Today you will… Explain the process of DNA replication. Identify the specific roles of the enzymes and proteins involved in DNA replication.
3
OUR DNA How many Chromosomes? 6 billion base pairs 12 pt single spaced font-> 1200 books How long to copy all DNA in 1 cell?
4
Enter question text... In which phase of the cell cycle is dna replicated? 1.G1 2.S 3.G2 4.M Phase
5
Meselson & Stahl

DNA Replication Overview Overview: 1.DNA strands separate. 2.Complimentary base pairing (A-T and G-C). 3.THREE STEPS 1.Initiation 2.Elongation 3.termination 4.Tons of enzymes involoved. An entire “team” of enzymes and proteins are responsible for each stage of replication.
7
Step 1: Initiation Origins of Replication (ori) – specific sequence of nucleotides along DNA where replication begins –Replication proceeds in BOTH directions of the replication bubble –Replication fork: Y-shaped area of bubble where DNA elongates
8
Enzymes Helicase SSB’s Topiosomerase TOPOISMOERASE
9
DNA directionality Review
10
Identify the 3’ carbon on the nucleotide. D CB A E 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.E
11
What would the complementary DNA strand be for the following sequence? 5’-CGTATG-3’ 1.5’GCATAC-3’ 2.5’GCAUAC-3’ 3.3’GCATAC-5’ 4.3’GCAUAC-5’
12
Stage 2: Elongation ADD new NT’s DNA Polymerase III – adds new NT’s to the growing end of the new DNA strand –Only added to 3’ side
13
Priming of DNA for synthesis Primase enzyme: attaches to parent strand and makes/lays down primers…Primase enzyme: attaches to parent strand and makes/lays down primers… PRIMERSPRIMERS = short segment of RNA nucleotides used to begin the replication Primer formation MUST PRECEDE DNA replication
14
It takes energy… Nucleotide added as Triphosphate…to provide energy Each equipped with energy! Polymerase
15
Addition of nucleotides
16
Question This cleaving is… Hydrolysis or Dehydration Synthesis Endergonic vs Exergonic
17
Replication Video
18
Leading vs lagging strand
19
New strands are synthesized differently Leading StrandLeading Strand: 3’-5’ template/parent –5’-3’ new strand/daughter –Continuous DNA synthesis towards Y of replication fork Lagging StrandLagging Strand: –5’-3’ template/parent –5’-3’ in fragments –Discontinuous synthesis away from opening replication fork
20
Replication of the LEADING strand 1.Primase 1.Primase adds an RNA primer DNAPolymerase III 2. DNA Polymerase III adds NT’s in the daughter 5’ to 3’ direction continuous 3.Elongation is continuous towards the opening replication fork
21
Replication of the LAGGING strand Same as leading except…Same as leading except… discontinuous Okazaki fragmentsReplication is discontinuous, through multiple segments (Okazaki fragments) Proceeds away from the direction of opening of the replication fork DNA ligaseDNA ligase bonds Okazaki fragments
22
All according to FORK
23
Stage 3: Termination When Replication Fork encounters neighboring ORI Real Time Video Real Time Video
24
DNA polymerases DNA polymerase III –1000 bases/second! –main DNA builder DNA polymerase I –20 bases/second –editing, repair & primer removal Arthur Kornberg 1959 Roger Kornberg 2006
25
Editing & proofreading DNA 1000 bases/second = lots of typos! DNA polymerase I (Nuclease Activity) –proofreads & corrects typos –repairs mismatched bases –removes abnormal bases –reduces error rate from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100 million bases
26
1 2 3 4 What does it really look like?
27
telomeres Repeated base pairs TTAGGG repeated 100-1000x to make strands equal Non-coding Postpones DNA erosion at end
28
The scientist(s) whose experiment confirmed semiconservative replication. 1.Hershey & Chase 2.Meselson & Stahl 3.Avery, McCarty, & MacLeod 4.Watson & Crick 5.Griffith
29
The enzyme whose function is to separate the two strands of DNA prior to replication. 1.DNA ligase 2.Primase 3.Topoisomerase 4.Helicase 5.DNA Polymerase
30
The enzyme whose function copy the template DNA strand one nucleotide at a time. 1.DNA ligase 2.Primase 3.Topoisomerase 4.Helicase 5.DNA Polymerase
31
The enzyme whose function is to form phosphodiester linkages between okazaki fragments. 1.DNA ligase 2.Primase 3.Topoisomerase 4.Helicase 5.DNA Polymerase
32
The enzyme whose function is to correct the “overwinding” that occurs ahead of the replication fork. 1.DNA ligase 2.Primase 3.Topoisomerase 4.Helicase 5.DNA Polymerase
