DNA Repair and Genomic Instability Jaký mechanismus se podílí na opravě dvouřetězcových zlomů? Why do we study this? DNA damage in human cell per day: DNA Repair Pathways Repair by Direct reversal: photoreactivation Excision Repair Pathways E. coli Base Excision Repair (BER) Nucleotide Excision Repair Genetics of NER in Humans Xeroderma Pigmentosum Genetics of NER in Humans DNA Mismatch Repair Recombinational DNA Repair Mechanisms Cross-link repair Model for the mechanism of DNA ICL repair in mammalian cells. Cross-link repair What do we study? DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) Failure to properly process DSBs End processing Homology search DNA repair synthesis Resolution Ligation How do we study this? Examples - Regulation of recombination? Presynaptic Rad51 filament Positive regulation - Mediator proteins DNA binding Function of Rad52 protein EM of Rad51 filaments
