How do we even know it is the heritable material

passed through generations?

• Multiple binding sites at OriC

• Recruitment of DnaAcreates torsional strain at adjacent AT-rich motifs

• Denaturation allows for DnaC (helicase loader/inhibitor) to deliver DnaB (helicase)

• Helicase expands the replication bubble and DnaG (primase) allows for fork establishment

E. coli OriRecap

What would happen if the ori picked up a mutation?

Side Note Plasmid Oris

S The particular ori found in a plasmid dictates the copy-number

S Early generation plasmids contained an ori that gave low copy-numbers per cell

S Contemporary plasmids contain a high copy-number ori that maintains plasmids at 25-50 per cell… why not go higher?

Eukaryotic oris are found in clusters, ranging from 10-300 kb

apart

Different oris are utilized at different periods of the S phase

Euchromatin oris are activated earlier than heterochromatin, as shown by

examining replication of X chromosomes and comparing the

timing of replication for housekeeping vs. less active genes

Now the DNA template strand is available for

complementary synthesis…

How does DNA pol know where to start synthesis?

Figure 5-11 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008) Direction of Synthesis

The leading strand only needs 1 primer for synthesis

The lagging strand requiresribonucleotide primers at intervals of 100-200nucleotides (eukaryotes)

Notice that it reads the template 3’- 5’… but it synthesizes the nascent strand 5’- 3’

Why is a RNA primer used for DNA replication?

Page 33: CMB 621 – Fall 2018 DNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and ...lesaux/621/ewExternalFiles/AL Lecture 1.pdfDNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and Recombination Axel Lehrer Assistant

Besides providing evidence for RNA-based early life

de novo (new) synthesis can be error-prone, therefore it is better to come back later, remove the primer, and

insert correct DNA bases

Primers are marked as “suspect”

Page 34: CMB 621 – Fall 2018 DNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and ...lesaux/621/ewExternalFiles/AL Lecture 1.pdfDNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and Recombination Axel Lehrer Assistant

If the cell used DNA primers, there is a greater chance of permanent

incorporation of the errors

By using RNA primers, these mutational hotspots will be

subsequently removed

DNA (and RNA) is always synthesized in the 5’- 3� direction

•Deoxy(ribo)nucleoside triphosphates are the building blocks

•Hydrolysis of the phosphoanhydride bond releases part of the energy for the synthesis

•The additional energy comes from the breakdown of the resulting pyrophosphate

Note which phosphate group is incorporated?

Minimal Rates:

Prokaryotic synthesis proceeds at 500-1000 bases per second

Eukaryotic synthesis proceeds at ~50 bases per second

in vitro Taq synthesizes at 10- 45 bases per second

Figure 6-12 Essential Cell Biology (© Garland Science 2010)

One strand (leading) is made continuously and the other (lagging) is made discontinuously…

Therefore replication is considered semi-discontinuous

Prokaryotic Okazaki = 1 - 2 kbEukaryotic Okazaki = 0.1 - 0.2 kb

Notice that a bubble consists of forks that are inverted mirror images of each other

Page 47: CMB 621 – Fall 2018 DNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and ...lesaux/621/ewExternalFiles/AL Lecture 1.pdfDNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and Recombination Axel Lehrer Assistant

At the replication fork the two newly synthesized strands are of opposite polarity…this clearly leads to logistical problems here since synthesis

only proceeds in one direction

The Replication Fork Is Asymmetrical

No problem here though

Questions?

Where are we?

Page 54: CMB 621 – Fall 2018 DNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and ...lesaux/621/ewExternalFiles/AL Lecture 1.pdfDNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and Recombination Axel Lehrer Assistant

DNA polymerase doesn’t start DNA synthesis de novo.

The primer is RNA (about ~11 nucleotides in eukaryotes or ~5 nucleotides in prokaryotes)

The primer is made by Primase, an RNApolymerase

The primer then has to be removed: Pol I has 5�- 3� exonuclease activity with which it cuts out the primer – as it does that it fills in the gap with DNA

In eukaryotes, FEN1 removes the primer and new DNA is laid down by Pol d (it created a flap for FEN1)

DNA ligase then repairs the gap

Pol III falls off and replaced by Pol I

Pol I removes RNA primer and replaces it with DNA

Primer Removal

There are going to be mistakes, (mutations if they are not corrected)

Mistakes are corrected by the 3’- 5�proofreading exonuclease activity of the polymerase (pol III, e and d)

Initially, the mutation rate approaches 1 per 107 nucleotide pairs

But the actual mutation rate approaches 1 per 109 nucleotide pairs -- other repair mechanisms (DNA mismatch repair) keep the mutation rate down.

A Rookie Mistake

• Some E. coli lab strains have DAM or DCM

• Therefore the extracted DNA is methylated

• Unfortunately some restriction enzymes cannot bind at methylated restriction motifs

• Therefore you think you are digesting DNA… but are not

Moment of Reflection

Now you can see whyG1 is so essential?

-ATP-DNA pols-initiating, elongating, and supporting enzymes/ proteins-deoxy(ribo)nucleoside triphosphates

As you have seen previously, histones must also be addressed

during replication

Histone expression occurs in S phase

Histone mRNA created in other cell cycle phases is rapidly degraded

Once made, histone proteins are stable

Chromatin-remodeling proteins help facilitate replication through intact nucleosomes

Chromatin assembly factors (CAF1)associate with forks and load histones, both recycled and newly synthesized

New histones are initially acetylated (relaxed), but will be properly deacetylated(clamping) rapidly

Not Fully Elucidated…

• How histones are destabilized

• How histones are recycled and loaded

• How histones maintain epigenetic markers such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination…

• CAFs are associated with PCNA, therefore they are localized at the replisome, and nucleosome formation occurs just after replication

Concerning DNA replication

Can you think of any real-world applications?

Applications Involving Replication

S PCR and its descendants – amplification…

S Probe creation – arrays/chips, F.I.S.H.

S Cloning – blunting, Gibson Assembly

S Mutant generation – loss/gain/change of fxn

S Sequencing – traditional and next gen.

S Cancer & Antivirals - nucleoside analogs

A curious question:

How could you create a new DNA pol that has

improved processivity and fidelity?

Note that you would need to use a faulty DNA pol in order to create an alteredtarget sequence

This same method was used to create some GFP color variants

Page 86: CMB 621 – Fall 2018 DNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and ...lesaux/621/ewExternalFiles/AL Lecture 1.pdfDNA Replication – Part 1 Repair and Recombination Axel Lehrer Assistant

GFP variants exist for different colors

This agar plate was inoculated with 8 different strains of bacteria, each expressinga different GFP protein variant
