DNA polymerase III = DNA Pol III
• Discovered in extracts of polA- cells, i.e. lacking DNA Pol I
• DNA Pol III is the replicative polymerase• Loss-of-function mutations in the genes
encoding its subunits block DNA replication (dna mutants)
• Highly processive• Multiple subunits• Also discovered DNA Pol II in polA- extracts
(role in DNA repair)

Processivity
• Amount of polymerization catalyzed by an enzyme each time it binds to a template.
• Measured in nucleotides polymerized per initiation
• High processivity of DNA Pol III results from activities of non-polymerase subunits

Subassemblies have distinct functions
'Ψ
Leading strand synthesis
Lagging strand synthesis
Pol III* subassembly lacks the beta sliding clamp.
The γ complex loads and unloads the beta clamp, cyclically for lagging strand synthesis.
![Page 7: DNA polymerase III](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56816331550346895dd3b60c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Processivity factor beta2: Sliding clamp
• The subunit forms a homodimer.• The structure of this homodimer is a ring.• The ring encloses DNA, thereby clamping
the DNA Pol III holoenzyme to the template.• An enzyme that is clamped on cannot come
off easily, and thus will be highly processive.
![Page 8: DNA polymerase III](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56816331550346895dd3b60c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Gamma complex: Clamp loader/unloader
• The complex (2') loads the dimer clamp onto a primer-template.– Bind the clamp ( dimer) onto the loader (
complex): need ATP– Exchange the clamp from the loader to the core:
need ATP hydrolysis– Unload the clamp when polymerase reaches a
previously synthesized Okazaki fragment: need ATP
• The ATP-bound form of the complex can bind the clamp
• The ADP-bound form releases the clamp

Asymmetric dimer of DNA PolIII: simultaneous replication of both strands of DNA
• The 2 catalytic cores of DNA Pol III are joined by the tau subunits to make an asymmetric dimer.
• Model: one holoenzyme synthesizes both strands at a replication fork.– One core synthesizes the leading strand– Other synthesizes the lagging strand.– If the template for lagging strand synthesis is
looped around the enzyme, then both strands are synthesized in the direction of fork movement.

DNA helicases
• Unwind the DNA duplex as the replication fork moves.
• Use ATP: Hydrolyze 2 ATPs to 2ADP+2Pi for every base pair that is unwound.
• In addition, helicases move along single stranded DNA with a specific polarity; referred to as tracking.

Single-stranded binding protein (SSB)
• Encoded by the ssb gene in E. coli.• Loss-of-function mutants in ssb have a quick-stop
phenotype for DNA synthesis. They are also defective in repair and recombination.
• Binds cooperatively to single-stranded DNA to prevent reannealing to the complementary strand.
• SSB is a homo-tetramer, monomer is 74 kDa• Eukaryotic RFA (analog to SSB) is a heterotrimer.
![Page 24: DNA polymerase III](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56816331550346895dd3b60c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Topoisomerases• Topoisomerase I: relaxes DNA
– Transient break in one strand of duplex DNA– E. coli: nicking-closing enzyme– Calf thymus Topo I
• Topoisomerase II: introduces negative superhelical turns – Breaks both strands of the DNA and passes
another part of the duplex DNA through the break; then reseals the break.
– Uses energy of ATP hydrolysis– E. coli: gyrase

DNA ligases
• Join together the Okazaki fragments during lagging strand synthesis
• Tie together a nick

Primase
• Synthesizes short oligonucleotides from which DNA polymerases can begin synthesis.– Combination of ribonucleotides and
deoxyribonucleotides• Does not itself require a primer.• E. coli primase is DnaG, 60 kDa• Acts within a large primosome.
![Page 28: DNA polymerase III](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56816331550346895dd3b60c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Primers made by DnaG
• Primers can be as short as 6 nt, as long as 60 nt.
• Can substitute dNTPs for rNTPs in all except 1st and 2nd positions– Make hybrid primers with dNMPs and rNMPs
interspersed.• Primase binds to CTG
– T serves as template for 1st nucleotide of primer.

Rate of fork movement
• E. coli: 50,000 bp per min• Plants and animals: 1000 to 3000 bp per
min• Need many origins for replication of large
genomes
