چکیده

Oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN)-mediated gene alteration was postulated to occur in two steps, DNA strand pairing and DNA repair. Once alignment has occurred through homologous strand pairing, a single mismatch is formed between an oligonucleotide and one of the target strands. Because of this mismatch, it has been suggested that proteins involved in a mismatch repair pathway (MMR) participate in the process. We proposed an alternative model, in which a transient assimilation of ODN to the target DNA can interrupt the trafficking of RNA polymerase, and the stalled RNA polymerase may signal for recruitment of DNA repair proteins, including transcription-coupled (TCR) DNA repair and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways. Recently, we found that transcription of many genes participating in NER and MMR was induced by the presence of plasmid DNA, and the extent of induction correlated with episomal gene repair rates. To investigate whether an increased level of induction of genes involved in specific DNA repair pathways has a functional role in ODN-directed gene repair, we performed episomal targeting in several cell lines with a specific defective gene in NER and MMR pathways. Comparison among several genetically related cell lines harboring a specific defective gene and complementation of missing activities showed that a primary pathway for gene correction involves some of the proteins participating in NER, primarily two endonucleases processing a DNA lesion, but not MMR.

Nucleotide excision repair endonuclease genes in Drosophila melanogaster.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the primary pathway for the removal of ultraviolet light-induced damage and bulky adducts from DNA in eukaryotes. During NER, the helix is unwound around the damaged site, and incisions are made on the 5' and 3' sides, to release an oligonucleotide carrying the lesion. Repair synthesis can then proceed, using the intact strand as a template. The incisions fla...

Coordination of dual incision and repair synthesis in human nucleotide excision repair.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) requires the coordinated sequential assembly and actions of the involved proteins at sites of DNA damage. Following damage recognition, dual incision 5' to the lesion by ERCC1-XPF and 3' to the lesion by XPG leads to the removal of a lesion-containing oligonucleotide of about 30 nucleotides. The resulting single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gap on the undamaged strand i...

Reconstitution of human excision nuclease with recombinant XPF-ERCC1 complex.

The human XPF-ERCC1 protein complex is one of several factors known to be required for general nucleotide excision repair. Genetic data indicate that both proteins of this complex are necessary for the repair of interstrand cross-links, perhaps via recombination. To determine whether XPF-ERCC1 completes a set of six proteins that are sufficient to carry out excision repair, the human XPF and ER...

Mechanism of open complex and dual incision formation by human nucleotide excision repair factors.

During nucleotide excision repair in human cells, a damaged DNA strand is cleaved by two endonucleases, XPG on the 3' side of the lesion and ERCC1-XPF on the 5' side. These structure-specific enzymes act at junctions between duplex and single-stranded DNA. ATP-dependent formation of an open DNA structure of approximately 25 nt around the adduct precedes this dual incision. We investigated the m...
