4. Assembling a Complementary Chain

5. DNA synthesis in bacteria involves Five Polymerases, as well as other enzymes
DNA polymerase 1 catalyzes DNA synthesis and requires a DNA template and all four dNTPs
DNA polymerase is a processive enzyme.

6. Replication From Multiple Origins

7. DNA Synthesis Begins at sites that act as replication origins
Proceeds from the origins as two replication forks moving in opposite directions

8. Enzymes of DNA Replication
Helicase unwinds the DNA (H-bond)
Topo-isomerase (gyrase) unwinds the DNA (공유결합)
Primase synthesizes RNA primer (starting point for nucleotide assembly by DNA polymerases)
DNA polymerases assemble nucleotides into a chain, remove primers, and fill resulting gaps
DNA ligase closes remaining single-chain nicks

9. Assembling Antiparallel Strands

10. Two Antiparallel Strands
As DNA helix unwinds, one template strand runs in a direction allowing new DNA strand to be made continuously in the direction of unwinding
Other template strand is copied in short lengths that run in the direction opposite to unwinding
Discontinuous replication produces short lengths, then linked into a continuous strand

Primer synthesis, removal, gap filling, and nick sealing occur primarily in the lagging strand. The drawings simplify the process. In reality, the enzymes assemble into a replication machine at the fork, replicating both strands from that position as the template strands fold and pass through it.

15. DNA gyrase, often referred to simply as gyrase, is an enzyme that unwinds DNA, so that it can duplicate. Many antibiotics work by attacking bacterial DNA gyrase.
DNA gyrase is a type II topoisomerase (EC ) that introduces negative supercoils (or relaxes positive supercoils) into DNA by looping the template so as to form a crossing, then cutting one of the double helices and passing the other through it before releasing the break, changing the linking number by two in each enzymatic step. This process occurs in prokaryotes (particularly in bacteria), whose single circular DNA is cut by DNA gyrase and the two ends are then twisted around each other to form supercoils.
The unique ability of gyrase to introduce negative supercoils into DNA is what allows bacterial DNA to have free negative supercoils. The ability of gyrase to relax positive supercoils comes into play during DNA replication. The right-handed nature of the DNA double helix causes positive supercoils to accumulate ahead of a translocating enzyme, in the case of DNA replication, a DNA polymerase. The ability of gyrase (and topoisomerase IV) to relax positive supercoils allows superhelical tension ahead of the polymerase to be released so that replication can continue.

16. Eukaryotic DNA Replication
Four DNA polymerases are involved in replication of DNA, and others are involved in repair processes.

17. Primers

18. Telomeres Ends of eukaryotic chromosomes
Short sequences repeated hundreds to thousands of times
Repeats protect against chromosome shortening during replication

19. Telomerase
Chromosome shortening is prevented in some cell types which have a telomerase enzyme (adds telomere repeats to chromosome ends)

20. Adding Telomere Repeats before replication

21. Proofreading and Error Correction Are an Integral Part of DNA Replication
All of the DNA polymerases have 3' to 5' exonuclease activity that allows proofreading.
10-3  10-6 (proofreading) 10-9 ~ (repair system)

22. Mechanisms That Correct Replication Errors
Proofreading depends on the ability of DNA polymerases to reverse and remove mismatched bases (deoxyribonuclease)
DNA polymerse = deoxyribonuclease
DNA repair system corrects errors that escape proofreading (after replication)

23. Proofreading (during replication)
If a replication error causes a base to be mispaired, DNA polymerase reverses and removes the most recently added base
The enzyme then resumes DNA synthesis in the forward direction

24. Proofreading Template strand DNA polymerase New strand1
Enzyme continues activity in the forward direction as DNA 3’ polymerase as long as the most recently added nucleotide is correctly paired.

nucleotide. 2

25. DNA Repair Mechanisms DNA polymerase enzymes
Recognize distorted regions caused by mispaired base pairs
Remove DNA section with mispaired base from the newly synthesized nucleotide chain
Resynthesize the section correctly, using original template chain as a guide

26. Mismatch Repair Template strand Base-pair mismatch New strand
Repair enzymes recognize a mispaired base and break one chain of the DNA at the arrows. 1
New strand
The enzymes remove several to many bases, including the mismatched base, leaving a gap in the DNA. 2
The gap is filled in by a DNA
polymerase using the intact
template strand as a guide. 3

27. DNA Organization in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
Histones pack eukaryotic DNA at successive levels of organization
Many nonhistone proteins have key roles in the regulation of gene expression
DNA is organized more simply in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes

28. Bacterial DNA Organized into loops through interaction with proteins
Proteins similar to eukaryotic nonhistones regulate gene activity in prokaryotes

29. The Bacterial Chromosome
Closed, circular molecule of DNA packed into nucleoid (핵양체) region of cell
Replication begins from a single origin, proceeds in both directions
Plasmids (in many bacteria) replicate independently of the host chromosome

30. Prokaryotic DNA Replication (no telomere)

31. Bacterial DNA Replication
DNA replication begins at the origin of replication and is bidirectional rather than unidirectional

32. Eukaryotic Chromosomes
Consist of DNA complexed with histone and nonhistone proteins
DNA wraps around a nucleosome (two molecules each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, H4)
Linker DNA connects adjacent nucleosomes
Binding of histone H1 causes nucleosomes to package into a coiled structure (solenoid)
Nonhistone proteins help control the expression of individual genes

33. Chromatin Distributed between:
Euchromatin (loosely packed region, genes active in RNA transcription)
Heterochromatin (densely packed masses, genes are inactive)
Folds and packs to form thick, rodlike chromosomes during nuclear division
