Accessory factors summary
1. DNA polymerase can’t replicate a genome.Solution
ATP?No single stranded template Helicase
+The ss template is unstable SSB (RPA (euks))
-No primer Primase
(+)No 3’-->5’ polymerase Replication forkToo slow and distributive SSB and sliding
clamp - Sliding clamp can’t get on Clamp loader
(/RFC) +Lagging strand contains RNAPol I 5’-->3’ exo,
RNAseH -Lagging strand is nicked DNA ligase
+Helicase introduces + supercoils Topoisomerase II
+and products tangled
2. DNA replication is fast and processive
DNA polymerase holoenzyme
QuickTime™ and aDV - PAL decompressor

Starting and stopping summary
1. DNA replication is controlled at the initiation step.
2. DNA replication starts at specific sites in E. coli and yeast.
3. In E. coli, DnaA recognizes OriC and promotes loading of the DnaB helicase by DnaC (helicase loader)
4. DnaA and DnaC reactions are coupled to ATP hydrolysis.
5. Bacterial chromosomes are circular, and termination occurs opposite OriC.
6. In E. coli, the helicase inhibitor protein, tus, binds 7 ter DNA sites to trap the replisome at the end.
7. Eukaryotic chromosomes are linear, and the chromosome ends cannot be replicated by the replisome.
8. Telomerase extends the leading strand at the end.
9. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) with RNA (template) and reverse-transcriptase subunits.

Crystal structure of DnaA:ATP revealed mechanism of origin assembly
1. DnaA monomer (a) forms a polar filament (b).
2. DNA binding sites occur on the outside of the filament (model).

Crystal structure of DnaA:ATP revealed mechanism of origin assembly
1. The arrangement of DNA binding sites introduces positive supercoils by wrapping DNA on the outside.
Compensating negative supercoils melt the replication bubble at the end.
2. Clamp deposition recruits Had, which promotes ATP hydrolysis and progressive disassembly of the DnaA filament (hypothesis).

Topoisomerase II unlinks the replicated chromosomes
Topoisomerase II - Cuts DNA and passes one duplex through the other.
Class II topoisomerases include:Topo IV and DNA gyrase
Summary: What problems do these proteins solve?
Tyr OH attacks PO4 and forms a covalent intermediate
Structural changes in the protein open the gap by 20 Å!

Summary: What problems do these proteins solve?
The ends of (linear) eukaryotic chromosomes cannot be replicated by the replisome.
Not enough nucleotides for primase to start last lagging strand fragment
Chromosome ends shorten every generation!
Telomere shortening signals trouble!
1. Telomere shortening releases telomere binding proteins (TBPs)
2. Further shortening affects expression of telomere-shortening sensitive genes
3. Further shortening leads to DNA damage and mutations.
Telomere binding proteins (TBPs)
Telomerase replicates the ends (telomeres)
Telomere ssDNA
Telomerase extends the leading strand!Synthesis is in the 5’-->3’ direction.
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP). The enzyme contains RNA and proteins.
The RNA templates DNA synthesis. The proteins include the telomerase reverse transcriptase TERT.
Telomerase cycles at the telomeres
