Presentation transcript:

The Mechanism of DNA Replication Many proteins assist in DNA replication DNA helicases unwind the double helix, the template strands are stabilized by other proteins Single-stranded DNA binding proteins make the template available RNA primase catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA primers, to which nucleotides are added. DNA polymerase III extends the strand in the 5’-to-3’ direction DNA polymerase I degrades the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA DNA ligase joins the DNA fragments into a continuous daughter strand

Enzymes in DNA replication Primase adds short primer to template strand Helicase unwinds parental double helix Binding proteins stabilize separate strands DNA polymerase III binds nucleotides to form new strands DNA polymerase I (Exonuclease) removes RNA primer and inserts the correct bases Ligase joins Okazaki fragments and seals other nicks in sugar-phosphate backbone

Replication Primase protein makes a short segment of RNA complementary to the DNA, a primer. 5’ 3’ Binding proteins prevent single strands from rewinding. 3’ 5’ Helicase protein binds to DNA sequences called origins and unwinds DNA strands.

Proofreading DNA must be faithfully replicated…but mistakes occur DNA polymerase (DNA pol) inserts the wrong nucleotide base in 1/10,000 bases DNA pol has a proofreading capability and can correct errors Mismatch repair: ‘wrong’ inserted base can be removed Excision repair: DNA may be damaged by chemicals, radiation, etc. Mechanism to cut out and replace with correct bases

Mutations A mismatching of base pairs, can occur at a rate of 1 per 10,000 bases. DNA polymerase proofreads and repairs accidental mismatched pairs. Chances of a mutation occurring at any one gene is over 1 in 100,000 Because the human genome is so large, even at this rate, mutations add up. Each of us probably inherited 3-4 mutations!

Proofreading and Repairing DNA DNA polymerases proofread newly made DNA, replacing any incorrect nucleotides In mismatch repair of DNA, repair enzymes correct errors in base pairing In nucleotide excision DNA repair nucleases cut out and replace damaged stretches of DNA Nuclease DNA polymerase ligase A thymine dimer distorts the DNA molecule. 1 A nuclease enzyme cuts the damaged DNA strand at two points and the damaged section is removed. 2 Repair synthesis by a DNA polymerase fills in the missing nucleotides. 3 DNA ligase seals the Free end of the new DNA To the old DNA, making the strand complete. 4

Accuracy of DNA Replication The chromosome of E. coli bacteria contains about 5 million bases pairs Capable of copying this DNA in less than an hour The 46 chromosomes of a human cell contain about 6 BILLION base pairs of DNA!! Printed one letter (A,C,T,G) at a time…would fill up over 900 volumes of Campbell. Takes a cell a few hours to copy this DNA With amazing accuracy – an average of 1 per billion nucleotides
