DNA replication Flashcards
prokaryotic initiator protein
DnaA
OriC
Single origin of replication in bacteria
Composition of sequence adjacent to OriC
AT rich. Base pairing is less stable than GC so DNA can open more easily to start the replication bubble.
DnaB
helicase in prokaryotes (DnaC helps)
DnaG
primase in prokaryotes
DNA polymerase I function
DNA polymerase I function
DNA polymerase III function
Replicative chain elongation
Exonuclease activity of DNA pol I
5’ to 3’ (unique to pol I) and 3’ to 5’
Which prokaryotic DNA polymerase has higher processivity?
DNA polymerase III
Beta subunit of DNA pol III
sliding clamp with low internal affinity for DNA. Responsible for high processivity of DNA pol III.
Gamma complex of DNA pol III
clamp loader
Core enzyme of DNA pol III
Theta, epsilon, and alpha subunits
𝛂 subunit of DNA pol III
polymerase
ε subunit of DNA pol III
proofreader with 3’ exonuclease ability
ter sites
Indicate termination region. Binding site for TUR protein
