Q

Meselson-Stahl Experiment

A

proved the semi-conservative model proposed by watson and crick

Bacteria are grown in Heavy N15, then are transfered to N14 media

when separeted in a density gradient, you should get a medium density band = hybrid band, and more and more light DNA (two bands one medium and one light band that gets thicker over time) after successive generations of growth in N14 media

conservative will only be heavy and light bands

dispervide is one medium band and progressinge gets lighter

Q

Tempates and Nontemplates for Polymarease activity

A

double stranded or single stranded only will not work

need primers, overhangs, hairpins with overhangs, or nicks

purpose = need 3’ free end to prime the replicaiton

Reason = 3’ hydroxyl end performs a nucleophillic attack on the phosphodiester bond (alpha phosphate) of the nucleotriphosphate at the growing end

magnesium is needed as a cofactor to draw the hydrogen away from the oxyygen to increase its nucleophilicity

Q

lagging vs leading strand

A

because DNA is anti-parallel
3’ to 5’
5’ to 3’

lagging goes away from replicaiton fork, needs to polyermize in many fragments

leadig strand moves towards the replicaiton fork

DNA is always synthesized in the 5’ to 3’ direction (need that hydroxyl group to act as a nucleophile)

Q

DNA polymerases travel together

*** be able to explain the diagram????

A

DNA flipped into a loop, both enzymes are joined together so both strands of DNA travel in the same direction even though there is a laggin strand

polymerase releases lagging strand when okazaki fragment encountered

DNA pol rebinds laggin strand template farther along

knowns as the DNA pol III holoenzyme

Q

Yeast replicon

A

ARS = autominous replicating sequence (kinda like Ori)

ORC = origin of replicaiton complex

MCM complex = helicase enzymes

cdc6 and cdt1 = kinases, are required

cdk and ddk are also kinases

need a phosphorylation event to initate replicaiton

ORC remains assocated with ARS and MCM move outwards b/c they are helicases and unwind the dna

MCM proteins displaced from dna, exported to the nucleus (or degraded)

MCM are known as licensing factors and are neede for replication.

need to get rid of theses becuase only want to replicate DNA once per division

17
Q

cell cycle phases

A 
G1= gap 1
S= synthesis
G2= gap 2
M= mitosis
18
Q

cell cycle regulation in yeast

A

cdc2 kinase is impornat to phosphorylate G1 cyclins
=> G1 to S

cdc2 to phosphorylated mitotic cyclins
=> G2 to M

19
Q

MCM proteins and replicative stress

A

siRNA used to deplete Mcm proteins in yeast

depletion of Mcm leads to reduced cell proliferation

increaseed chromosome instability with depleated Mcm3

instability enhanced by treatment with aphidicolin (inhibits DNA replication)

20
Q

5 euakryotic DNA polymareses

A

alpha associated with primase

beta DNA repair

gamma mt DNA

delta primary replication enzyme

epsilon repair

21
Q

Eukaryotic Replication fork

A

PCNA = sliding clamp

RFC = clamp loader

RPA = SSB proteins

22
Q

Nuclear Martix and DNA replication

A

DNA spooled through replicaiton complex

replication machinery is scaffolded to the nuclear matrix

23
Q

localization of DNA replication

A

the replication machinery is stationaty in the nuclear matrix

replicaiton forks localized within 50 to 250 sites, called replicaiton foci

the clustering of replication forks may provide a mechanism for coordinating the replciaiton of adjacent replicons on individual chromosomes

replication sites distributed through the matrix

DAPI (blue) labels double stranded DNA

alpha BrdU (green) incorperated into newly synthesized DNA

PCNA (beta clamp) distribution changes in progression through S phase

early S-phase replicaiton associated with lamins a and c

DNA replication assocated with lamins

when lamins dissasemble during DNA replication (because the nuclar matix dissolves) they serve as binding sites for replication machinery

24
Q

Lamins association

A

lamina associated domains (LADs) on chromosomes revealed using antibody technique

LAD-nuclear lamina (NL) contacts are established early in G1 phase

LADs on the distal 25 Mb of chromosomes contact NL first and then gradually detach

S-phase chromatin (replicating) shows transiently increasedlamin interactions

telomeres initally associated with the chromatin because as chromosomes are pulled to the metaphase plate they apperar to be closest to the nuclear lamina

25
Q

Distribution of histone core complexes

A

(h3h4)2 tetramers reamin intact

h2a/h2b dimers separate from each other

figure 13-4b ????????????

histone proteins are epigenetically modified= methylation

parental epigentic patterns need to be replicated

26
Q

Epigenetic state fo repliated chromatic

A

DNa methylation patterns maintained in newly synthesized DNA

histone modifications also maintains

patterns on old histones guide modification of new histones

examples
=> methylated h3k9 and acetylated h4k12 part of positive feedback loop

modifications copied to histones of adjacent nucleosome

27
Q

DNA repair pathways

A

nucleotide excision repair
=> transcription coupled pathway
=> global pathway

Base excision repair

mismatch repair

double stranded break repair
=> non-homologous end joining
=> homologous end joining

28
Q

Nucleotide escision repair

A

in response to pyrimidine [thymine] dimer

covalent linkage of thymine dimers induced by exposure to uv irradiation

“bulk adduct”

lesion signaled by stalled RNA pol and CSB protein TFHIIH (XPB and XPD components ) unwind DNA (helicase) Transcription-coupled pathway

XPC signals the global pathway

unwinidng of DNA by XPB and XPD proteins and helicase subunits TFIIH

nucleases cut on 5’ (XPF-ERCC1) and 3’ (XPG) sides

filling of gap by DNA pol delta/ epsilon

dan repair synthesis

ligation

29
Q

Xeroderma pigmentosum

A

deficient for repairign damage from uv light

nucleotide excision repair deficiency

related to cockayne syndrome

deficient for repair of transcriptionally active dna

30
Q

BAse excision repair

A

[deamination of cytosine can be induced by chemicals to make uracil]

uracil-dna glycosylase recognizes uracil

glycosylase cleaves base (glycosidic bond)

AP endonuclease cleaves dna backbone

phosphodiesterase activity of polymerase beta removes sugar phosphate from excised base

polymerase beta fills gap by inserting cytosine

linked with dna ligase

31
Q

Detecting damaged dna in base excision repair

A

dna glycosylase (hOGG1) inspects base paired to cytosine (all GC pairs)

base flipped out of dna duplex (orginized guanine)

base cleaved form sugar

guanine not recognized by active site (returned to dna)

32
Q

mismatch repair

A

recognizes distortion in geometry of base paired nuclotides

distinguishes between newly synthesized and parental strands

new strand is not yet methylated
parental strand is methylated
= DNA total is hemi-methylated

33
Q

Double strand breakage repair

non-homologous end joining

A

1) non-homologous end joining
=> ku recognizes break, recruites DNA-PKcs and DNA liase IV is recruited to join together
=> some DNA is needed to be lost through exonuclease activity
=> not perfect

time course of kI localization at sites of DSB formation (induced by laser microbeam)

Ku localised at damged site but only for time of damage repair

see video on nexus

34
Q

watch videos on nexus

A

do it

35
Q

Double strand breakage repair

homologous end joining

A

genetic recombination (occurs in meiosis), and most often occures when homologues are paired up in meiosis. Can happen at other times tho

use homogous chromosome as a template to repair and copy DNA

double strand break in one chromosome

widening of gap by exonuclease activity

single strand invades homologous chromosome (rad51 protein) and displaces strand

=> D-loop

100% see video on nexus

36
Q

replication and repair

sometimes dna is not repaired

A

DNA sometiem snot repaired before it is replicated

DNA pol stalls

recruties specilized polymerase
=> polymerases small tract of nucleotides (translesion synthesis)

example sPlymerase n (eta)
=> inserts two A nucleotides opposite thymine dimer

37
Q

Cancer, DAN repair and DNA replicaiton

A

DNA mutaiton can result in malignancies

colon cancer
=> 15% of cases linked to mutated genes for mismatch repair

replication errors common in repeated sequences

ex TGFbeta receptr

38
Q

Instability in TGF-beta1 receptor gene

A

vascular disease is believed to be the result of escessive wound healing resoponse to chronic injuries
=> hypertension, smoking

TGFbeta1 gene product controls regulatory sytesm that respond to cellular injury

damage to recepotor is associated with decreased antiproliferative effect

analysis of microstaellite instability in TFGbeta 1 receptor sgene in atherosclerotic tissue or cells cultured from plaque

mutation causes frame shift in gene that leads to the development of the plaque
