VIII. DNA Function: Replication
2
A. Recap - occurs in the S-phase of Interphase - unreplicated chromosomes, each consisting of a complementary double- helix, is REPLICATED: produce a chromosomes with 2 identical chromatids. - Once DNA replication has occurred, cells will proceed to division.

VIII.DNA Function: Replication A. Recap B. Hypotheses C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958)
14
- They grew E. coli for many generations on an agar where the available Nitrogen was a heavy isotope. The heavy nitrogen was incorporated into NEW DNA that is synthesized by the cell.

C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - They grew E. coli for many generations on an agar where the available Nitrogen was a heavy isotope. The heavy nitrogen was incorporated into NEW DNA that is synthesized by the cell. When the DNA is spun in a centrifuge, it spins down ‘far’
16
C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - Then, grew bacteria on an N15 medium for 1 generation and took samples. What banding pattern would you expect to see under each of the three hypotheses?

Predictions of 2 models?

D. Replication at the Molecular Level
21
1. Replication in E. coli a. A specific sequence of bases is recognized as the binding site for the replication complex – this is called the Replication Origin, and the DNA replicated from this site is called a replicon.

D. Replication at the Molecular Level 1. Replication in E. coli a. A specific sequence of bases is recognized as the binding site for the replication complex – this is called the Replication Origin, and the DNA replicated from this site is called a replicon. - Bacteria have only a single replication origin, and the entire circular chromosome is replicated from this point.
23
1. Replication in E. coli a. Replication Origin has 9-mers and 13- mers – homologous sequences… b. Three enzymes (DNaA,B, C), collectively called “helicases” bind to the origin and break the hydrogen bonds holding the helices together. “Single-strand binding proteins” stabilize the DNA.

The enzyme gyrase works downstream, cutting single or double strands to relieved the torque on the molecule. (topoisomerases affect shape).
