DNA Replication Mechanisms

概念介绍

semiconservative 半保留复制

replication origins 复制起点

specified by DNA sequences several hundred bps in length, which contains

  1. Short sequences that attract initiator proteins 起始蛋白结合位点
  2. DNA sequences that are especially easy to open.包含A-T较多,方便打开

Prokaryotic Chromosome Has a Single Ori
原核细胞染色质只有一个复制起点

Eukaryotic Chromosome Contains Multiple Origins of Replication

Replication Fork

Replication fork (复制叉) grow bi-directionally from the origin.
The replication fork is a Y shaped structure that is formed in a replication bubble (复制泡).

Semi-discontinuous Replication 半不连续复制

有一个leading strand 先导链
有一个lagging strand 后随链,上面带冈崎片段

DNA helicase 解旋酶

The separation of a DNA double helix strands use the energy from ATP hydrolysis.

DNA polymerase DNA聚合酶

催化dNTP连接
从5’向3’延伸DNA链
dnajuhemei
Dissociation of pyrophosphate relaxes the polymerase, allowing the active site of the polymerase ready to receive the next dNTP.

DNA primase DNA引物酶

uses NTPs to synthesize short RNA primers 短RNA引物

DNA ligase 连接酶

冈崎片段的RNA引物切掉之后,DNA连接酶连接DNA之间的空隙

Single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins 单链DNA结合蛋白

这个估计不算酶
stabilizing the unwound, single-strand conformation
用处是防止单链的DNA自己折叠成双链

DNA topoisomerases 拓扑异构酶

Two parental strands unwind, the rest of the strands will have “winding problem”

alt text
如图,如果DNA不能快速旋转,后面的链就给拧了,参考悠悠球绳

Topoisomerase I, produces a transient single-strand break, then reseal the break.

Topoisomerase II, produces a transient double-strand break in the helix, then reseal the breaks.

DNA Replication-Coupled Nucleosome Assembly 组蛋白组装

组蛋白遗传信息可以传给子代

When parental chromosomal DNA unwind, nucleosome core particle broken into an H3-H4 tetramer四聚体 and two H2A-H2B dimers二聚体

New nucleosomes are assembled using both parental histones and newly synthesized histones.

Telomerase 端粒酶

DNA合成到头之后会有一个问题就是后随链的尾巴缺了一块没法合成
alt text

最后一段叫端粒
Telomeres contain many tandem repeats of a short sequence
端粒有许多串联的重复的短片段
TTAGGG在一个端粒重复1000多次

alt text

如图,端粒酶先通过自身RNA与DNA配对延长DNA,然后DNA聚合酶合成DNA补全

Telomerase(端粒酶) elongates the parent strand in the 5ʹ-to-3ʹ direction, using an RNA template (5‘NNCCCUAANN-3’) that is a component of the enzyme itself (RNA-templated DNA synthesis)

DNA polymerases use these extensions as a template to synthesize the complementary strand. (DNA-templated DNA synthesis)

DNA lesion & mutation

DNA lesion损伤 refers to a section of a DNA molecule containing a primary damaged site
指的是单个DNA分子受伤

Most DNA lesions are temporary because they are immediately corrected by DNA repair.

Without DNA repair, DNA lesions can be left as a permanent mutation.

DNA repair DNA修复

Excision Repair 切除修复

Base Excision Repair 碱基切除修复

Repair a specific base change

Step1: DNA glycosylase(DNA 糖苷酶) removes an deaminated cytosine in DNA.
切除胞嘧啶

Step 2: The sugar phosphate with the missing base is cut out AP endonuclease (脱嘌呤嘧啶内切核酸酶, AP for apurinic or apyrimidinic).
切除缺碱基的糖磷酸盐

Step 3: The gap of a single nucleotide is then filled by DNA polymerase and DNA ligase.
通过DNA聚合酶&DNA连接酶补上

Nucleotide Excision Repair核苷酸切除修复

Step1: E.coli UvrABC scans the DNA helix, identify the distorted structure due to a pyrimidine dimer.

Step 2: cleaves the phosphodiester backbone of the abnormal strand on both sides of the dimer.

Step 3: removes the single-strand oligonucleotide containing the lesion. The large gap is then repaired by DNA polymerase and DNA ligase.

DSB修复 double strand break

Both strands of the double helix are broken, if left unrepaired, the breakdown of chromosomes into smaller fragments.

这种损伤也叫DSB

两种修复方式

Homologous recombination 同源重组

HR often occurs just after DNA replication,when the two daughter DNA molecules lie close together.

One of the damaged strands can use the complementary strand of the intact DNA duplex as a template for repair.

HR can repair double-strand break DSB, without any loss or alteration of nucleotides at the site of repair.

不想写了直接看图吧

Nonhomologous end joining 非同源末端连接

Ku protein recognizes the broken end of DSB. additional proteins are needed to hold the broken ends together while they are processed and eventually joined.

NHEJ occurs without a template and usually leaves a mutation at the site generally with the loss of nucleotides at the site of joining.
