DNA repair proteins - m echanism s and functions H ans E. Krokan, Institute of Cancer R esearch and M olecular M edicine, Norw egian U niversity of S cience and T echnology, T rondheim , Norw ay DNA w as assum ed to be inert and not subject to dam age and repair J . W atson and F. Crick (1953): “It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing w e have postulated im m ediately suggests a possible copying m echanism for the genetic m aterial.” F. Crick (1974): “W e totally m issed (in 1953) the possible role of enzym es in repair,… … … I later cam e to realize that D N A is so precious that probably m any distinct repair J . W atson F. Crick m echanism s w ould exist.” M utations are required for m alignant transform ation, w hich follow s tw o paths Gatekeeper pathway Caretaker pathway Mutation of a 2nd Mutation of a 2nd Mutation of a Mutation of a caretaker gene gatekeeper gene caretaker gene → gatekeeper gene allele leads to → → allele leads to allele allele genetic instability tumour initiation Caretaker genes: Genes required for DNA repair, DNA replication and detoxification of carcinogens Gatekeeper genes: Genes for protooncogenes and tumour suppressor genes *Adapted from Kinzler and Vogelstein, Nature 386:761-763 (1997) DNA R EPAIR G ENES AND CANCER Rare human cancer forms: Xeroderma pigmentosum - skin cancer; deficiency in one of at least seven different genes for nucleotide excision repair (NER) Fanconi’s anemia - leukemia and solid tumors; four complementation groups, chromosome breakage, genes not identified Ataxia teleangiectasia - mostly lymphomas. Very sensitive to ionising radiation. Mutation in ATM- gene. Function not clear Bloom’s syndrome -many cancer forms. Mutation in BLM-gene, a RecQ helicase-gene homologue More common human cancer forms: Early onset hereditary breast cancer -Mutation in BRCA2-gene, responsible for 50% of these cancers. Brca2 protein may be an essential cofactor for HsRad51, involved in repair of double strand DNA breaks Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) - 5% of all colorectal cancers. Deficient mismatch repair. Mutations in hMSH2 (45%) or hMLH1 (45%) most common Hereditary colon cancer with polyposis - hMYH-mutations (Y165G and G382D), (not frequent) Sporadic colorectal cancer – defective mismatch repair genes in 12-15% of all cases Sporadic lung cancer: - Low activity of DNA glycosylase hOGG1 and some SNPs enhance risk, Mutations in other BER enzymes genes enhance risk of lung cancer in smokers (APE1 and XRCC1) DNA Dam age and R epair - Overview From : H oeijm akers 2001, Nature 411:366-74.
