78 14.13 Okazaki Fragments Are Linked by Ligase Each Okazaki fragment starts with a primer and stops before the next fragment. RNase H + DNA polymerase I removes the primer and replaces it with DNA. Lewin s Genes X, 2009.

79 14.13 Okazaki Fragments Are Linked by Ligase DNA ligase makes the bond that connects the 3 end of one Okazaki fragment to the 5 beginning of the next fragment. FIGURE 25: DNA ligase seals nicks between adjacent nucleotides by employing an enzyme-amp intermediate Lewin s Genes X, 2009.

80 E. coli DNA replication Summary DnaA melts oric and recruits DnaB helicase/dnac helicase loader. DnaB helicase recruits DnaG primase. Priming releases DnaC from prepriming complex. DnaB helicase keeps interacting with DnaG primase transiently throughout lagging-strand synthesis. DnaX clamp loader loads β 2 clamp on primer-template (via interactions with δ subunit). Pol III core (α subunit) interacts with β 2 clamp and primer-template.

81 E. coli DNA replication Summary Two (Three!) Pol III cores are kept together in the replisome through the τ subunits of the DnaX clamp loader. In the lagging strand, DnaX clamp loader is constantly loading β 2 clamps onto new primer-templates; it also promotes Pol III core hopping from the old Okazaki fragment to the new primer. The τ subunits of DnaX clamp loader are also important for interacting with DnaB helicase (τ is the guy!)

82 E. coli DNA replication Summary The χψ subunits of DnaX clamp loader (τ attaches them to the ring) interact with SSB transiently, which interact with DnaG primase transiently. RNase H, DNA pol I and DNA ligase are responsible for the maturation of the Okazaki fragments.

83 Eukaryotes FIGURE 13: The eukaryote cell cycle

84 11.7 Each Eukaryotic Chromosome Contains Many Replicons Eukaryotic replicons are 40 to 100 kb in length. Individual replicons are activated at characteristic times during S phase. Regional activation patterns suggest that replicons near one another are activated at the same time. FIGURE 14: A eukaryotic chromosome contains multiple origins of replication that ultimately merge during replication

86 11.8 Replication Origins Can Be Isolated in Yeast Origins in S. cerevisiae are short A-T sequences that have an essential 11 bp sequence. The ORC is a complex of six proteins that binds to an ARS. FIGURE 16: An ARS extends for ~50 bp and includes a consensus sequence (A) and additional elements (B1 B3)

90 11.9 Licensing Factor Controls Eukaryotic Rereplication Licensing factor is necessary for initiation of replication at each origin. Licensing factor is present in the nucleus prior to replication, but is removed, inactivated, or destroyed by replication.

91 11.9 Licensing Factor Controls Eukaryotic Rereplication Initiation of another replication cycle becomes possible only after licensing factor reenters the nucleus after mitosis. FIGURE 18: Licensing factor in the nucleus is inactivated after replication

92 The ORC is a protein complex that is associated with yeast origins throughout the cell cycle. Cdc6 protein is an unstable protein that is synthesized only in G1. MCM 7 MCM 2 MCM 3 MCM 7 MCM 2 MCM 3 ORC1 ORC2 ORC3 MCM 6 MCM 5 MCM 4 MCM 6 MCM 5 MCM 4 Cdt1 Cdc6 ORC6 ORC5 ORC4 Cdc6 binds to ORC and allows MCM proteins to bind. Cdt1 facilitates MCM loading on origins.

93 11.10 Licensing Factor Consists of MCM Proteins When replication is initiated, Cdc6, Cdt1, and MCM proteins are displaced. The degradation of Cdc6 prevents reinitiation. MCM 7 MCM 2 MCM 3 MCM 7 MCM 2 MCM 3 ORC1 ORC2 ORC3 MCM 6 MCM 5 MCM 4 MCM 6 MCM 5 MCM 4 Cdt1 Cdc6 ORC6 ORC5 ORC4

94 Some MCM proteins are in the nucleus throughout the cell cycle, but others may enter only after mitosis. FIGURE 19: Proteins at the origin control susceptibility to initiation

95 Regulation of Initiation of DNA Replication in Eukaryotes (yeast) ORC recognizes the origin Cdc6 is rapidly degraded Some MCM proteins are licensing factors (only enter the nucleus when the envelope is disrupted during mitosis)

105 12.2 The Ends of Linear DNA Are a Problem for Replication Special arrangements must be made to replicate the DNA strand with a 5 end. FIGURE 01: Replication could run off the 3 end of a newly synthesized linear strand, but could it initiate at a 5 end?

106 9.16 Telomeres Have Simple Repeating Sequences The telomere is required for the stability of the chromosome end. A telomere consists of a simple repeat where a C+A-rich strand has the sequence C >1 (A/T) 1 4. FIGURE 27: A typical telomere has a simple repeating structure with a G-Trich strand that extends beyond the C-A-rich strand

107 9.17 Telomeres Seal the Chromosome Ends and Function in Meiotic Chromosome Pairing The protein TRF2 catalyzes a reaction in which the 3 repeating unit of the G+T-rich strand forms a loop by displacing its homolog in an upstream region of the telomere. FIGURE 29a: A loop forms at the end of chromosomal DNA Photo courtesy of Jack Griffith, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

108 9.18 Telomeres Are Synthesized by a Ribonucleoprotein Enzyme FIGURE 32: Telomerase positions itself by base pairing between the RNA template and the protruding single-stranded DNA primer

109 9.19 Telomeres Are Essential for Survival Telomerase is expressed in actively dividing cells and is not expressed in quiescent cells. Loss of telomeres results in senescence. Escape from senescence can occur if telomerase is reactivated, or via unequal homologous recombination to restore telomeres. FIGURE 33: Mutation in telomerase causes telomeres to shorten in each cell division

110 Systems other than E. coli DNA replication Summary Coordination of leading- and lagging-strand synthesis in the eukaryotic nucleus is obscure. Primers are synthesized by the heterotetrameric Pol α/primase. They are ~half RNA, ~half DNA. Although no sequence homology is found among nuclear, bacterial and T4 sliding clamps and clamp loaders, their general structure is very similar (donutshape, 3/6fold symmetry).

111 Systems other than E. coli DNA replication Summary The heterotrimeric nuclear RPA has no homology with the homotetrameric bacterial SSB, despite possessing similar structural folding domains for binding ssdna. Two distinct polymerases (ε and δ) are required to leading and lagging strand synthesis, respectively, in the nucleus. Okazaki fragments maturation is accomplished by a complex with PCNA, Pol δ/β, Fen1 and DNA ligase I. A specialized polymerase (telomerase) is responsible for replication of the chromosomal ends.
