|
Name the 4 enzymes in BER and describe their sequential reactions which result in the repair of mutaiton
|
1) DNA glycosylase - cleaves N-glycosidic bond of damaged base, creating an AP site
2) AP endonuclease - nicks one side of AP site, creating a template where DNA polymerase I can enter 3) DNA polymerase I - polymerases through AP site using the other strand as a template 4) DNA ligase - ligases the nick |
|
Name 3 E.coli genes and 3 enzymes in NER and describe their reactions
|
1) uvrA - recognizes the damage site
2) uvrB - is the nucleotide excision repair. it attaches to ATPase and works with uvrA to bind to DNA. then uvrA leaves to make a stable uvrB-DNA complex 3) uvrC - binds to uvrB-DNA complex and make incisions of both side of the lesion 4) uvrD (helicase) - removes oligonucleotide 5) DNA pol 1 replaces DNA 6) DNA ligase ligases the nick |
|
Name the 3 proteins and 3 enzymes in mismatch repair and describe their function
|
1) mutS and mutL recognize and binds to mismatch and recruits MutH. they pull DNA through until MutH hits methylated site
4) exonuclease cleaves up to the mismatch 5) pol 3 fills in DNA 6) DNA ligase ligates the nick |
|
what are the 3 polymerase of translesio DNA synthesis, and what do they do?
|
pol 4 and 5 synthesize DNA through the lesion, giving them a low fidelity, and pol 2 restarts replication after the lesion bypass is complete.

|
iota
eta |
