We previously identified and purified from human
(HeLa) cells a 66-kDa cruciform-binding protein, CBP, with binding
specificity for cruciform DNA regardless of its sequence. DNA
cruciforms have been implicated in the regulation of initiation of DNA
replication. CBP is a member of the 14-3-3 family of proteins, which
are conserved regulatory molecules expressed in all eukaryotes. Here,
the in vivo association of CBP/14-3-3 with mammalian
origins of DNA replication was analyzed by studying its association
with the monkey replication origins ors8 and
ors12, as assayed by a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and quantitative PCR analysis. The association of the 14-3-3 , - , - , and - isoforms with these origins was found to be
~9-fold higher, compared with other portions of the genome, in
logarithmically growing cells. In addition, the association of these
isoforms with ors8 and ors12 was also analyzed
as a function of the cell cycle. Higher binding of 14-3-3 , - ,
- , and - isoforms with ors8 and ors12 was
found at the G1/S border, by comparison with other stages
of the cell cycle. The CBP/14-3-3 cruciform binding activity was also
found to be maximal at the G1/S boundary. The involvement
of 14-3-3 in mammalian DNA replication was analyzed by studying the
effect of anti-14-3-3 , - , - , and - antibodies in the
in vitro replication of p186, a plasmid containing the minimal replication origin of ors8. Anti-14-3-3 , - ,
and - antibodies alone or in combination inhibited p186 replication
by ~50-80%, while anti-14-3-3 antibodies had a lesser effect
(~25-50%). All of the antibodies tested were also able to interfere
with CBP binding to cruciform DNA. The results indicate that CBP/14-3-3 is an origin-binding protein, acting at the initiation step of DNA
replication by binding to cruciform-containing molecules, and
dissociates after origin firing.
