DNA replication and repair -- Lecture 6 Flashcards
direction of DNA replication:
5’ –> 3’
DNA Pol III needs a ___ to attach a new nucleotide to
3’-OH
___ needs a 3’-OH to attach a new nucleotide to a new strand of DNA
DNA Pol III
is DNA Pol III able to add the first nucleotide in DNA replication?
NO
what begins the DNA replication?
primase
primase (what is it and what it does)
doesn’t have limitation that DNA Pol III has
a type of RNA polymerase
begins the DNA replication process
DNA replication:
new RNA nucleotides are added to leading strand ___ by primase
faster
DNA replication:
new RNA nucleotides are added to lagging strand ___ by primase
slower
how to remove the RNA?
DNA polymerase I removes and replaces the RNA nucleotides w/ DNA nucleotides
removal of RNA:
___ removes and replaces RNA nucleotides w/ DNA nucleotides
DNA polymerase I
DNA polymerase I ___ the RNA nucleotides w/ DNA nucleotides
removes and replaces
DNA Polymerase I removes and replaces the ___ w/ ___
RNA nucleotides w/ DNA nucleotides
RNA removal and nick repair:
“nicks”
missing phosphodiester bonds
RNA removal and nick repair:
missing phosphodiester bonds
nicks
RNA removal and nick repair:
DNA Pol I (does what)
1) removes the RNA nucleotides
2) replaces them w/ DNA nucleotides
3) can’t form the last phosphodiester bond, leaving a ‘nick’ in the DNA backbone
RNA removal and nick repair:
DNA Ligase (does what)
1) enzyme that restores the missing phosphodiester bonds that DNA Pol I leaves behind –> “nick repair”
RNA removal and nick repair:
Okazaki fragments
fragments of the duplications in the lagging strand that are being converted from RNA to DNA
