  2. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    Replication Factories Disentangle Sister Chromatids. The disentanglement is essential for distributing the chromatids into daughter cells after DNA replication. Because sister chromatids after DNA replication hold each other by Cohesin rings, there is the only chance for the disentanglement in DNA replication. Fixing of replication machineries ...

  3. Eukaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_DNA_replication

    Eukaryotic DNA replication is a conserved mechanism that restricts DNA replication to once per cell cycle. Eukaryotic DNA replication of chromosomal DNA is central for the duplication of a cell and is necessary for the maintenance of the eukaryotic genome.

  4. Origin of replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_replication

    The context-driven definition of replicators and selection of origins suggests a relaxed replicon model in eukaryotic systems that allows for flexibility in the DNA replication program. [23] Although replicators and origins can be spaced physically apart on chromosomes, they often co-localize or are located in close proximity; for simplicity ...

  5. Replisome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replisome

    The replication of bacteriophage T4 DNA upon infection of E. coli is a well-studied DNA replication system. During the period of exponential DNA increase at 37°C, the rate of elongation is 749 nucleotides per second. [11] The mutation rate during replication is 1.7 mutations per 10 8 base pairs. [12]

  6. Semiconservative replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconservative_replication

    Semiconservative replication describes the mechanism of DNA replication in all known cells. DNA replication occurs on multiple origins of replication along the DNA template strands. As the DNA double helix is unwound by helicase, replication occurs separately on each template strand in antiparallel directions. This process is known as semi ...

  7. Replicon (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicon_(genetics)

    The replicator is the entire DNA sequence (including, but not limited to the origin of replication) required to direct the initiation of DNA replication. The initiator is the protein that recognizes the replicator and activates replication initiation. [1]

  8. S phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_phase

    Since new DNA must be packaged into nucleosomes to function properly, synthesis of canonical (non-variant) histone proteins occurs alongside DNA replication. During early S-phase, the cyclin E-Cdk2 complex phosphorylates NPAT , a nuclear coactivator of histone transcription. [ 6 ]

  9. Prokaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryotic_DNA_replication

    Prokaryotic DNA Replication is the process by which a prokaryote duplicates its DNA into another copy that is passed on to daughter cells. [1] Although it is often studied in the model organism E. coli, other bacteria show many similarities. [2] Replication is bi-directional and originates at a single origin of replication (OriC). [3]
