 DNA damage, if not repaired, may affect
replication and transcription, leading to
mutation or cell death
 DNA repair is a collection of processes by
which a cell identifies and corrects damage
to the DNA molecules that encode its
genome.
What is DNA repair?
Efficient DNA replication
DNA replication is highly efficient process
Replication error rate is only 1 defect in 10 8 nucleotides
DNA repair rate is 99%
Unrepaired error rate is only 1 in 10 10
nucleotides
Human genome=6.4x10 9 base pairs

SOS response
 SOS repair occurs when cells are
overwhelmed by UV damage - this allows
the cell to survive but at the cost of
mutagenesis.
 SOS response only triggered when other
repair systems are overwhelmed by amount
of damage so that unrepaired DNA
accumulates in the cell.

Mismatch repair(MMR)
• MMR system is an excision/resynthesis system that
can be divided into 4 phases:
• (i) recognition of a mismatch by MutS proteins
• (ii) recruitment of repair enzymes
• (iii) excision of the incorrect sequence,
• (iv) resynthesis by DNA polymerase using the
parental strand as a template.
When MMR is implicated?
 When a mismatch base is
encountered
 When DNA polymerase slippage
forms loop type defect
During replication,
In prokaryotes like E.coli…
Mut proteins
Mut S Mut L Mut H
Scans DNA and
recognize the
mismatch base
on daughter strand
-Links Mut S and Mut H
-Activates Mut H
-Binds the complex to
hemi methylated GATC
sequence
-Helicase activity
Clinical importance
hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer ( HNPCC )
Faulty mismatch repair
Mutation in gene hMSH2 and hMLH1
Defective mismatch repair mechanism

In eukaryotes-
MutS homologs: Msh2/Msh6 (MutSα)

MutL homologs: MLH1 and PMS2(MutLα)

MMR & NER
Microsatellite instability (MSI)
It is a condition manifested by damaged DNA due to
defects in the normal DNA repair process.
Microsatellites are repeated sequences of DNA
A dinucleotide repeat of CA, is most common
DNA polymerase slips out from these sequences
while replication and forms loop
This is corrected by MMR and NER mechanism
Defect in MMR will result in increase or decrease length
Microsatellites
It will cause DNA mutation

Base excision repair
 Variety of DNA glycosylases, for different types of
damaged bases.
 They scan the genome and flips out the wrong base
 AP endonuclease recognizes sites with a missing
base; cleaves sugar-phosphate backbone.
 (Deoxyribose phosphate lyase) removes the sugar-
phosphate lacking the base.
Nucleotide Excision Repair
Used for repair of DNA adducts
EXAMPLES: thymine-thymine dimers
Produced by chemical and UV radiation damage
Nucleotide Excision repair in E.coli
1.UvrA and UvrB scan DNA to identify a distortion
2. UvrA leaves the complex ,and UvrB melts DNA
locally around the distortion
3. UvrC forms a complex with UvrB and creates nicks
to the 5’ side of the lesion
4. DNA helicase UvrD releases the single stranded
fragment from the duplex, and DNA Pol I and ligase
repair and seal the gap
Nucleotide excision repair in eukaryotes
Two major pathways
Global genome repair Transcription coupled repair
Type of protein Function
DDB1 ,DDB2(XPE)
XPC

XPG -- Stabilizes TFIIH
-- Endonuclease activity

XPB

Act as ATPase
XPA Involved in damage
verification
XPF endonuclease
Clinical Importance
 Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive
genetic disease .
 The clinical syndrome include marked sensitivity to
sunlight ( UV rays ) with subsequent formation of
multiple skin cancers & premature death .
 The risk of developing skin cancer is increased 1000
to 2000 fold.
 Cells cultured from patients with xeroderma
pigmentosum exhibit low activity for the nucleotide
excision repair process

End-joining repair of nonhomologous DNA
 Two proteins are involved in the non homologous
rejoining of a DNA break .
 Ku protein, a hetero dimer with two subunits
bind to free DNA ends & has latent ATP
dependent helicase activity .
 The DNA bound Ku hetero dimer recruits an unusual
DNA dependent Protein kinase
( DNA – PK )
 DNA – PK has a binding site for DNA free ends
 It allows the approximation of the 2 separated ends .
 The free end DNA/Ku/DNA – PK complex activates the
kinase activity in the later.
 DNA – PK reciprocally phosphorylates Ku .
 DNA – PK then dissociates from the DNA & Ku,
resulting in activation of the Ku helicase.
 This results in unwinding of the 2 ends.
 The unwound approximated DNA forms base pairs.
 The extra nucleotide tails are removed by an
exonuclease & the gaps are filled and closed by DNA
ligase .
Homologous recombination
Double strand break
MRN complex binds to DNA on either side of the break
