  2. Chromosome scaffold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_scaffold

    The enzyme DNA topoisomerase IIα prominently appears along the chromosome axis as part of the scaffold. [3] In mitosis, it is concentrated at the centromeres and the axis along the chromosome arms. It is thought that the protein has a role in untangling the DNA as the loops become more concentrated along the axis during the condensation of the ...

  3. Non-histone protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-histone_protein

    They play vital roles in regulating processes like nucleosome remodeling, DNA replication, RNA synthesis and processing, nuclear transport, steroid hormone action and interphase/mitosis transition. [1] Scaffold proteins, DNA polymerase, Heterochromatin Protein 1 and Polycomb are common non-histone proteins. This classification group also ...

  4. Minichromosome maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minichromosome_Maintenance

    MCM2-7 is required for both DNA replication initiation and elongation; its regulation at each stage is a central feature of eukaryotic DNA replication. [3] During G1 phase, the two head-to-head Mcm2-7 rings serve as the scaffold for the assembly of the bidirectional replication initiation complexes at the replication origin.

  5. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_III_holoenzyme

    DNA polymerase III synthesizes base pairs at a rate of around 1000 nucleotides per second. [3] DNA Pol III activity begins after strand separation at the origin of replication. Because DNA synthesis cannot start de novo, an RNA primer, complementary to part of the single-stranded DNA, is synthesized by primase (an RNA polymerase): [citation ...

  6. Eukaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_DNA_replication

    During DNA replication, the replisome will unwind the parental duplex DNA into a two single-stranded DNA template replication fork in a 5' to 3' direction. The leading strand is the template strand that is being replicated in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork.

  7. DNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase

    A DNA polymerase is a member of a family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA molecules from nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors of DNA. These enzymes are essential for DNA replication and usually work in groups to create two identical DNA duplexes from a single original DNA duplex.

  8. Scaffold/matrix attachment region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffold/Matrix_Attachment...

    the dynamic properties of S/MAR-scaffold contacts as derived by haloFISH investigations [5] the fact that during transcription DNA is reeled through RNA-polymerase which itself is a fixed component of the nuclear matrix [6] the fact that certain domain-intrinsic S/MARs require the support of an adjacent transcription factor to become active. [4]

  9. 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 ]
