Repair by cutting the rules


BER scheme. The exact description in the text

Base excision repair (BER) - a DNA repair mechanism in cells designed to remove damage to individual DNA bases during DNA replication. Bug fixes are necessary to avoid introducing mutations during replication.

Single bases in DNA can be chemically modified, eg by deamination or alkylation, resulting in improper evaporation of the bases and consequently introduction of mutations in the DNA. Repair by cutting the rule involves cutting the mutated DNA helix principle and repairing it. Two types of enzymes, DNA glycosylase and AP endonuclease are involved in the process. DNA glycosylase crosses the β-N glycosidic bond between the damaged base and the deoxyribose molecule to form the apurinidic / apirimidine site. Endonuclease AP recognizes this site and cuts DNA 5 'from AP to form 3'-OH free end. The DNA polymerase, Pol I, extends the DNA strand from the 3'-OH free end using exonuclease activity to replace the damaged nucleotide and the next few. Then the new thread is linked to the old one by DNA ligation. There are monofunctional glycosylases, and bifunctional glycosylases - apart from cutting N-glycosidic bonds, they also have bile properties and remove APs by β-elimination, leaving a single nucleotide gap in DNA.
