Replication
• Occurs during cell division• Must be accurate

Semiconservative Replication
• Each strand serves as a template for new strand
• Each new molecule has one parent strand and one new strand

Replication Process
• Replication begins when proteins bind to replication origin– Specific genomic sequence
• DNA Helicase unwinds double helix• Strands kept apart by single stranded
binding proteins• Replication goes in both directions from
origin

Details
• DNA is always synthesized 5’ to 3’– Nucleotides added to 3’ end by DNA
polymerase III• Primase makes RNA primer allowing
DNA polymerase to start elongation– Polymerase III can’t start a new strand
itself

Synthesis
• Because DNA is made 5’ to 3’, only one strand is synthesized continuously– Leading strand
• Other strand is built discontinuously– Lagging strand– Built in small fragments called Okazaki
fragments

Finishing Touches
• DNA polymerase I removes RNA primers– Replaces them
with nucleotides• DNA ligase joins
Okazaki fragments

Repair
• Polymerase I and polymerase III act as quality control– Proofread sequence against template
• These enzymes can act as exonucleases– Backtrack and remove incorrect nucleotide,
replacing it with correct one
