Cards

Term
what is involves in activating and liscencing of DNA replication
Definition

ORC=find the origin

Cdc6 + Cdt1= load helicase MCM

CDK and DDK phosphorilate ORC protein and MCM

Term
what does helicase do
Definition
separate DNA helix
Term
what does Topo 1 do and what inhibits its
Definition
Topo 1= cut 1 strand, let it unwind and reseal that 1 strand.
campthothecin inhibits topo 1
Term
what does Topo 2 do and what inhibits its
Definition
Topo 2= cut 2 strand, let them unwind and reseal these strands.
Etoposide inhibits topo 2
Term
inhibitors of dna replication are most likely to ind medical uses as
Definition
anti cancer drugs
Term
what does DNA polymerase a do
Definition
builts a RNA primer at 5' if the new DNA stands
Term
what do polymerase s and e need
Definition
they need 3'OH
Term
Whats the leading strand? what poly is associated with it
Definition
pol e= leading strand
leading strand = new synthesized DNA replicated towards the replication fork
Term
Whats the lagging strand? what poly is associated with it
Definition
pol s= lagging strand
Lagging=synthesized away from the replication fork and is discontinous: OKAZAKI fragments
Term
what does Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) do
Definition
keeps the DNA poly on the DNA
Term
what kinds of bonds are made in new DNA strand
Definition
covalent, H bonds and hydrophobic
Term
what does DNA ligase do
Definition
seals up the nicks or okazaki fragments by forming a phosphodiester bond
Term
how can a RNA primer be removed from a DNA strand
Definition
by RNAse H
Term
RNA telomeres cant replicate by the usual mechanism. what is used in order to integrate them
Definition
Telomerase integrates RNA template.
Its a RNA dependant DNA polymerase
Term
gives the steps of replication
Definition
1- liscensing and activating: (ORC, phosphorilation)
2-replication fork ( DNA helicase, topo,SSBs)
3-DNA polymerase a binds to primer
4-DNA pol e binds to leading
DNA pol s binds to lagging
Term
how is DNA synthesized
Definition
5-3
Term
what is a okazaki fragment
Definition
short fragment of DNA (with no RNA primer at the 5' terminus) created on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
