  1. MSH2(MutS homolog, hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer) By Katie Butler

  2. To determine function of MSH2 we study MutS in E. Coli • Why? • Pathway better understood • Pathway highly conserved in humans

  3. Role of MutS • Mismatch Repair Machinery

  4. DNA Damage • DNA damage occurs frequently in the cell • Different repair mechanisms http://www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/~jacksonlab/m7_spj_2006/lecture_1.pdf

  5. DNA Polymerase Slippage(Microsatellite Instability) www.stanford.edu

  6. Mismatch Repair in E. Coli(Initiation, Excision, Resynthesis) http://www.callutheran.edu/Academic_Programs/Departments/BioDev/omm/muth/molmast.htm

  7. How does this compare to Eukaryotes? • Highly conserved • More complex • Strand recognition

  8. MSH2 in Eukaryotes http://hmg.oxfordjournals.org/content/vol10/issue7/images/large/dde07501.jpeg

  9. What happens when MSH2 is mutated? What is the role of MSH2 in cancer? • We will begin by looking at the Mouse Model!

  10. MSH2 (-/-) Viable lymphoma cancers ~ 2 months Mutator phenotype Microsatellite instability MSH2 (+/-) lymphomas around ~ 8 months Knudson’s 2 hit theory Mouse Model

  11. What happens when MSH2 is mutated in humans? • Hereditary Non-polyposis Colon Cancer

  12. What is Hereditary non-polyposis Colin Cancer? • The name is deceiving • Most common form of hereditary colon cancer • Occurs when any of the genes involved in Mismatch Repair are mutated • MSH2 the focus for today

  13. HereditaryNon-Polyposis Colon Cancer • Autosomal Dominance Inheritance • Highly Penetrate 80% Example of Family effected by HNPCC
