16
The Action Spectrum
17
Direct UVR-induced DNA Damage Base changes –Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers –6,4-Photoproducts Crosslinks (protein, DNA) Photosensitization (psoralen) Photolysis (BrdU)
19
Differential Susceptibility CPD TT > CT > TC > CC 68 : 13 : 16 : 3 6,4 PP TC/CC >> TT CT not susceptible C5 methylated cytosine not susceptible CPD induction several fold higher than 6,4 PP
20
Indirect DNA Damage: ROS Intracellular –Mitochondrial respiration –Peroxisome metabolism –Enzymatic synthesis of NO –Phagocytic leukocytes Extracellular –Radiolysis of water (ionizing radiation, near UV) –Heat –Drugs
21
Generated by –Absorption of energy –Monovalent reduction –Fenton reaction –Enzymatic activity Include –Radicals (unpaired electrons) –Molecules –Ions ROS Characteristics
22
Some Reactive Oxygen Species
23
Stable Free (di)radical Unpaired electrons with parallel spins Highly reactive Not a free radical Paired electrons with opposite spins Generation of Singlet Oxygen
24
ROS Can Be Generated by Reduction of Molecular Oxygen
25
Superoxide dismutase H 2 O 2 + triplet O 2 Fe Hydroxyl radical Hydroxyl radical Singlet O 2 + Hydroxide ion NO Peroxynitrate Monvalent reduction H2O2H2O2 Reactions of Superoxide Radical

The Fenton Reaction
27
ROS Detoxification Other antioxidants
28
Base damage –Thymine glycol –8-oxodG Damage to sugar–phosphate backbone –Fragmentation –Base loss –Strand break Imidazole ring opening ROS Damage to DNA
29
Blocks replication Causes mispairing ROS Base Damage
30
Part III DNA repair –Photoreactivation –Base excision repair (BER) –Nucleotide excision repair (NER) –Mismatch repair –Post-replication repair
31
Photoreactivation Found in many species up to and including marsupials Not demonstrated in placental mammals There are both CPD and 6,4 PP photolyases Can be used to study DNA damage dependence of UVR effects
32
Base Excision Repair Two forms: short patch and long patch Mostly for repair of non- bulky adducts DNA glycosylases that recognize CPDs and 6,4 PP not found in mammals Major pathway for repair of DNA adducts due to ROS
33
Human DNA Glycosylases Enzyme Size (amino acid residues) Gene location at chromosome Altered base removed from DNA UNG31312q23-q24U and 5-hydroxyuracil TDG41012q24.1U or T opposite G, ethenocytosine hSMUG 1 27012q13.1-q14U (preferentially from single-strand DNA) MBD45803q21U or T opposite G at CpG sequences hOGG13453p258-oxo G opposite C, formamidopyrimidine MYH5211p32.1-p34.3A opposite 8-oxo G hNTH131216p13.2-p13.3 Thymine glycol, cytosine glycol, dihydrouracil, formamidopyrimidine MPG29316p (near telomere)3-MeA, ethenoadenine, hypoxanthine
35
Nucleotide Excision Repair Major mammalian form of CPD and 6,4 PP repair in mammals Loss of function mutations can result in xeroderma pigmentosum
39
Mismatch Repair Substrates Base:base mismatch –Non-instructive DNA adduct –Nucleotide misincorporation Insertion/deletion loops –Slippage
40
MutSα: base-base and insertion-deletion mismatches MutSβ: insertion-deletion mismatches only
42
Post-replication Repair Lesion bypass (error prone) Homologous recombination (error free)
43
Post-replication Recombination Repair During replication, the replication machinery skips over the region with the dimer, leaving a gap; the complementary strand is replicated normally. The two newly synthesized strands are shown in red. Strand exchange between homologous strands occurs. Recombination is completed, filling in the gap opposite the pyrimidine dimer, but leaving a gap in the other daughter duplex. This last gap is easily filled, using the normal complementary strand a template.
44
Double-strand Break Repair Homologous recombination (error free) Non-homologous end-joining (error prone)
45
Double-strand Break Repair
46
Part IV DNA damage versus mutation Types of mutations UVR-induced mutations –Mutation fixation –Hallmark mutations –Others
47
DNA Damage
48
Lesion is induced Unrepaired/misrepaired lesion miscodes Mutation fixation occurs Mutation Fixation
49
Types of Mutation
50
Substitution Deletion Insertion Normal
51
Base Substitutions Transition Y ↔ Y, R ↔ R T ↔ C G ↔ A Transversion Y ↔ R T ↔ G C ↔ A
52
A GT C
53
UVR Signature Mutations Mutations –C to T transition –CC to TT tandem transition Location –Dipyrimidine sequences –Pyrimidine stretches
54
The A Rule Preferential incorporation of A opposite a non- instructive DNA lesion TT dimers thus encode AA sequence and no mutation arises Due to character of the DNA polymerase TT → AA ^
55
Mutations Due to ROS-induced DNA Damage G:C → T:A transversion
