• Two types of nucleic acids – DNA and RNA
• Genome - the genetic information of an organism. The genomes of all cells are composed of DNA.
• Nucleic acids are biopolymers consisting of nucleotides
• Nucleotides have three components: (1) A weakly basic nitrogen base (2) A five-carbon sugar (3) Phosphate

Nucleotides joined by 3’-5’ phosphodi-ester linkages
One end of the polynucleotide chain is said to be 5’ (no residues are attached to 5’-carbon) and other is said to be 3’. Direction from the top to bottom is called 5’→3’, from bottom to top – 3’→5.

Two Antiparallel Strands Form a Double Helix
• Bases in opposite strands pair by complementary hydrogen bonding
• Adenine (A) - Thymine (T)
• Guanine (G) - Cytosine (C)
DNA is Double-Stranded
Watson JamesCrick Francis
Two strands run in opposite directions
The double helix of DNA was discovered in 1953 by Crick F. and Watson J. Nobel prize in 1962.

machinery•Very stable molecules
(2) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) •Makes up much of the ribosome•Very stable, majority of cellular RNA
(3) Messenger RNA (mRNA) •Encodes message from DNA to
ribosomes•Rapidly degraded by nucleases

Semiconservative mechanism of DNA replicationThe two strands separate, and each strand is copied to generate a comple-mentary strand. Each parental strand remains associated with its newly synthesized complement, so each DNA duplex contains one parental strand and one new strand.
Replication – synthesis of DNA on the DNA template
![Page 20: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Components which are necessary for replication
•Enzymes (most important – DNA-dependent DNA polymerase)
•Protein factors
•Parental DNA
•ATP, GTP, ТТP, CТP
•Ions Mg і Zn

DNA replication• In eukaryotes
the replication begins in many points simultaneously
• V-shape – replication forks - the point of the beginning of replication
• Helicase – enzyme untwisting the double strand
![Page 23: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
•Replisome - protein machinery for replication
•Replisome contains: primosome, DNA polymerase III, proteins
•Helicase is a constituent of primosome
![Page 24: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
•Bidirectional DNA replication in E. coli
•New strands of DNA are synthesized at the two replication forks where replisomes are located
![Page 25: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DNA polymerase•DNA polymerase III – the main enzyme of
replication responsible for the chain elongation
•Appropriate nucleotides are inserted in the correct positions according to the complementary principle
•DNA polymerases only synthesize new strand in the 5’-3’ direction.
![Page 26: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Напрямок синтезу 5’-3’, антипаралельно до матричного ланцюга
![Page 28: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DNA polymerase synthesizes two strands simultaneously
Because DNA polymerases only polymerize nucleotides 5 ’3’, both strands must be synthesized in the 5’3’ direction. Thus, the copy of the parental 3’5’ strand is synthesized continuously; this newly made strand is designated the leading strand. As the helix unwinds, the other parental strand (the 5’3’, strand) is copied in a discontinuous fashion through synthesis of a series of fragments - Okazaki fragments; the strand constructed from the Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strands
![Page 29: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

дискретно• Lagging strand
is copied in a discontinuous fashion (Okazaki fragments)
• The formation of a phosphodi-ester linkage between of adjacent Okazaki fragments is catalized by ligase
![Page 30: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Okazaki Model
Reiji Okazaki provided experimental evidence for
discontinuous DNA synthesis
![Page 31: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RNA Primer Begins Each Okazaki Fragment
•Primosome is a complex containing primase enzyme which synthesizes short pieces of RNA at the replication fork - primer
•DNA pol III uses the RNA primer to start the lagging-strand DNA synthesis
•Replisome - includes primosome, DNA pol III
•Each Okazaki fragment has the primer
![Page 32: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Okazaki Fragments Are Joined by Action of DNA Polymerase I and
DNA Ligase
•DNA pol I removes the RNA primer at the beginning of each Okazaki fragment
•Synthesizes DNA in place of RNA
DNA polymerase I activities
DNA ligase
•Catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester linkage between of adjacent Okazaki fragments
![Page 33: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Repair of Damaged DNA
•DNA is the only cellular macromolecule that can be repaired
•DNA damage includes: -base modifications-nucleotide deletions or
insertions-cross-linking of DNA strands-breakage of phosphodiester
backbone
![Page 34: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
•Reparation – enzymatic deletion and synthesis of the damaged DNA fragments
•Recombination - exchange or transfer of pieces of DNA from one chromosome to another or within a chromosome
•Transposition – dislocation of gene or group of genes from one place to another

DIFFERENCE FROM REPLICATION
•Only one strand is used as a matrix
•Only the part of DNA is transcribed (not the entire chain)
![Page 38: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
RNA Polymerase•There are 3 RNA-polymerases in eukaryotes (for mRNA, rRNA, tRNA)
•RNA pol is core of a larger transcription complex
•Complex assembles at one end of a gene (promoter) when transcription is initiated – transcription initiation
•DNA is continuously unwound as RNA pol catalyzes a processive elongation of RNA chain
![Page 39: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Chain Elongation Reaction
•Mechanism almost identical to that for DNA polymerase
•Growing RNA chain is base-paired to DNA template strand
•Incoming ribonucleotide triphosphates (RTPs) form correct H bonds to template
•New phosphodiester bond formed
• Direction 5’-3’
• Speed - 30-85 nucleotides/sec

Transcription Termination
•Only certain regions of DNA are transcribed
•Transcription complexes assemble at promoters and disassemble at the 3’ end of genes at specific termination sequences
![Page 45: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
PROCESSING
•Transcription occurs in the nucleus, translation in the cytoplasm
•Eukaryotic mRNA is processed in the nucleus
•In some mRNA, pieces are removed from the middle and the ends joined (splicing)
![Page 46: Molecular mechanisms of DNA replication. Transcription](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139f3550346895da1ab01/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
•Introns - internal sequences that are removed from the primary RNA transcript
•Exons - sequences that are present in the primary transcript and the mature mRNA
•Specific enzymes cut out introns and join exons - splicing
