The mammalian DNA replication program is controlled at two phases, the licensing of potential origins of DNA replication in early gap 1 (G1), and the selective firing of a subset of licenced origins in the synthesis (S) phase. Upon entry into the S phase, serine/threonine-protein kinase ATR (ATR) is required for successful completion of the DNA replication program by limiting unnecessary dormant origin activation. Equally important is its activator, DNA topoisomerase 2-binding protein 1 (TopBP1), which is also required for the initiation of DNA replication after a rise in S-phase kinase levels. However, it is unknown how the ATR activation domain of TopBP1 affects DNA replication dynamics. Using human cells conditionally expressing a TopBP1 mutant deficient for ATR activation, we show that functional TopBP1 is required in suppressing local dormant origin activation. Our results demonstrate a regulatory role for TopBP1 in the local balancing of replication fork firing within the S phase.
