DNA Replication

C483 Spring 2013

1. Double stranded DNA that has been labeled with radioactive 14C is used as the template for replication. Replication is carried out in a medium containing only unlabeled nucleotides. After two rounds of replication, what percent of double stranded DNA molecules are radioactive? A) 25% B) 50% C) 75% D) 100% 

2. Which of these statements is false?A) The primosome is part of the replisomeB) DNA polymerase I is part of the replisomeC) DNA polymerase III is part of the primosomeD) The Klenow Fragment is part of DNA Polymerase I

3. Which of these statements is false?  DNA Polymerase III containsA) 5’3’ exonuclease activity for proofreadingB) 5’3’ polymerase activity of elongation of the DNA strand.C) Subunits to aid in processivity.D) Subunits that act as “sliding clamps.”

4. Because the replisome synthesizes both strands of DNA simultaneouslyA) Okazaki fragments are formed in the leading strand.B) The leading strand is synthesized 5’3’, but the lagging strand is synthesized 

3’5’C) The replisome needs to have primase activity to make RNA primers for the 

lagging strandD) Proofreading activity is required for the leading strand, but not the lagging 

strand.

5. Which of these activit(ies) is the last one in the process of lagging strand synthesis?A) LigaseB) PolymeraseC) 5’3’ exonucleaseD) primase

Semiconservative Replication

• Template

• Protein machinery

– DNA polymerase

• Three stages

– Initiation

– Elongation

– Termination

E. Coli chromosome

• Circular, double stranded

• Origin

• Replication forks

• Bidirectional

• Replisome

– DNA polymerase is essential part of the replisome

Bacterial DNA Polymerase II

• DNA Polymerase I and II involved in repair and polymerization of part of one strand

• DNA Polymerase III is major component of replisome

• Multi‐subunit, asymmetric dimer

• Many activities

Polymerase Activity

• dNTP is substrate

• Added to 3’ end of growing chain

– PRIMER is required 

• 5’  3’ growth

• Selectivity based on H‐bonding

– TEMPLATE is required

• Pyrophosphate generated

Processivity

• Replisome stays attached to replication fork

• Beta subunit is a sliding clamp

• Higher efficiency

• Few replisomesneeded

Polymerase III Proofreads

• Incorrect base pair every 105 bp

• Epsilon subunit is proofreader

• Unmatched base pairs have different conformation

• 3’5’ exonuclease activity

• 99% of errors corrected here

• 99% of remaining errors are repaired

Polymerase Synthesizes Both Strands Simultaneouly!

• Synthesis is 5’ 3’

• Leading Strand built on the 3’5’ template

• Lagging Strand built on the 5’3’ template

– Discontinuous

– Okazaki fragments

Primase

• RNA primer is needed for each polymerization

• RNA primer is made by primase enzyme

– Part of the primosomecomplex

• Primosome, along with DNA Polymerase III, is part of replisome

Closing the Nick

• Three actions needed

• Removal of RNA primer 

– DNA polymerase I

• Filling in the nick with DNA

– DNA polymerase I

• Forming bond between adjacent fragments

– DNA ligase

DNA Polymerase I

• Two activities similar to DNA polymerase III

– 5’3’ polymerase• Extend chain

– 3’5’ exonuclease• Proofreading

• Unique activity

– 5’3’ exonuclease• Removes RNA primer

Klenow Fragment

• DNA polymerase I was first discovered– Kornberg Nobel prize

• Can be cut into two pieces that retain activity

• Klenow fragment– Bigger piece with 5’3’ exonuclease removed

– “Usable” form of DNA polymerase III
