In E. Coli, the protein Rad27 is involved in the processing of these structures, and a Finnish team discovered in 1996 that their joining may be polyamine dependent.
In E. Coli, the protein Rad27 is involved in the processing of these structures, and a Finnish team discovered in 1996 that their joining may be polyamine dependent. These structures were originally detected via a pulse- chase experiment using tritium labeled substrates, and were subsequently isolated via sucrose centrifugation. The enzymes FEN-1 and RNAse H are responsible for removing the primers that create these structures, which are then joined end-to-end by ligase. They are approximately 1000-2000 base pairs long, and arise because replication always occurs 5'-to-3'. FTP, name these segments of DNA created on the lagging strand during replication, named for discoverers Reiji and Tsuneko.
