#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Three different DNA polymerases make up the eukaryotic replication fork

Pol α/rimase is responsible for primer synthesis on the lagging strand.

The MCM helicase (the eukaryotic homolog of Dna B ) unwinds the dsDNA, while 

PCNA (homolog of ex) endows the complex with processivity.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Sequences that are involved with termination are called ter sites. A ter site contains a short, -23-bp sequence.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

The ter site is recognized by a unidirectional contrahelicase (called Tus in E. coli and RTP in B. subtilis) that recognizes the consensus sequence and prevents the replication fork from proceeding.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

The E. coli enzyme acts by antagonizing the replication helicase in a direction a) manner by direct contact between the DnaB helicase and Tus.

Deletion of the ter sites does not, however, prevent normal replication cycles from occurring, although it does affect segregation of the daughter chromosomes.

The two replication forks meet and halt in a region approximately halfway around the chromosome from the origin.
