Nick Translation • Requires 5’-3’ activity of DNA pol I • Steps • At a nick (free 3’ OH) in the DNA the DNA pol I binds and digests nucleotides in a 5’-3’ direction • The DNA polymerase activity synthesizes a new DNA strand • A nick remains as the DNA pol I dissociates from the ds DNA. • The nick is closed via DNA ligase Source: Lehninger pg. 940

Here’s a computer modelof DNA replicationhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jtmOZaIvS0 This is a pretty good outline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teV62zrm2P0&NR=1 Another one with review questions (perhaps oversimplified) http://www.wiley.com/college/pratt/0471393878/student/animations/dna_replication/index.html
FIDELITY OF REPLICATION • Expect 1/103-4, get 1/108-10. • Factors • 3’5’ exonuclease activity in DNA pols • Use of “tagged” primers to initiate synthesis • Battery of repair enzymes • Cells maintain balanced levels of dNTPs
This article is a simple overview of repair processes • http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v421/n6921/full/nature01408.html
DNA repair Ilkka Koskela Katri Vilkman
Foreword DNA • variation is an essential factor to evolution (1000-10^6 lesions per day) • stability is important for the individual (less than 1/1000 mutations are permanent) • A relatively large amount of genes are devoted to coding DNA repair functions.
Sources of damage: heat metabolic accidents (free radicals) radiation (UV, X-Ray) exposure to substances (especially aromatic compounds) Types of damage: deamination of nucleotides depurination of nucleotides oxidation of bases breaks in DNA strands
Diseases • colon cancer • cellular ultraviolet sensitivity • Werner syndrome (premature aging, retarded growth) • Bloom syndrome (sunlight hypersensitivity)
Damage of the double helix • Single strand damage • information is still backed up in the other strand • Double strand damage • no backup • can cause the chromosome to break up
Single strand repair • Base excision repair • A base-specific DNA glycosylase detects an altered base and removes it • AP endonuclease and phosphodiesterase remove sugar phosphate • DNA Polymerase fills and DNA ligase seals the nick
Single strand repair • Nucleotide excision repair • a large multienzyme compound scans the DNA strand for anomalities • upon detection a nuclease cuts the strand on both sides of the damage • DNA helicase removes the oligonucleotide • the gap is repaired by DNA polymerase and DNA ligase enzymes
Double strand repair • Nonhomologous end-joining • only in emergency situations • two broken ends of DNA are joined together • a couple of nucleotides are cut from both of the strands • ligase joins the strands together
Double strand repair • Homologous end-joining • damaged site is copied from the other chromosome by special recombination proteins
DNA repair enzymes • a lot of DNA damage -> elevated levels of repair enzymes • extreme change in cell's environment (heat, UV, radiation) activates genes that code DNA repair enzymes • For an example, heat-shock proteins are produced in heat-shock response when being subjected to high temperatures.
Cell Cycle and DNA repair • Cell cycle is delayed if there is a lot of DNA damage. • Repairing DNA as well as signals sent by damaged DNA delays progression of cell cycle. ->ensures that DNA damages are repaired before the cell divides
