DNA mismatch repair defects in certain cell types confer resistance to the cytotoxic effects of alkylating agents, suggesting that a normally functioning DNA mismatch repair pathway can actually mediate alkylation-induced cell death. In eukaryotic cells this phenomenon is only observed in cells lacking adequate DNA methyltransferase for the repair of O6-methylguanine (O6MeG) DNA lesions. It has...
DNA damages, as well as mutations, increase with age. It is believed that these result from increased genotoxic stress and decreased capacity for DNA repair. The two causes are not independent, DNA damage can, for example, through mutations, compromise the capacity for DNA repair, which in turn increases the amount of unrepaired DNA damage. Despite this vicious circle, we ask, can cells maintai...
Organisms have developed several DNA-repair pathways as well as DNA-damage checkpoints to cope with the frequent challenge of endogenous and exogenous DNA insults. In the absence or impairment of such repair or checkpoint mechanisms, the genomic integrity of the organism is often compromised. This review will focus on the functional consequences of impaired DNA-repair pathways. Although each pa...
The temporal regulation of DNA repair during synchronous cell proliferation was examined in normal human skin fibroblasts and in Bloom's syndrome skin fibroblasts. Normal human cells regulated DNA repair in a defined temporal sequence prior to the induction of DNA replication. Nucleotide-excision repair was stimulated prior to the induction of base-excision repair, which itself was increased pr...
Numerous agents of endogenous and exogenous origin damage DNA in our genome. There are several DNA-repair pathways that recognize lesions in DNA and remove them through a number of diverse reaction sequences. Defects in DNA-repair proteins are associated with several human hereditary syndromes, which show a marked predisposition to cancer. Although DNA repair is essential for a healthy cell, DN...
Most antitumour therapies damage tumour cell DNA either directly or indirectly. Without repair, damage can result in genetic instability and eventually cancer. The strong association between the lack of DNA damage repair, mutations and cancer is dramatically demonstrated by a number of cancer-prone human syndromes, such as xeroderma pigmentosum, ataxia-telangiectasia and Fanconi anemia. Notably...
DNA is a precious molecule. It encodes vital information about cellular content and function. There are only two copies of each chromosome in the cell, and once the sequence is lost no replacement is possible. The irreplaceable nature of the DNA sets it apart from other cellular molecules, and makes it a critical target for age-related deterioration. To prevent DNA damage cells have evolved ela...
DNA Repair is responsible for counteracting the effects of the constant damage incurred to DNA. Decades of study on the topic have uncovered that DNA repair comes in many forms, though the field is far from complete. We show how machine learning techniques are able to learn and distinguish DNA Repair proteins from other nuclear proteins as well as classify types of DNA Repair proteins. Applicat...
The human single-stranded DNA binding protein (HSSB/RPA) is involved in several processes that maintain the integrity of the genome including DNA replication, homologous recombination, and nucleotide excision repair of damaged DNA. We report studies that analyze the role of HSSB in DNA repair. Specific protein-protein interactions appear to be involved in the repair function of HSSB, since it c...
DNA-binding proteins search for specific targets via facilitated diffusion along a crowded genome. However, little is known about how crowded DNA modulates facilitated diffusion and target recognition. Here we use DNA curtains and single-molecule fluorescence imaging to investigate how Msh2-Msh3, a eukaryotic mismatch repair complex, navigates on crowded DNA. Msh2-Msh3 hops over nucleosomes and...
