Initiation
Step One:
-DNA gyrase uncoils DNA molecule
-Initiation occurs at specific site called oriC region which is rich in A's and T's which is easier to uncoil because they have double bonds not triple bonds
Step Two:
-Initiator proteins (SSBP) binds to DNA strand and stabilizes
Step Three: Helicase unzips ds DNA by breaking H bonds
Elongation
Step 4:
-Primase adds a 10-20 base pair piece (primer) of RNA to end of each ss DNA molecule
-Multiple primers added to LAGGING strand
-DNA replication occurs in 5' to 3' direction (3'---5' leading, 5'---3' lagging)
Step 5: LEADING
-DNA pol III binds to DNA at fork
-Clamp and clamp loader lock enzyme onto DNA
-DNA pol III slides down DNA strand toward 5' end adding nucleotides to complementary bases on template
-H-bonds form between bases and phosphodiester bonds between sugars to make ds back bone
Step 5: LAGGING
-DNA pol III attaches to DNA and is clamped
Step 6:
-DNA pol III synthesizes Okazaki fragments
-At end of each fragment it is released and reattaches to beginning of each fragment
(5-->3 , 3<---5 harder) Synthesized in Okazaki fragments
Termination
Step 7: DNA polymerase I removes primers, fills in gaps between fragments on lagging strand so have a complete strand
Step 8: DNA ligase connects all pieces together
DNA gyrase
Relieves torque
Helicase
Unwinds the double helix by breaking H-bonds
SSBP
initiator proteins
Primase
Synthesizes RNA primers
DNA polymerase III
Synthesizes DNA
Clamp and Clamp loader
The beta subunit is made up of two identical protein chains that come together to form a circle, this circle can be loaded onto the template like a clamp.
Multisubunit protein called clamp loader accomplishes opening and closing the clamp around the DNA
DNA polymerase I
Erases primer and fills gaps
DNA ligase
Joins the ends of DNA segments; DNA repair
E. Coli
-DNA is 1000x longer than cell
-30 miles fishing line into a blueberry
-Supercoiling: twisted and packed to fit
oriC
site where initiation occurs
supercoiling
twisting and packing DNA to fit into a cell
Initiator proteins
(SSBP) binds to DNA strand and stabilizes
Replication fork
The opening between two strands
Primer
10-20 base pair piece of RNA added to each end of ss DNA molecule
Antiparallel
3'--5'
5'--3'
Discontinuous
The lagging strand
Lagging strand
-Discontinuous
Leading strand
Continuous
Okazaki fragments
DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand. They introduce a need for even more enzymatic activity on lagging strand
What are the 3 main events in DNA replication?
Initiation
Elongation
Termination
What enzymes are required for DNA replication?
Helicase, primase, SSBP, DNA gyrase, DNA pol III, DNA pol I, DNA ligase
template
The parental DNA strand serves as the template to be copied by the enzymes
replisome
Enzymes involved in DNA replication forms macromolecular assembly called the replisome.
-Replication organelle
-Contains all necessary enzymes for replication
What is supercoiling and why is it needed?
Supercoiling is the twisting and packing of DNA to fit within a cell
What chemical bonds are formed during elongation?
During elongation, Hydrogen bonds are formed between bases (double between A and T, triple between C and G) and phosphodiester bonds form between the sugars to make the ds backbone
