Abstract:
DNA is under constant attack from numerous damaging agents and our cells deal with thousands of lesions every day. With such constant damage it is inevitable that the template will not be completely cleared of lesions before the replication complex arrives. The consequences of the replisome meeting an obstacle will depend upon the nature of the obstacle. I have focussed upon replication in Escherichia coli and the effect of UV-induced lesions, which would block synthesis by the replicative polymerases. It is accepted that a UV lesion in the lagging strand template can be bypassed by the replis

Abstract:
Potentially carcinogenic DNA damage that may be derived from dietary sources can be quantified using a number of methods. Some of the best of these methods are based on the use of antibodies that have high affinity and specificity for modified DNA bases. However, given the sometimes limited availability of antibodies there is a requirement for novel reagents that mimic the properties of the best antibodies. From a chemical perspective antibodies are `over engineered' and synthetic affinity reagents would recreate the optimal properties of the binding site with respect to selectivity and affini

DNA extracted from biological stains is often intractable to analysis.

However, other forms exist and among them are the G-quadruplex. This is a folding of the DNA, or RNA, in an area rich in guanines. These form quadruplex of guanines, which are stacked on top of each other and are stabilized by a central cation. G-quadruplex structures

Abstract:
Sites of unrepaired DNA damage block DNA synthesis by replicative polymerases and interrupt replication fork progression. This is a problem because stalled replication forks can collapse leading to DNA double-stranded breaks, chromosome instability, and eventually cell death. The translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) pathway rescues stalled replication forks by using polymerases that are specialized for replicating damaged DNA, called non-classical polymerases. The use of TLS is risky however, because it can result in replication errors leading to mutations and eventually carcinogenesis. Genetic stu

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs ) are extremely toxic to cells because they can lead to genomic rearrangements and even cell death. Two main pathways can repair DSBs: the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway and the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. NHEJ is the primary repair pathway in mammalian cells. HRR repairs single strand breaks (SSBs) or DSBs, mostly during late S phase and G2 phase of the cell cycle, by using an undamaged copy of the DNA sequence, and is therefore largely error-free, while the NHEJ pathway repairs DSBs without the requirement for sequence homology, ma

The human XPF (ERCC4) and ERCC1 proteins form a heterodimeric endonuclease that plays a critical role in maintaining genome stability. Mutations in the XPF gene cause several heritable disorders including Fanconi anemia (FA). This highlights the importance of DNA repair processes controlled by XPF-ERCC1, including the repair at replication forks stalled by DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), for human health. Unrepaired ICLs, formed by by-products of cellular metabolism, are believed to be responsible for the genomic instability, cellular attrition and cancer predisposition seen in FA patients.

Abstract:
Development of methods for the characterization and retrieval of damaged DNA from ancient biological material Over course of the last decade, the field of ancient DNA has been transformed by the advent of highthroughput sequencing. In specimens with exceptional DNA preservation, this allowed whole nuclear genomes of extinct organisms to be sequenced and analyzed. To deal with material with suboptimal DNA preservation and high levels of external modern DNA contamination as is common in intensively handled museum specimens, significant challenges remain. In this thesis I developed laboratory an

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>生物科技研究所<br>94<br>ABSTRACT Dipyrimidine photoproducts induced by UV irradiation on DNA are primarily removed from UV-damaged DNA by nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER proteins homologous to the human XPA were not detected in the extracts of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos, yet these extracts were previously found to contain two 30 to 35 kDa UV-damaged-DNA binding proteins homologous to the 150 kDa vitellogenin1 (Vg1). The objectives of this research were to examine if multiple Vg1-like UV-binding factors existed in zebrafish embryos and whether these factors were involved i

abstract: Fluorescence spectroscopy is a popular technique that has been particularly useful in probing biological systems, especially with the invention of single molecule fluorescence. For example, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is one tool that has been helpful in probing distances and conformational changes in biomolecules. In this work, important properties necessary in the quantification of FRET were investigated while FRET was also applied to gain insight into the dynamics of biological molecules. In particular, dynamics of damaged DNA was investigated. While damages in DNA ar

碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>原子科學系<br>88<br>Abstract All functions in biological system are almost accomplished by transduction of electromagnetic signal; the binding energy among these biological molecules is larger than that of microwaves and extremely low frequency(ELF) electromagnetic(EM) fields. The energy of EM waves is incapable of breaking the bindings, but affect the electrons within the molecules for their polarization and drift, etc. So the cell properties may be influenced by the EM waves.

DDB2, together with DDB1, comprises the UV-DDB complex, which recognizes DNA lesions caused by UV irradiation. Mutations in the human DDB2 gene give rise to xeroderma pigmentosum group E (XPE), a disease characterized by increased skin tumorigenesis in response to UV-irradiation. Similarly to XPE patients, the DDB2-deficient mice developed spontaneous tumors. DDB2 is also shown to involve in p53-mediated apoptosis. Therefo
