The activation of eukaryotic DNA replication origins needs to be strictly controlled at multiple steps in order to faithfully duplicate the genome and to maintain its stability. How the checkpoint recovery and adaptation protein Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) regulates the firing of replication origins during non-challenged S phase remained an open question. Using DNA fiber analysis, we show that immunodepletion of Plk1 in the Xenopus in vitro system decreases replication fork density and initiation frequency. Numerical analyses suggest that Plk1 reduces the overall probability and synchrony of origin firing. We used quantitative chromatin proteomics and co-immunoprecipitations to demonstrate that Plk1 interacts with firing factors MTBP/Treslin/TopBP1 as well as with Rif1, a known regulator of replication timing. Phosphopeptide analysis by LC/MS/MS shows that the C-terminal domain of Rif1, which is necessary for its repressive action on origins through protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), can be phosphorylated in vitro by Plk1 on S2058 in its PP1 binding site. The phosphomimetic S2058D mutant interrupts the Rif1-PP1 interaction and modulates DNA replication. Collectively, our study provides molecular insights into how Plk1 regulates the spatio-temporal replication program and suggests that Plk1 controls origin activation at the level of large chromatin domains in vertebrates.

Figure 1. Plk1 depletion decreases replication fork density and initiation frequency during unchallenged S phase. (A) Xenopus egg extracts were mock- or Plk1-depleted and remaining Plk1 was quantified on western blot using anti-Plk1 antibody. * marks a non-specific band. (B) Sperm nuclei (2000 nuclei/μl) were incubated in mock- or Plk1-depleted Xenopus egg extracts in the presence of Biotin-dUTP for different times and analyzed by DNA combing. Selection of three representative DNA fibers of early S phase from mock- (top three) or Plk1-depleted (bottom three) extract; in red, replication eyes labeled by Biotin-dUTP, in green, whole DNA fibers. (C) Replicated fraction (%), fork density (kbâ1) and frequency of initiation (kbâ1sâ1) for three independent experiments at 2 or 3 time points were calculated and reported in the table. (D) scatter blot of ratios Î Plk/Îmock of replication parameters for each line shown in C, with mean (n = 8) and standard deviation, P values, one sample t-test, compared to theoretical mean 1. | |
