ABSTRACT Noncoding RNAs are recognized increasingly as important regulators of fundamental biological processes, such as gene expression and development, in eukaryotes. We report here the identification and functional characterization of the small noncoding human Y RNAs (hY RNAs) as novel factors for chromosomal DNA replication in a human cell-free system. In addition to protein fractions, hY RNAs are essential for the establishment of active chromosomal DNA replication forks in template nuclei isolated from late-G1-phase human cells. Specific degradation of hY RNAs leads to the inhibition of semiconservative DNA replication in late-G1-phase template nuclei. This inhibition is negated by resupplementation of hY RNAs. All four hY RNAs (hY1, hY3, hY4, and hY5) can functionally substitute for each other in this system. Mutagenesis of hY1 RNA showed that the binding site for Ro60 protein, which is required for Ro RNP assembly, is not essential for DNA replication. Degradation of hY1 RNA in asynchronously proliferating HeLa cells by RNA interference reduced the percentages of cells incorporating bromodeoxyuridine in vivo. These experiments implicate a functional role for hY RNAs in human chromosomal DNA replication.

Origin Of Dna Replication

The DNA polymerase from Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliNPV) was expressed in, and purified from, prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems. While less protein was obtained from the E. coli expression system, SpliNPV DNAPOL purified from E. coli displayed similar biochemical characteristics to DNAPOL expressed in, and subsequently purified from, insect cells (Sf9) using a baculovirus expression system. Biochemical analyses suggested that the DNA polymerase and the 3′–5′ exonuclease activities are intrinsic to the protein. Deletion of the first 80 amino acid residues from the N terminus of the DNAPOL affected neither the DNA polymerase nor the exonuclease activities of the enzyme. Replication products from single-stranded M13 DNA demonstrated that the DNA synthesis activity of SpliNPV DNAPOL is highly processive. Transient expression assays with a set of deletion clones containing the putative SpliNPV non-hr origin of DNA replication permitted functional characterization of sequence elements within the origin fragment. Purified SpliNPV DNAPOL stimulated origin-dependent DNA replication in a cell-free replication assay.

Mouse liver DNA was cut out with BamHI and cloned into YIp5, which contained the URA3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in pBR322. Of the several plasmids isolated, two plasmids, pMU65 and pMU111, could transform S. cerevisiae from the URA- to the URA+ phenotype and could replicate autonomously within the transformant, indicating that mouse DNA fragments present in pMU65 or pMU111 contain autonomously replicating sequences (ARS) for replication in S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, to determine the correlation between ARS function in yeast cells and that in much higher organisms, we tried to challenge these plasmids with the simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication system. Of the two plasmids tested, the EcoRI-BglII region of pMU65 could be hybridized with a chemically synthesized 13-nucleotide fragment corresponding to the origin region of SV40 DNA. Both pMU65 (the EcoRI-BglII region cloned in pBR322) and its subclone pMU65EB could replicate semiconservatively, and initiation of DNA replication started from the EcoRI-BglII region when the replicating activity of these plasmids was tested in the in vitro SV40 DNA replication system we have established before. Furthermore, pMU65 and pMU65EB could replicate autonomously within monkey Cos cells which produce SV40 T antigen constitutively. These results show that a 2.5-kilobase fragment of the EcoRI-BglII region in pMU65 contains the ARS needed for replication in the SV40 DNA replication system.
