Replication stress links Geminin depletion to centrosome amplification

The timing of DNA replication and centrosome duplication is tightly regulated with cell cycle progression to ensure the faithful duplication of the genome during cell division. Both DNA and centrosomes are licensed for replication in late telophase/early G1, replicated in S phase and segregated during mitosis; yet how defects in DNA replication licensing are coupled to centrosome homeostasis remains poorly understood. Here, we show that depletion of the replication licensing inhibitor Geminin in proliferating mouse embryonic fibroblasts induces robust centrosome amplification together with impaired primary cilium assembly. Rather than promoting whole-genome reduplication, knockdown of Geminin triggers a replication stress response, characterized by DNA damage accumulation throughout the cycle, and activation of an ATR-dependent DNA damage response. Mechanistically, Geminin depletion-induced replication stress activates the ATR-Chk1-Wee1 checkpoint axis prolonging G2 and leading to premature centriole disengagement and centrosome amplification. These findings identify replication stress as the signaling module that couples defective DNA replication licensing to centrosome amplification.
