Compare and contrast the processes of base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and methyl-directed mismatch repair in prokaryotes. In your answer discuss:

a) In which circumstances each of these mechanisms is used in a cell

b) One enzyme specific for each mechanism, and its role

c) One enzyme that is common to all three mechanisms. What is that role?

Please explain, in your own words

Understand the mechanisms that enable organisms to minimizemutations in stem cells. Understand why this is important!

Know the mechanisms that can introduce mistakes into DNA, therepair pathways that deal with the damage, and the consequences ifthey are not repaired:

  • DNA polymerase errors
  • depurination
  • deamination
  • oxidation
  • X-ray radiation
  • UV radiation
  • Alkylation
  • Adduct formation

Understand the DNA damageresponse, and the types of repair, such as

  • Chemical reversal
  • Nucleotide excision repair
  • Base excision repair
  • Mismatch repair
  • Double strand break repair

Understand the G2 checkpoint: what mechanisms establish thecheckpoint, and how do cells get past it?

Know what BRCA-1 protein does, and why its loss contributes tocancer. Understand the impact of Myriad Genetics

In genetics lab this semester we characterized Lac-mutants. These mutants were created via exposure to UV light orEthyl methanesulfonate (EMS).

Compare and contrast these two mutation methods. What types ofmutations do they cause?

What are the types of repair mechanism that are in place to dealwith these types of mutations? How does the repair mechanism(s)work?

If you wanted to induce more deleterious mutations, what mutagenwould you use? Defend your answer including the mechanism of actionfor this mutagen. (Be sure to cite your references for thisquestion.)
