Telomere maintenance is critical for genome stability. The newly-identified Ctc1/Stn1/Ten1 complex is important for telomere maintenance, though its precise role is unclear. We report here that ...
“the lagging strand polymerase synthesizes DNA faster than the leading strand polymerase.” DNA replication occurs at the replication fork, which forms when DNA is unwound by a helicase into strands ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 113, No. 21 (May 24, 2016), pp. 5916-5921 (6 pages) DNA replication occurs semidiscontinuously due to the ...
Single-molecule techniques are developed to examine mechanistic features of individual E. coli replisomes during synthesis of long DNA molecules. We find that single replisomes exhibit constant rates ...
Without exceptions, genomic DNA of living organisms is replicated using the leading and the lagging strand. In a conventional idea of mutagenesis accompanying DNA replication, mutations are thought to ...
The mitochondrial transcription machinery synthesizes the RNA primers required for initiation of leading-strand DNA synthesis in mammalian mitochondria. RNA primers are also required for initiation of ...
Accurate transmission of the genetic information requires complete duplication of the chromosomal DNA each cell division cycle. However, the idea that replication forks would form at origins of DNA ...
