Mechanisms to repair damaged DNAor mispaired DNA
Usually involves synthesis of portions of only one DNA strand
Involves synthesis of 1 to >1000 nt depending on type of repair reaction
Types of DNA damage
1. Spontaneous
C. Oxidative damage to bases (life span of an organism is inversely correlated with metabolic rate/DNA oxidation)
B. Loss of bases - depurination and depyrimidation (~5000 purines are lost per human cell per day)
A. Base deamination (ex: cytosine is converted to uracil at a rate of ~100 bases per human cell per day)
2. Environmental damage
B. Chemical agents (e.g., benzo[a]pyrene)
A. Radiation (ionizing and ultraviolet)
Surveillance
•For all types of DNA damage
•Surveillance factors with different recognition specificities continually scanning the DNA for damage or mispairs
•Upon finding a damage or mistakes, surveillance factors recruit other repair factors

Mismatch repair
Primary source of DNA alterations arising during normal DNA metabolism is mispairing of bases during DNA synthesis
In eukaryotes, deamination of 5-methyl cytosine generates a thymine (and a T:G base pair) and is corrected by mismatch repair

Question: Bases are not damaged, only incorrectly paired. How does the mismatch repair machinery determine which is the correct base and which is the incorrect base?

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC)
•HNPCC is a hereditary cancer syndrome with individuals having increased incidence of colon cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial tumors
•Caused by defects in human mismatch repair genes that are homologous to bacterial mismatch repair genes
- Defects in hMSH2 (human mutS homolog) account for ~60% of HNPCC cases
- Defects in hMLH1 (human mutL homolog) account for ~30% of HNPCC cases
•Cells from HNPCC patients are 100-fold more mutable than normal patients
Reduction in error rate
Base pairing can lead to error frequency of ~10-1 -10-2 (i.e., errors per nucleotide incorporated)
DNA polymerase actions (polymerase specificity and 3’ --> 5’ proofreading) can lead to error frequency of ~10-5-10-6
Accessory proteins (e.g., SSBs) can lead to error frequency of ~10-7
Post replicative mismatch repair can lead to error frequency of ~10-10

AT is a genetic disorder with a incidence of 1 per 40,000 births
Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT)
Approx. 10% of individuals with AT develop neoplasms, such as Hodgkin’s disease, with most of these occurring with people less than 20 years of age
The overall cancer incidence in homozygotes is ~100-fold increased.
AT individuals have defects in gene encoding the checkpoint kinase ATM
The tumor suppressor p53The tumor suppressor p53
•The 'guardian of the genome’
•Functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor regulating a large number of genes
•The most frequently mutated gene in cancer
•Responsive to a wide array of signals that stress the cell including:
DNA damagehypoxiahyperproliferative signals emanating from oncogenes
p53-dependent apoptosis suppresses tumor growthp53-dependent apoptosis suppresses tumor growth
