The molecular mechanism of DNA damage recognition by MutS homologs and its consequences for cell death response
We determined the molecular mechanism of cell death response by MutS homologs in distinction to the repair event. Key protein-DNA contacts differ in the interaction of MutS homologs with cisplatinated versus mismatched DNA. Mutational analyses of protein-DNA contacts, which were predicted by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, were performed. Mutations in suggested interaction sites can affect...
متن کاملSelective recognition of a cisplatin-DNA adduct by human mismatch repair proteins.
The antitumor agent cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) introduces cytotoxic DNA damage predominantly in the form of intrastrand crosslinks between adjacent purines. Binding assays using a series of duplex oligonucleotides containing a single 1,2 diguanyl intrastrand crosslink indicate that human cell extracts contain factors that preferentially recognise this type of damage when the c...
متن کاملIdentifying biomarkers for resistance to novel cisplatin analogues in human lung, breast and prostate cancers
Identifying Biomarkers for Resistance to Novel Cisplatin Analogues in Human Lung, Breast and Prostate Cancers by Becky Michelle Hess Dr. Bryan L. Spangelo, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Chemistry University of Nevada, Las Vegas Cisplatin is a common therapeutic agent used in cancer treatment. Unfortunately, resistance to cisplatin in addition to severe side effects limits its use in ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamic simulations of cisplatin- and oxaliplatin-d(GG) intrastand cross-links reveal differences in their conformational dynamics.
Mismatch repair proteins, DNA damage-recognition proteins and translesion DNA polymerases discriminate between Pt-GG adducts containing cis-diammine ligands (formed by cisplatin (CP) and carboplatin) and trans-RR-diaminocyclohexane ligands (formed by oxaliplatin (OX)) and this discrimination is thought to be important in determining differences in the efficacy, toxicity and mutagenicity of thes...
متن کاملResistance to cytotoxic drugs in DNA mismatch repair-deficient cells.
Loss of DNA mismatch repair is a common finding in many types of sporadic human cancers as well as in tumors arising in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer. The effect of the loss of DNA mismatch repair activity on sensitivity to a panel of commonly used chemotherapeutic agents was tested using one pair of cell lines proficient or deficient in mismatch repair due to loss of hMSH2...
