DNA replication: a complex matter.
In eukaryotic cells, the essential function of DNA replication is carried out by a network of enzymes and proteins, which work together to rapidly and accurately duplicate the genetic information of the cell. Many of the components of this DNA replication apparatus associate with other cellular factors as components of multiprotein complexes, which act cooperatively in networks to regulate cell...
متن کاملA trimeric DNA polymerase complex increases the native replication processivity
DNA polymerases are essential enzymes in all domains of life for both DNA replication and repair. The primary DNA replication polymerase from Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsoDpo1) has been shown previously to provide the necessary polymerization speed and exonuclease activity to replicate the genome accurately. We find that this polymerase is able to physically associate with itself to form a trime...
متن کاملCDC7 kinase complex as a molecular switch for DNA replication.
Cdc7 kinase and its activator Dbf4 protein, originally identified in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are widely conserved in eukaryotes including fission yeast and human. Dbf4-related activators bind and stimulate kinase activity of Cdc7-like catalytic subunit. Its kinase activity is cell cycle-regulated, mainly through availability of the activation subunit whose level increases at G1/...
متن کاملDNA replication origins, ORC/DNA interaction, and assembly of pre-replication complex in eukaryotes.
Chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is highly complicated and sophisticatedly regulated. Owing to its large size, a typical eukaryotic genome contains hundreds to tens of thousands of initiation sites called DNA replication origins where DNA synthesis takes place. Multiple initiation sites remove the constraint of a genome size because only a certain amount of DNA can be replicated ...
متن کاملDNA REPLICATION AND SYNTHESIS OF DNABINDING PROTEINS IN THE CHLOROPLASTS OF A CALLUS CULTURE
Continuous labelling of callus with H-thymidine results in intermittent peaks of H-DNA per chloroplast, showing synchrony of division. The increase in H-DNA could be due to several replication rounds, and the drop to successive plastid divisions without intervening DNA synthesis. The level of DNA-binding proteins in the chloroplast parallels the peaks of plastidal DNA synthesis; such pro...
