Chromosome dnaB helicase is an enzyme in bacteria which opens the replication fork during DNA replication . Initially when DnaB binds to dnaA , it is associated with dnaC , a negative regulator. After DnaC dissociates, DnaB binds dnaG . In eukaryotes, helicase function is provided by the T antigen . The DnaB helicase is the product of the dnaB gene. The helicase enzyme that is produced is a hexamer in E. coli , as well as in many other bacteria. The energy for DnaB activity is provided by NTP hydrolysis. Mechanical energy moves the DnaB into the replication fork, physically splitting it in half E. coli dnaB In E. coli , dnaB is a hexameric protein of six 471 residue subunits, which form a ring shaped structure with threefold symmetry. During DNA replication, the lagging strand of DNA binds in the central channel of dnaB, and the second DNA strand is excluded. The binding of dNTPs causes a conformational change which allows the dnaB to translocate along the DNA, thus mechanically forcing the separation of the DNA strands.

  1. PcrA

    PcrA , standing for plasmid copy reduced is a helicase that was originally discovered in a screen for chromosomally encoded genes that are affected in plasmid rolling circle replication in the Gram positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus . Biological functions Genetic and biochemical studies have shown that the helicase is essential for plasmid rolling circle replication and repair of DNA damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It catalyzes the unwinding of double stranded plasmid DNA that has been nicked at the replication origin by the replication initiation protein. Genetic and biochemical studies have also shown that the helicase plays an important role in cell survival by regulating the levels of RecA mediated recombination in Gram positive bacteria. Biochemical properties The helicase is a monomeric translocase and utilizes ATP to unwind DNA. The preferred substrates are single stranded DNA containing 3 overhangs. The processivity of PcrA is increased in the presence of plasmid replication initiation protein. Crystal Structure The structure of the helicase has been solved at high resolution and indicates inchworming as the mechanism of translocation on single stranded DNA. A Mexican wave model has been proposed based on the changes in conformation of the helicase observed in the product versus substrate complex.

The formation of the oriC DnaA complex and DNA unwinding requires ATP hydrolysis ref 1 . The oriC site in E. coli has three adenosine A threonine T rich 13 base pair regions DNA unwinding element DUE s elements followed by five 9 bp regions. Around 10 dnaA molecule s bind to the 9 bp regions, which wrap around the proteins causing the DNA at the AT rich region to unwind. The denatured AT rich region allows for the recruitment of DnaB helicase complexes with DnaC helicase loader . DnaC helps the helicase to bind to and to properly accommodate the ssDNA at the 13 bp region, this is accomplished by Adenosine triphosphate ATP hydrolysis after which DnaC is released. Single strand binding protein Single strand binding protein s SSBs stabilize the single DNA strands in order to maintain the replication bubble . DnaB is a 5 3 helicase, so it travels on the lagging strand . It associates with DnaG a primase to form the only Primer molecular biology primer for the leading strand and to add RNA primers on the lagging strand.

  1. Primosome

    Refimprove date December 2009 In molecular biology, a primosome is a protein complex responsible for creating RNA primers on single stranded DNA during DNA replication . The primosome consists of seven proteins DnaG primase , DnaB helicase , DnaC helicase assistant, DnaT, PriA , Pri B , and PriC . The primosome is utilized once on the leading strand of DNA and repeatedly, initiating each Okazaki fragment , on the lagging DNA strand. Initially the complex formed by PriA, PriB, and PriC binds to DNA. Then the DnaB DnaC helicase complex attaches along with DnaT. This structure is referred to as the pre primosome. Finally, DnaG will bind to the pre primosome forming a complete primosome. The primosome attaches 1 10 RNA nucleotides to the single stranded DNA creating a DNA RNA hybrid. This sequence of RNA is used as a primer to initiate DNA polymerase III . The RNA bases are ultimately replaced with DNA bases by RNase H nuclease eukaryotes or DNA polymerase I nuclease prokaryotes . DNA Ligase then acts to join the two ends together. Assembly of the Escherichia coli primosome requires six proteins, PriA, PriB, PriC, DnaB, DnaC, and DnaT, acting at a primosome assembly site pas on an SSBcoated single stranded 8s DNA. Assembly is initiated by interactions of PriA and PriB with ssDNA and the pas. PriC, DnaB, DnaC, and DnaT then act on the PriAPriB DNA complex to yield the primosome. ref Assembly of the primosome of DNA replication in Escherichia coli. http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov pubmed 8366072 ref Primosomes are nucleoproteins assemblies that activate DNA replication forks. Their primary role is to recruit the replicative helicase onto single stranded DNA.

See Template PBB Controls to Stop updates. PBB Summary section title summary text DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp Glu Ala Asp DEAD , are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division.

  1. Replisome

    Image DNA replication en.svg thumb 300px right A representation of the structures of the replisome during DNA replication The replisome is a complex molecular machine that carries out replication of DNA . It is made up of a number of subcomponents that each provide a specific function during the process of replication. Major Components While the replisome acts as a singular machine, its subcomponents are the complexes that perform the specific functions of replication. Helicase Helicase is an enzyme which breaks H bonds between the two strands of DNA. Its doughnut like structure wraps around DNA and separates the strands ahead of DNA synthesis. As helicase unwinds the double helix, it causes the helix to form supercoils in other areas of the DNA. In eukaryotes, the Mcm2 7 complex acts as a helicase, though which subunits are required for helicase activity is not entirely clear. ref http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov pubmed 18657510 ref This helicase translocates in the same direction as the DNA polymerase 3 to 5 with respect to the template strand . In prokaryotic systems, the helicases are better identified and include dnaB , which moves 5 to 3 on the strand opposite the DNA polymerase. Gyrase Gyrase a form of Topoisomerase relaxes and undoes the supercoiling caused by helicase. It does this by cutting the DNA strands, allowing it to rotate and release the supercoil, and then rejoining the strands. Gyrase is most commonly found upstream of the replication fork, where the supercoils form. Primase Primase adds complementary RNA primers to a DNA strand to begin Okazaki fragments . These primers are approximately 10 base pairs long and are at the 5 end of the okazaki fragment. Additionally, because DNA Polymerase can continue, but not begin, a strand, Primase must begin the leading strand as well. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme DNA polymerase III DNA pol III holoenzyme contains two catalytic cores one for replication of the leading strand and one for the lagging strand. DNA pol ...   more details

Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, which is an enzyme that possesses both ATPase and DNA helicase activities. This gene is a homolog of the yeast CHL1 gene, and may function to maintain chromosome transmission fidelity and genome stability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. ref name entrez cite web title Entrez Gene DDX11 DEAD H Asp Glu Ala Asp His box polypeptide 11 CHL1 like helicase homolog, S. cerevisiae url http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov sites entrez?Db gene&Cmd ShowDetailView&TermToSearch 1663 accessdate ref References reflist Further reading refbegin 2 PBB Further reading citations cite journal author Baens M, Aerssens ...
