Replication in Eukaryotes

15.1K
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is highly conserved and tightly regulated. Multiple linear chromosomes must be duplicated with high fidelity before cell division, so there are many proteins that fulfill specialized roles in the replication process. Replication occurs in three phases: initiation, elongation, and termination, and ends with two complete sets of chromosomes in the nucleus.

Replicative Cell Senescence02:15

Replicative Cell Senescence

3.5K
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...

Cells Coordinate Growth and Proliferation

3.8K
Cell size is a significant factor impacting cellular design, function, and fitness. There exists some internal coordination by which cells double their masses before division, thus, achieving homeostasis. Coordination between cell growth and proliferation depends on the checkpoints in between cell cycle phases. Loss of coordination or failure in the checkpoint mechanism can drive the cell to uncontrolled growth and loss of cellular function. Like dividing cells that coordinate cellular growth,...

Replication in Prokaryotes

20.1K
DNA replication has three main steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Replication in prokaryotes begins when initiator proteins bind to the single origin of replication (ori) on the cell's circular chromosome. Replication then proceeds around the entire circle of the chromosome in each direction from the two replication forks, resulting in two DNA molecules.
Many Proteins Work Together to Replicate the Chromosome
Replication is coordinated and carried out by a host of specialized...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Cellular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Understanding the mechanisms of aging is crucial for human health.
  • Model organisms, such as budding yeast, are vital for aging research.
  • Replicative life span in yeast is defined by the number of cell divisions before senescence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize factors that modulate longevity.
  • To define pathways influencing life span using budding yeast as a model.
  • To describe a method for determining yeast replicative life span.

Main Methods:

  • Performed replicative life span analysis on thousands of yeast strains over ten years.
  • Grew individual yeast cells on solid media.
  • Monitored cells from the undivided state until senescence.
  • Manually removed and quantified daughter cells using a fiber optic needle.

Main Results:

  • Identified several hundred genes that influence yeast replicative longevity.
  • Established a robust method for quantifying replicative life span.
  • Provided a foundation for further research into aging pathways.

Conclusions:

  • Budding yeast is a powerful model system for aging research.
  • The study identified numerous genes impacting longevity.
  • The described method enables large-scale analysis of replicative life span.
