DNA Replication Mechanism of DNA translocation in a replicative helicase http://library.tedankara.k12.tr/chemistry/vol1/biochem/trans98.jpg
Helicase Function • Unwind dsDNA to make ssDNA • DNA replication • Repair • Recombination http://library.tedankara.k12.tr/chemistry/vol1/biochem/trans98.jpg
Helicase Function • E1 & TAG (virus) • Recognize & melts origin to create ssDNA • Assemble on ssDNA • E1 3’-5’ to Unwind http://library.tedankara.k12.tr/chemistry/vol1/biochem/trans98.jpg
Crystal structure of hexameric helicase (E1 of bovine papilomavirus) • Shows the path of DNA • Indicates mechanism
Crystalization Conditions • Fragment BPV-1 E1 • Lacks N-term (306-577) • GST fusion • Concentrated with • 5 mM ADP • 200 mM MgCl2 • Oligo T (13 mer) • Mother liquor 100 mM KCl • Crystals • Flash frozen (N2 (lq)) • Synchotron Radiation • Molecular replacement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:X_ray_diffraction.png
