Replication - Part 2 Flashcards
- always at the same position on a DNA molecule
- “origin of replication”
initiation
origin of replication in prokaryotes, viruses
oriC
how many origin of replications are there in prokaryotes and viruses
single origin
how many origin of replications are there in eukaryotes
multiple
no. of replication origin in yeast
300 origins
no. of replication origin in humans
20,000 origins
- segment of DNA that replicates from a single origin of replication
- genome is divided into
replicons
origin of replication in E.coli
oriC
no. of base pairs in oriC
~245 bp
two parts of the oriC
- 13-nuc repeat motif
- 9-nuc repeat motif
- repeated 3x
- consensus seq: 5’GATCTNTTNTTTT3’
13-nuc repeat motif
how many times is the 13-nuc repeat motif repeated
3
- repeated 5x
- consensus seq: (di ma type kapoi)
9-nuc repeat motif
how many times is the 9-nuc repeat motif repeated
5
what is formed in the 13 nucleotide repeat motif once dnaA is present
melted region
binds to 9-nuc repeat of oriC
DnaA
what does the dnaA do
tortional stress on DNA
what happens at 13-nuc repeat of oriC
melting of helix
attaches to the melted region
dnaBC
later detaches
dnaC
what is formed after dnaC detaches
pre-priming complex
what does dnaB do
unwinds more DNA
releases tension during the unwinding of dnaB
DNA topoisomerase
attaches to ssDNA
SSB
primase that attaches to DNA
DnaG
initial assembly of the complex that initiates primer synthesis
primosome
dimer that binds after RNA primer is synthesized
DNA pol III
enhances binding of DNA pol III
sliding clamp
large protein complex that carries out DNA replication, starting at the replication origin
replisome
Detaches SSB once DNA pol III arrrives to copy template
replication mediator protein (RMP)
