Homologous Recombination

50.2K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

Overview of DNA Repair

30.6K
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.

Nucleosome Remodeling02:54

Nucleosome Remodeling

9.0K
Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

5.8K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

22.1K
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.
The first step of...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are DNA-based structures released by neutrophils during NETosis, a regulated cell death process.
  • NETs are vital for antimicrobial defense but also contribute to autoimmune diseases and tissue injury.
  • NETosis is critically dependent on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, originating from either NADPH oxidase (NOX) or mitochondrial pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the intricate interplay between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, DNA repair mechanisms, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation.
  • To investigate how different stimuli and conditions modulate the balance between ROS generation and DNA repair in NETosis.
  • To identify potential therapeutic targets by understanding the regulatory mechanisms of NET formation in various pathological contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated ROS production pathways (NOX-dependent and NOX-independent) in NETosis.
  • Examined the role of DNA repair processes in different NETosis models, including UV-induced apoNETosis, calcium ionophore stimulation, bacterial infections, and spontaneous NETosis.
  • Utilized DNA repair inhibitors at different stages to assess their impact on NET formation.

Main Results:

  • UV radiation triggers apoNETosis via mitochondrial ROS and DNA repair.
  • Both ROS and DNA repair are key in calcium ionophore-induced NETosis, though their roles are partial.
  • Early DNA repair is crucial for bacterial infection-induced NETosis, while spontaneous NETosis in serum-free conditions is halted by early DNA repair inhibition but enhanced by late-stage inhibition.
  • A delicate balance between DNA repair and ROS production regulates NET formation, with stimulus-dependent pathway activation.

Conclusions:

  • The formation of NETs is intricately regulated by the interplay between ROS production and DNA repair pathways.
  • Different stimuli activate distinct combinations of ROS sources and DNA repair processes to control NETosis.
  • Understanding these regulatory mechanisms offers potential therapeutic strategies for diseases involving NETs.
