Study Notes
Nucleotide Excision Repair
- Purpose: to remove DNA damage, specifically bulky lesions and UV-induced damage
- Uses UV-specific endonuclease (UvrABC) to recognize and cleave the damaged strand
- Removes helix-distorting DNA lesions, including UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers
Mismatch Repair
- Purpose: to correct mis-incorporated bases during DNA replication
- Involves 5 major proteins in E. coli: MutS, MutL, MutH, Exonuclease 1, and DNA polymerase III
- MutS recognizes the mismatch and recruits MutL
- MutH cuts the DNA strand flanking the mismatch
- Exonuclease 1 removes the mismatched DNA strand
- DNA polymerase III synthesizes and fills the gap
- Ligase seals the gap
- After Ligase seals the gap, the corrected DNA strand is restored
