DNA as a Genetic Template

22.1K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Chromosome Replication02:31

Chromosome Replication

8.8K
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...

Lagging Strand Synthesis01:59

Lagging Strand Synthesis

38.0K
During replication, the complementary strands in double-stranded DNA are synthesized at different rates. Replication first begins on the leading strand. Replication starts later, occurs more slowly, and proceeds discontinuously on the lagging strand.
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

The DNA Helix01:07

The DNA Helix

19.8K
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material responsible for passing traits from generation to generation in all organisms and most viruses. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides that wind around each other to form a spring-like structure called a double helix. However, the double helix is not perfectly symmetrical. Instead, there are regularly occurring grooves in the structure. The major groove occurs where the sugar-phosphate backbones are relatively far apart. This space...

Resumen

La luz ultravioleta causa daño al ADN a través de los dímeros de pirimidina de ciclobutano (CPD). La Y-familia de ADN polimerasa eta (pol eta) evita estas lesiones, y su estructura se aclaró utilizando Dpo4, un homólogo arqueal.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
  • La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
  • Genética La genética.

Sus antecedentes:

  • La radiación ultravioleta (UV) induce daños en el ADN, formando principalmente dímeros de pirimidina de ciclobutano cis-sín (CPD).
  • Las CPD impiden la replicación del ADN por las polimerasas de alta fidelidad, lo que requiere mecanismos de derivación especializados.
  • Los defectos en el gen que codifica la ADN polimerasa eta (POLH) están relacionados con el xeroderma pigmentosum, una enfermedad que causa sensibilidad solar extrema y predisposición al cáncer de piel.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para aclarar la base estructural de cómo la ADN polimerasa eta de la familia Y evita los dímeros de pirimidina de ciclobutano (CPD).
  • Comprender el mecanismo de la reparación del ADN y el bypass de la replicación de las lesiones del ADN inducidas por rayos UV.

Principales métodos:

  • Se determinaron dos estructuras cristalinas de Dpo4, un homólogo arqueal de polieta, en complejo con ADN que contiene CPD.
  • Se analizaron las interacciones entre Dpo4, CPD y nucleótidos entrantes.

Principales resultados:

  • La timina 3' de la CPD ha templado un par de bases de Watson-Crick con el dideoxyATP.
  • La timina 5' de la CPD tiene como plantilla un par de bases Hoogsteen con dideoxyATP en la conformación síncrona.
  • El sitio activo de Dpo4 acomoda estas inusuales estructuras de ADN para la catálisis.

Conclusiones:

  • La estructura de Dpo4 proporciona información sobre el mecanismo de la derivación de la CPD por las polimerasas de la familia Y.
  • Un modelo del complejo polita-CPD sugiere características estructurales únicas que permiten una eficiente derivación de CPD.
  • Comprender la función de la polita es crucial para comprender la reparación del ADN y prevenir la mutagénesis inducida por los rayos UV.
