DNA Replication DNA Replication Basic Reaction -- Components Needed Free Nucleotide Base (Needed for basepairing). 3’ End on the Backbone (with an Oxygen). Nucleoside TriPhosphate (NTP). Must be correct nucleotide base for basepairing. The reaction frees two of the phosphates from the nucleotide. DNA Polymerase to catalyze the 3’-5’ Phosphodiester bond. DNA Replication Polymerase w DNA Dependent DNA Polymerase w DNA Dependent RNA Polymerase w RNA Dependent DNA Polymerase w RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase DNA Dependent DNA Polymerase (DNA Polymerase) Requirements: 1. 3’ end with Oxygen on backbone 2. Unimpeded Nucleotide base on the Template Strand 3. Correct NTP (based on 2) 4. Energy requirement is met by NTP ® NMP + DP Direction: Replication goes in the 5’ to 3’ direction -- called 3’ Elongation. Proofreading DNA Polymerases can have exonuclease activity. Some can backup and redo incorrect base matches. Some are specialized to look for errors. DNA Replication Details for E. coli 1. Unwinding the DNA double helix -- Unwinding Proteins (DNA helicase); Helix Destabilizing Proteins (HDP); DNA Gyrase (DNA topoisomerase). 2. Replication Bubble. Replication takes place in replication forks on either side of the Bubble. Some replication is unidirectional (such as with Conjugation). DNA Replication Details for E. coli (cont.) 3. Replication Fork 1. DNA Polymerase I, II, III DNA Polymerase I -- Error Correcting DNA Polymerase II -- Unknown Function DNA Polymerase III -- Main Replication Enzyme 2. Synthesis of the new chromosome is bidirectional. a. Leading Strand -- 5’ to 3’ b. Lagging Strand -- 5’ to 3’ in sections (Okazaki Fragments). i) RNA Primase initiates the primer. ii) DNA Polymerase III attaches to primers and synthesizes DNA. iii) Synthesis continues through the RNA primers of the next fragment (DNA Polymerase I). iv) DNA ligase attaches the backbones of the separate fragments. DNA Replication Relationship Between Leading & Lagging Strands Polymerases form a dimer. Lagging strand loops around polymerase core units Leading and Lagging Strands are replicated together (different polymerases, but attached to each other)..

  • DNA REPLICATION Objectives: 1
    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.
