项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway from bacteria to humans that removes a wide variety of DNA lesions caused by environmental agents such as UV light and air pollutants. In addition, NER is important for the removal of adducts induced by several anticancer drugs, such as cisplatin. One of the fundamental questions in the field of DNA repair is how a modest number of repair proteins scan through several million (for bacteria) to a few billion base-pairs (for mammalian cells) of non-damaged DNA to find rare damaged bases. This project combines single molecule approaches (atomic force microscopy, and oblique angle fluorescence) with biochemical approaches to examine how bacterial and eukaryotic nucleotide excision repair proteins detect and remove damaged nucleotides from DNA. This study uses a novel optical platform for viewing single molecules in real-time moving on DNA and will give a dynamic view of how these protein machines assemble on DNA and track down DNA lesions. This highly innovative project has three main aims: 1) to investigate how bacterial NER proteins achieve highly specific recognition and repair of DNA damage; 2) to characterize the search mechanisms employed by human damage recognition proteins, XPC-HR23B, XPA, RPA, and UV-DDB; and 3) to examine the dynamics of human XPD (ERCC2), and XPB (ERCC3) helicase proteins on DNA. This project will test the hypothesis that the bacterial and human NER proteins share similar modes of DNA binding and searching mechanisms for damage detection and processing. Completion of these aims will help to revolutionize the field of DNA repair by developing new imaging techniques that allow direct visualization and real-time measurements of protein complexes in all stages of repair. They will also begin to address how damage is detected in the context of chromatin. In future years, they will also lay the ground work for imaging single-molecules in real time in living cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：核苷酸切除修复（NER）是一种从细菌到人类的高度保守途径，它消除了由紫外线光和空气污染物等环境剂引起的多种DNA病变。此外，NER对于去除几种抗癌药物（例如顺铂）诱导的加合物很重要。 DNA修复领域中的基本问题之一是，如何通过数百万（用于细菌）扫描数百万个未破坏DNA的碱基对（用于哺乳动物细胞）的数百万（用于细菌）如何扫描以找到稀有损坏的碱基。该项目结合了单分子方法（原子力显微镜和倾斜角荧光）与生化方法相结合，以检查细菌和真核核苷酸切除修复蛋白如何检测并从DNA中检测到受损的核苷酸。这项研究使用了一个新型的光学平台来查看DNA实时移动中的单分子，并将对这些蛋白质机器如何在DNA上组装并跟踪DNA病变的动态视图。这个高度创新的项目具有三个主要目的：1）研究细菌NER蛋白如何实现对DNA损伤的高度特异性识别和修复； 2）表征人类伤害识别蛋白所采用的搜索机制，XPC-HR23B，XPA，RPA和UV-DDB； 3）检查人XPD（ERCC2）的动力学和DNA上XPB（ERCC3）旋转酶蛋白。该项目将检验以下假设：细菌和人类NER蛋白具有类似的DNA结合模式以及搜索机制以进行损伤检测和加工。这些目标的完成将有助于通过开发新的成像技术来彻底改变DNA修复领域，从而在所有修复阶段中直接可视化和实时测量蛋白质复合物。他们还将开始解决在染色质的情况下检测到的损害。在未来的几年中，他们还将在活细胞中实时成像单分子成像。
