DNA replication origins in hyperacetylated euchromatin fire preferentially during early S phase. However, how acetylation controls DNA replication timing is unknown. TICRR/TRESLIN is an essential protein required for the initiation of DNA replication. Here, we report that TICRR physically interacts with the acetyl-histone binding bromodomain (BRD) and extraterminal (BET) proteins BRD2 and BRD4. Abrogation of this interaction impairs TICRR binding to acetylated chromatin and disrupts normal S-phase progression. Our data reveal a novel function for BET proteins and establish the TICRR-BET interaction as a potential mechanism for epigenetic control of DNA replication.
DNA 复制起点在 hyperacetylated euchromatin 中优先在早期 S 期引发。然而,乙酰化如何控制 DNA 复制时间尚不清楚。TICRR/TRESLIN 是 DNA 复制起始所必需的一种必需蛋白。在这里,我们报告 TICRR 与乙酰化组蛋白结合溴结构域(BRD)和端外(BET)蛋白 BRD2 和 BRD4 发生物理相互作用。这种相互作用的中断会损害 TICRR 与乙酰化染色质的结合,并破坏正常的 S 期进展。我们的数据揭示了 BET 蛋白的新功能,并确立了 TICRR-BET 相互作用作为表观遗传控制 DNA 复制的潜在机制。
