Replication in Prokaryotes

27.9K
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.

Histone Modification02:32

Histone Modification

16.1K
The histone proteins have a flexible N-terminal tail extending out from the nucleosome. These histone tails are often subjected to post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Particular combinations of these modifications form “histone codes” that influence the chromatin folding and tissue-specific gene expression.
Acetylation
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase adds acetyl group to the histones. Another enzyme, histone...

Chromosome Replication02:31

Chromosome Replication

10.6K
Before a cell can divide, it must accurately replicate all of its chromosomes, including the DNA and its associated histone and non-histone proteins.  This process begins at numerous origins of replication during the S phase of the cell cycle in each of a cell’s chromosomes simultaneously. Certain nucleotides can act as origins of replication, but these sequences are not well defined - especially in complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic species. The length of DNA that spans an origin...

DNA Replication02:40

DNA Replication

59.3K
DNA replication involves the separation of the two strands of the double helix, with each strand serving as a template from which the new complementary strand is copied.  After replication, each double-stranded DNA includes one parental or “old” strand and one “new” strand. This is known as semiconservative replication. The resulting DNA molecules have the same sequence and are divided equally into the two daughter cells.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Cell Biology
  • Hepatitis C Research

Background:

  • The JFH-1 strain and HuH-7 cells form a standard system for studying the complete Hepatitis C virus (HCV) life cycle.
  • However, utilizing multiple HCV strains in cell culture is crucial for comprehensive research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a novel, replication-competent cell culture system for the J6CF strain of Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
  • To identify cell culture-adaptive mutations enabling J6CF replication in vitro.
  • To provide a strategy for developing replication-competent strains of other HCV genotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of the J6CF HCV strain through cell culture passage.
  • Identification of key adaptive mutations conferring replication competence.
  • Validation of the modified J6CF strain in the HuH-7 cell line.

Main Results:

  • A replication-competent J6CF HCV strain was successfully established with minimal genetic modifications.
  • The developed cell culture system supports the replication of a previously non-replicating HCV genotype 2a strain.
  • The identified mutations and strategy are applicable to adapting other HCV strains.

Conclusions:

  • A novel and effective cell culture system for the J6CF strain of Hepatitis C virus has been established.
  • This advancement facilitates the study of diverse HCV genotypes in vitro.
  • The methodology offers a valuable approach for generating replication-competent strains of other HCV isolates for future research.
