Summary:The selection of replication origins is a defining characteristic of DNA replication in eukaryotes, yet its mechanism in humans has not been well-defined. In this study, we use Cut&Run to examine genomic binding locations for TICRR/TRESLIN and MTBP, the human orthologs for the yeast DNA replication initiation factors Sld3 and Sld7. We mapped TRESLIN and MTBP binding in HCT116 colorectal cancer cells using asynchronous and G1 synchronized populations. Our data show that TRESLIN and MTBP binding patterns are more defined in a G1 synchronized population compared to asynchronously cycling cells. We also examined whether TRESLIN and MTBP are dependent on one another for binding. Our data suggest MTBP is dependent on TRESLIN for proper association with chromatin during G1 but not S phase. Finally, we asked whether TRESLIN and MTBP binding to chromatin requires licensed origins. Using cell lines with a non-degradable inducible Geminin to inhibit licensing, we show TRESLIN and MTBP binding does not require loaded MCMs. Altogether, our Cut&Run data provides evidence for a chromatin binding mechanism of TRESLIN-MTBP during G1 that is dependent on TRESLIN and does not require interactions with licensed origins.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
