Cards

Term
Mismatch Repair (enzymes needed) E.Coli
Definition

MutH

MutL (key protein)

MutS (key protein)

DAM

Exonucleases

 

Corrects spontaneous replication errors, mistmatches and 1 to 3 base insertions and deletions. It also deals with some bases mispaired due to the presence of lesions in DNA

Term
MutH
Definition
Endonuclease that specifically recognizes GATC sequences cutting only the strand containing the unmethylated A (INITIATES REMOVAL OF CUTTING OF THE BASE)
Term
MutL
Definition
Function unclear, interacts with MutS and is required for mismatch repair
Term
MutS
Definition
recognition of mismatches in DNA (triggers MutL and MutH)
Term
DAM
Definition
DNA adenine mehtylase, methylates A to produce N6-methyl-A which directs mismatch repair to the newly synthesized DNA strand
Term
Where does MutH cut?
Definition

between the G and A of teh GATC sequence and ONLY if A is unmethylated

It cuts nearest GATC on either side of mismatch

Term
Exo VII or RecJ
Definition
cuts in the 5'--> 3' direction
Term
ExoI, ExoX
Definition
cuts in the 3'--5' direction
Term
DNA Pol III and ligase
Definition
requences cut and seals up the nick
Term
Lesions
Definition
Chemical change that occurs in DNA resulting in a chemically modified base, sugar, or phosphate
Term
Mutations
Definition
change in DNA sequence (bases are chemically normal, but 1 or more bases are different sequence from that of wild type). Single base change, deletion, insertion, etc.
Term
Abasic Site
Definition
intact backbone, deoxyribose is present, but base is missing
Term
Nick
Definition
Break in DNA backbone, no missing base or sugar
Term
Gap
Definition
break in DNA backbone, one or more missing bases
Term
Mediated Mutagenesis
Definition

Error prone DNA polymerases are recruited to DNA damage sites and complete replication at the expense of increased mutageneis.

(read with lower fidelity and have a higher frequency of making a mutation)

 

prokaryotes-SOS system

Eukaryotes-14 polymerases

Term
UV damage
Definition
photolyase activated by blue light (300-500nm) fixes the double bond that was created between bases
Term
[image]
Definition

graph 1- shows that uvrA and recA are doing two separate thigns to repair UV repair

 

graph 2- recA seems to be responsible in tolerance of dimers uvrA is used to remove the dimers

Term

Nucleotide Excision Repair

(e.coli)

Definition
  1. uvrA recognizes BEND in DNA (not just islolated to dimerization)
  2. uvrB and uvrC are recuruited and then uvrA leaves
  3. uvrB and uvrC cleaves 7bp upstream and 4bp downstream from damaged site
  4. uvrB and C recruit uvrD
  5. uvrD(helicase) unwinds DNA
  6. pol I will resynthesize DNA  (only pol I works with this system)
  7. DNA ligase seals this up
Term

Nucleotide Excision Repair

(eukaryotic system)

Definition
  1. XPC/hHR23B binds to lesion
  2. DDB1 and DDB2 bind to XPC
  3. XPA comes in and fits itself into unpaired region
  4. XPA recruits TFIIH (a 10 protein transcription factor complex) recruits XPB and XPD
  5. RPA is a single DNA binding protein that binds to one side
  6. XPB and XPD (helicases) open up region for polymerase
  7. XPG gets recruited. This is the key scaffolding onto which other proteins are built upon.
  8. XPG recruits XPF(uvrC equivalent).Then XPG makes a cut on 3' site and XPF makes a cut on 5' site
  9. All of the complex workers together and is replaced by the polarization of  pol gamma/epsilon, RFC, and PCNA which work toegether to replace the piece of DNA
  10. Ligase I lagates the nick at the end
  11. Ligase I leaves
Term

Pulse labeling experiment

(how does it work)

 [image]

[image]

Definition
  1. The alkaline sucrose separates the strands
  2. 3-thymidine is inserted into DNA
  3. in the wns graph of fig 1, the DNA that is synthesized after UV damage is synthesized in short pieces
  4. in the second graph of fig 2, the recA has ligated all the strands therefore you see a longer piece of labeled DNA strands
Term

Recombinational Repair

(correction of the dimerization of two base pairs)

Definition

[image]

afterwards there is translesion synthesis

Term
Translesion Synthesis
Definition

 replication occurs over area which has damaged DNA by POL V

 

pol V is known to cause mutations due to its inability to read the proper DNA sequences and insert random DNA bases to fill in the gap; therefore, the repair mechanism is mutagenic

 

 

Term
Base Exicision Repair
Definition
  1. Glycosolase is used to clase base ou, leaving sugar, phosphate and ribose intact
  2. AP endonuclease cuts backbone of 3' site
  3. Polymerase and ligase repair and seal strand
Term
Features of DNA Glycosylase
Definition
low MW proteins
no co-factor
hydrolyze glycoslyic bond
flip base our of helix and into active site
there are two types
  1. monofunctional glycosylase
  2. bifunctional glycosylase, which is able to do:
    1.  beta elimination-cleaves backbone onone site and AP endonuclease cleaves other site
    2. beta delta elimination-cleaves off both ends
Term
Multiple Pathways of BER
Definition
  1. Can do glycosylas, AP endonuclease, pol and ligase                       OR
  2. XRC, PCNA, pol δ/ε, etc.
Term
Methylated Group Removal
Definition
Ada is a protein which is thought to act by flipping out the base, THEN removing the methyl group
 
ADA transfers OH to methyl group which is then too unstable to be on the base and comes off thereby repairing the methylated DNA.

Term
Transcription Coupled Repair
Definition

RNAP, when stalled at a lesion, recruits repair enzymes

 

in the case of NER, 

  1. Mfd stalls RNA pol
  2. then kicks off hte RNA pol
  3. uvrA is recruited and this process occurs
Term

Transcription Repair (NER)

in Eukaryotes

Definition
  1. RNAP is stalled by CSB
  2. all the NER proteins are recruited EXCEPT recognition protein
