Comparison of pausing during transcription and replication.
Pausing during the transcription of MDV-1 cDNA by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase was compared with pausing during the replication of MDV-1 RNA by Q beta replicase. MDV-1 RNA is able to form many strong hairpin structures, and Q beta replicase pauses after the synthesis of each [Mills et al. (1978) Cell 15, 541-550]. Although the transcripts were virtually identical to MDV-1 RNA, the locations ...
متن کاملPolymerase Dynamics at the Eukaryotic DNA Replication
This review discusses recent insights in the roles of DNA polymerases (Pol) and in eukaryotic DNA replication. A growing body of evidence specifies Pol as the leading strand DNA polymerase and Pol as the lagging strand polymerase during undisturbed DNA replication. New evidence supporting this model comes from the use of polymerase mutants that show an asymmetric mutator phenotype for certain m...
متن کاملForce-induced DNA slippage.
DNA containing repetitive sequences displays richer dynamics than heterogeneous sequences. In the genome the number of repeat units of repetitive sequences, known as microsatellites, may vary during replication by DNA slippage and their expansion gives rise to serious disorders. We studied the mechanical properties of repetitive DNA using dynamic force spectroscopy and found striking difference...
متن کاملRegulation of activator/dissociation transposition by replication and DNA methylation.
In maize the transposable elements Activator/Dissociation (Ac/Ds) transpose shortly after replication from one of the two resulting chromatids ("chromatid selectivity"). A model has been suggested that explains this phenomenon as a consequence of different affinity for Ac transposase binding to holo-, hemi-, and unmethylated transposon ends. Here we demonstrate that in petunia cells a holomethy...
متن کاملDNA Replication: A familiar ring to DNA polymerase processivity
Structural similarity reveals that prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA polymerases share a mechanism for processivity--but the conservation of additional chromosomal replication mechanisms remains to be determined.
