Yeast Tdp1 regulates the fidelity of nonhomologous end joining.
Tyrosyl-DNA-phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) can disjoin peptides covalently bound to DNA. We assessed the role of Tdp1 in nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and found that linear DNA molecules with 5' extensions showed a high frequency of misrepair in Deltatdp1 cells. The joining errors in Deltatdp1 cells were predominantly 2-4 nucleotide insertions. Ends with 3' extensions or blunt ends did not show ...
متن کاملCheckpoint kinase 2-mediated phosphorylation of BRCA1 regulates the fidelity of nonhomologous end-joining.
The tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 maintains genomic integrity by protecting cells from the deleterious effects of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Through its interactions with the checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) kinase and Rad51, BRCA1 promotes homologous recombination, which is typically an error-free repair process. In addition, accumulating evidence implicates BRCA1 in the regulation of nonhomolog...
متن کاملThe fidelity of the ligation step determines how ends are resolved during Nonhomologous end joining
Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) can effectively resolve chromosome breaks despite diverse end structures; however, it is unclear how the steps employed for resolution are determined. We sought to address this question by analysing cellular NHEJ of ends with systematically mispaired and damaged termini. We show NHEJ is uniquely proficient at bypassing subtle terminal mispairs and radiomimetic d...
متن کاملProofreading Activity of DNA Polymerase Pol2 Mediates 3′-End Processing during Nonhomologous End Joining in Yeast
Genotoxic agents that cause double-strand breaks (DSBs) often generate damage at the break termini. Processing enzymes, including nucleases and polymerases, must remove damaged bases and/or add new bases before completion of repair. Artemis is a nuclease involved in mammalian nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), but in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the nucleases and polymerases involved in NHEJ pathway...
متن کاملBacterial nonhomologous end joining requires teamwork.
All living organisms must repair DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) in order to survive. Many bacteria rely on nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) when only a single copy of the genome is available and maintain NHEJ pathways with a minimum of two proteins. In this issue, Bhattarai and colleagues identify additional factors that can work together to aid in survival of stationary-phase cells with chr...
