The mechanism of DNA replication
Arthur Kornberg, a Nobel prize winner and
other biochemists deduced steps of
replication
– Initiation
• Proteins bind to DNA and open up double helix
• Prepare DNA for complementary base pairing
– Elongation
• Proteins connect the correct sequences of
nucleotides into a continuous new strand of DNA
– Termination
• Proteins release the replication complex

Steps involved in DNA Replication in
Prokaryotes (E.coli)
In prokaryotes, the DNA is circular. Replication
starts at a single origin (ori C) and is bi-
directional and semi-conservative.
The region of replicating DNA associated
with the single origin is called a replication
bubble or replication eye and consists of two
replication forks moving in opposite direction
around the DNA circle.
During DNA replication, the two parental strands
separate and each acts as a template to direct
the enzyme catalysed synthesis of a new com-
plementary daughter strand following the base
pairing rule.
Three basic steps involved in DNA repli-
cation are Initiation, elongation and
termination.
I. Initiation
Step 1:Binding of DNA around an initiator
protein complex DNA-A ATP ~30-40.
The DNA B or helicase unwinds ori C (origin of
replication) and extends the single stranded
region for copying.
Step 2: Single strand binding protein (SSB) binds
to this single stranded region to protect it from
breakage and to prevent it from renaturing.
As the parental DNA is unwound by DNA
helicases and SSB (travels in 5’-3’ direction),
the resulting positive supercoiling (torsional
stress) is relieved by topoisomerse I and II (DNA
gyrase) by inducing transient single stranded
breaks.
Step 3: The enzyme DNA primase (primase, an
RNA polymerase) then attaches to the DNA
and synthesises a short RNA primer to initiate
synthesis of the leading strand of the first
replication fork.
II. Elongation
Step 4: DNA polymerase III extends the RNA primer
made by primase. DNA polymerase possesses
separate catalytic sites for polyme-risation and
degradation of nucleic acid strands.
All DNA polymerases make DNA in 5’-3’ direc-tion
Leading strand synthesis:
On the template strand with 3’-5’ orientation, new
DNA is made continuously in 5’-3’ direction towards
the replication fork. The new strand that is
continuously synthesized in 5’-3’ direction is the
leading strand.
Lagging strand synthesis: On the template strand
with 5’-3’ orientation, multiple primers are syn-
thesized at specific sites by primase (primosome
complex) and DNA pol III synthesizes short pieces
of new DNA (about 1000 nucleotides long) new
DNA is in 5’-3’ direction.
• These small DNA fragments that are disconti-
nuously synthesises are called Okazaki fragments
(named after the discoverer Reigi Okazaki). The
new strand which is discontinuously synthesised
in small fragments is called the lagging strand.
DNA polymerase III synthesizes DNA for both
leading and lagging strands.
Step 5: After DNA synthesis by DNA pol III,
DNA polymerase I uses its 5’-3’ exonuclease
activity to remove the RNA primer and fills
the gaps with new DNA.
Step 6: Finally DNA ligase joins the ends of
the DNA fragments together.
III. Termination
Step 7: The two replication forks meet ~
180 degree opposite to ori C, as DNA is circu-
lar in prokaryotes. Around this region there are
several terminator sites which arrest the move-
ment of forks by binding to the tus gene pro-
duct, an inhibitor of helicase (Dna B).
Step 8: Once replication is complete, the two
double stranded circular DNA molecules (dau-
ghter strands) remain interlinked.
Topoisomerase II makes double stranded cuts
to unlink these molecules.
Why is an RNA primer necessary for DNA
replication?
A. The RNA primer is necessary for the activity of DNA
ligase.
B. The RNA primer creates the 5’ and 3’ ends of the
strand.
C. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to RNA
molecules.
D. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to an
existing strand
