DNA synthesis
Basic laws of DNA replication
semi-preservative copy
DNA replicates in a semiconservative manner
During replication, the parent double-stranded DNA is unwound into two single strands, each of which serves as a template to synthesize the daughter strand DNA double-strands with complementary sequences according to the rules of base pairing.
significance
Genetic conservatism (stability)
universality of differences
遗传保守性不是绝对的:由于DNA突变和DNA重组普遍存在
The DNA of the offspring retains all the genetic information of the parents, and the base sequences between the DNA of the parents and offspring are highly consistent.
Bidirectional replication
DNA replication proceeds in both directions from the origin
Prokaryotic DNA replication
There is only one origin of replication
Prokaryotic genome is circular DNA
Single point starting bidirectional replication

Copy starts from the starting point and unwinds in both directions
eukaryotic DNA replication
Multi-start bidirectional copy feature
The eukaryotic genome is large and complex, consisting of multiple chromosomes. All chromosomes need to be replicated, and each chromosome has multiple origins.
Each origin produces two replication forks that move in opposite directions.
When replication is complete, the replication forks meet and join
A replicator is a functional unit that independently completes replication and contains an origin of replication.
A region of DNA replication starting from a DNA replication origin is called a replicon
The distance between two adjacent starting points
semi-discontinuous replication
DNA replication occurs in a semi-discontinuous manner
Reason: DNA polymerase can only catalyze the synthesis of DNA strands from the 5' to 3' direction.
leading strand
The daughter strand DNA generated in the melting direction is synthesized continuously (continuous replication)
lagging strand
Non-continuous replication, as the template strand is unwound, primers are generated and synthesized piece by piece from 5′→3′
The way in which the leading strand replicates continuously and the trailing strand replicates discontinuously is called semi-discontinuous replication
The synthesis of two complementary strands is asymmetric
In terms of primer generation and daughter strand elongation, the lagging strand is later than the leading strand.
Okazaki fragment
A new DNA fragment synthesized along the template strand of the lagging strand
Fragments are connected by DNA ligase

Type II
Depends on ATP
Cut the DNA double strands in the positive supercoiled state to relax the supercoil, and then use ATP to supply energy. The broken ends of the relaxed DNA are restored one after another under the catalysis of the same enzyme, and the DNA molecule enters the negative supercoiled state.
Type III

In physics, it refers to the elastic displacement of an object or image while maintaining the original properties of the object.
DNA ligase ligates single-stranded gaps created during replication
DNA ligase

eukaryotic DNA replication process
start of replication
The initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes is basically similar to that in prokaryotes
Features
Replication is sequential
Replicators are activated in groups instead of starting synchronously
DNA with high transcriptional activity is replicated early in S phase
Highly repetitive sequences such as satellite DNA, the centrosome that connects chromosome diploids, and the ends of linear chromosomes that are telomeres are all replicated in the final stage of S phase.
The origin of replication sequence is more complex
The initiation of replication is also the opening of double strands to form a replication fork, the formation of primers and the synthesis of RNA primers.

DNA chain elongation during replication
Elongation of eukaryotic DNA replication occurs through DNA polymerase switching
Definition of polymerase conversion
A process in which DNA pol α synthesizes primers and is quickly replaced by DNA pol ε and DNA pol δ, which have the ability to continuously synthesize.
The length of the Okazaki fragment is roughly equal to the number of DNA bases contained in one nucleosome (135bp) or several times that
FEN1 and RNase H are responsible for removing eukaryotic replicating RNA primers
In terms of enzyme catalytic rate, it is much slower than that of prokaryotes
Since eukaryotes replicate with multiple replicators, the overall speed is not slow.
The replication speed is affected by different organ tissues, different developmental stages and different physiological conditions.
Termination of replication
Eukaryotic DNA is assembled into nucleosomes immediately after synthesis
Eukaryotic DNA replication and nucleosome assembly proceed simultaneously. After replication is completed, chromosomes are assembled and transition from the G2 period to the M phase.
The destruction of nucleosomes is only limited to a short area immediately adjacent to the replication fork. The movement of the replication fork causes the nucleosome to be destroyed, but when the replication fork moves forward, nucleosomes are rapidly formed on the daughter strand.
Most of the original histones will be reused, but new histones also need to be synthesized
Telomerase solves the problem of chromosome end replication
chromosome end duplication problem
The last replicated RNA primer on the DNA substrands at both ends of the chromosome is removed, leaving a gap. If the remaining single-stranded parent strand of DNA is not filled into double strands, it will be enzymatically digested by DNase in the nucleus, and the chromosomes will become shorter and shorter after repeated replications (such as some lower organisms)

composition

telomerase reverse transcriptase
Function
An enzyme responsible for the extension of telomeres in cells is a basic nucleoprotein reverse transcriptase. It can add telomeric DNA to the ends of eukaryotic cell chromosomes, fill in the telomeres lost during DNA replication, and extend telomere repair. , which prevents telomeres from being lost due to cell division and increases the number of cell divisions.
Mechanism of action
crawling model
Textbook P245
personal understanding
Telomerase first extends the parent strand (by reverse transcription), and then uses the parent strand as a template to extend the daughter strand (recruiting DNA pol)
Telomerase activity is not necessarily proportional to telomere length
Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA can only be replicated once per cell cycle
concept
Replication only occurs in phase S and can only be replicated once
The initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells occurs in two steps
Selection of replicator genes
period
Appeared in G1 phase
Features
Each replicating locus in the genome is assembled into a prereplication complex
Activation of replication origin
period
Appears only after S phase
Features
Will activate pre-RC, recruit several replication gene binding proteins and DNA polymerase, and initiate DNA unwinding
consistent with cell cycle progression
The level of cyclin D increases in the late G1 phase, activating CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase) in S phase. The replication permission factor is a substrate of CDK and is necessary to initiate DNA replication. Replication-permitting factors generally cannot enter the nucleus through the nuclear membrane, but they can enter the nucleus at the end of mitosis and before the nuclear membrane is reorganized, and bind to the origin of DNA replication. Waiting for CDK to be stimulated to enter S phase to activate and initiate replication. Once replication is initiated, replication-permitting factors can become inactive or degraded. During other times of the cell cycle, new replication permission factors cannot enter the nucleus, ensuring that only one genome replication can occur during a cell cycle.
Eukaryotic mitochondrial DNA replicates in a D-loop manner
Features
The origin of replication is not at the same site on the double-stranded DNA, and there are differences in the timing of inner and outer loop replication.

The RNA in the hybrid double strand is hydrolyzed by the RNase active component of reverse transcriptase
