AB - Initiation of DNA replication depends upon recog-nition of genomic sites, termed origins, by AAA+ATPases. In prokaryotes a single factor binds eachorigin, whereas in eukaryotes this role is playedby a six-protein origin recognition complex (ORC).Why eukaryotes evolved a multisubunit initiator, andthe roles of each component, remains unclear. InTrypanosoma brucei, an ancient unicellular eukary-ote, only one ORC-related initiator, TbORC1/CDC6,has been identified by sequence homology. Herewe show that three TbORC1/CDC6-interacting fac-tors also act inT. bruceinuclear DNA replicationand demonstrate that TbORC1/CDC6 interacts in ahigh molecular complex in which a diverged Orc4homologue and one replicative helicase subunit canalso be found. Analysing the subcellular localizationof four TbORC1/CDC6-interacting factors during thecell cycle reveals that one factor, TbORC1B, is nota static constituent of ORC but displays S-phaserestricted nuclear localization and expression, sug-gesting it positively regulates replication. This workshows that ORC architecture and regulation are di-verged features of DNA replication initiation inT. bru-cei, providing new insight into this key stage of eu-karyotic genome copying.
