A full explanation about the Telomerase and the end replication problem

[@djalitanaful]

Jesus, finally someone explained this properly. this is the 10th clip I watched and now can understand this end replication problem. thank you for sharing.

[@biomedicalandbiologicalsci4989]

Oh thank you for your comment, I will try to keep making such videos. And if you have suggestions for other topics, it would be nice to hear them :)

[@djalitanaful]

just reading about histone codes and the histone sequence in human. is very complex for me. that is about heterochromatin, euchromatin and histone tails, x chromosome deactivation, methylation and acetylation of histones affecting epigenetic and genetics. I wish you was here to read this with me.

[@biomedicalandbiologicalsci4989]

Woow .. interesting topics ... I will try to speak about them in my coming videos maybe next week .. so stay arround ;) .. this week I am working on PCR and rt-PCR the video will be up tomorrow I think ...

[@ns9176]

I second this. This explanation really tied everything together nicely for me.

[@aparnakanjhlia5141]

There's quite a few things missing in this video. Especially, since we're talking about the end replication problem, there is a need to mention that the lagging strand and its template strand never really fully get replicated, there's always a part of the extended DNA that doesn't get replicated. The telomere essentially has both double stranded and single stranded regions, the single stranded region of the telomere loops around and forms a knot in the telomeric region which stabilizes the ends of DNA.

[@jorgeeduardocarrenozapata4243]

inaccurate video. sorry

[@hyderali692]

If replication of large eukaryotic chromosome is initiated at multiple origins of replication ( replication bubbles) the end replication problem should probably happen on each replication bubble. Why it only happens at telomere?

[@veronikabacova9467]

@@hyderali692 I think it's because each replication fork eventually runs into a replication fork running in the opposite direction (they meet). So all of the DNA is replicated there.

@@jorgeeduardocarrenozapata4243 if you can explain it better, then create a video that explains it buddy.... otherwise take your comments elsewhere

@@haykojan6590 if you don't care about learning material as close as accurate, as possible, I am sorry. If I had the academia and time to create a video, I would. However, I am no one to do so, just like you. Just stating an opinion based on what I have learned from professionals. If you don't like my comment and are offended, then maybe science is not for you. There is a lot of criticism and people, just like myself make and learn from mistakes!

Thank you for excellent and informative presentation."The telomere is involved in several essential biological functions. It protects chromosomes from recombination, end-to end fusion, and recognition as damaged DNA; provides a means for complete replication of chromosomes; contributes to the functional organization of chromosomes within the nucleus; participates in the regulation of gene expression; and serves as a molecular clock that controls the replicative capacity of human cells and their entry into senescence."

Ok so I want to clarify something. The last primer on the lagging strand is removed because it is RNA and under physiological conditions is extremely unstable. RNase will remove it THAT"s WHY IT IS REMOVED.

[@leoniew1255]

Oh my god thank you!! I finally found a detailed explanation 🤯

[@graw96]

Hi! Thank you so much for uploading this! I am just very confused about one thing - why would this not happened on BOTH the lagging AND leading strand? In both cases there is no OH for the new nucleotide to be added to when filling in primers at the end. Afterall wasnt the leading strand also started with a primer as well? Why can that one get filled in easily but the one at the end of the lagging strand cause such a problem? Thank you so much for you help in advance!

[@biomedicalandbiologicalsci4989]

In the leading strand there is only one RNA primer at the beginning of the daughter strand. At the end of DNA replication this RNA primer is removed nucleotide by nucleotide and each removed nucleotide is replaced by a DNA nucleotide using an enzyme called DNA polymerase (I), this sequence of DNA which replaces the removed RNA primer is then linked with the rest of the daughter strand using the enzyme Ligase. Now you may ask why this does not happen in the lagging strand? the problem is that the mechanism of replication is totally different in the lagging strand, because there are many RNA primers, each one of them has a different sequence, these RNA primers are removed all at once, then the gaps are filled normally with DNA polymerase starting from each OKAZAKI fragment, but this enzyme usually forgets to replace the last RNA primer because of the missing of -OH, so this enzyme does not sense the absence of the last strand which is rather sensed by the enzyme telomerase which in turn fixes this issue. I hope I answered your question.

[@andjelanovakovic5006]

OK, so you forgot to mention that there is a rna primer at the beginning of the leading strand, so how is that rna primer replaced cuz if the exonuclease removes it there isn't a 3' for the dna polymerase to attach to?

[@XDSome1XD]

Ligase?

[@AL-yj1vk]

this is exactly the same question that has been haunting me for hours! I've watched a lot of videos about the end replication problem but they all forgot to mention that there is a primer at the begginng of the leading strand too! Someone please help me I can't find the explanation for this anywhere :(

[@hughdong4593]

because leading strand's primer is somewhere within the DNA, it will eventually be filled by dna coming from the leading strand of the previous replication fork.

[@avikchaudhuri8515]

That is done in prokaryotes by DNA Polymerase I. It has a unique 5' to 3' exonuclease activity that can replace the RNA primer and then replace it with DNA. In Eukaryotes the removal is done by RNase H and Flap Endonucleases

[@avikchaudhuri8515]

Ultimately the short gaps are joined by DNA Ligase

[@Anurag9344-q1i]

I have a question :- for synthesis of leading strand RNA primer is required at the very beginning, which will be later on removed. How will this gap be filled? Since extension occurs from 5 to 3. But in this case exposed 5 ends.

[@alexanderthegreat851]

I Love you 😍😍 Best teacher ever

[@unalahmetakar7621]

I would like to ask a question. If as you said RNA primer at the end can not replaced because of lack of free OH group, then how RNA primer in the leading strand is replaced? Because the begining part is 5' which is continuously written by DNA polymerase and lack OH group.

[@tabimansour]

Amazing explanation, thank you ... I subscribed to this channel hoping to encourage you do more amazing videos like this.

[@blackwood5851]

in my book it says that at the end of the lagging strand you can't even attach a RNA primer because helicase goes away and without it, RNA-primase cannot attach a primer.

[@farheenayub8144]

this is very beautifully explained

[@noorivlogs265]

It helped a lot..it was really good..alwYs stay blessed..

[@isabelrustler2330]

thank you so much now i wont fail my test tomorrow

[@guesswho1840]

This video is only partially correct. Usually the primer removal of the 5‘ end of the lagging strand doesn’t not affect the telomere length as much, as it is recessed anyways to generate the 3‘ overhang. The problem persists in the leading strand, which has lost its overhang. Therefore the 5‘ end of the parental strand needs to be recessed leading to DNA loss as in the next round of replication the 5‘ end gets shorter and shorter. It’s not so much about the primer removal, which causes the end replication problem. Find the full explanation at Hug and Lingner, Chromosoma, 2006.

[@chewerxian1260]

[@maddenfootballtalk6544]

Ok so good video. Now how do we extend them. How or what can be used to stop the shortening ?

[@kipling1957]

Part of evolutionary senescent theory suggests that telomere shortening and senescent cell cycle arrest acts as a protective mechanism against cancer. There is a trade off between long telomeres allowing frequent continual cell replication, but cumulative DNA damage leading to cancer later in life Vs. short telomeres triggering tumour suppressor genes, e.g., p53, arrested cell cycle, cell senescence states or apoptosis, reducing the likelihood of cancer. In other words telomere shortening may be a necessity for organisms that live longer in less egregious environments and are able to reproduce in old age. Therefore, simply elongating telomeres as a way of extending life may not be a viable option.

[@hesamb9135]

Wonderful explanation. Thank you

[@austinadel8224]

How can the first daughter dna thread be built from 5 to 3 in the 3 to 5 sequence when there is no OH mould for the first nucleotide to be built on ? Or the forst nucleotide doesn't need an OH ?

[@shivankursharma2946]

[@ahmedhelmy8127]

Thanks for this awesome video❤🌸 But, I think this problem occure in the leading strand also Because the start site at 5' end contain a primer which must be removed after replication So ther is a gap will be formed.

at 10:03, when the parent strand is elongated by the Telomerase and the rna primer comes and the daughter strand is completed, what happens to the part where the rna primer and parent strand disappears in the video?
