DNA Mutations and Repair Chapter 17
2
Mutation: is defined as an inherited change in genetic information by cell division or individual organisms. Chernobyl, April 26th, 1986
3
Mutations can be classified into categories. Categories of mutations
4
Somatic and germ line
5
Achondroplasia Autosomal Dominant
6
Gene Mutations can also be classified by type of mutation 1. Base Substitutions □ 2. Insertions and deletions 3. Frameshift mutations 4. Expanding trinuleotide repeats Lead to
7
Gene Mutations can also be classified by type of mutation Base Substitutions Transitions and Transversions can be
8
PURINE TO PURINE PURINE TO PYRIMIDINE PYRIMIDINE TO PURINE
9
Expanding trinucleotide repeats
10
Fragile X Syndrome Pre-mutation
11
Fragile X syndrome:FMR-1 gene
13
Strand slippage may cause repeats
14
Phenotypic changes and mutations
15
Reverse mutation Forward mutation
16
Forward versus Reverse Mutations
17
Terms associated with PHENOTYPIC effects of mutations on protein structure
18
Phenotypic effects can also change function 1 Sullivan, J.P. et al., Department of Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, 1998 The University of Georgia, Athens, GA Gain of Gene Function 1 Loss of Gene Function 2 Qualtek Molecularlabs Web Site or
19
Loss of Function can also occur! Typically recessive mutations!
20
Suppressor Mutations is a genetic change that hides the effect of another mutation
21
Intragenic Suppressor Mutations
22
Intergenic Mutation
23
Lethal Mutations
24
Do you remember something about each type of mutation?
25
This is easy!
26
Mutation Rates and Frequency 1 to 10 mutations per million gametesIncidence within a group
27
Causes of Mutations Spontaneous Induced
28
Environmentally Induced DNA changes
29
Intercalating agents Insert and distort DNA
30
Radiation Hiroshima (Aug. 6 th, 1945) (Techa River)
32
Thymine Dimers SOS
33
Chemicals and Reactions Leading to Mutations
34
alklyating Deamination Adds OH
35
Oxidative radicals Reactive forms of oxygen can lead to these radicals
36
Detecting mutations with the AMES test
38
THE AMES TEST Salmonella typimurium
39
AMES TEST Saccharin Aflatoxin 2-aminofluorene
40
Aflatoxin B1
41
DNA Repair: general characteristics Double stranded DNA Redundancy of pathways
42
Types of DNA repair Mismatch repair Direct Repair Base-Excision Repair Nucleotide Excision Repair
43
Mismatch repair Mut H Recognize GATC hemi-methylation Mut S Mut L
44
A closer look at mismatch repair
45
Direct Repair DIRECT REVERSAL REPAIR
46
BASE EXCISION REPAIR
48
Nucleotide Excision Repair
49
Diseases of DNA repair!
50
Xeroderma pigmentosum Autosomal recessive
51
Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer HNPCC 15% of all colon cancers
52
Li-Fraumeni P-53 mutation
