    Abstract Quiescence or G0 is a reversible state in which cells cease division but retain the ability to resume proliferation. Quiescence occurs in all organisms and is essential for stem cell maintenance and tissue renewal. It is also related to chronological lifespan (CLS)-the survival of postmitotic quiescent cells (Q cells) over time-and thus contributes to longevity. Important questions remain regarding the mechanisms that control entry into quiescence, maintenance of quiescence and re-entry of Q cells into the cell cycle. S. cerevisiae has emerged as an excellent organism in which to address these questions because of the ease in which Q cells can be isolated. Following entry into G0, yeast cells remain viable for an extended period and can re-enter the cell cycle when exposed to growth-promoting signals. Histone acetylation is lost during the formation of Q cells and chromatin becomes highly condensed. This unique chromatin landscape regulates quiescence-specific transcriptional repression and has been linked to the formation and maintenance of Q cells. To ask whether other chromatin features regulate quiescence, we conducted two comprehensive screens of histone H3 and H4 mutants and identified mutants that show either altered quiescence entry or CLS. Examination of several quiescence entry mutants found that none of the mutants retain histone acetylation in Q cells but show differences in chromatin condensation. A comparison of H3 and H4 mutants with altered CLS to those with altered quiescence entry found that chromatin plays both overlapping and independent roles in the continuum of the quiescence program.

    Abstract The precise regulation of the entry into S phase is critical for preventing genome instability. The first step in the initiation of eukaryotic DNA synthesis occurs in G1 phase cells and involves the loading of the conserved MCM helicase onto multiple origins of replication in a process known as origin licensing. In proliferating metazoan cells, an origin-licensing checkpoint delays initiation until high levels of MCM loading occur, with excess origins being licensed. One function of this checkpoint is to ensure that S phase can be completed in the face of replication stress by activation of dormant MCM bound origins. However, when both metazoan and yeast cells enter S phase from quiescence or G0 phase, a non-growing but reversible cell cycle state, origins are significantly under-licensed. In metazoan cells, under-licensing is the result of a compromised origin-licensing checkpoint. In budding yeast, our study has revealed that under-licensing can be attributed to the chromatin structure at a class of origins that is inhibitory to the binding of MCM. Thus, defects in multiple pathways may contribute to the failure to fully license origins in quiescent cells re-entering the cell cycle, thereby promoting a higher risk of genome instability.

    Abstract Quiescent cells reside in G0 phase, which is characterized by the absence of cell growth and proliferation. These cells remain viable and re-enter the cell cycle when prompted by appropriate signals. Using a budding yeast model of cellular quiescence, we investigated the program that initiated DNA replication when these G0 cells resumed growth. Quiescent cells contained very low levels of replication initiation factors, and their entry into S phase was delayed until these factors were re-synthesized. A longer S phase in these cells correlated with the activation of fewer origins of replication compared to G1 cells. The chromatin structure around inactive origins in G0 cells showed increased H3 occupancy and decreased nucleosome positioning compared to the same origins in G1 cells, inhibiting the origin binding of the Mcm4 subunit of the MCM licensing factor. Thus, quiescent yeast cells are under-licensed during their re-entry into S phase.

    Abstract Non-growing quiescent cells face special challenges when repairing lesions produced by exogenous DNA damaging agents. These challenges include the global repression of transcription and translation and a compacted chromatin structure. We investigated how quiescent yeast cells regulated the repair of DNA lesions produced by UV irradiation. We found that UV lesions were excised and repaired in quiescent cells before their re-entry into S phase, and that lesion repair was correlated with high levels of Rad7, a recognition factor in the global genome repair sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair (GGR-NER). UV exposure led to an increased frequency of mutations that included C->T transitions and T > A transversions. Mutagenesis was dependent on the error-prone translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerase, Pol zeta, which was the only DNA polymerase present in detectable levels in quiescent cells. Across the genome of quiescent cells, UV-induced mutations showed an association with exons that contained H3K36 or H3K79 trimethylation but not with those bound by RNA polymerase II. Together, the data suggest that the distinct physiological state and chromatin structure of quiescent cells contribute to its regulation of UV damage repair.
