ABSTRACTIn Eukaryotic organisms, replication initiation follows a temporal program. Among the parameters that regulate this program in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chromatin structure has been at the center of attention without considering the contribution of transcription. Here, we revisit the replication initiation program in the light of pervasive transcription. We find that noncoding RNA transcription termination in the vicinity of replication origins or ARS (Autonomously Replicating Sequences) maximizes replication initiation by restricting transcriptional readthrough into ARS. Consistently, high natural nascent transcription correlates with low ARS efficiency and late replication timing. High readthrough transcription is also linked to chromatin features such as high levels of H3K36me3 and deacetylated nucleosomes. Moreover, forcing ARS readthrough transcription promotes these histone modifications. Finally, replication initiation defects induced by increased transcriptional readthrough are partially rescued in the absence of H3K36 methylation. Altogether, these observations indicate that natural pervasive transcription into ARS influences replication initiation through chromatin remodeling.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) stimulates growth and immunoglobulin (lg) secretion in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected B cells. In this study, we demonstrate that B-cell activation by IL-6 is associated with an initial induction of c-myc, a gene believed to act as a competence factor for increased RNA transcription and DNA replication, and by increases in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, as well as cell number. IL-6 increased the levels of lg mRNA per cell in comparison to a non- cycle-dependent cellular mRNA, tubulin. However, two other cell cycle- dependent cellular mRNAs, c-myc and actin, were also induced by IL-6 comparable to lg mRNAs. Increased levels of lg mRNA were not due to significant changes in RNA turnover, but appeared to reflect increased levels of RNA transcription. Together, these findings support the notion that IL-6 plays an important role as a stimulator of DNA and RNA synthesis in EBV-activated B cells.
