Abstract
The role of proteins often changes during evolution, but we do not know how cells adapt when a protein is asked to participate in a different biological function. We forced the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to use the meiosis-specific kleisin, recombination 8 (Rec8), during the mitotic cell cycle, instead of its paralog, Scc1. This perturbation impairs sister chromosome linkage, advances the timing of genome replication, and reduces reproductive fitness by 45%. We evolved 15 parallel populations for 1,750 generations, substantially increasing their fitness, and analyzed the genotypes and phenotypes of the evolved cells. Only one population contained a mutation in Rec8, but many populations had mutations in the transcriptional mediator complex, cohesin-related genes, and cell cycle regulators that induce S phase. These mutations improve sister chromosome cohesion and delay genome replication in Rec8-expressing cells. We conclude that changes in known and novel partners allow cells to use an existing protein to participate in new biological functions.

Abstract
Many biological features are conserved and thus considered to be resistant to evolutionary change. While rapid genetic adaptation following the removal of conserved genes has been observed, we often lack a mechanistic understanding of how adaptation happens. We used the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to investigate the evolutionary plasticity of chromosome metabolism, a network of evolutionary conserved modules. We experimentally evolved cells constitutively experiencing DNA replication stress caused by the absence of Ctf4, a protein that coordinates the enzymatic activities at replication forks. Parallel populations adapted to replication stress, over 1000 generations, by acquiring multiple, concerted mutations. These mutations altered conserved features of two chromosome metabolism modules, DNA replication and sister chromatid cohesion, and inactivated a third, the DNA damage checkpoint. The selected mutations define a functionally reproducible evolutionary trajectory. We suggest that the evolutionary plasticity of chromosome metabolism has implications for genome evolution in natural populations and cancer.

Mol Cell 2019; 73:900-914.e9. [PMID: 30733119 DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2019.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2018] [Revised: 09/13/2018] [Accepted: 12/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Post-replication repair (PRR) allows tolerance of chemical- and UV-induced DNA base lesions in both an error-free and an error-prone manner. In classical PRR, PCNA monoubiquitination recruits translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases that can replicate through lesions. We find that PRR responds to DNA replication stress that does not cause base lesions. Rad5 forms nuclear foci during normal S phase and after exposure to types of replication stress where DNA base lesions are likely absent. Rad5 binds to the sites of stressed DNA replication forks, where it recruits TLS polymerases to repair single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps, preventing mitotic defects and chromosome breaks. In contrast to the prevailing view of PRR, our data indicate that Rad5 promotes both mutagenic and error-free repair of undamaged ssDNA that arises during physiological and exogenous replication stress.
