DNA Repair

dna repair of gene mutations

DNA repair - most mechanisms require two nuc strands of DNA - replace whole nucs & temp strand need to specify base sequence - Redundent: damage fixed in more than one way
Proofreading - corrects 99% of errors in replication - wrong base= incorrect positioning of 3'-OH group at active site of DNA plymerase to bond with next nuc= stalls polymerization rxn, 3'5' exonuclease activity removes Wbase
Mismatch repair Bacteria: mutS scans DNA for lesion by bending and testing minor groove Eukaryotes/Humans: MSH2 is like MutS. Mutation in one allele leads to HNPCC cancer - corrects replic errs which produce a deformity in the 2ndary structure of DNA - deformity is recoged by enzymes, excise Wpaired nuc.& use orig nuc strand as template to replace Wnucleotid - must recognize old strand from new to know whatbase to remove
How mismatch IDs old strand from new strand of DNA - E. coli, (−CH3) added to particular nuc sequence only after replication, immedly after DNA synth, only the old strand is methylated. - recognized & MR takes place on the unmethylated nucl strand
Direct repair - changes back altered nucleotide, not replace (bact& euk) - photoreactivation of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers: photolyase enzyme uses E from light to break the cov bonds b/w pyrimidines in a dimer via methyltransferase - correction of O6-methylguanine
Base-excision repair - repairs Abnormal bases, modified bases, and pyrid dimers - glycosylase enzymes recognize and excise specific types of modified bases. - entire nuc is then removed & section of the polynucleotide strand is replaced
Nucleotide-excision repair (acts anytime in cell cycle) - bulky DNA lesions that distorts the double helix, including abnormal bases, modified bases, and pyrimidine dimers - the most impo, found in cells of all organisms - The2 DNA strands r separated,section of the DNA containing the distortion removed, DNA
COMPARE ALL REPAIR MECHANISMS - most require presence of two strands, damage is removed, replaced (except in direct repair) - all: detection, excision DNA-repair endonucleases, polymerization by DNA polymerase add new nucs to 3'-OH, Ligation to seal
DIFFERENCES IN REPAIR MECHANISMS -In base-excision and MR, singlenick imade in the sugar–phosphate backbone on one side of the damage; IN nucl-excision repair, nicks on both sides - In base-excision repair, DNA poly displaces old nucs as it adds new nucs to the 3′ end of the nick; IN MR
Double-Strand Breaks Repair - break in DNA helix caused by ionizing radiation, oxidtive free radicals, and other agents - determental: stall DNA replication, lead to chrome rearrangment(deletion, dup, inversion, translocations) 2 Repair mechanisms: homo recomb& nonhomo end joining
Homologous recombination - repair using id'ical or close genetic info contained inanother DNA molecule, usually a sister chromatid - begins with the removal of some nucleotides at the broken ends, followed by strand invasion, displacement, and repli key enzymes: BRCA1 and BRCA2
Nonhomologous end joining - repairs double-strand breaks w/out a homologous template - used when the cell is in G1 & sister chromatid not available -uses proteins that recognize the broken ends of DNA, bind to the ends, and then joins them together -more error prone Insrt/del
Translesion DNA Polymerases - When distortions of the template are encountered, specialized translesion DNA polymerases take over replication and bypass the lesion -allow replication to proceed but introduce more error/mutations
polymerase η (eta) - a translesion DNA polymerase, bypasses pyrimidine dimers in eukaryotes -inserts AA opposite a pyrimidine dimer since about two-thirds of pyrimidine dimers are thymine dimers -However, Results in a C · G→A · T transversion- new mutation introduced
Photoactivated repair -direct repair of thymine dimer- photolyase enzyme -uses blue light to provide energy -not present in placental mammals
SOS repair bacteria -error prone but last chance -finds replacement templates from other copies of DNA in cell instead of other strand -uses translesional DNA polymerases to replicate through altered stretches of DNA
MMR Adenine methylation at GTAC Sequence of old strand MMR-complex Exonucleases - 1nick DNA Polymerase DNA Ligase
B-E R DNA glycosylases - remove base Apurinic/Apyrimidic Site Corresponding endonuclease - 1 Nick exonuc activity DNA Polymerase DNA Ligase
N-E R Complex of enzymes additional enzymes SSBinding Proteins an enzyme - 2 nicks helicase enzyme DNA Polymerase DNA Ligase

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
