Base Excision Repair

DNA Damage and BER
• Bases damaged by RONs (respiration and inflammation)
• Uracil, deamination products• Methylated bases (endogenous processes,
environment, and chemotherapy)• Active demethylation• Somatic hypermutation• 20,000-50,000 lesions/cell/day
Pol β Plays a Critical Role in Base Excision Repair

Y265C Pol β is a Cancer-Associated Fidelity Mutant
• Slow polymerase. Extremely low catalytic efficiency.
• Has similar affinity as WT Pol β for single nucleotide gapped DNA.
• Mutator activity.• Induces anchorage independent
growth.

Is Y265C Pol β Associated With The Development of Cancer?
Senejani et al. PNAS 2012
Mice Deleted of POL B
• Perinatal lethality.• Massive apoptosis of postmitotic neurons.• Perinatal lethality not rescued by crossing into
TP53∆.• Embryonic lethality in a PRDCK∆ background;
high levels of neuronal apoptosis.

Cells are Dying in Germinal Centers of POLB-Y265C Mice
Summary• Pol β Y265C polymerase has low catalytic efficiency
and is error prone• Cells from POLB-Y265C mice exhibit genomic
instability• POLB-Y265C embryos exhibit massive apoptosis• POLB-Y265C mice are BER deficient• POLB-Y265C mice develop lupus
• Aberrant immune repertoire
Summary• Germline variants in DNA repair genes are linked
to and perhaps cause lupus development• DNA repair processes function in the
development of the immune repertoire• Defective DNA repair can result in mutations or
cell death, both of which can lead to the development of autoimmunity.
