Abstract
A cytosol extract from human 293 cells supports efficient replication of SV40 origin-containing plasmid DNA in the presence of the SV40 T antigen. Addition of a nuclear extract from the same cells promotes negative supercoiling of the replicated DNA but not the bulk of the unreplicated DNA. The level of superhelicity is affected by the concentrations of T antigen and nuclear extract factors and by the time of addition of the nuclear extract. The replicated DNA in isolated DNA-protein complexes resists relaxation by purified HeLa cell topoisomerase I. Micrococcal nuclease digestion, sucrose gradient sedimentation, and electron microscopy demonstrate that the negative supercoils result from assembly of the replicating DNA into a chromatin structure. These results suggest that, during DNA replication, the core histones can be assembled on both sides of the replication fork by an active, replication-linked mechanism that does not require a template of preexisting nucleosomes.
