2 REPLICATION AND GENOME ORGANIZATION INTRODUCTION PART I : PREDICTIONS ON THE REPLICATION OF THE HUMAN GENOME BY SEQUENCE ANALYSIS PART II : EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF THE PREDICTIONS

3 ORIGIN Replication in Eubacteria speed of the replication fork : 500 to 1000 nucleotides/second time to replicate the E. coli genome ( base pairs) : < 40 TER

4 Replication and gene orientation in bacteria

5 Similar type of organization in eukaryotes, in human, in mammals...?

6 Replication origins in the human genome origins Human genome ( base pairs) replication fork speed: nucl/s the genome is divided in ~ replication units replication is achieved in ~ 8 hours

7 Large number of origins Stochasticity (one origin is not active in all cell divisions) All regions must be replicated, but only once tight control of the replication program replication factories: specialized sites occupied by several active replicons Cook Science 284 (1999)

8 Only 10-15% of replicons are active simultaneously during S phase Different origins activated at different moments of S phase Replication factories assemble dynamically in an organized program early middle/late D. Dimitrova, Nat. Rev. Genet. (2005) regions that replicate synchronuously in one cycle replicate synchronuously in the next cycle Replication program clonally inherited

9 Human spatio-temporal replication program : Where are the ~ replication origins on the genome? How is their activation orchestrated during the S phase?

10 Sequence associated with replication origins S. cerevisiae : ARS regions (~ 125 bp ; 11 bp ACS consensus) ; all origins experimentally determined S. pombe : ARS (~ 750 bp; no consensus, but AT-stretch) a number of origins experimentally determined multicellular eukaryotes : replication origins are mostly unknown! very few origins experimentally determined no consensus sequence (epigenetic elements) Human : replication origins expected ~ 30 well established ; 300 recently proposed by microarray experiments (Cadoret et al. PNAS 2009)
