1. Chapter 5 & 6 DNA & DNA Replication
2. History DNA
Comprised of genes
In non-dividing cell nucleus as chromatin
Protein/DNA complex
Chromosomes form during cell division
Duplicate to yield a full set in daughter cell
3. DNA is Genetic Material
4. From Chapter 2 Nucleic acids are polymers
Monomers are called nucleotides
Nucleotides = base + sugar + phosphate
Base = purine or pyrimidine
Purines = adenine, guanine
Pyrimidines = thymine, cytosine, uracil
Sugar = deoxyribose or ribose
Phosphate, a single phosphate in DNA
Sugar of nt 1 is linked to the phosphate of nt 2 by a phosphodiester bond
5. Panel 2-6
6. Chapter 2 contd
7. DNA is a Double Helix Nucleotides
A, G, T, C
Sugar and phosphate form the backbone
Bases lie between the backbone
Held together by H-bonds between the bases
A-T 2 H bonds
G-C 3 H bonds
8. H - Bonds Base-pairing rules
A?T only (A?U if DNA-RNA hybrid)
G?C only
DNA strand has directionality one end is different from the other end
2 strands are anti-parallel, run in opposite directions
Complementarity results
Important to replication
9. Helical Structure
10. Nucleotides as Language We must start to think of the nucleotides A, G, C and T as part of a special language the language of genes that we will see translated to the language of amino acids in proteins
11. Genes as Information Transfer A gene is the sequence of nucleotides within a portion of DNA that codes for a peptide or a functional RNA
Sum of all genes = genome
12. DNA Replication Semiconservative
Daughter DNA is a double helix with 1 parent strand and 1 new strand
Found that 1 strand serves as the template for new strand
13. DNA Template Each strand of the parent DNA is used as a template to make the new daughter strand
DNA replication makes 2 new complete double helices each with 1 old and 1 new strand
14. Replication Origin Site where replication begins
1 in E. coli
1,000s in human
Strands are separated to allow replication machinery contact with the DNA
Many A-T base pairs because easier to break 2 H-bonds that 3 H-bonds
Note anti-parallel chains
15. Replication Fork Bidirectional movement of the DNA replication machinery
16. DNA Polymerase An enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a nucleotide to the growing DNA chain
Nucleotide enters as a nucleotide tri-PO4
3OH of sugar attacks first phosphate of tri-PO4 bond on the 5 C of the new nucleotide
releasing pyrophosphate (PPi) + energy
17. DNA Polymerase Bidirectional synthesis of the DNA double helix
Corrects mistaken base pairings
Requires an established polymer (small RNA primer) before addition of more nucleotides
Other proteins and enzymes necessary
18. How is DNA Synthesized? Original theory
Begin adding nucleotides at origin
Add subsequent bases following pairing rules
Expect both strands to be synthesized simultaneously
This is NOT how it is accomplished
19. Why DNA Isnt Synthesized 3?5
20. How is DNA Synthesized? Actually how DNA is synthesized
Simple addition of nucleotides along one strand, as expected
Called the leading strand
DNA polymerase reads 3 ? 5 along the leading strand from the RNA primer
Synthesis proceeds 5 ? 3 with respect to the new daughter strand
Remember how the nucleotides are added!!!!! 5 ? 3
21. How is DNA Synthesized? Actually how DNA is synthesized
Other daughter strand is also synthesized 5?3 because that is only way that DNA can be assembled
However the template is also being read 5?3
Compensate for this by feeding the DNA strand through the polymerase, and primers and make many short segments that are later joined (ligated) together
Called the lagging strand
22. DNA Replication Fork Fig 6-12
23. Mistakes during Replication Base pairing rules must be maintained
Mistake = genome mutation, may have consequence on daughter cells
Only correct pairings fit in the polymerase active site
If wrong nucleotide is included
Polymerase uses its proofreading ability to cleave the phosphodiester bond of improper nucleotide
Activity 3 ? 5
And then adds correct nucleotide and proceeds down the chain again in the 5 ? 3 direction
24. Proofreading
25. Starting Synthesis DNA polymerase can only ADD nucleotides to a growing polymer
Another enzyme, primase, synthesizes a short RNA chain called a primer
DNA/RNA hybrid for this short stretch
Base pairing rules followed (BUT A-U)
Later removed, replaced by DNA and the backbone is sealed (ligated)
26. Primers contd Simple addition of primer along leading strand
RNA primer synthesized 5 ? 3, then polymerization with DNA
Many primers are needed along the lagging strand
1 primer per small fragment of new DNA made along the lagging strand
Called Okazaki fragments
27. Removal of Primers Other enzymes needed to excise (remove) the primers
Nuclease removes the RNA primer nucleotide by nucleotide
Repair polymerase replaces RNA with DNA
DNA ligase seals the sugar-phosphate backbone by creating phosphodiester bond
Requires Mg2+ and ATP
28. Other Necessary Proteins Helicase opens double helix and helps it uncoil
Single-strand binding proteins (SSBP) keep strands separated large amount of this protein required
Sliding clamp
Subunit of polymerase
Helps polymerase slide along strand
All are coordinated with one another to produce the growing DNA strand (protein machine)
29. Components of the DNA Replication
30. Polymerase & Proteins Coordinated One polymerase complex apparently synthesizes leading/lagging strands simultaneously
Even more complicated in eukaryotes
31. DNA Repair For the rare mutations occurring during replication that isnt caught by DNA polymerase proofreading
For mutations occurring with daily assault
If no repair
In germ (sex) cells ? inherited diseases
In somatic (regular) cells ? cancer
32. Effect of Mutation
33. Uncorrected Replication Errors Mismatch repair
Enzyme complex recognizes mistake and excises newly-synthesized strand and fills in the correct pairing
34. Mismatch Repair contd Eukaryotes label the daughter strand with nicks to recognize the new strand
Separates new from old
35. Depurination or Deamination Depurination removal of a purine base from the DNA strand
Deamination is the removal of an amine group on Cytosine to yield Uracil
Could lead to the insertion of Adenine rather than Guanosine on next round
36. Chemical Modifications
37. Thymine Dimers Caused by exposure to UV light
2 adjacent thymine residues become covalently linked
38. Repair Mechanisms Different enzymes recognize, excise different mistakes
DNA polymerase synthesizes proper strand
DNA ligase joins new fragment with the polymer
