These are enzymes that catalyze light-dependent repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). When the Shope fibroma virus S127L gene was expressed in an Escherichia coli strain lacking functional CPD repair pathways, the expressed gene protected the bacteria from 70–75% of the ultraviolet (UV) light-induced cytotoxic DNA damage. This proportion suggests that Leporipoxvirus photolyases can only repair CPDs, which typically comprise ϳ70% of the damage caused by short wavelength UV light. To test whether these enzymes can protect virus genomes from UV, we exposed virus suspensions to UV-C light followed by graded exposure to filtered visible light. Viruses encoding a deletion of the putative photolyase gene were unable to photoreactivate UV damage while this treatment again eliminated 70–90% of the lethal photoproducts in wild-type viruses. Western blotting detected photolyase protein in extracts prepared from purified virions and it can be deduced that the poxvirion interior must be fluid enough to permit diffusion of this ϳ50-kDa DNA-binding protein to the sites where it catalyzes photoreactivation.

  • Dna Repair Mechanisms
    DNA REPAIR MECHANISMS: A. P. NAGRALE DNA REPAIR •One of the main objectives of biological system is to maintain base sequences of DNA from one generation to the other. •DNA is relatively fragile, easily damaged molecule. •The DNA of a cell is subjected to damage from a variety of environmental factors like radiations (X-rays, UV-rays), chemicals mutagens, physical factors etc. •The survival of the cell depends on its ability to repair this damage. •DNA damage is of two types – Monoadduct and Diadduct. Monoadduct damage involves alterations in a single nitrogen base for example deamination reactions of chemical mutagen like HNO2. Diadduct damage are alterations involving more than one nitrogen base, for example Pyrimidine - Pyrimidine dimer produced by UV- radiations. •There are three principal types of repair mechanisms. •Light Repair (Enzymatic Photoreacivation) •Ultraviolet light causes the damage in DNA of bacteria and phages. UV-radiations (254 nm wavelength) cause the formation of covalent bond between adjacent pyrimidines to form dimer on the same strand of DNA (intrastrand bonding). •The UV- light forms abnormal structure Thymine dimmer (T=T) in DNA. As a result, DNA replication cannot proceed and gene expression is also prevented. •Damage to DNA caused by UV- light can be repaired after exposing the cells to visible light called photoreactivation or light repair. •This photoreactivation requires a specific enzyme that binds to the defective site on the DNA. •In this mechanism an enzyme DNA photolyase cleaves T=T dimmer and reverse to monomeric stage. •This enzyme is activated only when exposed to visible light. This enzyme absorbs the light energy, binds of cyclobutane ring to defective site of DNA and absorbed energy promotes the cleavage of covalent bond between two thymine molecules.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 In loving memory of my Papa ji. ABSTRACT In 1977 a novel, inducible and error free DNA repair system in Escherichia coli came to light. It protected E. coli against the mutagenic and cytotoxic effects of alkylating agents such as N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), and was termed the ‘adaptive response of E. coli to alkylation damage’. This response consists of four inducible genes; ada, aidB, alkA and alkB. The ada gene product encodes an 06-methylguanine- DNA methyltransferase, and is also the positive regulator of the response. The alkA gene product encodes a 3-methyladenine- DNA glycosylase, and aidB shows homology to several mammalian acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenases.

    Dynamics and mechanism of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer repair by DNA photolyase Zheyun Liua, Chuang Tana, Xunmin Guoa, Ya-Ting Kaoa, Jiang Lia, Lijuan Wanga, Aziz Sancarb,1, and Dongping Zhonga,1 aDepartments of Physics, Chemistry, and Biochemistry, Programs of Biophysics, Chemical Physics, and Biochemistry, Ohio State University, 191 West Woodruff Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210; and bDepartment of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 Contributed by Aziz Sancar, July 7, 2011 (sent for review June 28, 2011) Photolyase uses blue light to restore the major ultraviolet (UV)- induced DNA damage, the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD), to two normal bases by splitting the cyclobutane ring. Our earlier studies showed that the overall repair is completed in 700 ps through a cyclic electron-transfer radical mechanism. However, the two fundamental processes, electron-tunneling pathways and cyclobutane ring splitting, were not resolved. Here, we use ultra- fast UV absorption spectroscopy to show that the CPD splits in two sequential steps within 90 ps and the electron tunnels between the cofactor and substrate through a remarkable route with an intervening adenine. Site-directed mutagenesis reveals that the active-site residues are critical to achieving high repair efficiency, a unique electrostatic environment to optimize the redox poten- tials and local flexibility, and thus balance all catalytic reactions to maximize enzyme activity. These key findings reveal the com- plete spatio-temporal molecular picture of CPD repair by photo- lyase and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of the enzyme’s high repair efficiency.

These proteins display an economy of size, and yet recognize long DNA sequences (typically 20 to 30 base pairs). They exhibit a wide range of fidelity at individual nucleotide positions in a manner that is strongly influenced by host constraints on the coding sequence of the targeted gene. The activity of these proteins leads to site-specific recombination events that can result in the insertion, deletion, mutation, or correction of DNA sequences. Over the past fifteen years, the crystal structures of representatives from several homing endonuclease families have been solved, and methods have been described to create variants of these enzymes that cleave novel DNA targets. Engineered homing endonucleases proteins are now being used to generate targeted genomic modifications for a variety of biotech and medical applications.

DNA repair mechanisms protect bacterial DNA from damage induced by various stress factors. The current study is aimed at understanding the sequence and functional annotation of DNA repair genes in M. leprae. Methods: The genome of M. leprae was annotated using sequence alignment tools to identify DNA repair genes that have homologs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli. A set of 96 genes known to be involved in DNA repair mechanisms in E. coli and Mycobacteriaceae were chosen as a reference. Among these, 61 were identified in M. leprae based on sequence similarity and domain architecture. The 61 were classified into 36 characterized gene products (59%), 11 hypothetical proteins (18%), and 14 pseudogenes (23%). All these genes have homologs in M. tuberculosis and 49 (80.32%) in E. coli. A set of 12 genes which are absent in E. coli were present in M. leprae and in Mycobacteriaceae. These 61 genes were further investigated for their expression profiles in the whole transcriptome microarray data of M.

Here, we show that efficiency of elimination of the transforming activity for a plasmid-encoded ARG during the UV-based treatments depends on the rate of formation of cyclobutane-pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in the plasmid and the repair of such DNA damage during the transformation process in host cells. This work has important contributions to optimizing the monitoring and operation of UV-based water disinfection and oxidation processes for removing ARGs.

  • Mismatch Repair Protein Mutl Becomes Limiting During Stationary-Phase Mutation
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 26, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Mismatch repair protein MutL becomes limiting during stationary-phase mutation Reuben S. Harris,1 Gang Feng,2 Kimberly J. Ross,1 Roger Sidhu, Carl Thulin, Simonne Longerich, Susan K. Szigety, Malcolm E. Winkler,2 and Susan M. Rosenberg1,3 Department of Biochemistry, University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2H7 Canada; 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of Texas Houston Medical School, Houston, Texas 77030-1501 USA Postsynthesis mismatch repair is an important contributor to mutation avoidance and genomic stability in bacteria, yeast, and humans. Regulation of its activity would allow organisms to regulate their ability to evolve. That mismatch repair might be down-regulated in stationary-phase Escherichia coli was suggested by the sequence spectrum of some stationary-phase (‘‘adaptive’’) mutations and by the observations that MutS and MutH levels decline during stationary phase. We report that overproduction of MutL inhibits mutation in stationary phase but not during growth. MutS overproduction has no such effect, and MutL overproduction does not prevent stationary-phase decline of either MutS or MutH. These results imply that MutS and MutH decline to levels appropriate for the decreased DNA synthesis in stationary phase, whereas functional MutL is limiting for mismatch repair specifically during stationary phase. Modulation of mutation rate and genetic stability in response to environmental or developmental cues, such as stationary phase and stress, could be important in evolution, development, microbial pathogenicity, and the origins of cancer.
