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
which topoisomerases use ATP
II and IV
4 enzymes used in the ELONGATION (stage of dna replication)
- primase
- dna polymerase III
- dna polymerase I
- ligase
3 functions about PRIMASE
- lay down RNA PRIMERS
- reads 3’->5’
- synthesize 5’ ->3’
direction of LEADING STRAND
3’->5’
direction of LAGGING STRAND
5’ -> 3’
5 things about DNA POLYMERASE III
- needs 3’ oh of RNA PRIMER
- READ 3’-> 5’
- synthesize 5’-> 3’
- has PROOF READING FUNCTION
- EXONUCLEASE ACTIVITY (for complementary base nucleotide)
2 things about OKAZAKY FRAGMENTS
- multiple RNA primers
2.multiple DNA primers
4 things about DNA polymerases I
- READ 3’-> 5’
- synthesize 5’-> 3’
- PROOF READING FUNCTION
- EXONUCLEASE ACTIVITY (for RNA primers)
differance between DNA POLY 3 and 1
Direction of EXONUCLEASE ACTIVITY
POLY 3= 3’-> 5’
POLY 1= 5’-> 3’
function of lygase
fuse DNA end together of OKAZAKY FRAGMENTS
2 things about TELOMERES
- = ends of cromosomes
- do not code for DNA
why dna become shorther during a lot of replication
because telomeres (ends of cromoses ) do not code for RNA so they sacrificare themself4
