Q1Domain Verified
During DNA replication, what is the primary enzymatic function of DNA polymerase III in *E. coli* that distinguishes it from DNA polymerase I?
High processivity for rapid elongation of the leading and lagging strands.
Removal of RNA primers from Okazaki fragments.
3' to 5' exonuclease activity for proofreading.
Synthesis of the very first deoxyribonucleotide of a new strand.
Q2Domain Verified
The "replication fork" is a dynamic structure. If DNA ligase activity is inhibited during replication, which of the following would be the most immediate consequence observed at the replication fork on the lagging strand?
Okazaki fragments would accumulate as separate, unjoined DNA segments.
Continuous synthesis of the leading strand would halt due to a lack of free 3'-OH groups.
Telomeres would be excessively replicated, leading to genomic instability.
The helicase would prematurely dissociate from the DNA template.
Q3Domain Verified
In the context of DNA repair mechanisms, what is the key difference in the initial recognition step between Base Excision Repair (BER) and Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) for DNA damage?
BER requires a glycosylase to cleave the N-glycosidic bond, whereas NER directly incises the phosphodiester backbone.
BER is initiated by a nuclease that recognizes the damaged base, while NER is initiated by a helicase that unwinds the DNA around the lesion.
BER involves a single enzyme for recognition and excision, while NER requires a multi-enzyme complex.
BER specifically targets single-base lesions like deamination, while NER targets bulky, helix-distorting lesions.
