Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA polymerase summary DNA replication is semi-conservative. DNA polymerase enzymes are specialized for different functions. DNA pol I has 3 activities: polymerase, 3’-->5’ exonuclease & 5’-->3’ exonuclease. DNA polymerase structures are conserved. But: Pol can’t start and only synthesizes DNA 5’-->3’! Editing (proofreading) by 3’-->5’ exo reduces errors. High fidelity is due to the race between addition and editing. Mismatches disfavor addition by DNA pol I at 5 successive positions. The error rate is ~1/109.

  10. DNA synthesis is primed by a short RNA segment No single stranded template The ss template is unstable No primer No 3’-->5’ polymerase. Too slow in vitro. Primase: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase Primase makes about 10-base RNA. The product is a RNA/DNA hybrid. RNA primer has a free 3’OH. Start preference for CTG on template Uses ATP, which ends up across from T in the RNA/DNA hybrid.

  20. Synthesis of Okazaki fragments by pol III holoenzyme When pol III reaches the primer of the previous Okazaki fragment, clamp loader removes 2 from the DNA template. As a result, the pol III on the lagging strand falls off the template. Clamp loader places 2 on the next primer-template.
