DNA replication prokaryotes review Flashcards
oriC
site where DNA replication begins
DnaA
opens DNA to allow dnaB to bind
DnaB
helicase, uses ATP
DnaC
loads DnaB (helicase)
DNA primase
RNA polymerase that adds DNA primer
DNA pol III
main pol in prokaryotes, adds 5-3, proofreads 3-5
core: alpha, epison, theta
sliding clamp
positions pol III on DNA, beta
clamp loader
loads sliding clamp, gamma
DNA gyrase
=topoisomerase II
negative supercoils
uses ATP
RNase H
removes RNA primer
DNA pol I
5-3 exonuclease activity, replaces RNA primer spot with DNA
DNA ligase
seals nick between nucleotides (ATP)
Tus
binds termination sequence, prohibits helices from advancing
core enzyme subunits in pol III
alpha, epison, theta
tau subunit of pol III
dimerizes pol III complexes of leading and lagging strands
