Chapter 7: DNA structure and replication
FROM GENE TO PROTEIN
Replication: DNA-dependent DNA synthesis; DNA polymerase and associated proteins; DNA template, dNTPs
Transcription: DNA-dependent RNA synthesis; RNA polymerase and associated proteins; DNA template, NTPs
Translation: RNA-dependent polypeptide synthesis; ribosome and associated molecules; mRNA, ribosomes,aminoacyl-tRNA

Avery, MacLeod & McCarty (1944): Griffith’s “transforming principle” is DNA

Background information available to Watson & Crick in construction of their double-helical DNA model
1. E. Chargaff’s “rule” (A=T, G=C)
Background information available to Watson & Crick in construction of their double-helical DNA model
1. E. Chargaff’s “rule” (A=T, G=C)
2. Wilkins & Franklin’s x-ray diffraction data (suggested strongly helical, probably double-helical structure)

DNA double helix is stabilized by:
1. Hydrophobic interactions among bases
2. Hydrophilic interactions of PO4 with aqueous environment
3. Hydrogen bonds between complementary
bases (A-T pair, two H bonds; G-C pair,
three H bonds)

Potential modes of DNA replication

Fig. 7-15
5’-3’ synthesis of DNA proceeds by 3’ extension and complementary base
pairing

Replication fork dynamics creates polarity problems in lagging strand synthesis
Fig. 7-17
Fig. 7-18
Replication fork dynamics depends upon cooperative activities of a variety
of proteins
Fig. 7-22
Chromosome replication is carried out by expansion of “bubbles”
Fig. 7-24
DNA synthesis creates problems at chromosome ends
Ever-shortening 5’ ends
Fig. 7-25
Telomerase is special DNA polymerase that maintains chromosome ends
Telomeres consist of high-copy number, simple sequence repeats

Human haploid genome 1 m of DNA (about 2 m DNA per somatic cell*) (about 4.3 cm DNA per chromosome)
* ~1013 somatic cells per average human
~ 2 x 1013 m of DNA per average human (nearly 100 round trips to the sun!!)

Average human nucleus ~ 6 μm diameter
Eukaryotic DNA is densely packaged
