BMB 401 Lecture 35 Flashcards

Initiation

DNA A- opens strand at ori, binds ori c
unwinds DNA beginning at AT rich region
SSB binds
Recruits DNA B and DNA C complex
DNA C loads DNA B onto single strand
DNA B unwinds DNA & recruits G primase

Replication in Prokaryote requires

Helicase, DNA template, RNA Primers, DNA Pol lll, DNA Pol l, DNA Ligase

DNA Pol lll made up of

replisome, Beta 2 sliding clamp, alpha, epsilon, theta

2 Mg 2+ are necessary for ______ function

DNA Polymerase

Euk vs Pro origin of replication

euk= many origins of replication( origin of replication complex [ORC])
prok= single origin of rep

ORC similar to _____

DNA A, unwind DNA recruit other factors

Linking number (Lk)

number of times DNA winds in right handed helical direction when
constrained to a single plane

Topoisomerases
1&2

DNA molecules that differ in linking number, must be cut
top l: changes linking number by 1
top 2: changes linking number by 2

Writhe (Wr)

number of times double stranded helix crosses over itself

Twist (Tw)

number of times DNA twists around itself

Equation relating Tw, Wr, and Lk

Lk=Wr+Tw

DNA Pol l

Prok:
erases primer & fills in gaps on lagging strand

DNA Pol lll

Prok:
Primary enzyme of DNA synthesis

DNA Pol alpha
-primase subunit
-DNA Pol unit

EUK:
Initiator polymerase
-synth RNA primer
-add stretch of ~20 nucleotides to primer

DNA Pol E

EUK:
Primary enzyme of DNA synth leading strand

DNA POL Delta

EUK:Primary enzyme of DNA synth lagging strand
