Lecture 13: DNA Replication Flashcards
Binds to the origin and pulls strands apart
origin binding protein
Moves down the template 5’-3’ direction and uses ATP to break H bonds
Helicase
Makes the RNA primer (makes phosphodiester bonds)
Primase
keeps the template strands apart
single strand binding protein
extends RNA primer
DNA Pol III
removes and replaces RNA primer
DNA Pol I
Connects Okazaki fragments
ligase
What are the steps of DNA replication?
- Yank DNA apart and lay down RNA primer
- Add DNA nucleotides by DNA Pol III
- Remove RNA primer
- Ligate Okazaki fragments
Bi-directional DNA replication with 2 replication forks
Replication on circular prokaryotic chromosomes
In replication, in circular prokaryotes, the _______ strand is going toward the origin
lagging
In replication, in circular prokaryotes, the _______ strand is going away from the origin
leading
What direction does helicase move on the template or parental strand?
5’-3’ direction
What is the energy source it uses to break H bonds?
ATP
What bond does SSB keep from reforming?
H Bonds
Where does helicase get its energy to perform its main function?
ATP
