  1. 1What does DNA cross link repair fix?Genome instability induced by DNA cross-linking reagents (E.g. sister chromatid exchange, chromosome fusions)
  2. 2Name and describe a disease that is associated with genome instabilityFanconi anaemia: 1000 fold risk of cancer (leukaemia), stem cell failure in the bone marrow, growth retardation, abnormal development
  3. 3The majority Fanconi anaemia genes are part of which pathway?Ubiquitin signalling
  4. 4Give an outline of the Fanconi anaemia repair pathway– Recruitment of FA complex
    – mono ubiquitinylation of FAND2
    – recruitment of DNA repair factors
    – unhooking by MUS81 and XPF1 nucleases
    – translesion synthesis
    – adduct excision by NER pathway
    – DSP end resection
    – homologous recombination
  5. 5Causes of single-stranded breaksDirect: H2O2, abortive activity of topoisomerase 1
    indirect: intermediates of BER and NER
  6. 6Cellular effects of unrepaired SSBsBlockage/collapse of DNA replication fork
    stalling of RNA polymerase
    excessive activation of PARP1
  7. 7How SSBs detected?– PARP1 is activated by binding to SSB
    – adds pADPr chains to itself and target protein
    – PARP 1 dissociates from DNA
    – pADPr glycohydrolase (PARG) degrades pADPr chains
  8. 8DNA gap filling during SSB repairAnalogous to BER:
    short patch repair by polymerase beta
    long patch repair by polymerase beta Delta or Epsilon & FEN 1
  9. 9Enzymes involved in SSB repair ligationShort patch repair: LIG3
    long patch repair: LIG 1
  10. 10Name to diseases associated with SSBAtaxia oculomotor apraxia 1 (AOA 1)
    spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy 1 (SCA N1)
  11. 11Characteristics of AOA 1– Variable onset
    – cerebellar atrophy and ataxia
    – late axonal peripheral neuropathy
    – oculomotor apraxia
    – only mildly sensitive to genotoxins
    – caused by APTX mutations
  12. 12Characteristics of SCAN 1– cerebellar atrophy
    – peripheral neuropathy
    – late onset
    – no cognitive decline
    – caused by TDP 1 mutation
  13. 13Very brief outline of SSB repair steps– Detection by PARP 1
    – DNA and processing
    – DNA gap filling
    – ligation
  14. 14What are the 2 sub- pathways of NERAnd how do they differ?Transcription coupled (operates on transcriptional reactive DNA)
    global genomic (rest of genome)
    Differ in DNA damage recognition
  15. 15How does global genomic NER recognised damage DNA?Protein XPC bound to R 23
  16. 16Steps of global genomic NER– Damage recognised by XPC bound to R 23
    – XPA, RPA, TF2H, XPG bind
    –TF2H subunits unwind double helix within damaged region
    – ERCC1–XPF cuts damage strand at junctions 5' to damage site
    – XPG cuts at 3' to damage site
    – fragment excised
    – repair of gap (DNA poll Delta/Epsilon, PCNA, RFC)
  17. 17Steps of transcription coupled NER– Transcription arrested
    – recruitment of large protein complex
    – complex removes stalled transcription machinery from site of damage
    – NER carried out
    – transcription resumes
  18. 18General steps of NER– DNA damage--> bulky adducts
    – removal of segment containing lesion
    – undamaged strand uses template by polymerase
    – ligation by DNA ligase
  19. 19Disease is associated with NERXeroderma pigmentosum
    Cockayne syndrome
  20. 20Xeroderma pigmentosum symptoms– UV sensitivity
    – pigmentation abnormalities
    – atrophic skin
    – skin cancer
    – accelerated neurological degeneration
  21. 21Genes involved in xeroderma pigmentosumXPA – XPG
  22. 22Symptoms of Cockayne syndrome– Growth failure
    – impaired nervous system development
    – sensitivity to UV light
    – eyes disorders
    – impaired sexual development
    – not associated with cancer
  23. 23Genes involved in Cockayne syndromeCSA, CSB, XP B, X PD, XPG
