• Semiconservative Replication

|
• Prokaryotic DNA Replication
|
(All-or-Nothing)
|
|
What are the steps of DNA replication?
|
1) Identify the sequence of origin (start replication)
2) Separate (helicase) and unwind (topoisomerase) DNA strands 3) Keep strands apart with single-strand binding proteins (SSBs) 4) Make a RNA primer (primase) 5) Create the new DNA strand (DNA polymerase) 6) Remove primer and fill gap with deoxyribonucleotides 7) Bind any holes/nicks in phosphate backbone (ligase) |

|
|

|
bind
|
|
o Sliding Clamp (PCNA)
|
wraps around DNA and travels along strand with DNA Polymerase, increasing processivity.
|
|
o Primase and Pol alpha
|
add 10 nucleotide RNA primer and 20 nucleotide dNTPs
Primer removed by flag endonuclease 1 (FEN1) and RNase H. |
|
o Pol Epsilon

|
|
o Ligase joins
|
phosphate backbone
|
|
Replication of Telemeres: Problem on lagging strand, resulting in
|
a shorter strand.
|
|

|
Chemicals, UV/Radiation, Other Forms
|
|
o Deamination
|
- spontaneously removal of amine group from cytosine, converting it to uracil.
|
|
Adenine converts to
|
hypoxanthine
|
|
Guanine converts to
|
xanthine
|
|
Thymine has
|
no deamination
|
|
o Depurination
|
Cleavage of glycoyl bond between purine and the deoxyribose
(i.e.- the strand that contains the purine has a deletion introduced upon replication, while the other strand remains normal when replicated) |
|
• UV/Radiation
|
o Thymine dimers (cyclobutane ring)- causes abnormal indentation in the structure
o Benzo[a]pyrene- Compound found in cigarette smoke, which distorts DNA helix and allows dimers to form between bases. |

o Oxidation of DNA bases and Alkylation |
adding methyl and alkyl group
|
|
• Base Excision Repair

• Homologous Recombination
|
repairs double-strand breaks
o Nuclease generates single-stranded ends, pairs with complementary DNA strand as the invading strand, forming a branch point and elongating by DNA polymerase |

|
we have so much non-coding DNA.
