Q

Progerias is

Study These Flashcards
A

Premature aging

22
Q

DNA synthesis in pro vs eu

Study These Flashcards
A

Pro throughout the cell cycle
Eu during S phase only

23
Q

Nucleosomes fate
Histones source

Study These Flashcards
A

During replication nucleosomes are disassembled to allow access of DNA however once the na is formed they quickly reform

Histones either parental or de novo
Randomly distributed

24
Q

When does the synthesis of histones occur

Study These Flashcards
A

During DNA replication

25
Overall differences in replication as a process
Eukaryotes are slower Many Ori C Shorter okazaki fragments Longer primers
26
DNA is constantly subjected to.... Types of damaging agents
Environmental insults Chemical> nitrous acid causing deamination Radiation> Non ionizing, UV causes pyrimidine dimer Ionizing , X ray causes double strand breaks
27
If damage is not repaired.....occurs Leading to...
Mutation Loss of control of proliferation and cancer
28
Main steps for repair
1.damage rec 2.removal of damage 3.replacement 4.gap filling 5.ligation
29
Abt.....purines are lost....per day
10000 Spontaneously
30
MMR proteins are ..
Mut
31
How mut proteins identify the wrong strand
What is the degree of methylation as methylation takes time and it is not done immediately after synthesis. So the nascent strand is assumed to be wrong and the parental is assumed to be correct. In eukaryotes by nicks unsealed
32
3'.....5' methylation on adenine seq by... Once per...
GATC DAM, DNA adenine methylase 1000 nucleotides
33
The repair
SLH mut S , recognises mismatch and recruits mut L Mut S and Mut L complex activates Mut H Mut H cleaves unmethylated daughter strand
34
Mut H acts by .....to cleave damage and....to remove damage and additional nucleotides at...
Endonuclease Exonuclease 5' end and 3' end
35
Gap filling at MMR Joining
DNA pol III Pol € 3' OH and 5' p of remaining stretch by ligase
36
Mutation in proteins involved in MMR are associated with.....known as....which has an increased rusk to develop But MMR mutations are not related to..
HNPCC hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer Lynch syndrome Colon cancer Colon cancer only 5%
37
Parental strand methylated and nascent not called...
Hemi methylated
38
Uv exposure causes.....preventing....removed by...
Pyrimidine dimers 2 adjacent bases covalently bond together DNA pol action UvrABC
39
Removal of dimers mainly thymine dimers is called
NER, nucleotide excision repair
40
Steps
1.Recognition by UvrABC excinuclease activity 2.bulky dimer cleaved from both ends with oligonucleotide containing it 3. Gap filled by Pol I and ligase
41
Defective NER causes
Xeroderma pigmentosa Autosomal recessive disease Defects in any gene that codes for XP proteins required for NER
42
In XP pyrimidine dimer form.....exposed to....cannot.....resulting in....
In skin cells UV Repair damage Extensive accumulation of mutations and cancer
43
Base excision repair BER Bases alteration reasons
Spontaneously like deamination Or deamination by deaminating compounds
44
Cytosine when deaminated Adenine Guanine 5 methyl cytosine
Uracil Hypoxanthine Xanthine Thymine
45
Deaminating compounds
Nitrous acid which forms precursors like nitrates
46
Steps of BER
1. Abnormal bases like uracil identified by DNA glycosylases 2. Hydrolytically cleaved from the sugar phosphate backbone 3. Leaving and apyrimidine or apurine site AP site 4.AP endonucleases recognize the AP site
47
After AP site recognition
1. Endonucleolytic cut at 5' end of AP site 2. Deoxy phosphate lyase removes the sugar phosphate residue 3.pol I and Pol B fill gaps 4. Ligase
48
The repairs enzymes
MMR> Mut , DAM, SLH Pol III, pol £ NER> UvrABC Pol I, pol b BER> DNA glycosylases , AP endonuclease, deoxyribose phosphate lyase Pol I, pol b
