Chapter 23, Problem 2P
For each DNA repair process in column I, list all characteristics from column Il that correctly describe that process.
I
Nucleotide excision repair- Photoreactivation
- Base excision repair
- Recombinational repair
- SOS-driven error-prone repair
- Alkyltransferase repair
- Mismatch repair
- Double-strand break repair
II
- RecA protein participates.
- Damaged nucleotides are removed by nick translation.
- A free radical mechanism is involved.
- The repair enzyme functions only once.
- The key enzyme contains a bound folate cofactor.
- No bases or nucleotides are removed from the DNA.
- Deficiency of this enzyme in humans greatly increases the risk of skin cancer.
- This system is chiefly responsible for the mutagenic effect of ultraviolet light.
- This process begins with cleavage of two phosphodiester bonds.
- This process begins up to 1 kbp away from the site to be repaired.
- DNA ligase catalyzes the final reaction.
- This process also occurs in meiotic recombination.
- Replication fork regression might occur during this process.

- What is/are the attributes that make nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER) similar and/or different from each other? Select the correct response: The NER pathway is the only one that can remove DNA lesions in the strand regardless of their size which is followed by attaching the correct strand, then sealed by a DNA ligase. They both use the enzyme DNA glycosylases that recognizes the damaged DNA segments and proceed with repairing the faulty base in the strand. They differ NER only repairs purine bases while BER repairs pyrimidine bases. They both remove the damaged parts of the DNA where the BER pathway corrects only the identified damaged bases which are usually non-bulky lesions. The NER pathway, on the other hand, repairs the damage by removal of bulky DNA adducts which is a short-single stranded DNA segment. They both utilize the enzyme photolyase to reverse the damages created by the faulty section of the DNA. They both remove the damaged parts of the…arrow_forwardWhich of the following DNA repair pathways repair DNA double strand breakage that only occur in dividing cells?
