Q

what are XPG and XPF

A

endonucleases that cut DNA either side of the damage in NER

17
Q

what happens to the cut fargment in NER

A

it is removed and the gap is filled in by DNA polymerase

18
Q

what is a disease that is a probelm with the XP proteis called, what does it mean

A

xeroderma pigmentosum
dont have NER
prone to cancer

19
Q

what can cause a doubke strand break repair

A

ionizing radiation

20
Q

how can a cell deal with a double strand break

A

non homologous end joining or homologous recombination

21
Q

name a gene mutation associated with double strand break repair

A

BRCA

22
Q

what does Rb do

A

sequesters E2F

23
Q

what is E2F

A

transcription factor

24
Q

what happens when E2F is sequestered

A

it can no longer bind to DNA

25
Q

what part of the body does mutations in retinoblastoma affect

A

retina

26
Q

what are the two types of hereditory colorectal cancer

A

FAP

HNPCC

27
Q

what is the inheritance of FAP

A

autosomal dominant

28
Q

what is the mutated gene in FAP

A

APC

29
Q

what does APC do normally

A

stops beta catalyn binding to DNA and activating proliferation

30
Q

when would APC release beta catalyn

A

when there is a growth signal

31
Q

what is FAP characterised by

A

polyps

32
Q

what genes are involved in HNPCC

A

MSH2 and mSH1
