Collaborative coupling between polymerase and helicase for leading-strand synthesis
Rapid and processive leading-strand DNA synthesis in the bacteriophage T4 system requires functional coupling between the helicase and the holoenzyme, consisting of the polymerase and trimeric clamp loaded by the clamp loader. We investigated the mechanism of this coupling on a DNA hairpin substrate manipulated by a magnetic trap. In stark contrast to the isolated enzymes, the coupled system sy...
متن کاملCMG helicase and DNA polymerase e form a functional 15-subunit holoenzyme for eukaryotic leading-strand DNA replication
DNA replication in eukaryotes is asymmetric, with separate DNA polymerases (Pol) dedicated to bulk synthesis of the leading and lagging strands. Pol α/primase initiates primers on both strands that are extended by Pol e on the leading strand and by Pol δ on the lagging strand. The CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) helicase surrounds the leading strand and is proposed to recruit Pol e for leading-strand synt...

متن کاملCoupling of DNA helicase function to DNA strand exchange activity.
1. Introduction DNA repair can occur by a variety of mechanistically distinct pathways [for review, see (1)]. Recombinational DNA repair is one such pathway, and it requires the coordinated action of many different enzymes. In the best studied organism, Escherichia coli, more than 20 different proteins are involved [for review, see (2)]. The recombinational repair of a double-stranded DNA (dsDN...
متن کاملCoupled Leading- and Lagging-Strand Synthesis of Mammalian Mitochondrial DNA
Analysis of mammalian mtDNA by two-dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis revealed two classes of replication intermediate. One was resistant to single-strand nuclease digestion and displayed the mobility properties of coupled leading- and lagging- strand replication products. Intermediates of coupled, unidirectional mtDNA replication were found in mouse liver and human placenta and were the p...
