VIII. DNA Function: Replication VIII. DNA Function: Replication A. Recap - occurs in the S-phase of Interphase - unreplicated chromosomes, each consisting of a complementary doublehelix, is REPLICATED: produce a chromosomes with 2 identical chromatids. - Once DNA replication has occurred, cells will proceed to division.

Hypotheses C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - They grew E. coli for many generations on an agar where the available Nitrogen was a heavy isotope. The heavy nitrogen was incorporated into NEW DNA that is synthesized by the cell. C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - They grew E. coli for many generations on an agar where the available Nitrogen was a heavy isotope. The heavy nitrogen was incorporated into NEW DNA that is synthesized by the cell. When the DNA is spun in a centrifuge, it spins down ‘far’ C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - Then, grew bacteria on an N15 medium for 1 generation and took samples. What banding pattern would you expect to see under each of the three hypotheses? C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - Then, grew bacteria on an N15 medium for 1 generation and took samples. What banding pattern would you expect to see under each of the three hypotheses? - Results refuted the conservative hypothesis. C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - Then, grew bacteria on an N15 medium for 1 generation and took samples. What banding pattern would you expect to see under each of the three hypotheses? - Results refuted the conservative hypothesis. - Grew bacteria for a second generation on N14 medium…. Predictions of 2 models? C. The Meselson and Stahl Experiment (1958) - Then, grew bacteria on an N15 medium for 1 generation and took samples. What banding pattern would you expect to see under each of the three hypotheses? - Results refuted the conservative hypothesis. - Grew bacteria for a second generation on N14 medium…. Predictions of 2 models? - Results refuted the dispersive model and confirmed the semi-conservative model. D. Replication at the Molecular Level D. Replication at the Molecular Level 1. Replication in E. coli a. A specific sequence of bases is recognized as the binding site for the replication complex – this is called the Replication Origin, and the DNA replicated from this site is called a replicon. D. Replication at the Molecular Level 1. Replication in E. coli a. A specific sequence of bases is recognized as the binding site for the replication complex – this is called the Replication Origin, and the DNA replicated from this site is called a replicon. - Bacteria have only a single replication origin, and the entire circular chromosome is replicated from this point. 1. Replication in E. coli a. Replication Origin has 9-mers and 13mers – homologous sequences… b. Three enzymes (DNaA,B, C), collectively called “helicases” bind to the origin and break the hydrogen bonds holding the helices together. “Single-strand binding proteins” stabilize the DNA. 1.

Three enzymes (DNaA,B, C), collectively called “helicases” bind to the origin and break the hydrogen bonds holding the helices together. “Single-strand binding proteins” stabilize the DNA. c. The enzyme gyrase works downstream, cutting single or double strands to relieved the torque on the molecule. (topoisomerases affect shape).
