Moderate averaging represents a valid approach for origin recognition complex/minichromosome maintenance complex (ORC/MCM) chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis.

(a) Sequencing profile visualization in UCSC Genome Browser (hg19) at the Mcm4/PRKDC origin after reads per genomic content normalization: two samples of Orc2 and Orc3, and three samples of Mcm3 and Mcm7, are plotted against the input in three replicates. The profiles are shown in a 10 kb window (chr8: 48,868,314–48,878,313); the mapped position of the origin is indicated as green line. (b) The profile of ORC/MCM ChIP-seq after 1 kb binning at the same locus. The reads of replicates were summed and normalized by the total genome-wide ChIP read frequency followed by input division. Y-axis represents the resulting relative read frequency. (c) Correlation plot between Orc2 and Orc3 relative read frequencies in 1 kb bins. (d) Correlation plot between Mcm3 and Mcm7 relative read frequencies in 1 kb bins. (e) Heatmap of Pearson correlation coefficients r between all ChIP relative read frequencies in 1 kb bins. Column and line order were determined by complete linkage hierarchical clustering using the correlation distance (d = 1 r).

Model for replication organization in higher eukaryotes.

(a) Replication is organized in large segments of constant replication timing (early replication timing domain [RTD], dark grey; late RTD, light grey) (Marchal et al., 2019). While we observe the ubiquitous presence of the origin recognition complex (ORC; orange) and the minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM; blue) throughout the genome, the enrichment levels of ORC/MCM were higher in early RTDs compared to late RTDs. (b) Early RTDs are among other characterized by active transcription. ORC/MCM are locally highly enriched at active transcription start site (TSS). However, actively transcribed gene bodies (black) are deprived of ORC/MCM, often correlating with replication termination (blue). Besides TSSs, we find ORC/MCM stochastically distributed along intergenic regions. We hypothesize that traveling replication forks trigger activation of replication in a cascade (red arrows). (c) In gene-deprived and transcriptionally silent late-replicating heterochromatin, we detected homogeneous ORC/MCM distribution at generally lower levels. H4K20me3 is present at late-replicating non-genic ascending segments (ASs) and null RFD regions (NRRs) and leads to enhanced ORC/MCM binding, linking this histone mark to replication activation in heterochromatin.
