Q

4 CHARACTERISTICS of DNA REPLICATION

A
  1. Semiconservative (uses old DNA strand as template for synthesis of new strand)
  2. Semi-discontinuous (involves both continuous (leading strand) and discontinuous (lagging strand) synthesis)
  3. Unidirectional synthesis (5’ to 3’ synthesis w/ respect to NEW STRAND)
  4. Bidirectional progress (lagging and leading strand is simultaneously synthesized)

+ location of binding (first 3 proteins)
+ function (1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 1 ; 1)

A
  1. INITIATOR PROTEINS
    - binds near oriC (specifically at the A=T “bonding site”)
    - melts the double bond to partially open up the oriC
  2. Helicase
    - binds to ONE STRAND of DNA
    - further unwinds and opens the dsDNA
  3. Single-strand DNA-binding Proteins
    - binds to ONE STRAND of DNA
    - prevents reannealing
    - prevents formation of internal pairings between bases which may cause changes in overall DNA shape
    - prevents DNA degradation from nucleases
  4. Topoisomerase/Gyrase
    - relieve the torsional strain caused by helicase
  5. Primase
    - makes RNA primers to help the DNA Polymerase III to start synthesizing
