DNA replication is temporally and spatially organized in all eukaryotes, yet the molecular control and biological function of the replication-timing program are unclear. Rif1 is required for normal genome-wide regulation of replication timing, but its molecular function is poorly understood. Here we show that in mouse embryonic stem cells, Rif1 coats late-replicating domains and, with Lamin B1, identifies most of the late-replicating genome. Rif1 is an essential determinant of replication timing of non-Lamin B1-bound late domains. We further demonstrate that Rif1 defines and restricts the interactions between replication-timing domains during the G1 phase, thereby revealing a function of Rif1 as organizer of nuclear architecture. Rif1 loss affects both number and replication-timing specificity of the interactions between replication-timing domains. In addition, during the S phase, Rif1 ensures that replication of interacting domains is temporally coordinated. In summary, our study identifies Rif1 as the molecular link between nuclear architecture and replication-timing establishment in mammals. Most late-replicating regions are marked by Rif1 (RADs) Late replication in RADs is differentially regulated where Lamin B1 is stably bound Rif1 constrains inter-domain contacts within the same replication timing in G1 Rif1 coordinates the replication timing of interacting domains At replication-timing establishment, chromatin domains are forced to interact only with regions sharing the same replication timing. Foti et al. demonstrate that Rif1 is responsible for this constraint because Rif1 deletion leads to loss of spatial limitations followed by replication-timing program disruption. Therefore, Rif1 links nuclear architecture and replication-timing establishment.
