Objectives of DNA recombination

• The different processes of DNA recombination: homologous recombination, site-specific recombination, transposition, illegitimate recombination, etc.

• What are the differences between these process: (i) the DNA substrates, (ii) the enzymes used, and (iii) the recombinant products produced.

• General mechanism of recombination: (I) presynapsis (initiation), (ii) synapsis (the formation of joint molecules), and (iii) postsynapsis (resolution).

• In addition to provide genetic diversity, DNA recombination plays an important role in repair of DNA double-strand breaks and DSG (to be discussed in the section of DNA repair).

Page 2: Objectives of DNA recombination

Homologous recombination• Refer to recombination between homologous DN

A sequence in the same or different DNA molecules.

• The enzymes involved in this process can catalyze recombination between any pair of homologous sequences, as long as the size of homologous sequence is longer than 45 nt or longer. No particular sequence is required.

• Models of homologous recombination.• Homologous recombination of E. coli.• Meiotic recombination.

Homologous recombination of E. coli

• Identification of genes involved in recombination: (i) isolation of mutants affecting recombination in wild-type cells (eg., recA, recB, recC etc.), (ii) the recombinational deficiency in recBC cells may be suppressed by sbcA or sbcB mutations. The sbcB gene encodes for a 3’ to 5’ ss-DNA exonuclease, while the sbcA mutation activate the expression of recE which encodes for 5’ to 3’ exonuclease. (iii) isolation of mutants affecting recombination in recB recC sbcB or recB recC sbcA cells (eg., recF, recO, recR, recQ, recJ etc.)

• The biochemical functions of rec genes.

Page 7: Objectives of DNA recombination

Homologous recombination is catalyzed by enzymes

• The most well characterized recombination enzymes are derived from studies with E. coli cells.

• Presynapsis: helicase and/or nuclease to generate single-strand DNA with 3’-OH end (RecBCD) which may be coated by RecA and Ssb.

• Synapsis: joint molecule formation to generate Holliday juncture (RecA).

• Postsynapsis: branch migration and resolution of Holliday juncture (RuvABC).

Page 8: Objectives of DNA recombination

RecBCD

• A multifunctional protein that consists of three polypeptides RecB (133 kDa), RecC (129 kDa) and RecD (67 kDa).

• Contain nuclease (exonuclease and Chi-specific endonuclease) and helicase activity.

Page 17: Objectives of DNA recombination

RuvABC

• RuvA (22 kDa) binds a Holliday junction with high affinity, and together with RuvB (37 kDa) promotes ATP-dependent branch migration of the junctions leading to the formation of heteroduplex DNA.

• RuvC (19 kDa) resolves Holliday juncture into recombinant products.

Transposition• Transposition is mediated by transposable elements, or

transposons.• Transposons of bacteria: IS (insertion sequences) cont

ains only sequences required for transposition and proteins (transposases) that promote the process. Complex transposons contain genes in addition to those needed for transposition.

• Transposition is characterized by duplication of direct repeats (5-9 bps in most cases) at target site.

• Transposition, in some instances, may be mediated through a RNA intermediate (retrotransposons and non-LTR retrotransposons).

DNA Repair

• DNA damage may arise: (i) spontaneously, (ii) environmental exposure to mutagens, or (iii) cellular metabolism.

• DNA damage may be classified as: (I) strand breaks, (ii) base loss (AP site), (iii) base damages, (iv) adducts, (v) cross-links, (vi) sugar damages, (vii) DNA-protein cross links.

• DNA damage, if not repaired, may affect replication and transcription, leading to mutation or cell death.

Effect of DNA damage on replication: (i) coding lesions won’t interfere with replication but may produce mutation, (ii) non-coding lesions will interfere with replication and may lead to formation of daughter-strand gaps (DSG) or double-strand breaks (DSB).

DSG and DSB may be repaired by recombination process, to be discussed in the following section.
