Assembling a Car An analogy
Q: Most devastating effect? • Mistake in the Blueprint! • Toyota (Jan. 2010) • Massive recall foot pedal • Mistake in blueprint-level • DNA Damage • Has devastating effects • DNA is the starting point of protein production, thus cell function
DNA Damage Example • Tumor suppressor genes • Gene that encodes protein: p53 • Recognizes damaged DNA • And prevents mutant cell from replicating • If p53 is damaged • Mutated cells grow uncontrollably • And become tumorous!
Another Example • RNA polymerase genes • Copy machine • DNA to RNA step is JAMMED! • Cell cannot function • EX) Cockayne’s Syndrome, will be discussed in the flash video. JAMMED!
DNA is Fragile • Ionizing radiation often breaks DNA strands • Reactive chemicals, many of which are from the cell itself, cause structural alteration • UV radiation causes chemical alterations • Even thermal energy from the cell can cause spontaneous alterations, or lesions
DNA Repair to the Rescue! • The cell has a remarkable ability to repair DNA • These DNA repair mechanisms are responsible for repairing thousands of DNA alterations per day!
Repair Mechanisms • Base Excision Repair • Multi-step process that corrects non-bulky damage • Mismatch Repair • Corrects DNA replication errors • Double stranded breakage repair • Repairs complete cuts in the DNA strand • Nucleotide excision repair (NER) • Removes bulky lesions in the cell
Nucleotide Excision Repair • NER is perhaps the most flexible of the DNA repair pathways considering the diversity of DNA lesions it acts upon. • Pyrimidine dimers • Nucleotides with altered chemistry • Thymine dimers

Is NER really important? • If we want to see whether car tires are important, • Let someone ride a car without it.
Is NER really important? • If we want to see whether NER is important, • Let see what goes wrong in a cell and the organism when NER is dysfunctional! • Two diseases • XerodermaPigmentosum [XP] • Cockayne’s Syndrome [CS] (Remember the copy machine?)
What goes wrong in XP? • Patients with XerodermaPigmentosum have mutated XP genes and cannot make proper XP enzymes. • NER doesn’t function at normal levels, DNA damage is not repaired well, many genes cannot be used. XPC XPF XPD ERCC1 XPB XPG
Symptoms of XP • Skin- sunburns and freckles • Cancer/Carcinoma- damaged tumor suppressor genes (1000 fold risk) • Eye abnormalities • Neurological Disorders in severe cases
Treatments? • Avoid sunlight and wear protective coverings • Dimericine® -T4N5 Liposome Lotion (FDA Fast Track Designation) • Gene therapy using recombinant retroviruses – still under development Proper XP genes T4N5 VIRUS XP affected Cell NER restored!
What goes wrong in CS? • Cockayne’s Syndrome is caused by mutation CSA and CSB genes • Only the transcription coupled pathway is impaired – so active genes cannot be transcribed. • Global pathway is unchanged – normalrisks of cancer
Symptoms of CS • Mutated CSA and CSB likely hinder transcription mechanisms affecting damaged and undamaged DNA alike • Dwarfism, photosensitivity disorders, premature aging, and hearing loss • No cure, treatment focuses on relief
Key points to take away • DNA is under constant threat of damage • Cells repair DNA as its used (transcribed) • Cells repair DNA in the inactive state • Malfunction in repair mechanisms lead to life-threatening diseases
