4th Flashcards
(12 cards)
Initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells begins with what
The binding of the origin recognition complex (ORC)
ORC is consist of
Multi subunits DNA binding complex (6 subunits) in a atp dependent manner
pre-RC formation involves the ordered assembly of many replication factors including:
1.ORC
2.Cdc6(with ATP)
3.Cdt1+Mcm2-7
Why is the pre-rc assembly during G1 is required
For replication license
What happens when atp hydrolysis of cdc6 protien
Loading of the head to head dimer of Mcm2-7 on the DNA strand
When does the pre-rc complex convert into the initiation complex
During cell cycle transition from g1 to S
Converting pre-rc complex into initiation complex happens by the action of what
CDK+DDK
DDK targets what
Loaded helicase
CDK target what
Two other replication protiens»phosphorylation»_space;Cdc45 & GINS protiens»_space;bind to Mcm2-7 helicase
What is the active form of Mcm2-7dna helicase
Cdc45-Mcm2-7-gins(CMG)
DNA polymerase 3 features
1.Synthesis only in the 5’-3’ direction
2. Cannot start without the presence of rna primers
What are Primers
Short RNA molecules, synthesized in the 5’-3’ direction by primase (rna polymerase)
