  2. Primer (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(molecular_biology)

    The DNA replication fork. RNA primer labeled at top. A primer is a short, single-stranded nucleic acid used by all living organisms in the initiation of DNA synthesis.A synthetic primer may also be referred to as an oligo, short for oligonucleotide.

  3. Primer binding site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_binding_site

    A primer binding site is a region of a nucleotide sequence where an RNA or DNA single-stranded primer binds to start replication. The primer binding site is on one of the two complementary strands of a double-stranded nucleotide polymer, in the strand which is to be copied, or is within a single-stranded nucleotide polymer sequence. [2]

  4. Eukaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_DNA_replication

    While the leading strand can use a single RNA primer to extend the 5' terminus of the replicating DNA strand, multiple RNA primers are responsible for lagging strand synthesis, creating Okazaki fragments. This leads to an issue due to the fact that DNA polymerase is only able to add to the 3' end of the DNA strand.

  5. Primosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 ...

    In contrast, DNA Pol I is the enzyme responsible for replacing RNA primers with DNA. DNA Pol I has a 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity in addition to its polymerase activity, and uses its exonuclease activity to degrade the RNA primers ahead of it as it extends the DNA strand behind it, in a process called nick translation. Pol I is much less ...

  7. Primase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primase

    DNA primase is an enzyme involved in the replication of DNA and is a type of RNA polymerase.Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a short RNA (or DNA in some living organisms [1]) segment called a primer complementary to a ssDNA (single-stranded DNA) template.

  8. DnaG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DnaG

    DnaG synthesizes a single RNA primer at the origin of replication. This primer serves to prime leading strand DNA synthesis. For the other parental strand, the lagging strand, DnaG synthesizes an RNA primer every few kilobases (kb). These primers serve as substrates for the synthesis of Okazaki fragments. [3]

  9. NASBA (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASBA_(molecular_biology)

    AMV-RT synthesizes a complementary DNA strand (cDNA) from the RNA template once the primer is annealed. [10] RNase H then degrades the RNA template and the other primer binds to the cDNA to form double stranded DNA, which RNA polymerase uses to synthesize copies of RNA. [11] One key aspect of NASBA is that the starting material and end product ...
