Cell Cycle Regulation has Shaped Budding Yeast Replication Origin Structure and Function

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1038/s41594-025-01591-9

Abstract

Summary: Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates from multiple genomic loci known as origins. At budding yeast origins like ARS1, a double hexamer (DH) of the MCM replicative helicase is assembled by Origin Recognition Complex (ORC), Cdc6 and Cdt1 via sequential hexamer loading from two opposed ORC binding sites. Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK) inhibits DH assembly, which prevents re-replication by restricting helicase loading to G1 phase. Here we show that an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) in the Orc2 subunit promotes interaction between ORC and the first loaded, closed-ring MCM hexamer (the MO intermediate); CDK phosphorylation of this IDR blocks MO formation and DH assembly. We show that MO functions by stabilising ORC at the lower affinity binding sites required for second hexamer loading. Origins comprising two high affinity ORC sites can assemble DH efficiently without MO by independently loading single hexamers; these origins escape CDK inhibition in vitro and in vivo . Our work reveals mechanistic plasticity in MCM loading with implications for understanding how CDK regulation has shaped yeast origin evolution and how natural origins might escape cell cycle regulation. We also identify key steps common to loading pathways, with implications for understanding how MCM is loaded in other eukaryotes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
