What Replication Proteins Do Flashcards
1
Q
ORC
DnaA
A

2
Q
Cdc45/Mcm 2-7/GINS Complex (CMG Complex)
DnaB
A
Helicase unwinds DNA
3
Q
Cdc6/cdt1
DnaC
A
Loads helicase
4
Q
RPA
SSB
A
Facilitates unwinding and protects ssDNA
5
Q
Topoisomerase 2
Gyrase
A
Relieves positive supercoils ahead of fork
6
Q
Primase
DnaG
A
Synthesizes RNA primers
7
Q
FEN1 & Pol alpha
Pol 1
A
FEN1 removes RNA primers
Pol alpha synthesizes short DNA as part of RNA-DNA
(Pol 1 for Pro does both)
