Document Summary

First step to opening up region to allow helicases to bind: initiation proteins bind to origins. Initiator protein belong to aaa+ family, which means they are atpases associated with atp binding proteins. In ecoli, the initiator protein is dnaa. In eukaryotes is orc origin recognition complex. In eukaryotes its more complex, they have 6 subunits. Orc 1 is required for orc to bind to dna. The origin has an at rich sequence near by because of the 2 bonds holding it together instead of the 3 hydrogen bonds in c-g bonds, so its easier to split them apart. Only when they are bound, they can multerimize and form a spiral. As it binds to dnaa it distorts and makes it easier for at rich element to split and we get strand separation in at rich area (unwinds) Need to add the helicase inside the ring, but there e. coli is linear dna no end.
