DNA Replication Initiation
1. Recognition: label the
    origin with the ORC

2. Initiative assembly or
licensing: load the DNA
helicase to form the pre-RC

3. Unwinding: activate the
DNA helicase


4. Elongative assembly:
load the replisome including
DNA polymerase (POL)
holoenyzmes and SSB
(single-stranded DNA
binding protein).

A review on
 ROLE OF NON CODING RNA IN
  REPLICATION INITIATION
INTEGRAL PART OF
TETRAHYMENA ORC-
      26T RNA
Tetrahymena thermophila
   • Unicellular ciliate
   • Model organism
   • Nuclear dimorphism -germline micronuclie, vegetative
     macronuclie.
   • Macronuclie- 5 monocentric chromosome-exceptional case
     rDNA chromosome-highly amplified.
   • cis-acting replication determinants, type I elements that
     associate with sequence-specific, single-stranded binding
     factors, TIF1 through TIF4.
   • TIF4- tetrahymena ORC. (Mohammad et. Al, 2003,2007).
   • Binds to T rich strand.
   • RNase treatment eliminates binding, its an RNP (Mohammad et.
     al,2009)

   • ORC binds to rDNA origin throughout the cell cycle. HOW?
Why rDNA ORC is stable?


26T RNA




Binding of TtORC to rDNA ori is regulated by a noncoding RNA.
(Mohammad et al.,2007)
26T RNA
   • Isolated and sequenced from TIF4
   • Corresponds to 282 nts of 3’ terminus of
     mature 23S rRNA. (Mohammad et al., 2007)
   • Hence the name
   • Sequence specifically interact with rDNA
     origin.
   • Confirmed by pull down assay and
     complementary mutations in 26TRNA.
   • Molecular mechanism- specific base pairing.
Proposed sequence of 26T RNA


                                      Characterization of 26T
                                      RNA




   Sequence alignment with rDNA ori

 Mohammad et al., 2007
• ChIP studies shows that ORC binds
  specifically to rDNA origin, but not other sites
  on the rDNA macronuclear chromosome.
• Recently, another ori-ARS 1 was identified,
  to which ORC binds independent of
  26TRNA.( Donti et al., 2009)
• But, the binding is on random sites.
• Concluding, 26T RNA needed for differential
  binding of ORC to rDNA origin.
• In conclusion, the key role of 26T RNA in the
  control of rDNA origin is linked to the efficient
  and site specific recruitment of ORC to this
  region, which is highly amplified during
  development.
• Give selective advantage under competitive
  demand for limited initiation factors.
• A new role for ribosomal RNA in
  chromosome biology
Unanswered Question

• ORC-26T RNA does not bind to the perfectly
  complementary rDNA region
• Does not bind to any other type 1 Element
• Something beyond the specific base
  pairing????????
Viral encoded G rich RNA
   recruits human ORC to
             EBV genome.
Epstein- Barr Virus
    • Oncogenic human gamma herpes virus.
    • EBV origin of plasmid replication (OriP)
      provides an attractive model to study ORC
      recruitment in human cells.
    • EBNA 1 , a virus encoded protein recruits
      host ORC to the particular element of Ori P,
      the dyad symmetry element. (Lindner and
      Sugden, 2007)
ORC binding to the viral origin

Norseen et al., 2009
• Human ORC does not have any sequence
  specificity, then how it is targeted to a particular
  sequence in EBV OriP?
• A structured non coding RNA plays key role in
  this sequence specific interaction. (Norseen et al.,
  2008)
• EBNA1 have amino terminal linking regions LR1
  and LR2 binding to ORC.
• Further study revealed LR contains RGG motif.
• RGG motif is known for RNA binding.
Mutation analysis confirmed this motif is essential
  for ORC binding.
• EBNA 1 binds to RNA through RGG
  motif.(Snudden et al., 1994, Lu et al., 2004)
  suggesting that ORC binding via these motif
  may influenced by RNA.
• Confirmed by treatment of immuno
  precipitants by RNase treatment- disrupted
  the interaction between EBNA and ORC.
  (Norseen et al., 2008)
• EBNA1 binds to its own mRNA.
• This RNAs are heterogeneous in size,
  EBNA1 shows preference to G rich RNA with
  particular secondary structures.(Lu et al., 2004,
  Norseen et al., 2009))

• G rich RNA can form G quadruplexes,
  suggesting G quadruplex mediate interaction
  of ORC and EBNA.
• EBNA1 mRNA have G rich motif.
Model of G rich RNA mediating ORC
 recruitment




Norseen et al., 2008
What’s next?
• Exact mechanism unknown.
• FMRP and HMGA1a proteins also contains
  RGG motifs
• MNase treatment of nuclear extracts
  released 40% ORC, Rnase treatment, 20%.
  (Norseen et al., 2008)
• Involved in cellular replication also???
• G-quadruplex-interacting compounds may be
  useful for the pharmacological inhibition of
  EBNA1-dependent replication.
Vertebrate Y RNA is
 essential for DNA
     replication
Y RNA
   • First identified in 80’s from the patients with
     autoimmune diseases. (Lerner et al,
   • 1981)
   • Component of Ro ribonucleoprotein.
   • Found in all vertebrates, C.elegans and
     D.radiodurans.
   • In humans, Located in chromosome
     7,transcribed by RNA polymerase III , 85-112
     nucleotides.
   • most abundant in heart and brain tissue
Y RNAs are highly conserved among vertebrates




                             Teunissen et al. Nuc Acids Res. 2000
Specific secondary structure is
responsible for function
Cellular functions
    • Effect on Ro 60 well understood
    • UV resistance in mammalian cells and
      bacteria
    • Localization of Ro 60
    • Inhibit chaperone activities of La, hn RNP I
      and K
    • Essential role in DNA replication
• Required for the functional        Cytosolic extract
  reconstitution of mammalian
  chromosomal replication in
  cell free system. (Christov et
  al.,2006)
                                   (RPA)QA     QB(PCNA+X)
• Isolated from cellular extract
  of S phase cell.
• Interacts with two proteins,
  RPA and PCNA.                       ArFT(Protein)             ArE (NA)
• All vertebrate YRNAs are                            DNase I     RNase A

  functionally redundant with          RNA
  each other.                                             Digestion
• Non vertebrate Y RNAs
  could not replace function.
•Depletion of hY RNA inhibits
chromosomal DNA replication
in late G1 template nuclei.

•Other hY RNAs could
reconstitute the function

•Y RNA is not priming the
replication


Christov et al.,2006
Functional substitution of hY1 RNA with
other Y RNAs
• Upper stem contains
  conserved motif for
  function in replication
• Non vertebrate Y RNAs
  do not have this motif.
• Only this motif is needed.
• two mutant Y RNAs with
  shuffled nucleotide
  sequences.SH and SH:US

Nascent DNA analysis




Krude et al., 2009
The catch and Release model
      • Y RNAs bind to euchromatin dynamically
      • Y RNAs interact with initiation proteins (ORC,
        Cdt1, Cdc6, DUE-B and Ku)
      • First associate with unreplicated G1 nuclei
      • Trigger initiation proteins
      • After initiation, leaves the region
      • Discriminates replicated and unreplicated
        regions,
      • Thus licensing “once and only once
        replication”
 Krude et al., 2011
Role in human diseases
• YRNAs are highly expressed in cancers. (Christov et al
    2008)
•    It was hypothesized that Y RNAs may have a critical
    role in maintaining the neoplastic phenotype of
    human tumors.

            Kidney             Lung            Postrate
Potential as a tool


• could serve as a potential biomarker for
  identification of proper therapeutic
  intervention
• could be used as a tool to manipulate cell
  cycle regulation and cell proliferation in
  culture.
Unanswered questions

•      The functional replacement of hY1 and hY3
    with other Ys. Is it just a numbers issue?


•     Involvement of Ro in terms of functional role
  in replication – how stable are the Y RNAs
  without this association?
• Are they associated with another factor in the
  nucleus that stabilizes them?
•      HOW DOES IT WORK?
CONCLUDING REMARKS…
• The emergence of non-coding RNAs from these
  studies implies the existence of additional factors
  assisting ORC for origin targeting and replication
  licensing.
• Upon RNase A treatment, a fraction of ORC is
  released from chromatin, indicating that the ORC
  association with chromatin can be partially
  stabilized by RNA ,
• It is highly possible that some structured RNAs
  mediate ORC recruitment to certain origins.
  These findings reinforce the important role of
  non-coding RNAs in the regulation of replication
  initiation.

Is it just a numbers issue? • Involvement of Ro in terms of functional role in replication – how stable are the Y RNAs without this association? • Are they associated with another factor in the nucleus that stabilizes them? • HOW DOES IT WORK?
  • 42. CONCLUDING REMARKS… • The emergence of non-coding RNAs from these studies implies the existence of additional factors assisting ORC for origin targeting and replication licensing. • Upon RNase A treatment, a fraction of ORC is released from chromatin, indicating that the ORC association with chromatin can be partially stabilized by RNA , • It is highly possible that some structured RNAs mediate ORC recruitment to certain origins. These findings reinforce the important role of non-coding RNAs in the regulation of replication initiation.
