DNA Replication Reaches the Breaking Point
نویسنده
چکیده
DNA strand breaks that result in stalled or damaged replication forks can be detrimental to the DNA replication process. In this issue, Doksani et al. (2009) examine the impact of a single double-stranded DNA break on replication in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Topoisomerase Inhibitors and Types of Them
Objective: In this paper, we have introduced topoisomerase inhibitors, mechanism of action and types of them. DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze essential enzymes to solve the topological problems accompanying key nuclear processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair and chromatin assembly by introducing temporary single or double strand breaks in the DNA. Result...

متن کاملCell Timer/Cell Clock
Like the biological clock in the body, replication of each cell type (even different cells of the same organism) follows a timing program. Abnormal function of this timer could be an alarm for a disease like cancer. DNA replication starts from a specific point on the chromosome that is called the origin of replication. In contrast to prokaryotes in which DNA replication starts from a single ...
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...
متن کاملInitiation and reinitiation of DNA synthesis during replication of bacteriophage T7.
In its first round of replication, the T7 chromosome follows a simple pattern, as viewed in the electron microscope. The iniation of DNA synthesis occurs about 17% from the genetic left end of the viral DNA rod. Bidirectional DNA synthesis from this origin then generates a replicating intermediate that we call an "eye form." In the eye form, when synthesis in the leftward direction reaches the ...
