RESUMO
Cell survival to replication stress depends on the activation of the Mec1ATR-Rad53 checkpoint response that protects the integrity of stalled forks and controls the origin firing program. Here we found that Mad2, a member of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), contributes to efficient origin firing and to cell survival in response to replication stress. We show that Rad53 and Mad2 promote S-phase cyclin expression through different mechanisms: while Rad53 influences Clb5,6 degradation, Mad2 promotes their protein synthesis. We found that Mad2 co-sediments with polysomes and modulates the association of the translation inhibitor Caf204E-BP with the translation machinery and the initiation factor eIF4E. This Mad2-dependent translational regulatory process does not depend on other SAC proteins. Altogether our observations indicate that Mad2 has an additional function outside of mitosis to control DNA synthesis and collaborates with the Mec1-Rad53 regulatory axis to allow cell survival in response to replication stress.

Regulation of replication origins is important for complete duplication of the genome, but the effect of origin activation on the cellular response to replication stress is poorly understood. The budding yeast rRNA gene (rDNA) forms tandem repeats and undergoes replication fork arrest at the replication fork barrier (RFB), inducing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and genome instability accompanied by copy number alterations. Here, we demonstrate that the S-phase cyclin Clb5 promotes rDNA stability. Absence of Clb5 led to reduced efficiency of replication initiation in rDNA but had little effect on the number of replication forks arrested at the RFB, suggesting that arrival of the converging fork is delayed and forks are more stably arrested at the RFB. Deletion of CLB5 affected neither DSB formation nor its repair at the RFB but led to homologous recombination-dependent rDNA instability. Therefore, arrested forks at the RFB may be subject to DSB-independent, recombination-dependent rDNA instability. The rDNA instability in clb5Δ was not completely suppressed by the absence of Fob1, which is responsible for fork arrest at the RFB. Thus, Clb5 establishes the proper interval for active replication origins and shortens the travel distance for DNA polymerases, which may reduce Fob1-independent DNA damage.

The Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase activated by its G1 specific adaptor protein Cdh1 is a major regulator of the cell cycle. The APC/C(Cdh1) mediates degradation of dozens of proteins, however, the kinetics and requirements for their degradation are largely unknown. We demonstrate that overexpression of the constitutive active CDH1(m11) mutant that is not inhibited by phosphorylation results in mitotic exit in the absence of the FEAR and MEN pathways, and DNA re-replication in the absence of Cdc7 activity. This mode of mitotic exit also reveals additional requirements for APC/C(Cdh1) substrate degradation, which for some substrates such as Pds1 or Clb5 is dephosphorylation, but for others such as Cdc5 is phosphorylation.

Similarly to metazoans, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cereviasiae replicates its genome with a defined timing. In this organism, well-defined, site-specific origins, are efficient and fire in almost every round of DNA replication. However, this strategy is neither conserved in the fission yeast Saccharomyces pombe, nor in Xenopus or Drosophila embryos, nor in higher eukaryotes, in which DNA replication initiates asynchronously throughout S phase at random sites. Temporal and spatial controls can contribute to the timing of replication such as Cdk activity, origin localization, epigenetic status or gene expression. However, a debate is going on to answer the question how individual origins are selected to fire in budding yeast. Two opposing theories were proposed: the "replicon paradigm" or "temporal program" vs. the "stochastic firing". Recent data support the temporal regulation of origin activation, clustering origins into temporal blocks of early and late replication. Contrarily, strong evidences suggest that stochastic processes acting on origins can generate the observed kinetics of replication without requiring a temporal order. In mammalian cells, a spatiotemporal model that accounts for a partially deterministic and partially stochastic order of DNA replication has been proposed. Is this strategy the solution to reconcile the conundrum of having both organized replication timing and stochastic origin firing also for budding yeast? In this review we discuss this possibility in the light of our recent study on the origin activation, suggesting that there might be a stochastic component in the temporal activation of the replication origins, especially under perturbed conditions.
