Abstract:
In order to identify cellular factors that affect trinucleotide repeat stability, changes in the length of a (CTG)<sub>43</sub> repeat were studied over 140 generations in wild-type <i>Escherichia coli</i> and in strains that are deficient in post-replicative mismatch repair, secondary structure repair and homologous recombination. It is shown that (CTG)<sub>43</sub> inserted into pUC18 expands and contracts in wild-type <i>E. coli</i> in an orientation-dependent manner that is unaffected by transcription. In cells deficient in post-replicative mismatch repair (CTG)<sub>43</sub> repeat instabi

Abstract:
In order to identify the molecular basis of genetic instability, a polymerization-independent strategy is developed to generate expanded repeat arrays. The repeat tracts are integrated in the 5’end of <i>lacZ</i> gene in the <i>Escherichia coli</i> chromosome. Using this model system, instability is studied in wild type <i>E. coli</i> and in strains deficient in cellular pathways such as DNA repair, replication and recombination. The work demonstrates that instability (expansion and contraction) in wild type cells is length and orientation dependent. Longer tracts are more unstable than shorte

Abstract:
Genomic instability, in the form of gene mutations, insertions/deletions, and gene amplifications, is one of the hallmarks in many types of cancers and other inheritable genetic disorders. Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) disorders, such as Huntington’s disease (HD) and Myotonic dystrophy (DM) can be inherited and repeats may be extended through subsequent generations. However, it is not clear how the CAG repeats expand through generations in HD. Two possible repeat expansion mechanisms include: 1) polymerase mediated repeat extension; 2) persistent TNR hairpin structure formation persisting in the

Abstract:
Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) instability including repeat expansions and repeat deletions is the cause of more than 40 inherited incurable neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. TNR instability is associated with DNA damage and base excision repair (BER). In this dissertation research, we explored the mechanisms of BER-mediated TNR instability via biochemical analysis of the BER protein activities, DNA structures, protein-protein interaction, and protein-DNA interaction by reconstructing BER in vitro using synthesized oligonucleotide TNR substrates and purified human proteins. First, we evaluate

Abstract:
The expansion of trinucleotide repeat tracts is the cause of nearly twenty genetic disorders. Almost all these diseases are characterised by anticipation, which means an earlier age of onset and an increased severity of the symptoms from one generation to the next. The mechanisms of trinucleotide repeat expansion are not understood. In the course of this project, I have investigated the instability of a trinucleotide repeat array of 43 copies integrated at the <i>attB </i>site of chromosomes of various <i>Escherichia coli </i>mutants.

Abstract:
Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansions are the cause of over 40 human neurodegenerative diseases, and are linked to DNA damage and base excision repair (BER). We explored the role of DNA damage and BER in modulating TNR instability through analysis of DNA structures, BER protein activities, and reconstitution of repair using human BER proteins and synthesized DNA containing various types of damage. We show that DNA damage and BER can modulate TNR expansions by promoting removal of a TNR hairpin through coordinated activities of BER proteins and cofactors. We found that during repair in a TNR ha

Abstract:
Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansion is the cause of more than 40 types of human neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s disease. Recent studies have linked TNR expansion with oxidative DNA damage and base excision repair (BER). In this research, we provided the first evidence that oxidative DNA damage can induce CAG repeat deletion/contraction via BER. We found that BER of an oxidized DNA base lesion, 8-oxoguanine in a CAG repeat tract, resulted in the formation of a CTG hairpin at the template strand. DNA polymerase β (pol b) then skipped over the hairpin creating a 5’-flap that was

Els models de malalties són una eina bàsica per la comprensió de les malalties humanes. Actualment, la majoria de la informació de la que disposem de malalties humanes es basa en models animals. Tot i això, els models animals difereixen molecular i fenotípicament dels humans, i no sempre reprodueixen fidelment la malaltia humana. En les últimes dècades, les cèl·lules mare humanes s’han establert com una opció molt interessant en el camp de la modelització cel·lular.

Abstract:
A trinucleotide repeat (TNR) is a 3 base pair (bp) DNA sequence tandemly repeated in an array. In humans, TNR sequences have been found to be associated with at least 14 severe neurological diseases including Huntington disease, myotonic dystrophy and several of the spinocerebellar ataxias. Such diseases are caused by an expansion of the repeat sequence beyond a threshold length and are characterized by non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance which lead to genetic anticipation. Although the mechanism of the genetic instability in these arrays is not yet fully understood, various models have been

Abstract:
The main goal of this research is to understand molecular mechanisms of GAA/TTC-associated genetic instability in a model eukaryotic organism, S. cerevisiae. We demonstrate that expanded GAA/TTC repeats represent a threat to eukaryotic genome integrity by triggering double-strand breaks and gross chromosomal rearrangements. The fragility potential strongly depends on the length of the tracts and orientation of the repeats relative to the replication origin and to block replication fork progression. MutSbeta complex and endonuclease activity of MutLalpha play an important role in facilitation o

Abstract:
The integrity of an organism's genome depends on the fidelity of DNA replication and the efficiency of DNA repair. The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system, which is highly conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, plays an important role in maintaining genome stability by correcting base-base mismatches and insertion/deletion (ID) mispairs generated during DNA replication and other DNA transactions. Mismatch recognition is a critical step in MMR. Two mismatch recognition proteins, MutSα (MSH2-MSH6 heterodimer) and MutSβ (MSH2-MSH3 heterodimer), have been identified in eukaryotic cells. MutSα and

Abstract:
The expansion of gene-specific trinucleotide repeats is responsible for a growing list of human disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). Repeat instability for most of these disorders, including DM1, is characterized by complex patterns of inherited and ongoing tissue-specific instability and pathogenesis. While the mechanistic basis behind the unique locus-specific instability of trinucleotide repeats is currently unknown, DNA metabolic processes are likely to play a role.
