The Replisome03:01

The Replisome

35.5K
DNA replication is carried out by a large complex of proteins that act in a coordinated matter to achieve high-fidelity DNA replication. Together this complex is known as the DNA replication machinery or the replisome.
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

2.6K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.0K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

9.6K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

Protein Complex Assembly

12.3K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Background:

  • The DNA prereplication complex (pre-RC) is essential for initiating DNA replication.
  • Its role in developmental processes beyond DNA replication is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel function of pre-RC proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans development.
  • To elucidate the mechanism by which pre-RC proteins influence anchor cell invasion and vulval development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized genetic analysis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
  • Investigated the role of specific pre-RC proteins in anchor cell invasion and basement membrane penetration.
  • Observed the initiation of vulval development.

Main Results:

  • Proteins of the DNA prereplication complex were found to promote anchor cell invasion.
  • These proteins facilitate the penetration of the basement membrane.
  • This action is critical for initiating vulval development in C. elegans.

Conclusions:

  • The DNA prereplication complex has a previously unrecognized function in developmental processes.
  • Pre-RC proteins play a key role in enabling anchor cell invasion and subsequent vulval development.
  • This discovery expands our understanding of pre-RC protein functions beyond DNA replication.
