    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
