Rif1 restrains the rate of replication origin firing in Xenopus laevis

Résumé

Metazoan genomes are duplicated by the coordinated activation of clusters of replication origins at different times during S phase, but the underlying mechanisms of this temporal program remain unclear during early development. Rif1, a key replication timing factor, inhibits origin firing by recruiting protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) to chromatin counteracting S phase kinases. We have previously described that Rif1 depletion accelerates early Xenopus laevis embryonic cell cycles. Here, we find that in the absence of Rif1, patterns of replication foci change along with the acceleration of replication cluster activation. However, initiations increase only moderately inside active clusters. Our numerical simulations suggest that the absence of Rif1 compresses the temporal program towards more homogeneity and increases the availability of limiting initiation factors. We experimentally demonstrate that Rif1 depletion increases the chromatin-binding of the S phase kinase Cdc7/Drf1, the firing factors Treslin, MTBP, Cdc45, RecQL4, and the phosphorylation of both Treslin and MTBP. We show that Rif1 globally, but not locally, restrains the replication program in early embryos, possibly by inhibiting or excluding replication factors from chromatin.
