Resumo de Recurso
Repair of DNA double strand breaks by protein repair machines
DNA damage
DNA is composed of phosphate backbone and sugar moiety attached to a phosphate
Moieties are prone to damage
Most damage occurs intracelluarly
Replication errors
Double strand breaks are the most lethal form of damage
Replication cannot proceed if DNA is broken
DNA damage can be a result of
Cancer
Ageing
Neurological dysfunction
Neuronal cells are particularly sensitive to DNA damage as they can't be replaced
Causes of DNA breaks
Exogenous
Radiation
Chemicals
Endogenous
Oxygen: free radicals
Can produce SSB and DSB
DNA replication
Specialised
V(D)J recombination
Cell actively produces breaks and sticks them back together to produce antibodies
Class switching
Changing of one antibody to another
Meiosis
Most of the time this damage is repaired
If there is lots of damage the kinase signalling pathway is activated
Apoptosis
If the break is incorrectly repaired this causes genome instability resulting in cancer
Unrepaired DNA breaks cause translocations
The arm of one chromosome is transferred to another
Karyotype of an advanced tumour will look very mixed up
Accumulation of broken chromosomes is an early marker of uncontrolled cell growth
You can grade cells on appearance of DSBs
As cells go from normal to cancer cells, major rearrangement occurs
Transition from normal to cancer cells is mediated by genome instability
Double strand break repair pathways
Homologous recombination
2 homologous DNA molecules aligned
Despite the high degree of similarity there are small differences such as sequence variants for different alleles
Formation of initial short regions of base pairing between the 2 recombining DNA molecules
Strand invasion
Single strand region of DNA from parental molecule pairs with complementary strand on homologous duplex DNA molecule
Process regions of new duplex DNA are generated- heteroduplex DNA
Holliday junction formation
2 DNA molecules become connected by crossing DNA strands
Branch migration
Holliday junction can move along DNA by repeated melting and formation of base pairs
Identical base pairs are formed in the recombination intermediate
Cleavage of Holliday junction: resolution
Cutting DNA strands in Holliday junction regenerates 2 separate duplex DNA molecules and finishes genetic exchange
The DNA strands cut has a large impact on the extent of DNA exchange that occurs between the 2 recombining molecules
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
Sequence information is lost from broken ends
Original sequence across the break is not faithfully restored during NHEJ
2 ends of broken DNA are joined to each other by misalignment between single strands protruding from both ends
Misalignment occurs by pairing between tiny stretches of complementary bases
Ku70 and Ku80 form a heterodimer that binds to DNA ends
DNA-PKcs are recruited
DNA PKcs form a complex with Artemis
Artemis is a 5'-3' exonuclease and latent endonuclease that is activated by phosphorylation of DNA-PKcs
These nucleolytic activities process broken ends and prepare them for ligation
Ligation is carried out by ligase IV/XRCC4/Cernunnos-XLF
Bacteria
NHEJ occurs less frequently in bacteria
Bacillus subtilis produces a Ku-like protein and DNA ligase when it sporulates and packages proteins into a mature spore
Mutant spores lacking these proteins are susceptible to dry heat
Known to cause DNA breaks
Upon germination, heated mutant spores unable to resume growth as they are unable to rejoin heat induced breaks
Spores only have 1 chromosome
Cannot rely on sister chromatids
Spore chromosome is tightly coiled like a doughnut
Holds ends of DNA in close proximity
Close juxtaposition could facilitate correct rejoining of ends even if chromosome sustained multiple breaks
Ku is a homodimer
