DNA unwinding element

132:. DnaA is highly conserved and has two DNA binding domains. Just upstream to this DnaA box, is three tandem 13-mer sequences. These tandem sequences, labelled L, M, R from 5' to 3' are the bacterial DUEs. Two out of three of these A-T rich regions (M and R) become unwound upon binding of DnaA to DnaA box, via close proximity to unwinding duplex. The final 13-mer sequence L, farthest from this DnaA box eventually gets unwound upon DnaB helicase encircling it. This forms a replication bubble for DNA replication to then proceed. 31: 256:(ARSs) that are transformed and maintained well in a plasmid. Some of these ARSs are seen to act as replication origins. These ARSs are composed of three domains A, B, and C. The A domain is where the ARS consensu s sequence resides, coined an ACS. The B domain contains the DUE. Lastly, the C domain is necessary for facilitating 223:. This binding allows for further factor binding to create a pre-replicative complex (pre-RC). Pre-RC triggered to initiate when cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) bind to it. Initiation complexes then allow for recruitment of MCM helicase activator Cdc45 and subsequent unwinding of duplex at origin. 306:
They act to initiate strand separation by binding to DUE. DUE-B sequence homologs found among a variety of animal species- fish, amphibians, and rodents. DUE-B's have disordered C-terminal domains that bind to the DUE by recognition of this C-terminus. No other sequence specificity involved in this

Eukaryotic replication mechanisms work in relatively similar ways to that of prokaryotes, but is under more finely-tuned regulation. There is a need to ensure that each DNA molecule is replicated only once and that this is occurring in the proper location at the proper time. Operates in response to

If there is a severe enough mutation to DUE causing it to no longer be bound to DUE-B, Cdc45 cannot associate and will not bind to c-myc transcription factor. This can be recovered in disease-related (ATTCT)(n) length expansions of the DUE sequence. If DUE activity regained in excess, could cause

start. The unwinding of this duplex strand region is associated with a low free energy requirement, due to helical instability caused by specific base-stacking interactions, in combination with counteracting supercoiling. Negative supercoiling allows the DNA to be stable upon melting, driven by
147:
Unwinding of these three DUEs is a necessary step for DNA replication to initiate. The distant pull from duplex melting at the DnaA box sequence is what induces further melting at the M and R DUE sites. The more distant L site is then unwound by DnaB binding. Unwinding of these 13-mer sites is

Between species, these ARS sequences are variable, but their A, B, and C domains are well conserved. Any alterations in the DUE (domain B) causes lower overall function of the ARS as a whole in replication initiation. This was found via studies using imino exchange and

though, DUE-Bs can be temporarily phosphorylated to prevent premature replication. DUE-B activity is covalently controlled. The assembly of these DUE-Bs at the DUE regions is dependent on local kinase and phosphatase activity. DUE-B's can also be down-regulated by

Human cells still have very little detailing of their origins. It is known that replication initiates in large initiation zone areas, associated with known proteins like the c-myc and β-globin gene. Ones with DUEs thought to act in nearly same way as yeast cells.
157:
DUEs were experimentally compared through nuclear resonance spectroscopy. In physiological conditions, the opening efficiency of each of the A-T rich sequences differed from one another. Largely due to the different distantly surrounding sequences.
111:
In prokaryotes, most of the time DNA replication is occurring from one single replication origin on one single strand of DNA sequence. Whether this genome is linear or circularized, bacteria have own machinery necessary for replication to occur.
161:
Additionally, melting of AT/TA base pairs were found to be much faster than that of GC/CG pairs (15-240s vs. ~20s). This supports the idea that A-T sequences are evolutionarily favoured in DUE elements due to their ease of unwinding.
