DNA Mutations and Repairpart 2 and 3 Chapter 18
Mutation Rates and Frequency 1 to 10 mutations per million gametes Incidence within a group
Causes of Mutations Spontaneous Induced
Spontaneous • Mispairing of bases • Changes in chemical structure of DNA
But this is probably a much more common occurrence. A spontaneous error
Spontaneous Incorporated Error (perhaps due to wobble) To Replicated Errors A replicated Error
Chemical changes to the DNA • Depurination • Deamination
Depurination Chemical change in the DNA
NH2 is gone DNA Repair
Naturally Occurring NO REPAIR!
Chemicals and Reactions Leading to Mutations • Base analogs • Alklating agents • Deaminations • Hydroxylamine • Oxidative reactions • Intercalating agents
alklyating Deamination Adds OH
Oxidative radicals • Reactive forms of oxygen can lead to these radicals
Intercalating agents • Insert and distort DNA
Radiation (Techa River) Hiroshima (Aug. 6th, 1945)
Thymine Dimers SOS
AMES TEST • Saccharin • Aflatoxin 2-aminofluorene
DNA Repair: general characteristics • Double stranded DNA • Redundancy of pathways
Types of DNA repair • Mismatch repair • Direct Repair • Base-Excision Repair • Nucleotide Excision Repair
Mismatch repair • Mut H • Recognize GATC hemi-methylation • Mut S • Mut L
DIRECT REVERSAL REPAIR Direct Repair
Xeroderma pigmentosum Autosomal recessive
Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer • HNPCC • 15% of all colon cancers
Li-Fraumeni • P-53 mutation
