1 Do Now  What is replication?  Where does this take place?

2 DNA Replication!

3 Objectives  Explain what replication is and why it must occur in our bodies.  List the different enzymes involved in each step of replication and what they do.  Compare and contrast leading vs. lagging strands.

5 Semiconservative Replication  Parental strands of DNA separate  Each strand serve as template  DNA molecules produced have one strand of parental DNA (old) and one daughter strand (new)

6 Enzymes involved  Helicase- Unzips the DNA strand.  Primase- RNA Primer (tells the next enzyme where to begin!)  DNA polymerase- adds nucleotides.  DNA ligase- links together fragments.

7 Steps to DNA Replication 1. Unwinding  DNA helicase (enzyme) unwinds and unzips the DNA – breaking the hydrogen bonds between the strands  Single-stranded binding proteins - go to DNA strand to keep them separated during replication.  RNA primase adds a short segment of RNA, called an RNA primer, on each DNA strand.

8 Steps to DNA replication DNA unwinds at different spots (Origins) At the replication fork, an enzyme (Helicase) breaks the hydrogen bonds between the bases.

9 Steps to DNA Replication 2. Base Pairing  DNA polymerase (enzyme) adds complementary nucleotides to parent DNA strand  Only adds in the 5’ to 3’ direction.

10 2. Base Pairing (cont.)  Two daughter strands of DNA are made differently  Leading Strand- Elongated as the DNA unwinds.  Built continuously with out breaks  Lagging Strand- Elongates away from replication fork.  Built discontinuously  makes several small fragments of DNA called Okazaki Fragments

11 Leading and Lagging Strands

12 Steps to DNA Replication 3. Joining  DNA Polymerase removes RNA Primer and fills it in place with DNA nucleotides  DNA ligase links the Okazaki Fragments.

13 DNA Replication

14 Mistakes in DNA  DNA replication takes a lot of energy.  During replication, mistakes are made. (mutations)  Enzymes “proof read” and repair the mistakes.

15 Eukaryotes VS. Prokaryotes  Eukaryotic DNA unwinds in multiple areas as DNA is replicated.  In prokaryotes, the circular DNA strand is opened at one origin of replication.
