Modeling Damage Complexity-Dependent Non-Homologous End-Joining Repair Pathway
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is the dominant DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathway and involves several repair proteins such as Ku, DNA-PKcs, and XRCC4. It has been experimentally shown that the choice of NHEJ proteins is determined by the complexity of DSB. In this paper, we built a mathematical model, based on published data, to study how NHEJ depends on the damage complexity. Und...
متن کاملModeling non-homologous end joining.
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is an important DNA repair pathway for DNA double-strand breaks. Several proteins, including Ku, DNA-PKcs, Artemis, XRCC4/Ligase IV and XLF, are involved in the NHEJ for the DNA damage detection, DNA free end processing and ligation. The classical model of NHEJ is a sequential model in which DNA-PKcs is first recruited by the Ku bound DNA prior to any other rep...
متن کاملKu-dependent non-homologous end-joining as the major pathway contributes to sublethal damage repair in mammalian cells.
PURPOSE Sublethal damage repair (SLDR) is a type of repair that occurs in split-dose irradiated cells, which was discovered more than 50 years ago. However, due to conflicting reported data, it remains unclear which DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway, non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair, homologous recombination repair (HRR) or both, contributes to SLDR, particularly in human cel...
متن کاملNon-homologous end joining as a mechanism of DNA repair
In spite of its essential role as the carrier of genetic information, DNA is not an inert structure. The genome is susceptible to potentially mutagenic threats of both endogenous and environmental origin. A dramatic threat to the covalent structure of DNA is posed by breaks in the phosphate backbone affecting one or both strands of the Watson–Crick double helix. Ionizing radiation and certain c...
متن کاملNon-homologous end joining repair in Xenopus egg extract
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a major DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair mechanism. We characterized here a series of plasmid-based DSB templates that were repaired in Xenopus egg extracts via the canonical, Ku-dependent NHEJ pathway. We showed that the template with compatible ends was efficiently repaired without end processing, in a manner that required the kinase activity of DNA-PK...
