DNA replication at high resolution.
Several decades of research have delineated the roles of many proteins central to DNA replication. Here we present a structural perspective of this work spanning the past 15 years and highlight several recent advances in the field.
متن کاملHigh-resolution analysis of DNA synthesis start sites and nucleosome architecture at efficient mammalian replication origins.
DNA replication origins are poorly characterized genomic regions that are essential to recruit and position the initiation complex to start DNA synthesis. Despite the lack of specific replicator sequences, initiation of replication does not occur at random sites in the mammalian genome. This has lead to the view that DNA accessibility could be a major determinant of mammalian origins. Here, we ...
متن کاملDNA replication-timing analysis of human chromosome 22 at high resolution and different developmental states.
Duplication of the genome during the S phase of the cell cycle does not occur simultaneously; rather, different sequences are replicated at different times. The replication timing of specific sequences can change during development; however, the determinants of this dynamic process are poorly understood. To gain insights into the contribution of developmental state, genomic sequence, and transc...
متن کاملHigh-resolution analysis of DNA replication in released chromatin fibers containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine.
A strategy has been devised to physically map replication sites in released chromatin of mammalian cells. When added to the culture medium, 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is incorporated into replicating DNA, partially replacing thymidine. BrdU pulses as short as one minute can be visualized on preparations of straightened chromatin fibers from protein-extracted nuclei by means of monoclonal anti-B...
متن کاملCrystal structure of a prokaryotic replication initiator protein bound to DNA at 2.6 A resolution.
The initiator protein (RepE) of F factor, a plasmid involved in sexual conjugation in Escherichia coli, has dual functions during the initiation of DNA replication which are determined by whether it exists as a dimer or as a monomer. A RepE monomer functions as a replication initiator, but a RepE dimer functions as an autogenous repressor. We have solved the crystal structure of the RepE monome...
