REPLICATION OF DNA Flashcards
4 fundementals of DNA REPLICATION
1) allow CELL REPLICATION
2) SEMICONSERVATIVE
3) replication direction 5’->3’
4) BI-DIRECTIONAL
in 3’ of the DNA what group can i found
OH
in 5’ of the DNA what group can i found
PHOSPHATE GROUP
3 stages of dna replication
1) initiation
2) elongation
3) termination
4 enzymes of INITIATION (part of dna replication)
1) pre replication protein complex (PRPC)
2) single strand binding protein (SSBD)
3) helicase
4)topoisomerasi
2 actions of pre replication protein complex (PRPC)
- separate A-T bonds in the ORI (origin of replication)
- create REPLICATION BUBBLE
2 things about ORI
- rich area of A-T BONDS
- they are multiple in EUKARYOTIC
2 things about single strand binding protein
- prevents PARENTAL STRANDS REANNEALING (reconnection)
- protects from NUCLEASIS (they break phosfodiester bonds)
2 things about HELICASE
- separate the strands
- requires ATP
def SUPER COILS
DNA bunching up (si arriccia) because of the action of helicase
3 things about TOPOISOMERASES
- alleviate SUPER COILS
- 3 types (I, II, IV)
- has 2 arms (nuclease and ligase)
function of NUCLEASE
break phosphodiestere bonds
function of LIGASE in the TOPOISOMERASES
resteaches (rilega) parts of DNA after UNWIND the supercoils
2 topoisomerases used by eukaryotic cells
I and II
2 topoisomerases used by procariotic cells
II and IV
