DSB repair by protein machines
- Nucleases
- Cutting enzymes
- Cleave nucleic
acids
- Exonucleases
- Remove
terminal
nucleotides
from 5' and 3'
- DNA replication
- Polymerase is very
accurate and has its own
nuclease
- It can go back and
immediately cut out damage
- 3'-5' exonuclease removes
mis-incorporated
nucleotides
- Eukaryotes
- DNA pol delta and gamma
- E.coli
- Pol 1
- DNA repair and
recombination
- Damage is
recognised and
cut out
- DNA polymerase fills
gap and DNA ligase
secures
- NHEJ
- Own 3' nuclease
- If nuclease is left free
it will cut DNA and
genetic information
will be lost
- Ku binds DNA to
protect ends from
nuclease
- Endonucleases
- Cleave
internal
bonds
- RNases
- DNases
- Can drive
reactions forwards
or backwards due
to their equilibrium
- DNA ligase
- Co factors
- Ecoli
- NAD+
- Eukaryotes
- ATP
- Need 5' P
and 3' OH
- Makes
phosphodiester
bond
- Ligase binds ATP
- Hydrolyses ATP to AMP
- Attaches AMP to itself via a lysine bond
- Uses energy to facilitate bond formation
- Ligase transfers phosphate moiety to
other side forming ADP
- Enzyme catalyses attack of OH
- AMP released back into solution
- Ligation assay using gel
to follow molecule getting
larger
- Types of DNA ends
- Blunt ends
- Sticky ends
- Incompatible ends
- Non homolgous end joining
- Bacteria
- Ku binds ends of DNA break
- Polymerase fills DNA gap
bringing ends together
- Phosphodiesterase cleaves
nucleotides from DNA leaving 3'
OH and 5'P
- Ligase repairs DNA nick
- If polymerases aren't
controlled they will keep
synthesising DNA
resulting in displacement
of original DNA
- Nuclease removes
unwanted DNA
- Bacterial DNA ligases
- LigD is ATP dependent
DNA ligase
- Multidomain protein
- Polymerase,
nuclease and
ligase
- Can add
nucleotides to
ssDNA or blunt
dsDNA in a
template
independent
manner
- PolDom can fill in ss
gaps to extend 3'
resected primers
- PolDom inserts
nucleotides opposite
8-oxoG and extends
base pair
- PolDom dislocates
and realigns template
strand
- Important for
abasic sites
- Microhomology mediated DSB repair
- DSB with complementary
overhangs only needs ligase
from LigD as it can be aligned
properly
- When ends are not
complementary Ku-LigD complex
searches for areas of
microhomology to form a
synpatic complex
- Aligns break, resection, gap
filling and ligation
- Eukaryotes
- Ku70/80 heterodimer binds DNA ends
- DNA-PKcs recruited and
activated
- DNA-Pkcs form complex with Artemis
- Artemis is a 5'-3' exonuclease activated by DNA-PKcs
- Processes broken ends and prepares them for ligation
- Ligation carried out by XRCC4/Cernunnos XLF/DNA
ligase IV
- Formation of AMP complex called adenylate complex
- AMP moiety transferred to DNA adenylate complex
- LIgase catalyses attack by 3'OH to join the
polynucleotides and release AMP
- Prokaryotes
- Ku binds to 3' end and recruits LigD which recognises 5'P
- Non-extendable 3' termini can be resected by
NucDom of LigD
- Resynthesised by PolDom and ligation occurs
