Initiation of DNA Replication Essential for cell growth, development, integrity of the genetic information Each origin initiates replication only once per cell cycle Highly regulated. Commitment to DNA replication is an irreversible decision Many initiation proteins are upregulated in cancer cells
Initiation of DNA Replication Essential for cell growth, development, integrity of the genetic information Each origin initiates replication only once per cell cycle Highly regulated. Commitment to DNA replication is an irreversible decision Many initiation proteins are upregulated in cancer cells QUESTIONS What are the requirements for the initiation of DNA replication? How is initiation limited to once per cell cycle? What effect might chromatin structure have on initiation? Overview of the temporal nature of replication initiation

{ A B Plasmid stability measurements of linker scan mutants ARS element ~150-200bp “Linker scans” are typically ~6-10bp in length. They change the existing sequence at multiple base pairs without the adding or deleting nucleotides and introduce a novel restriction site. For example, an 8bp XhoI linker scan across this region might change the existing sequence to CCTCGAGG at each position above.
