History of DNA
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick
Described the DOUBLIX HELIX STRUCTURE of DNA

What is DNA?
• DNA, the substance of inheritance
DNA directs the development of many different traits by using a chemical language
Terms
1. Chromosome – one molecule of DNA & associated protein
2. Genome – collection of ALL of the DNA in a given cell (Humans have 46 chromosomes in genome)
3. GENE – portion of DNA that encodes a single protein

Evidence that DNA is genetic material
Scientists first worked out by studying bacteria and the viruses that infect them
1. Griffith studied Streptococcus pneumoniae (bacteria that causes pneumonia in mammals)
– He used a pathogenic strain (called S b/c it’s encapsulated) and a nonpathogenic strain (called R b/c it’s not protected.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Griffith found that when he mixed heat-killed remains of the pathogenic strain
– With living cells of the nonpathogenic strain, some of these living cells became pathogenic
– He called this phenomenon TRANSFORMATION Bacteria of the “S” (smooth) strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae are pathogenic because they have a capsule that protects them from an animal’s defense system. Bacteria of the “R” (rough) strain lack a capsule and are nonpathogenic. Frederick Griffith injected mice with the two strains as shown below:
Griffith concluded that the living R bacteria had been transformed into pathogenic S bacteria by anunknown, heritable substance from the dead S cells.

3. Chargaff analyzed the base composition of DNA
Concluded that DNA composition varies from one species to the next (evidence of diversity)
Chargaff’s ratio rule’s for HUMANS:
A: 30.3% G: 19.5%
T: 30.3% C: 19.9%

Evidence of the Structure of DNA
1. Wilkins & Franklin used a technique called
X-ray crystallography to study the structure
(a) Rosalind Franklin Franklin’s X-ray diffractionPhotograph of DNA
(b)Figure 16.6 a, b
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Franklin had concluded that DNA
– Composed of two antiparallel sugar-phosphate backbones, with the nitrogenous bases paired in the molecule’s interior
• The nitrogenous bases
– Are paired in specific combinations: adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine

2. Watson and Crick deduced that DNA was a double helix
– Through observations of the X-ray crystallographic images of DNA
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Watson and Crick reasoned that there must be additional specificity of pairing
– Dictated by the structure of the bases
• Each base pair forms a different number of hydrogen bonds
– Adenine and thymine form two bonds, cytosine and guanine form three bonds

DNA REPLICATION
1. Definition – manufacture of an EXACT copy of DNA molecule
2. Process of DNA replication
A. Parts
1. DNA to be replicated (called parent)
2. Enzymes
1. DNA polymerase (adds nucleotides)
2. Helicase (unwinds the double helix)
3. Single stranded binding proteins (hold DNA open)
4. Primase (begins replication by laying down small “RNA primer”)
5. Ligase (seals the gaps in DNA)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Other Proteins That Assist DNA Replication
• Helicase, topoisomerase, single-strand binding protein
– Are all proteins that assist DNA replication
Table 16.1
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• In DNA replication
– The parent molecule unwinds, and two new daughter strands are built based on base-pairing rules
(a) The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C.
(b) The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands.
(c) Each parental strand now serves as a template that determines the order of nucleotides along a new, complementary strand.
(d) The nucleotides are connected to form the sugar-phosphate backbones of the new strands. Each “daughter” DNA molecule consists of one parental strand and one new strand.

DNA REPLICATION
B. Steps
1. Open the complementary DNA strands to expose the nucleotide nitrogenous bases
Requires enzyme HELICASE (unwind) & SSB’s (to keep strands apart)
2. Prime the DNA strands
Enzyme PRIMASE – forms a very small piece of RNA called RNA primer (DNA polymerase grabs the 3’ OH end of RNA primer)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
DNA REPLICATION
3. Polymerize DNA
DNA polymerize aligns appropriate nucleotides across from the template strand (must have RNA primer to use free –OH to start)
Rules:
1. NEW strands are built in 5’ to 3’ direction
2. All strands that form pairings must be in opposite direction
3. Leading strand is built continuously & needs only 1 primer
4. Lagging strand is built in segments & needs primer for each individual segment

After reaching the next RNA primer (not shown), DNA pol III falls off.
3
After the second fragment is primed. DNA pol III adds DNAnucleotides until it reaches the first primer and falls off.
4
DNA pol 1 replaces the RNA with DNA, adding to the 3 end of fragment 2.

DNA ligase forms a bond between the newest DNAand the adjacent DNA of fragment 1.

4. Lagging Strand
1. Helicase opens DNA
2. SSB’s hold them apart
3. Primase lays down RNA primer
4. DNA polymerase forms new DNA strands in segments called OKAZAKI FRAGMENTS (5’ to 3’)

Overall direction of replication
One new strand, the leading strand,can elongate continuously 5 3 as the replication fork progresses.
2
The other new strand, thelagging strand must grow in an overall3 5 direction by addition of shortsegments, Okazaki fragments, that grow5 3 (numbered here in the orderthey were made).
3
DNA ligase joins Okazakifragments by forming a bond betweentheir free ends. This results in a continuous strand.

5. Fill in the gaps
a. Second DNA polymerase “chews out” the RNA primer and fills those areas with DNA
b. DNA ligase “seals” the gaps
FINAL RESULT
2 double stranded DNA molecules identical to each other & identical to their parental molecule
SEMICONSERVATIVE REPLICATION – each daughter is ½ old & ½ new

Getting Started: Origins of Replication
• The replication of a DNA molecule
– Begins at special sites called origins of replication, where the two strands are separated
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• A eukaryotic chromosome
– May have hundreds or even thousands of replication origins
Replication begins at specific siteswhere the two parental strandsseparate and form replicationbubbles.
The bubbles expand laterally, asDNA replication proceeds in bothdirections.
Eventually, the replicationbubbles fuse, and synthesis ofthe daughter strands iscomplete.

5 DNA pol I removes the primer from the 5 endof the second fragment, replacing it with DNAnucleotides that it adds one by one to the 3 endof the third fragment. The replacement of thelast RNA nucleotide with DNA leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone with a free 3 end.

• Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecules
– Have at their ends nucleotide sequences, called telomeres, that postpone the erosion of genes near the ends of DNA molecules
Figure 16.19 1 µm
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• If the chromosomes of germ cells became shorter in every cell cycle
– Essential genes would eventually be missing from the gametes they produce
• An enzyme called telomerase
– Catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres in germ cells
