NHEJ
nonhomologous end joining, trim then fuse DNA ends, error prone (??), KU80/KU70 end binding protein complexes w/ DNA-PK (mediates bridging), detele a couple bp's, but just do anything to get it together again.
KU70/KU80 (euk)
heterodimer, end-binding protein, binds dsDNA, complexes w/ DNA-PK, which mediates bridging, not known how it's removed from DNA complex.
DNA-PK
DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit mediates briding btwn the dsDNA break
XRCC4
X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 4, functions w/ DNA ligase IV and DNA-PK in repair of dsDNA break via NHEJ (bacterial = Pri)
DNA ligase IV
complements with XRCC 4 to fix dsDNA breaks via NHEJ (bacterial = Lig D); joins 2 ends of a dsDNA break
Lig D
bacterial form of DNA Lig IV in humans, which fix dsDNA breaks via NHEJ
Homologous recombination
ds break repair: ds break in 1 of 2 homologs is converted to a ds gap by action of endonuclease (produce 3' overhang b/c strands w/ 3' ends are degraded less than those with 5' ends). Exposed 3' end pairs with complement in intact homolog. Other strand of duplex is displaced. the invading 3' end is extended by DNA pol and branch migration, generating a DNA molec w/ 2 crossovers (Halliday intermed). Can have chromosome arms swapped or not swapped; does not lose DNA bps
RuvC
Resolvase that cleaves Holliday junction, binds to RuvAB complex
RuvAB
RuvA binds the 4 strand DNA structure formed in Holliday jxn int, and RuvB migrates strands thru each other, lets Holliday jxn move around, but doesn't require energy; loaded by RuvA
Holliday junction
Mobile junction btwn 4 DNA strands. Homologous sequences, so can slide up and down DNA, facilitated by RuvABC (no ATP req'd) or RecG (requires ATP)
RecBCD
(E.coli) aka Exonuclease V, initiates recombinational repair from dsDNA breaks, it's a helicase and a nuclease (makes ss nicks in DNA). Helicase and nucleaes activities of RecBCD degrade DNA to make 3' overhang. Chi (octameric seq, triggers helicase to start degrading only 1 strand to leave 3' overhang) pauses RecBCD, helicase alters mechanism, continues w/o nuclease. ssDNA is substrate for RecA. HUMAN = MRN
Chi
In homologous recomb, is an octameric seq that pauses RecBCD. Triggers helicase to start degrading only 1 strand to leave 3' overhang.
RecA
(E.coli) susbtrate is ssDNA (formed from RecBCD nuclease/helicase activity). Forms a filament on ssDNA; homologous duplex incorporates into complex; one of the strands in the duplex is transferred to the ssDNA orig bound to the filament; other strand of duplex displaced. (can hold ssDNA or dsDNA --> can make synapse). ATP-dependent. HUMANS = RAD51
MRN complex
(mammals). Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex. Mammalian version of E.coli's RecBCD -- exonuclease activity to create 3' ssDNA ends. Nbs1 recognizes DSB sites. Rad51 coats 3' ssDNA region and finds homologous region on sister chromatid
Rad51
Mammalian version of E.coli's RecA. Coats the ss 3' ends. Dependent on BRCA1&2. ATP-dependent. Promotes strand exchange, pairing 3' end of ss with sister chromatid, DNA pol extends until 3' end can have a "sticky end" with the other 3' end of the ds break, joining it together. DNA pol and ligase fill/ligate the gap.

DUE
DNA unwinding element; part of E.coli's OriC, opening point of DNA, AT rich
ARS
autonomous replicating sequence in yeast, contains Ori
ChIP
chormatin immunoprecipitation; antibody pulldown of protein you think will be bound to DNA

(E.coli) recognizes Ori sequence (wraps DNA to be negatively supercoiled, may help melt DUE); opens duplex at specific sites in origin; requires ATP, dissociates when ADP dissociates; recruits helicase
DnaC
helicase (DnaB) loader, dissociates once DnaB is bound to DNA, ATPase
Hda (kinase)
(E.coli) recruited by clamp, causing ATP hydrolysis and DnaA dissociation.

Tus protein
binds Ter sequences and inhibits DnaB helicase progression, but only in one direction, (cytosine binds Tus and locks it down so helicase can't go past it), this system is not preserved in E.coli
Fork convergence tangle (bact)
Resolution; replicate and use type II topo; or use type IA topo then replicate
Replic prob in euks
in lagging strand synthesis, after RNA primer removal, primase cannot add a new primer, so chromosome ends shorten. Releases Telomere Binding Proteins (TBPs). Further shortening affects expression of Telomere-Shortening Sensitive Genes (TSSGs).

Me on N of Ade or Cyt fixed by AlkB; -Me on O of Guanine fixed by O6-methylguanine methyltransferase
BER
(base excision repair) DNA glycosylase recognizes damaged base and cleaves btwn base and deoxyribose, AP endonuclease cleaves phosphodiester backbone near AP site, DNA pol I initiates repair from free 3'OH at nick, removing a portion of the damaged strand (uses 5' to 3' exonuclease activity) and replaces w/ undamaged DNA, nick sealed with DNA ligase

E.coli methylation
MutH binds Me-GATC, MutS binds mismatch, MutL links MutH and MutS (via DNA loop), MutH cleaves unmethylated strand on 5' side of G in GATC sequence; DNA helicase, exonuclease and SSB removes a segment of the new strand btwn cleavage site and just a lil beyond mismatch, gap filled in by DNA polIII, sealed by DNA ligase; requires 2 ATPs
MSH
(euk) MutS homologs, defects in mismatch excision repair lead to colon cancer; MSH2:MSH6 complex binds the mismatch and identifies newly synthesized strand. MLH1 endonuclease and other factors like PMS2 bind and recruit a helicase and exonuclease, which together remove several nucleotides, including the lesion, gap filled and sealed by Pold
PMS2

MutH
binds me-GATC, activates MutL, cleaves umethylated strand on 5' side of G in GATC
MutS
binds mismatch, linked to MutH by MutL (forms a DNA loop)
TLS
(translesion synthesis) allows DNA replic machinery to replicate past DNA lesions, switches out regular DNA pol for specialized translesion pol (DNA pol V E.coli), with larger active site that can facilitate insertion of bases opposite damaged nucleotides, low fidelity, but efficient at inserting correct bases opposite specific types of damage. put a mistake down and fix later b/c don't want ot impede replication
histones
conserved, 4 core histones: H2A, H2B, H3, H4, helix-turn-helix domain, 147 bp wrapped almost 2x around histone; tails emanate btwn DNA gyres--allowing for post-translational chemical modification by other enzymes
H3/H4
dimer forms tetramer, then assembles with H2A/H2B dimer (cannot form stable tetramer alone)
H2A/H2B
dimer assembles w/ H3/H4 b/c cannot form stable tetramer alone
histone modification
"epigenetic": the marks alter gene fxn, not part of DNA seq but control gene expression (DNA trace)
heterochromatin
histones are hypo-acetylated; Sir2 is a histone deacetylase (removes -OAc), Sir complex (Sir2,3,4) bind cooperatively to de-acetylated chromatin, tightly packing 30nm filament, combined actions of packaging proteins and deacetylase promote heterochromatin spreading and gene silencing; replicated later in S phase
HAT
histone acetyl transferase: scaffold code reader complex recognizes covalent modifications on the histone tail and attracts other proteins, leading to attachment to other components in the nucleus, leading to gene expression, silencing, or other gene fxn
HDAC
histone deacetylase: histone modifying enzyme modifies histone, then a code reader protein comes and causes the adjacent histone to be modified (reader-writer complex)
histone chaperones
control deposition of histones during replication. H3-H4 dimer stays on DNA during replication (H2A-H2B dissociate); CAF-1 loads a new H3-H4 dimer onto new strand, NAP-1 loads H2A-H2B dimer onto strands, where existing H3-H4 already exists
CAF-1
loads a new H3-H4 dimer onto new strand
NAP-1
