Section 1 General Concepts of DNA Replication
DNA replication • A reaction in which daughter DNAs are synthesized using the parental DNAs as the template. • Transferring the genetic information to the descendant generation with a high fidelity replication parental DNA daughter DNA
Daughter strand synthesis • Chemical formulation: • The nature of DNA replication is a series of 3´- 5´phosphodiester bond formation catalyzed by a group of enzymes.
Phosphodiester bond formation
DNA replication system Template: double stranded DNA Substrate: d. NTP Primer: short RNA fragment with a free 3´-OH end Enzyme: DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (DDDP), other enzymes, protein factor
Characteristics of replication l Semi-conservative replication l Bidirectional replication l Semi-continuous replication l High fidelity
§ 1. 1 Semi-Conservative Replication
Semiconservative replication Half of the parental DNA molecule is conserved in each new double helix, paired with a newly synthesized complementary strand. This is called semiconservative replication
Semiconservative replication
Experiment of DNA semiconservative replication
Significance The genetic information is ensured to be transferred from one generation to the next generation with a high fidelity.
§ 1. 2 Bidirectional Replication • Replication starts from unwinding the ds. DNA at a particular point (called origin), followed by the synthesis on each strand. • The parental ds. DNA and two newly formed ds. DNA form a Y-shape structure called replication fork.
Replication fork
Bidirectional replication • Once the ds. DNA is opened at the origin, two replication forks are formed spontaneously. • These two replication forks move in opposite directions as the syntheses continue.
Bidirectional replication
Replication of prokaryotes The replication process starts from the origin, and proceeds in two opposite directions. It is named replication.
Replication of eukaryotes • Chromosomes of eukaryotes have multiple origins. • The space between two adjacent origins is called the replicon, a functional unit of replication.
origins of DNA replication (every ~150 kb)
§ 1. 3 Semi-continuous Replication The daughter strands on two template strands are synthesized differently since the replication process obeys the principle that DNA is synthesized from the 5´ end to the 3´end.
Leading strand On the template having the 3´- end, the daughter strand is synthesized continuously in the 5’-3’ direction. This strand is referred to as the leading strand.
Semi-continuous replication
Okazaki fragments • Many DNA fragments are synthesized sequentially on the DNA template strand having the 5´- end. These DNA fragments are called Okazaki fragments. They are 1000 – 2000 nt long for prokaryotes and 100 -150 nt long for eukaryotes. • The daughter strand consisting of Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strand.
Semi-continuous replication Continuous synthesis of the leading strand discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand represent a unique feature of DNA replication. It is referred to as the semi-continuous replication.

§ 2. 1 DNA Polymerase DNA-pol of prokaryotes • The first DNAdependent DNA polymerase (short for DNA-pol I) was discovered in 1958 by Arthur Kornberg who received Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1959.
• Later, DNA-pol II and DNA-pol III were identified in experiments using mutated E. coli cell line. • All of them possess the following biological activity. 1. 5 3 polymerizing 2. exonuclease
DNA-pol of E. coli
DNA-pol I • Mainly responsible for proofreading and filling the gaps, repairing DNA damage
Klenow fragment N end DNA-pol Ⅰ C end caroid • small fragment (323 AA): having 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity • large fragment (604 AA): called Klenow fragment, having DNA polymerization and 3´→ 5´exonuclease activity
DNA-pol II • Temporary functional when DNA-pol I and DNA-pol III are not functional • Still capable for doing synthesis on the damaged template • Participating in DNA repairing
DNA-pol III • A heterodimer enzyme composed of ten different subunits • Having the highest polymerization activity (105 nt/min) • The true enzyme responsible for the elongation process
Structure of DNA-pol III α: has 5´→ 3´ polymerizing activity ε:has 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity and plays a key role to ensure the replication fidelity. θ: maintain heterodimer structure
DNA-pol of eukaryotes DNA-pol : initiate replication and synthesize primers Dna. G, primase DNA-pol : replication with low fidelity repairing DNA-pol : polymerization in mitochondria DNA-pol : elongation DNA-pol III DNA-pol : proofreading and filling gap DNA-pol I
§ 2. 2 Primase • Also called Dna. G • Primase is able to synthesize primers using free NTPs as the substrate and the ss. DNA as the template. • Primers are short RNA fragments of a several decades of nucleotides long.
• Primers provide free 3´-OH groups to react with the -P atom of d. NTP to form phosphoester bonds. • Primase, Dna. B, Dna. C and an origin form a primosome complex at the initiation phase.
§ 2. 3 Helicase • Also referred to as Dna. B. • It opens the double strand DNA with consuming ATP. • The opening process with the assistance of Dna. A and Dna. C
§ 2. 4 SSB protein • Stand for single strand DNA binding protein • SSB protein maintains the DNA template in the single strand form in order to • prevent the ds. DNA formation; • protect the vulnerable ss. DNA from nucleases.
§ 2. 5 Topoisomerase • Opening the ds. DNA will create supercoil ahead of replication forks. • The supercoil constraint needs to be released by topoisomerases.
• The interconversion of topoisomers of ds. DNA is catalyzed by a topoisomerase in a three-step process: • Cleavage of one or both strands of DNA • Passage of a segment of DNA through this break • Resealing of the DNA break
Topoisomerase I (topo I) • Also called -protein in prokaryotes. • It cuts a phosphoester bond on one DNA strand, rotates the broken DNA freely around the other strand to relax the constraint, and reseals the cut.
Topoisomerase II (topo II) • It is named gyrase in prokaryotes. • It cuts phosphoester bonds on both strands of ds. DNA, releases the supercoil constraint, and reforms the phosphoester bonds. • It can change ds. DNA into the negative supercoil state with consumption of ATP.
§ 2. 6 DNA Ligase
• Connect two adjacent ss. DNA strands by joining the 3´-OH of one DNA strand to the 5´-P of another DNA strand. • Sealing the nick in the process of replication, repairing, recombination, and splicing.
§ 2. 7 Replication Fidelity • Replication based on the principle of base pairing is crucial to the high accuracy of the genetic information transfer. • Enzymes use two mechanisms to ensure the replication fidelity. – Proofreading and real-time correction – Base selection
Proofreading and correction • DNA-pol I has the function to correct the mismatched nucleotides. • It identifies the mismatched nucleotide, removes it using the 3´- 5´ exonuclease activity, add a correct base, and continues the replication.
Exonuclease functions 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity cut primer or excise mutated segment 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity excise mismatched nuleotides
Section 3 DNA Replication Process
Sequential actions • Initiation: recognize the starting point, separate ds. DNA, primer synthesis, … • Elongation: add d. NTPs to the existing strand, form phosphoester bonds, correct the mismatch bases, extending the DNA strand, … • Termination: stop the replication
§ 3. 1 Replication of prokaryotes a. Initiation • The replication starts at a particular point called origin. • The origin of E. coli, ori C, is at the location of 82. • The structure of the origin is 248 bp long and AT-rich.
Genome of E. coli
Structure of ori C • Three 13 bp consensus sequences • Two pairs of anti-consensus repeats
Formation of preprimosome
Formation of replication fork • Dna. A recognizes ori C. • Dna. B and Dna. C join the DNA-Dna. A complex, open the local AT-rich region, and move on the template downstream further to separate enough space. • Dna. A is replaced gradually. • SSB protein binds the complex to stabilize ss. DNA.
Primer synthesis • Primase joins and forms a complex called primosome. • Primase starts the synthesis of primers on the ss. DNA template using NTP as the substrates in the 5´- 3´ direction at the expense of ATP. • The short RNA fragments provide free 3´-OH groups for DNA elongation.
Releasing supercoil constraint • The supercoil constraints are generated ahead of the replication forks. • Topoisomerase binds to the ds. DNA region just before the replication forks to release the supercoil constraint. • The negatively supercoiled DNA serves as a better template than the positively supercoiled DNA.
Primosome complex
b. Elongation • d. NTPs are continuously connected to the primer or the nascent DNA chain by DNA-pol III. • The core enzymes ( 、 、and ) catalyze the synthesis of leading and lagging strands, respectively. • The nature of the chain elongation is the series formation of the phosphodiester bonds.
• The synthesis direction of the leading strand is the same as that of the replication fork. • The synthesis direction of the latest Okazaki fragment is also the same as that of the replication fork.
Lagging strand synthesis • Primers on Okazaki fragments are digested by RNase. • The gaps are filled by DNA-pol I in the 5´→ 3´direction. • The nick between the 5´end of one fragment and the 3´end of the next fragment is sealed by ligase.
c. Termination • The replication of E. coli is bidirectional from one origin, and the two replication forks must meet at one point called ter at 32. • All the primers will be removed, and all the fragments will be connected by DNA-pol I and ligase.
§ 3. 2 Replication of Eukaryotes • DNA replication is closely related with cell cycle. • Multiple origins on one chromosome, and replications are activated in a sequential order rather than simultaneously.
Cell cycle
Initiation • The eukaryotic origins are shorter than that of E. coli. • Requires DNA-pol (primase activity) and DNA-pol (polymerase activity and helicase activity). • Needs topoisomerase and replication factors (RF) to assist.
b. Elongation • DNA replication and nucleosome assembling occur simultaneously. • Overall replication speed is compatible with that of prokaryotes.
c. Termination
Telomere • The terminal structure of eukaryotic DNA of chromosomes is called telomere. • Telomere is composed of terminal DNA sequence and protein. • The sequence of typical telomeres is rich in T and G. • The telomere structure is crucial to keep the termini of chromosomes in the cell from becoming entangled and sticking to each other.
Telomerase • The eukaryotic cells use telomerase to maintain the integrity of DNA telomere. • The telomerase is composed of telomerase RNA telomerase association protein telomerase reverse transcriptase • It is able to synthesize DNA using RNA as the template.
Inchworm model
Significance of Telomerase • Telomerase may play important roles is cancer cell biology and in cell aging.
Section 4 Other Replication Modes
§ 4. 1 Reverse Transcription • The genetic information carrier of some biological systems is ss. RNA instead of ds. DNA (such as ss. RNA viruses). • The information flow is from RNA to DNA, opposite to the normal process. • This special replication mode is called reverse transcription.
Viral infection of RNA virus
Reverse transcription is a process in which ss. RNA is used as the template to synthesize ds. DNA.
Process of Reverse transcription • Synthesis of ss. DNA complementary to ss. RNA, forming a RNA-DNA hybrid. • Hydrolysis of ss. RNA in the RNA-DNA hybrid by RNase activity of reverse transcriptase, leaving ss. DNA. • Synthesis of the second ss. DNA using the left ss. DNA as the template, forming a DNA-DNA duplex.
Reverse transcriptase is the enzyme for the reverse transcription. It has activity of three kinds of enzymes: • RNA-dependent DNA polymerase • RNase • DNA-dependent DNA polymerase
Significance of RT • An important discovery in life science and molecular biology • RNA plays a key role just like DNA in the genetic information transfer and gene expression process. • RNA could be the molecule developed earlier than DNA in evolution. • RT is the supplementary to the central dogma.
Significance of RT • This discovery enriches the understanding about the cancercausing theory of viruses. (cancer genes in RT viruses, and HIV having RT function) • Reverse transcriptase has become a extremely important tool in molecular biology to select the target genes.

Section 5 DNA Damage and Repair
§ 5. 1 Mutation is a change of nucleic acids in genomic DNA of an organism. The mutation could occur in the replication process as well as in other steps of life process.
Consequences of mutation • To create a diversity of the biological world; a natural evolution of biological systems • To lead to the functional alternation of biomolecules, death of cells or tissues, and some diseases as well • Changes of genotype, but no effect on phenotype
§ 5. 2 Causes of Mutation
Physical damage
Mutation caused by chemicals • Carcinogens can cause mutation. • Carcinogens include: • Food additives and food preservatives; spoiled food • Pollutants: automobile emission; chemical wastes • Chemicals: pesticides; alkyl derivatives; -NH 2 OH containing materials
§ 5. 3 Types of Mutation a. Point mutation (mismatch) Point mutation is referred to as the single nucleotide alternation. • Transition: the base alternation from purine to purine, or from pyrimidine to pyrimidine. • Transversion: the base alternation between purine and pyrimidine, and vise versa.
Transition mutation
Hb mutation causing anemia Single base mutation leads to one AA change, causing disease. Hb. S Hb. A chains CAC CTC m. RNA GUG GAG AA residue 6 in chain Val Glu
b. Deletion and insertion • Deletion: one or more nucleotides are deleted from the DNA sequence. • Insertion: one or more nucleotides are inserted into the DNA sequence. Deletion and insertion cause the reading frame shifted.
Frame-shift mutation Normal 5´… …GCA GUA CAU GUC … … Ala Val His Val Deletion C 5´… …GAG UAC AUG UC … … Glu Tyr Met Ser
c. Rearrangement It is an exchange of large DNA fragments. It can be either reverse the direction or recombination between chromosomes. 1. Site-specific recombination 2. Homologous genetic recombination 3. DNA transposition
§ 5. 4 DNA Repairing • DNA repairing is a kind response made by cells after DNA damage occurs, which may resume their natural structures and normal biological functions. • DNA repairing is a supplementary to the proofreading-correction mechanism in DNA replication.
Light repairing
Excision repairing • One of the most important and effective repairing approach. • Uvr. A and Uvr. B: recognize and bind the damaged region of DNA. • Uvr. C: excise the damaged segment. • DNA-pol Ⅰ: synthesize the DNA segment to fill the gap. • DNA ligase: seal the nick.
Xeroderma pigmentosis (XP) • XP is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. Patients will be suffered with hyper-sensitivity to UV which results in multiple skin cancers. • The cause is due to the low enzymatic activity for the nucleotide excisionrepairing process, particular thymine dimer.
Excision repairing
Recombination repairing • It is used for repairing when a large segment of DNA is damaged. • Recombination protein Rec. A, Rec. B and Rec. C participate in this repairing.
SOS repairing • It is responsible for the situation that DNA is severely damaged and the replication is hard to continue. • If workable, the cell could be survived, but may leave many errors. • In E. coli, uvr gene and rec gene as well as Lex A protein constitute a regulatory network.
