1 Relationship between Genotype and Phenotype
Molecular Basis for Relationship between Genotype and Phenotype genotype DNA DNA sequence transcription replication RNA translation amino acid sequence protein function phenotype organism

2 Replisome and Accessory Proteins
Looping of template DNA for the lagging strand allows the two new strands to be synthesized by one dimer. pol III holoenzyme is a complex of many different proteins. Refer to Figure 7-20 from Introduction to Genetic Analysis, Griffiths et al., 2012.

3 DNA polymerases can extend (but cannot start) a chain.
Priming DNA Synthesis DNA polymerases can extend (but cannot start) a chain. Primase enzyme makes short RNA primer sequence complementary to template DNA. DNA polymerase extends RNA primer with DNA. Primosome is a set of proteins that are involved in the synthesis of RNA primers. Refer to Figure 7-20 from Introduction to Genetic Analysis, Griffiths et al., 2012.

4 Supercoiling results from separation of template strands during DNA replication.

5 Helicases and Topoisomerases
Helicase enzymes disrupt hydrogen bonding between complementary bases. Single-stranded binding protein stabilizes unwound DNA. Unwound condition increases twisting and coiling, which can be relaxed by topoisomerases (such as DNA gyrase). Topoisomerases can either create or relax supercoiling. They can also induce or remove knots.

6 Nucleosome assembly follows thereafter.
Chromatin assembly factor I (CAF-I) and histones are delivered to the replication fork. CAF-I and histones bind to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the eukaryotic version of clamp protein. Nucleosome assembly follows thereafter. Refer to Figure 7-23 from Introduction to Genetic Analysis, Griffiths et al., 2012.

7 Overview of DNA Synthesis
DNA polymerases synthesize new strands in 5’ to 3’ direction. Primase makes RNA primer. Lagging strand DNA consists of Okazaki fragments. In E. coli, pol I fills in gaps in the lagging strand and removes RNA primer. Fragments are joined by DNA ligase.
