Abstract
Cell extracts (S100) derived from human 293 cells were separated into five fractions by phosphocellulose chromatography and monitored for their ability to support simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro in the presence of purified SV40 T antigen. Three fractions, designated I, IIA, and IIC, were essential. Fraction IIC contained the known replication factors topoisomerases I and II, but in addition contained a novel replication factor called RF-C. The RF-C activity, assayed in the presence of I, IIA, and excess amounts of purified topoisomerases, was detected in both cytosol and nuclear fractions, but was more abundant in the latter fraction. RF-C was purified from the 293 cell nuclear fraction to near homogeneity by conventional column chromatography. The reconstituted reaction mix containing purified RF-C could replicate SV40 origin-containing plasmid DNA more efficiently than could the S100 extract, and the products were predominantly completely replicated, monomer molecules. Interestingly, in the absence of RF-C, early replicative intermediates accumulated and subsequent elongation was aberrant. Hybridization studies with strand-specific, single-stranded M13-SV40 DNAs showed that in the absence of RF-C, abnormal DNA synthesis occurred preferentially on the lagging strand, and leading-strand replication was inefficient. These products closely resembled those previously observed for SV40 DNA replication in vitro in the absence of proliferating-cell nuclear antigen. These results suggest that an elongation complex containing RF-C and proliferating-cell nuclear antigen is assembled after formation of the first nascent strands at the replication origin. Subsequent synthesis of leading and lagging strands at a eucaryotic DNA replication fork can be distinguished by different requirements for multiple replication components, but we suggest that even though the two polymerases function asymmetrically, they normally progress coordinately.
