BIOL308 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen, Heterochromatin, Replication Factor C
Document Summary
1: dnap1: exonuclease that removes ribonucleotides (5 to 3), proofreads (3 to 5), fills in rna gaps with dntps. Needs a free 3"oh for polymerization and gap filling. 2: rnase h1: removes most rna made by primase except the last nucleotide (removed by 5" exonuclease dnap) 3: dna ligase: links nicked fragments by forming a po4diester bond between the 3"oh and 5"po4 (okazakis on lagging strand) 4: topoisomerase 1&2: recognize and regulate supercoiling to relax the dna for easier helicase separation at fork. Topoisomerase 2 (gyrase) needs atp and converts positive supercoils into negative ones. 5: primosome: helicase directs primase to make a primer to initiate replication. 6: replication fork: dnap3 cores are connected by tau dimers. Leading strand p3c elongated from primer in direction of fork. Lagging strand p3c (connected to leading core by tau) synthesizes okazakis from rna primer and a loop with ssbs is formed after b clamp releases okazaki from lagging p3c.
