Latent Epstein-Barr virus genome is maintained in cells by the viral oriP-binding factor EBNA1 and cellular replication factors. EBNA1 binds to the dyad symmetry (DS) element in oriP and initiates DNA replication once in a single S phase, but the mechanism by which this DS-dependent replication is initiated is unknown. Replication licensing of cellular chromatins occurs during early G1 phase. Because licensing is essential for the next round of replication in S phase, it facilitates once-in-a-cell-cycle replication of the cellular genome. Using the transient replication assay with HeLa/EB1 cell, we demonstrate that the oriP plasmid required a cell cycle window including early G1 phase for replication in the next S phase. The plasmid containing only the DS element had a similar requirement of early G1 phase for replication. Analysis using sucrose density gradient centrifugation revealed that the oriP minichromosome existed in two distinct states: one formed at late G1 and the other formed at G2/M. These results suggest that the DS-dependent DNA replication from oriP requires the replication licensing, implying a possible involvement of the cellular licensing factor MCM in the DNA replication from oriP.
