Where does the replication starts
At a specific sequence of DNA called the origin of replication
Origin of replication in prokaryotic cells
Single»_space;oriC
Origin of replication in eukaryotic cells
Multiple»_space;autonomous replication sequences (ARS)
What enzyme initiate the DNA separation
DNAa (it recognize the bases sequence at the origin of replication and separate a small region in the origin by atp hydrolysis)
DNA helicase enzyme function
Breaking the hydrogen bonds between the DNA strands using ATP
Single strand DNA binding proteins (SSB) function
Prevent the separated strands from rejoining & protect the single strand of DNA from nucleases
Pre priming complex is composed of what
DNAa protien+DNAc helicase loader+ssb protien +DNA helicase DNAb protien
Function of the pre priming complex
- Replication initiation
- Maintaining the DNA strands separation
The 2 strands separation create what
Supercoils(prevent further separation)
Function of DNA topoisomerase
Removes the supercoils
Topoisomerase consists of what
- Nuclease (strand cutting)
- Ligase( strand releasing)
DNA gyrase function
Subclass of type 2 topoisomerase»_space;deal with negative supercoils
E.g on quinolones antimicrobial drugs
Ciprofloxacin,,levofloxacin( inhibit bacterial gyrase )
E.g on anticancer drugs
Topotecan(target topoisomerase 1)
Etoposide(target topoisomerase 2)
Bloom syndrome cause
Defect in DNA helicase
DNA polymerases function
They add complementary nucleic Acid chain by forming phosphodiester bonds
