SummaryThe entire genome is replicated in a programmed manner, with specific regions undergoing DNA synthesis at different times in S phase. Active genes generally replicate in early S phase, while repressed genes replicate late, and for some loci this process is developmentally regulated. Using a nuclear microinjection system, we demonstrate that DNA sequences originally packaged into nucleosomes containing deacetylated histones during late S become reassembled with acetylated histones after undergoing replication in early S. Conversely, a change from early to late replication timing is accompanied by repackaging into nucleosomes containing deacetylated histones. This is carried out by differential cell-cycle-controlled acetylation and deacetylation of histones H3 and H4. These studies provide strong evidence that switches in replication timing may play a role in the regulation of nucleosome structure during development.
