The Initiation of DNA Replication in Eukaryotes

Abstract

Every time a cell divides, a copy of its genomic DNA has to be faithfully copied to generate new genomic DNA for the daughter cells. The process of DNA replication needs to be precisely regulated to ensure that replication of the genome is complete and accurate, but that re-replication does not occur. Errors in DNA replication can lead to genome instability and cancer. The process of replication initiation is of paramount importance, because once the cell is committed to replicate DNA, it is optimal to complete replication with minimal errors. Furthermore, agents that inhibit DNA replication initiation are now being targeted for cancer therapy. A great deal of progress has been made in understanding how DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotic cells in the past 10 years. This chapter introduces how the position of replication initiation, called the replication origin, is chosen. This chapter also introduces how replication initiation is integrated with the phases of the cell cycle, and how replication initiation is regulated in the case of damage to DNA. It is the cellular protein machinery that enables replication initiation to be activated and regulated. We now have an in-depth understanding of how cellular proteins work together to start DNA replication. A mechanistic description of DNA replication initiation is introduced in this chapter as well.
