Mismatch Repair

Nach Korrekturlesefehlern bei der DNA-Replikation, wie z.
 B.
 der Paarung von Adenin mit Cytosin, kann bestehen bleiben und kann durch einen Mechanismus namens Mismatch-Reparatur behoben werden.
 In diesem Prozess werden fehlerhafte Basen aufgrund ihrer abnormalen Struktur durch ein Mismatch- Reparaturprotein, wie z.
 B.
 MutS, identifiziert, andere Mismatch-Reparaturproteine, wie z.
 B.
 MutL, identifizieren dann den neuen Strang, so dass der Strang mit dem Fehler repariert wird, w&#xE4;hrend der Template-Strang unver&#xE4;ndert bleibt.
 Wie der neue Strang identifiziert wird, h&#xE4;ngt vom Organismus ab, in E.
 coli werden spezifische DNA- Sequenzen methyliert, nach der DNA-Synthese wird eine Methylgruppe hinzugef&#xFC;gt und der neue Strang identifiziert.
 Bei Eukaryoten ist es wahrscheinlicher, dass der neue Strang Kerben hat, kleinere Br&#xFC;che als die Vorlagen.
 Eukaryotische Mismatch-Reparaturproteine identifizieren den eingekerbten Strang und zielen auf ihn zur Reparatur.
 Sobald der neue Strang identifiziert ist, wird die fehlerhafte Region durch Exonukleaseenzyme, die Nukleotide entfernen, ausgeschnitten.
 Schlie&#xDF;lich f&#xFC;gt die DNA-Polymerase die richtigen Nukleotide hinzu und die DNA-Ligase verschlie&#xDF;t die L&#xFC;cken an den Kanten und repariert den Fehler.

reparatur von fehlpaarungen

<h4>&#xDC;berblick</h4>
 
 Organismen sind in der Lage, Nukleotid-Fehlpaarungen, die w&#xE4;hrend der DNA-Replikation auftreten, zu erkennen und zu reparieren. Dieser anspruchsvolle Prozess erfordert die Identifizierung des neuen Stranges und den Austausch der fehlerhaften Basen mit korrekten Nukleotide. Die Korrektur der Fehlpaarungen wird von mehreren Proteinen sowohl in Prokaryoten als auch in Eukaryoten koordiniert.
 
 <h4>Die MMR-Proteinfamilie spielt eine Schl&#xFC;sselrolle in der DNA-Mismatch-Reparatur</h4>
 
 Das menschliche Genom hat mehr als 3 Milliarden Basenpaare DNA pro Zelle. Vor der Zellteilung muss diese riesige Menge an genetischer Information vervielf&#xE4;ltigt werden. Trotz der Korrekturf&#xE4;higkeit der DNA-Polymerase tritt etwa alle 1 Million Basenpaare ein Kopierfehler auf. Eine Art von Fehler ist die Fehlpaarung der Nukleotiden, zum Beispiel die Paarung von A mit G oder T mit C. Solche Fehlpaarungen werden von der MMR-Proteinfamilie erkannt und repariert. Diese Proteine wurden zuerst in den Bakterien Escherichia coli (E. coli) genauer beschrieben. &#xC4;hnliche Arten kommen aber in allen Prokaryoten und Eukaryoten vor.
 
 Der Mutator S (MutS) leitet die Mismatch-Reparatur (MMR) ein, indem er die Fehlpaarung identifiziert und an sie bindet. Anschlie&#xDF;end identifiziert MutL, welcher Strang die neue Kopie ist. Nur der neue Strang muss repariert werden, w&#xE4;hrend der Matrizenstrang intakt bleiben muss. Wie kann die molekulare Maschinerie den neu synthetisierten DNA-Strang identifizieren?
 
 <h4>Neu synthetisierte DNA-Str&#xE4;nge unterscheiden sich von ihrem Matrizenstrang</h4>
 
 In vielen Organismen erhalten Cytosin-und Adeninbasen des neuen Stranges einige Zeit nach der Replikation eine Methylgruppe. Deshalb identifizieren sogenannte Mut-Proteine neue Str&#xE4;nge. Sie erkennen Sequenzen, die noch nicht methyliert sind. Au&#xDF;erdem ist es wahrscheinlicher, dass der neu synthetisierte Strang in Eukaryoten kleine Br&#xFC;che, auch Strangbr&#xFC;che genannt, aufweist. Die MMR-Proteine k&#xF6;nnen so den fehlerhaften Strang identifizieren und ihn gezielt reparieren.
 
 Nach der Identifizierung des neuen Stranges schneiden die Nukleaseenzyme die betroffene Region und schneiden die falschen Nukleotide aus. Als n&#xE4;chstes f&#xFC;gt die DNA-Polymerase die richtigen Nukleotide ein. Die DNA-Ligase verkn&#xFC;pft das Zucker-Phosphat-R&#xFC;ckgrat der DNA, wodurch der Mismatch-Reparaturprozess abgeschlossen wird.
 
 <h4>Defekte im Mismatch-Reparaturmechanismus k&#xF6;nnen Krebs ausl&#xF6;sen</h4>
 
 Das menschliche Homolog von MutS wird als Mutator S-Homolog 2 (MSH2) bezeichnet. Wenn die Funktion von MSH2 beeintr&#xE4;chtigt wird, werden Punktmutationen und Frameshift-Mutationen im gesamten Genom nicht mehr richtig repariert. Folglich haben Menschen, die eine einzige Kopie eines solchen beeintr&#xE4;chtigten MSH2 tragen, eine h&#xF6;here Wahrscheinlichkeit, an Krebs zu erkranken.
 
 <h4>Mutationen, die nicht repariert werden, treiben Adaption an</h4>
 
 W&#xFC;rde es nicht besser sein, wenn die MMR nie eine Fehlpaarung &#xFC;bersehen w&#xFC;rde? Auch niedrige Mutationsraten k&#xF6;nnen ein Problem f&#xFC;r einen Organismus darstellen. Mutationen tragen n&#xE4;mlich auch zur genetischen Variation in einer Population bei. Zum Beispiel kann ein freiz&#xFC;giges Mismatch-Reparatursystem in einem Bakterium zuf&#xE4;llig zur Mutation eines Gens f&#xFC;hren, das eine Antibiotikaresistenz verleiht, wodurch die &#xDC;berlebens -und Reproduktionschancen der Bakterien in der Gegenwart von Antibiotika erh&#xF6;ht werden. Dies ist eine gute Nachricht f&#xFC;r die Bakterienpopulation, aber eine schlechte Nachricht f&#xFC;r Menschen, die zur Bek&#xE4;mpfung von Infektionskrankheiten auf Antibiotika angewiesen sind.
 
 Tats&#xE4;chlich erlangen Staphylococcus aureus Arten zunehmend eine Multidrug-Resistenz, was bedeutet, dass wenige oder keine Antibiotika die Ausbreitung dieses Bakteriums in einem Patienten verhindern k&#xF6;nnen. Infektionen mit multiresistenten Bakterien sind beim Menschen mit einer hohen Sterblichkeitsrate verbunden. Der weit verbreitete Einsatz von Antibiotika in der Tierproduktion und eine unangemessen verk&#xFC;rzte Verabreichung von Antibiotika tragen zur Entstehung multiresistenter Bakterien bei.

dna mismatch repair in replication

DNA mismatch repair fixes copying errors that happen during DNA replication. When DNA polymerase makes a mistake, the cell can detect a wrong base pair, such as A with G or T with C, and replace it with the correct nucleotide. This repair system works in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and depends on several proteins.

The Mutator protein family plays a central role in this process. In bacteria such as Escherichia coli, MutS first binds the mismatch. MutL then helps identify which strand is the new copy. Only the newly made strand is repaired, while the original template strand stays unchanged.

Cells must also tell the new strand from the old one. In many organisms, cytosine and adenine on the new strand gain a methyl group after replication, so the mismatch repair proteins can recognize DNA that has not yet been methylated. In eukaryotes, the new strand often contains small breaks called DNA nicks, and these nicks also help mark the strand that needs repair.

After the new strand is identified, nuclease enzymes cut out the damaged region. DNA polymerase then fills in the correct nucleotides. DNA ligase seals the sugar-phosphate backbone and completes the repair.

Problems in mismatch repair can lead to disease. The human version of MutS is called MSH2. If MSH2 does not work properly, point mutations and frameshift mutations are not repaired well, and people with one copy of a damaged MSH2 gene have a higher risk of cancer.

Mismatch repair can also affect evolution and antibiotic resistance. If the system is more permissive, a bacterium may gain a mutation that helps it survive antibiotics. This can improve bacterial survival and reproduction, but it is dangerous for people who depend on antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus is one example, because some strains are becoming multidrug-resistant. These infections are linked to high death rates in humans, and the spread of resistance is worsened by heavy antibiotic use in livestock and by treatment courses that are stopped too early.

the dna helix

How DNA Stores Genetic Information

DNA stores genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next in organisms and most viruses. It is built from two strands of nucleotides that twist together into a double helix. The story of how scientists uncovered this structure developed step by step over nearly a century. Each DNA strand is made of nucleotides. A nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or thymine (T). Adenine and...

dna packaging

Chromatin and Histones in DNA Packing

Eukaryotic cells must pack long DNA molecules into the nucleus, and chromatin makes that possible. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which are the main unit of DNA packaging. Nucleosomes then coil into compact chromatin fibers. The amount of DNA in a cell is much larger than it first seems. A single human skin cell has about 3 billion base pairs of DNA, and if that DNA were stretched out in a line, it would be about 2 meters long. With about 50 trillion cells in...

organization of genes

Genes, Introns, and Regulatory DNA

Eukaryotic genes are arranged within DNA along with non-coding regions that help control gene activity. A DNA strand includes genes and intergenic regions, which are the stretches between genes. These regions do not code for proteins, but they can contain important regulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers, and silencers. A gene itself is not a single continuous coding block. It usually contains protein-coding exons and non-coding introns. After DNA is transcribed into pre-mRNA in the...

karyotyping

Chromosome Stains for Detecting Disorders

Chromosome staining helps scientists find genetic disorders by showing the number and physical features of chromosomes. These features appear after DNA condenses into chromosomes during mitosis. Cytogeneticists then stop mitosis and stain the chromosomes to study their banding pattern. The pattern reveals details such as chromosome number, shape, and type. A chromosome description like this is called a karyotype. To create one, scientists take an image of the stained chromosomes and identify...

replication in prokaryotes

How Prokaryotic DNA Is Copied

Prokaryotic DNA is copied through a coordinated process with three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. It begins when initiator proteins bind to the single origin of replication, or ori, on the cell’s circular chromosome. The DNA then copies around the circle in both directions, starting from two replication forks, and this produces two DNA molecules. Several proteins work together to open and protect the DNA during replication. Topoisomerase cuts one side of the...

replication in eukaryotes

Eukaryotic DNA Copying and Telomeres

Eukaryotic DNA copying is tightly regulated and must duplicate many linear chromosomes before cell division. The process is highly conserved and uses many proteins with specialized roles. It moves through initiation, elongation, and termination, and it ends with two complete sets of chromosomes in the nucleus. Eukaryotic replication shares basic steps with prokaryotic DNA replication, but the larger genome and linear chromosomes require more proteins. Replication begins at multiple origins of...

proofreading

DNA Polymerase Fixes Replication Errors

DNA polymerase helps copy DNA and fix mistakes during replication. It adds nucleotides in a sequence that matches the template DNA strand. The enzyme also has a higher affinity for the correct base, which helps keep DNA replication accurate. As new genomic DNA is made, it is synthesized in the 5’ to 3’ direction. In many cells, DNA polymerases have different jobs in this process. DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase epsilon can proofread when nuclear DNA is being copied. These polymerases...

nucleotide excision repair

DNA Damage Repair by Excision

DNA damage repair by excision protects cells from mutagens that can change DNA. Exposure to environmental mutagens can create bulky lesions that bend the double helix or block transcription. If these changes are not repaired, they can lead to mutations and may contribute to cancer or disease, depending on which DNA sequences are affected. Nucleotide excision repair, or NER, is the process that detects and removes this kind of damage. Specialized proteins scan the DNA for a damaged region, then...

mutations

DNA Changes From Point Mutations to UV Damage

Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence. They can happen by chance during DNA copying, or they can be caused by environmental factors such as radiation and chemicals. Scientists also describe mutations by how much DNA they affect, how they change a protein, and whether they happen in body cells or germline cells. Some mutations affect only one nucleotide, which is a point mutation. When a point mutation falls inside a gene, the outcome depends on how the amino acid sequence changes. A silent...

transcription

Transcription and Gene Control

Transcription and gene control explain how cells make RNA from DNA and decide which genes are active. RNA polymerase copies a DNA sequence into RNA, and this is the first step in making a protein from a gene. Many other proteins and control sequences help make messenger RNA, or mRNA, correctly. In eukaryotes, the DNA is first copied into a primary RNA, also called pre-mRNA. This RNA can then be processed into mature mRNA, which serves as the template for protein synthesis. In prokaryotes such...

translation

Protein Synthesis and mRNA Decoding

Protein synthesis begins when ribosomes decode messenger RNA (mRNA) and build a chain of amino acids. This final step of gene expression is called translation. The finished chain is a polypeptide, which can later become a functional protein. Proteins are often called the building blocks of life because they make up much of the body, from muscle fibers to hairs and immune system parts. The instructions for each protein are encoded in genes found in the DNA of every cell. In biology, the central...

bacterial transformation

Griffith’s Mouse Experiment and DNA

Bacterial transformation explains how DNA can move into bacteria and change their traits. Frederick Griffith first noticed this in 1928 while studying pneumonia-causing Streptococcus pneumoniae in mice. He compared one pathogenic strain with one non-pathogenic strain and found that only the pathogenic strain killed the host mice. Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic bacteria and mixed their remains with live, non-pathogenic bacteria. The mixture killed the mice,...
