Q

Mismatch remair

A
  • removes mis-incorporated nucleotides
  • distinguishes between new strand and old strand
  • copies info from intact DNA strand to the damaged strand
17
Q

MMR distinguishes between template (old) and new strand by…

A

ecoli: methlyation of old strand
euk: knicks on new daughter DNA

18
Q

Steps of MMR (3)

A

1) two protein complexes (hMSH and hMLH/PMS) recognize damage on new daughter strand
2) stretch of DNA in front of and behind damaged base clipped by endonucleases and excised by exonucleases
3) DNA pol synthesizes new DNA, sealed by ligase

19
Q

Mutation in MMR can lead to ___________ (disease)

A

Herditary non-polposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) aka Lynch Syndrome

20
Q

5 general steps of excision repair (MMR, BER, NER)

A

1) recognition of damaged/mismatched nucleotide
2) Endonucleases cut phosphodiester backbone flanking damaged nucleotide
3) Nucleases remove DNA fragment containing damaged nucleotide
4) DNA polymerase synthesizes missing nucleotide by using intact DNA strand
5) DNA ligase seals remaining nick in phosphodiester backbone

21
Q

Base Excision Repair (BER) repairs these types of DNA damage (4)

A

repairs damages that do NOT distort the DNA

  • Spontaneous Base Loss
  • Spontaneous Deamination
  • Base Alkylation
  • Base Oxidation
22
Q

Base Excision Repair

A
  • Uses base-specific glycolases to remove damaged base
  • limited based on # of specific glycolases
  • repairs damages that do NOT distort the DNA
23
Q

Steps (4) of base excision repair

A
  1. Damaged base recognized by specific DNA glycolase
  2. Damaged base flipped out and glycolase cuts N-glycosidic revealing AP site
  3. AP site-specific endonuclease (APE1) cleaves sugar-phosphate backbone at 5’ and another cuts at 3’
  4. Gap filled by DNA polymerase and knock sealed by DNA ligase
24
Q

Nucleotide Excision Repair repairs these types of DNA damage

A
  • UV damage thymine dimers
  • Nucleotide insertion/Deletion
  • Bulky chemical adducts
  • Inter/Intra strand crosslinks
25
Q

NER

A
  • repairs base damages that distort the DNA and blocks polymerase function
  • removes oligonucleotide that contains the damaged base
26
Q

NER steps (5)

A

1) recognition of site by multiprotein complex (global genome NER, TRanscription-coupled NER)
2) local unwinding by DNA helicase to form a bubble
3) Double incision of damaged strand by two endonucleases
4) Removal of 30 base oligonucleotide containing the lesion
5) fill in gap by DNA pol, rejoin by DNA ligase

27
Q

Global genome NER

-mutations result in…

A
  • recognizes damage anywhere in the genome

- Mutations can result in cancer, and XP

28
Q

Transcription-Coupled NER

-mutations result in…

A
  • recognizes damage within transcribed region

- Mutations can result in CNS disorder, Cockayne syndrome (CS)

29
Q

Homologous recombination (HR)

A
  • Extended sequence homology needed

- accurate

30
Q

Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)

A
  • No homology needed

- often innacurate

31
Q

Single Strand Break Repair (SSBR)

A
  • PARP activated by ssDNA break

- adds poly-ADP-ribose chain to proteins that facilitate DNA repair (amplified damage signal)

32
Q

Tolerance/Bypass of base damage (trans-lesion synthesis)

A
  • Last resort when too much DNA damage
  • Uses error prone DNA polymerases (without proofreading mechanisms)
  • Allows replication to continue on damaged template strand

Mutations incorporated into new strand

33
Q

Steps (5) of trans-lesion synthesis

A

1) DNA replication machinery stalls
2) Two “bypass” polymerases bind to arrested replication complex
3) Conformational change of replication complex allows Pol n (bypass polymerase) to synthesize new strand over the lesion
4) Pol I (bypass polymerase) extends new strand a little further beyond lesion
5) DNA replication resumes with normal machinery

34
Q

DNA damage checkpoint

A

pauses cell cycle to allow time for DNA repair before moving on to the next step of the cell cycle
