DNA Single Strand Repair
3 Pathways for Excision of damaged or inappropriate bases
• Base Excision Repair
• Mismatch Repair
• Nucleotide Excision Repair
Base Excision Repair
1) U is 1st removed by a glycosylase/DNA lyase
2) AP endonuclease then removes the sugar residue
3) Replacement w/correct nucleotide via DNA polymerase f3,
4) DNA ligase III-XRCC1-mediates ligation.
* Most common types of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation are repaired through base excision repair.
U represents a putative single base mutation
Base Excision Repair
• If >1 nucleotide mutated
RFC/PCNA/DNA polymerase 8/ E synthesizes the damaged strand
FENI endonuclease removes the Overhanging flap
Ligase I DNA strands are sealed
Nucleotide Excision Repair
• Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes bulky adducts in the DNA, such as pyrimidine dimers
Nucleotide Excision Repair
–(1) Damage recognition (XPC/HHRAD23B (R23, XPA, RPA, TFIIH and XPG)
-(2) Unwind (TFII), DNA incisions (XPG, ERCC1–XPF)
around the lesion, usually 24 - 32 nucleotides in length
-(3) Removal of the adducts
-(4) Repair synthesis to fill in the gap (TFII (XPB, XPD)-(5) DNA ligation (DNA Ligase)

e.g. Pyrimidine Dimer
DNA Bubble
• A mutation in NER genes does NOT lead to ionizing radiation sensitivity. – Increases sensitivity to UV-induced DNA damage & alkylating agents
that induce adducts.
Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER)
•Germline mutations in NER
genes lead to human DNA repair deficiency disorders such as xeroderma pigmentosum, in which patients are hypersensitive to UV light.
Mismatch Repair
• The mismatch repair pathway removes base-base mismatches in homologous recombination intermediates. Mutations in mismatch (MSH, MLH, and PSM) repair genes lead to microsatellite instability
• Precise Mechanism unknown
• Microsatellite Instability (small base insertions or deletions) and cancer, especially hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).

DNA Double Strand Repair (including HRR and NHEJ)
NHEJ is primary means of repairing dsDNA breaks
Defects lead to: IR sensitivity, chromosome aberrations
DNA Double Strand RepairNon Homologous End- Joining
(NHEJ)
1) Initiation (End recognition): - Binding of the Ku heterodimer to a dsDNA end
2) End Processing - Recruitment of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic
subunit, DNAPKcs Artemis activation - Artemis: Endonuclease dependent cleavage of overhangs
3) Synthesis: DNA polymerase
4) Bridging/Joining: XRCC4/DNA ligase IV/XLF complex
DNAPK: functions as a regulatory component of NHEJ, potentially facilitating and regulating the processing of the DNA ends. Recruits complex of three proteins, XRCC4, DNA ligase IV and XLF, which carry out the final rejoining step.
*Primary means of dsDNA break repair*Error prone* 2/2 in G1 w/no sister chromatid*Important for Ab diversity VDJ recombination
DNA Double Strand RepairHomologous Recombination (HR)
1) ATM/ATR (damage sensor) PO4’s H2AX
2) H2AX Recruits RAD51
3) RAD51 Initiates strand resection/exchange (MREII) & loading of RAD51 onto ssDNA, a process assisted by the BRCA2 protein. RAD52/BLM protects against exonucleolytic degradation.
4) Strand invasion (RAD54) D-loop Holliday jxn
5) Strand extension by DNA synthesis using sister chromatid template
6) Termination of the Holliday junction

DNA RepairOther Processes
• Single-strand annealing (SSA) plays a transitional role between HRR and NHEJ, and results in loss of genetic information owing to the exonuclease degradation of the DNA ends.
• Cross-Link repair pathways used for DNA-DNA or DNA-protein cross-link repair are still under in vestigation.

AT
Cell-cycle checkpoints and cancer Michael B. Kastan and Jiri Bartek Nature 432, 316-323(18 November 2004) doi:10.1038/nature03097
ATR
SCIDSCID mice are immunodeficient due to defective DNA-PKcs Such cells are defective in nonhomologous recombination and are extremely radiosensitive. ·SCID humans are also immune deficient and radiosensitive owing to a mutation in Artemis. Cells defective in Artemis are defective in nonohomologous recombination and are radiosensitive.
SCID & NBS NBS (Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome) is a very rare disorder that results in increased cancer incidence. Cells defective in NBS lack an S phase checkpoint and are radiosensitive. ATLD (AT-Like Disorder) patients are clinically similar to AT patients except that their defect lies in the MRE7 7 gene. Cells from these patients are also sensitive to ionizing radiation.
Fanconi Anemia
FA (Fanconi Anemia) patients are characterized by their hypersensitivity to cross-linking agents. Although fibroblasts derived from these patients are not sensitive to ionizing radiation, tumors arising in these patients are hypersensitive. The reasons for this are currently unknown.
Operational Classifications of Radiation Damage
• Radiation damage to mammalian cells can be divided into…– Lethal damage – irreversible/irreparable and
leads irrevocable to cell death– Potentially lethal damage (PLD) – that which
can be modified by postirradiation conditions– Sublethal damage (SLD) – that which under
normal conditions can be repaired unless additional sublethal damage is added
Potentially Lethal Damage
The component of radiation damage that can be modified by manipulation of the postirradiation conditions is known as potentially lethal damage.
Potentially Lethal Damage
Potentially lethal damage repair can occur if cells are prevented from dividing for 6 hours or more after irradiation; this is manifest as an increase in survival. This repair can be demonstrated in vitro by keeping cells in saline or plateau phase for 6 hours after irradiation and in vivo by delayed removal and assay of animal tumors or cells of normal tissues.
Potentially Lethal Damage
Sublethal Damage• The repair of sublethal damage is simply the repair of
double-strand breaks. • If a dose is split by a time interval, some double strand
breaks produced by the first dose are repaired before the second dose.
• Recall that double strand “lethal” damage may be formed by (1) single-track or (2) multiple-track damage.
• The component of cell killing resulting from single-track damage is the same whether the dose is a single exposure or fractionated. The same is not true of multiple-track damage.
Sublethal Damage
• For x-rays, split fractionation separated by 1 to 4 hours, results in a marked increase in cell survival because of the prompt repair of sublethal damage (multi-track damage).
• For neutrons, split fractionation offers little repair of sublethal damage (single track damage).
Sublethal Damage
Dose Rate Effect
Inverse Dose Rate
Dose Rate Effect
There is a dose-rate effect, such that at very low dose rates (<0.01 G/min) there is minimal checkpoint activation, probably due to minimal ATM activation.
At ~1 Gy/hr, only Late G2 checkpoint is triggered, leading to reassortment of cells at the G2/M interface (and resulting in the inverse dose rate effect). At higher dose rates, cell cycle progression is inhibited at all checkpoints
EXAMPLE
Dose Rate EffectEXAMPLE
To better illustrate the concept of inverse dose rate consider that…
• At lower dose rates cells may continue to progress through the cell cycle until they are arrested in G2, the most radiosensitive phase of
the cycle leading to greater cell kill. • By contrast, at higher dose rates, cells may
become "frozen" in a more radioresistant phase of the cycle leading to less cell kill.

– A. Artemis – B. RAD51 – C. DNA-PKcs – D. CDK4 – E. BRCA1
Questions
• D CDK4 is a cyclin dependent kinase that plays an important role in the progression of cells through G1 and into S phase. Artemis and DNA-PKcs play important roles in non-homologous end-joining of DNA double strand breaks, whereas RAD51 and BRCA1 are involved in the repair of double strand breaks through homologous recombination.
Answer
G1/S Phase Checkpoint
• SCID mice are often used in radiobiology research because they:
– A. are radioresistant – B. exhibit high levels of non-homologous end
joining – C. have efficient immune systems – D. are better able to repair radiation damage – E. are useful hosts for growing human tumor
xenografts
Questions
• E SCID mice are immune deficient, making them good hosts for growing xenografts of human tumors. SCID mice are deficient in DNA-PK and are therefore radiosensitive. Cells from these mice have low levels of non-homologous end-joining.
Answer
• Cells derived from individuals diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum are deficient in:
– A. nucleotide excision repair – B. methyl-guanine transferase – C. mismatch repair – D. base excision repair
Questions

They are therefore extremely sensitive to UV irradiation because they are unable to repair the pyrimidine dimers produced in DNA, but they are not sensitive to ionizing radiation.
Answer
• A mutation in NER genes does NOT lead to ionizing radiation sensitivity. – Increases sensitivity to UV-induced DNA damage & alkylating agents
that induce adducts.
