The T4 replisome has provided a unique opportunity to investigate the intricacies of DNA replication. We present a comprehensive review of this system focusing on the following: its 8-protein composition, their individual and synergistic activities, and assembly and into a replisome capable of coordinated leading/lagging strand DNA synthesis. We conclude with a brief comparison with other replisomes with emphasis on how coordinated DNA replication is achieved.
T4 复制体为研究 DNA 复制的复杂性提供了一个独特的机会。我们对该系统进行了全面综述,重点关注以下方面:其由 8 种蛋白质组成的成分、它们各自的和协同的活性,以及组装成一个能够协调前导链/后随链 DNA 合成的复制体。我们最后简要比较了其他复制体,重点在于如何实现协调的 DNA 复制。
