摘要: In common with other eukaryotes, plant DNA is organised for replication as multiple replicons. A key event the recognition of origins by origin-recognition complex (ORC). Despite earlier indications, it now likely that in mammals, are not defined strictly sequence; thus important to ascertain what features recognised ORC. Activation occurs stepwise loading pre-replication complex, all components which have been identified plants. This step restricting once per cell cycle, although plants, this restriction relatively easily overcome, permitting endoreduplication. It also note flexibility origin use relation aspects development. Is mediated ORC binding or at step? Following activation, prepared initiation, again several proteins, including initiating polymerase, polymerase-α-primase. The last pre-initiation strand separation GINS-CDC45-MCM2-7 generate a bubble. Synthesis itself initiated polymerase-α-primase (which has extensively researched plants). then “hands over” polymerase-e on leading and polymerase-δ each Okazaki fragment. Polymerases -α, -δ -e three 14 polymerases known protein and/or gene level Intriguingly, polymerase-β (a repair enzyme animals) associated plants endoreduplication, repeated without an intervening mitosis. Whether synthesised during newly strands completed ligation fragments replicon-length pieces ligase 1. What will be especially interesting integration these molecular events into higher levels control, such specification meristem identity.
