    Lecture 1 DNA REPLICATION Objectives: 1. To understand the replication process and where it occurs in the cell cycle. 2. To describe the Replication Fork, Okazaki fragments and the enzymes involved in the unwinding process and replication. 3. To understand how DNA polymerase initiate the synthesis of new strands. 4. To define Telomeres and Telomerase and their clinical significance. Gene expression also called protein expression or often simply expression: is the process by which a gene's DNA sequence is converted into the structures and functions of a cell. The amount of protein that a cell expresses depends on: 1. the tissue, 2. the developmental stage of the organism 3. and the metabolic or physiologic state of the cell. DNA replication or DNA synthesis is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA strand, prior to cell division. The two resulting double strands are identical (if the replication went well), and each of them consists of one original and one newly synthesized strand. This is called semi conservative replication. 1 Prof. Dr. H.D.El-Yassin 2013 Lecture 1 The process of replication consists of three steps, initiation, replication and termination. 1. Prokaryotic replication Basic Requirement for DNA Synthesis 1. Substrates: the four deoxy nucleosides triphosphates are needed as substrates for DNA synthesis. Cleavage of the high-energy phosphate bond between the α and β phosphates provides the energy for the addition of the nucleotide. 2. Template: DNA replication cannot occur without a template. A template is required to direct the addition of the appropriate complementary deoxynucleotide to the newly synthesized DNA strand.

  • Collision with Duplex DNA Renders Escherichia Coli DNA Polymerase III
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Collision with duplex DNA renders Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme susceptible to Received: 8 May 2017 Accepted: 18 September 2017 DNA polymerase IV-mediated Published: xx xx xxxx polymerase switching on the sliding clamp Thanh Thi Le, Asako Furukohri, Masahiro Tatsumi-Akiyama & Hisaji Maki Organisms possess multiple DNA polymerases (Pols) and use each for a different purpose. One of the five Pols inEscherichia coli, DNA polymerase IV (Pol IV), encoded by the dinB gene, is known to participate in lesion bypass at certain DNA adducts. To understand how cells choose Pols when the replication fork encounters an obstacle on template DNA, the process of polymerase exchange from the primary replicative enzyme DNA polymerase III (Pol III) to Pol IV was studied in vitro. Replicating Pol III forming a tight holoenzyme (Pol III HE) with the sliding clamp was challenged by Pol IV on a primed ssDNA template carrying a short inverted repeat. A rapid and lesion-independent switch from Pol III to Pol IV occurred when Pol III HE encountered a hairpin stem duplex, implying that the loss of Pol III-ssDNA contact induces switching to Pol IV. Supporting this idea, mutant Pol III with an increased affinity for ssDNA was more resistant to Pol IV than wild-type Pol III was. We observed that an exchange between Pol III and Pol IV also occurred when Pol III HE collided with primer/template duplex. Our data suggest that Pol III-ssDNA interaction may modulate the susceptibility of Pol III HE to Pol IV-mediated polymerase exchange.

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota.
