Epigenetic control of DNA replication dynamics in mammals.
Every time a cell divides it must ensure that its genetic information is accurately duplicated and dis-tributed equally to the two daughter cells. This fundamental biological process is conserved through-out all kingdoms of life and relies on the correct and complete duplication of the DNA before a cell can divide and give rise to other cells or to multicellular organisms. Any mistakes in this ...
متن کاملDNA replication checkpoint control.
The eukaryotic cell cycle comprises two critical phases, DNA replication (S phase) and the subsequent distribution of an equivalent genome to each of two daughter cells at mitosis (M phase). A signal transduction cascade called the replication checkpoint has evolved to ensure that M phase does not occur prior to the completion of S phase. The mitotic regulators targeted by this checkpoint have ...
متن کاملGenomic specification and epigenetic regulation of eukaryotic DNA replication origins.
Identification of DNA replication origins (ORIs) at a genome-wide level in eukaryotes has proved to be difficult due to the high degree of degeneracy of their sequences. Recent structural and functional approaches, however, have circumvented this limitation and have provided reliable predictions of their genomic distribution in the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, ...
متن کاملReplication of colicinogenic factor E 1 DNA: evidence for a discontinuous replication mechanism.
The mechanism of Col E 1 DNA replication was investigated in a plasmolysed cell system prepared from chloramphenicoltreated E. coli JC 411 (Col E 1). After pulse-labelling with (3)H-dTTP a considerable fraction of the newly synthesized DNA was recovered as single-stranded fragments. Upon alkali denaturation the pulse label was found in DNA chains sedimenting slower than unit length Col E 1 stra...
متن کاملReplication of Structured DNA and its implication in epigenetic stability
DNA replication is an extremely risky process that cells have to endure in order to correctly duplicate and segregate their genome. This task is particularly sensitive to DNA damage and multiple mechanisms have evolved to protect DNA replication as a block to the replication fork could lead to genomic instability and possibly cell death. The DNA in the genome folds, for the most part, into the ...
