• Total cell DNA = genome (chromosome & extra-chromosomal)
• Human genome = 4 billion bp– 1000x as large as E. coli genome
– 90% junk DNA
– ~8x more genes: 30,000 (human) vs. 4,000 (E. coli)
• Bacterial genomes = 0.6–9.4 Mbp
– Genome of bacteria usually circular• Seldom linear, segmented

Bacterial Genetic OrganizationBacterial Genetic Organization
• E. coli genome– regulatory
• promoter/operator, signal sequences
– coding sequences– Average 1000 bases per bacterial
gene– Organized on both strands– Operons and regulons– Monocistron vs Polycistron
organization– Overlapping genes => ribosomal
frameshifting

DNA is an antiparallel double helixDNA is an antiparallel double helix
• Geometry of bases and their spacial arrangement to form H-bond cause helix structure of dsDNA
• B-form DNA
• pairing bases stack at the centre
• backbone intertwined• creates minor and major grooves
• 0.34 nm (3.4 A) rise per base pair
• one full helix turn houses 10 nucleotides

Supercoiling Compacts DNASupercoiling Compacts DNA
• Unsupercoiled DNA = 1 winding for 10 bases• Positive supercoils– Winding more frequently • Overwinding
• Negative supercoils– Winding less frequently• Underwinding
• Supercoils twist DNA• Why supercoils are important?– Eubacteria => less frequent winding– Extreme thermophiles => more frequent winding

Topoisomerases Regulate SupercoilsTopoisomerases Regulate Supercoils
• Type I Topoisomerases – Relieve torsional stress caused by
supercoils– Act on one strand, How?
• Type II Topoisomerases (DNA gyrase)– Unwind dsDNA– Introduce negative supercoils– Act on both strands of dsDNA, How?
• Archaeal topoisomerases– Reverse topoisomerases– Introduce positive supercoils

Topoisomerase ITopoisomerase I• Single protein, nicks one strand• Allows passages of the other strand through single strand
break• Releaves accumulated positive supercoils ahead of
replicating DNA

Topoisomerase II (DNA Gyrase)Topoisomerase II (DNA Gyrase)
• two subunits, GyrB and GyrA• GyrB binds DNA, passes to GyrA• GyrA introduces double strand break– 2 ATP hydrolysed– Remains transiently attached
• Passes other dsDNA through break• Reseals the ds break• A negative writhe introduced

DNA ReplicationDNA ReplicationSemiconservative replication• Copies information from one strand to a new,
complementary strand– Dividing cells receive one parental strand and one
newly synthesized strand
– Melt double-stranded DNA– Polymerize new strand complementary to each melted
single strand

Replication Begins at Replication Begins at oriCoriC• Timing: Dam methylation at
A of GATC (ie. GAN6mTC)• SeqA binds to hemi
methylated duplex at OriC• Full methylation following
cell division and loss of SeqA affinity
• DnaA concentration rises• Binds to 9-mer repeats at
OriCOriC: 245 bp contining 9-mer repeats, with 13-mer repeats in betweenDnaA binding, strand melting at 13-mer by RNAP

Polymerase Proceeds 5 3 on Each Strand
• Energy for polymerization comes from phosphate groups on added base.– Must add new base to 3OH of a chain– New nucleic acids grow to extend 3 end

Each Fork Has Two Strands
• Steady growth of new “leading” strand– Leading strand follows helicase
• Lagging strand: discontinuous, needs intermittent release and reloading of replisome

• High-copy-number plasmids – Up to 700 copies per cell– Divide continuously– Randomly segregate to daughter cells
