Overview of DNA Repair

33.9K
In order to be passed through generations, genomic DNA must be undamaged and error-free. However, every day, DNA in a cell undergoes several thousand to a million damaging events by natural causes and external factors. Ionizing radiation such as UV rays, free radicals produced during cellular respiration, and hydrolytic damage from metabolic reactions can alter the structure of DNA. Damages caused include single-base alteration, base dimerization, chain breaks, and cross-linkage.

Base Excision Repair

26.4K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Laminins are the Adhesive Proteins of Basal Lamina

3.4K
Laminins are heterotrimeric proteins with high molecular mass found in the extracellular matrix. Each laminin molecule is composed of three chains, viz. alpha, beta, and gamma, coded by five, four, and three paralogous genes, respectively. Laminins are categories based on the compositions of the three chains.
In humans, the five forms of alpha chains are LAMA 1, LAMA 2, LAMA 3, LAMA 4, and LAMA 5. The four forms of beta chains are LAMB 1, LAMB 2, LAMB 3, and LAMB 4. The three forms of gamma...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary medicine
  • Developmental biology
  • Stem cell research

Background:

  • Basal cells represent a critical stem cell population within lung tissue.
  • Understanding their role is key to comprehending lung development and repair mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the emergence timing of basal cells during lung development.
  • To determine the contribution of basal cells to the lung's epithelial wound response following influenza injury.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized lineage tracing and genetic manipulation techniques in mouse models.
  • Analyzed lung tissue at various developmental stages and post-influenza injury.

Main Results:

  • Basal cells are identified very early in lung development.
