Q

Initiation of replication
(synthesis of leading strand)!

A

4 steps; Helicase opens double helix–stabilize single strands–topoisomerase–primase RNA primer
-Helix is opened, Helicase, an enzyme that opens double helix (bonds b/n DNA strands)
-Single Strand DNA-binding proteins (SSBPs) stabilize single strands
-Topoisomerase, relieves twisting forces, Helix is stabilized by single strand DNA-binding proteins
-Unwinding of helix creates tension, then cuts and rejoins DNA downstream of replication fork.
-DNA polymerase is primed
provides 3 hydroxyl (OH) group that can combine with a nucleotide.
Now ready to replicate

21
Q

deoxyribonucleotide

A

a nucleotide that contains deoxyribose.

22
Q

deoxyribomnucleoside triphosphates

A

monomers
high potential energy bc their three closely packed phosphate groups
they have enough poteinal energy to make formation of phosphoiester

23
Q

origin replication

A

When DNA is being synthesized it forms specific sequence..
-Bacteria have one and form one replication bubble
-Eukaryotic cells have many on each chromosome
(replication bubble!! its sequence inside )

24
Q

replication forks

A

Y shape where the parental DNA double helix is seperated
each replication bubble has…
TWO replication forks
because synthesis is bidirectional
replication bubbles grow in two directions (5—3)

25
Q

genome

A

bacterial cells copy their entire complement of DNA
-genetic material in organism, is made up of DNA
-entire set of DNA instructions found in a cell.

26
Q

intermediate density DNA

A

hybrid dna n ot jus N14 or N15
(low density- (14N)
high density- (15N)

27
Q

REPLISOME

A

contains enzymes responsible for carrying out replication of DNA (DNA synthesis around the replication fork)
Large Macromolecular machine.
composed of 2 DNA polymerase complexes synthesis the
(leading strand) with other (lagging strand)

28
Q

Leading strand (go back to initiation of replication)

A

strand of DNA being replicated continuously and continuously polymerized toward the replication fork !
5—3 prime continuously synthesizes in direction of the moving fork
*1) DNA is opened, unwound and primed)
2)synthesis of leading strand begins

29
Q

Lagging Strand

A

MOVES IN DIRECTION THAT RUNS AWAY FROM THE MOVING REPLICATION FORK
synthesized away from strand and lags behind the fork, slowing down the process. Okazaki Fragments are then linked into a continuous strand

30
Q

Okazaki Fragments

A

Short DNA fragments attached to RNA’s primersDNA polymerase I removes the RNA primers and replaces them with DNA
The enzyme DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments (15.10)

31
Q

DNA helicase

A

breaks hydrogen bonds between the two DNA strands to separate them

32
Q

Single-strand DNA-binding proteins (SSBPs)

A

attach to the separated strands to prevent them from closing

33
Q

Topoisomerase (unwinding DNA helix creates tension)

A

Topoisomerase cuts and rejoins the DNA to relieve this tension

34
Q

DNA polymerase has two parts:

A

A sliding clamp that forms a ring around the DNA
A part that grips the DNA strand

35
Q

primer

A

An RNA strand about a dozen nucleotides long
Forms complementary base-pairs with the DNA template strand
Provides a 3′ hydroxyl (OH) group that can combine with a dNTP to form a phosphodiester bond

36
Q

Primase

A

Primers are made by enzyme called (Primase)
A type of RNA polymerase
Does not require a free 3′ end to begin synthesis
(one type of RNA polymerase)

37
Q

RNA polymerase

A

enzymes that catalyze the polymerization of ribonucleotides into RNA
don’t require primer like DNA polymerase

38
Q

leading strand synthesis (vocab words)

A

-primase- catalyzes synthesis of RNA primer on an Okazaki fragment
-DNA polymerase III- Extends the leading strand
-Sliding clamp- holds DNA polymerase in place during strand extension.

39
Q

Lagging strand synthesis (vocab words)

A

Primase- catalyzes the synthesis of the RNA primer on an okazaki fragment
DNA polymerase III- Extends an okazaki fragment
Sliding clamp-holds DNA polymerase in place during strand extension.
DNA polymerase I- Removes the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA
DNA ligase- Catalyzes the joining of Okazaki fragments into a continuous strand.

40
Q

Telomeres

A

the end of eukaryotic chromosome can be problematic
(when the primer is lost it shortens chromosome bc cant be replaced with DNA), left as a single strand.
dosent contain genes, just stretches of bases

41
Q

Telomerase

A

catalyzes the synthesis of DNA and from an RNA template that it contains.
It fixes the “telomeres” it adds DNA to the end of a chromosome to prevent it from getting shorter. on lagging strand

42
Q

somatic cells

A

lack telomerase (chromosomes of somatic cells progressively shorten) occurs in diff ages.
ANY CELL NOT INVOLVED IN GAMETE FORMATION (TELOMERASE) Don”t produce gametes
# of cell division is limited by length of a cells telomere

43
Q

Proofreading DNA

A

If DNA polymerase adds a mismatched deoxyriboonucleotide such as ( C pairing with A) DNA polymerase can recognize and remove the mismatched deoxyribonucleotide and start over to add correct deoxyribonucelotide.

(accuracy for DNA synthesis)

44
Q

Mismatch repair

A

occurs when mismatched bases are corrected after DNA synthesis is done,DNA polymerase sometimes leaves a mismatched pair behind in a newly synthesized strand
once DNA synthesis moves beyon a mismatched base pair proofread is no longer possible so
Mismatch repair enzymes, Recognize the mismatched pair
Remove a section of the newly synthesized strand that contains the incorrect base
Fill in the correct bases

45
Q

Repairing Damaged DNA

A

DNA can be damaged by sunlight, X-rays, and many chemicals
Organisms have DNA damage-repair systems
For example, UV light and some chemicals can cause thymine dimers to form
These dimers produce a kink in the DNA strand
This blocks DNA replication

46
Q

UV light damages DNA

A

WHEN UV light is absorbed by a section if DNA that has adjacent thymines, the energy can lead to the formation of bonds between them. Thymine dimer that is produced causes Kink in the DNA Strand.

47
Q

nucleotide excision repair system

A

recognizes such types of damage
A protein complex recognizes the kink
Removes the damaged single-stranded DNA
Uses the intact strand as a template for new DNA
DNA ligase links the repaired strand to the original undamaged DNA

48
Q

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)

A

A rare autosomal recessive disease in humans
extremely sensitive to UV light
Increases chance of skin cancer by 1000−2000 times
XP is caused by mutations in nucleotide excision repair systems
The cells of people with XP cannot repair DNA damaged by ultraviolet radiation
Can result from mutations in any of eight genes

49
Q

Xeroderma Pigmentosum: A Case Study

A

If mutations in the genes involved go unrepaired
The cell may begin to grow in an uncontrolled manner
This growth can result in the formation of a tumor
If the overall mutation rate in a cell is elevated
Because of defects in DNA repair genes
Then the mutations that trigger cancer become more likely
