The 3’ single-stranded end of the telomere displaces the homo-logous repeats from duplex DNA to form a t-loop. The reaction is catalyzed by TRF2.

Termination of replication Summary

The two replication forks of E. coli chromosome initiate at oriC, move around the genome and then meet at a ter site.

Binding of Tus protein to a ter site arrests replication fork advancement.

Type II topoisomerases are required to separate catenated daughter DNA molecules.

1. For circular bacterial chromosome:

Termination of replication Summary

Telomerase solves the end problem by extending the 3’ end of the chromosome. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase and specifically elongates the 3’OH of particular ssDNA sequences using its own RNA as a template. Type II topoisomerases are also critical to the segregation of large linear daughter chromosomes.

2. For eukaryotic linear chromosome:

Regulation of re-initiation

In bacterial cells, methylation at the origin may regulate initiation.

Figure 14.36

oriC contains 11 GATC repeats that are methylated on adenine on both strands.

Replication generates hemimethylated DNA.The hemimethylated origins cannot initiate again until the Dam methylase has converted them into fully methylated origins.

What is responsible for controlling reuse of origins?

-- Several mechanisms may be involved: Physical sequestration of the origin

Regulation of methylation by SeqA

Regulation of DnaA binding

by membrane-associated inhibitor

by repression of DnaA transcription by DnaAATP levels

In eukaryotic cells, licensing factor control the re-initiation of replication.

Origin recognition complex (ORC)

(Initiation complex)

• ORC is associated with yeast origins throughout the entire cell cycle.

When replication is initiated, Cdc6 and MCM proteins are displaced.

S phase

Cdc6 is rapidly degraded during S phase, preventing re-initiation.

Extrachromosomal DNA:

Replication loops always initiate at a unique point, called an origin.

2. Replication is bidirectional.

1. Both DNA strands are replicated simultaneously.

For most eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNAs:

Some extrachomosomal DNAs are replicated unidirectionally or using different replication modes.

2. Replication begins at an origin.
