Very short patch repair Competes and partially overlaps with MMR MMR is active during replication, Vsp is active in stationary phase
Mismatch repair Use semimethylated DNA to distinguish between parental and newly made DNA strands
Mismatch repair MutS dimer recognize mismatch in DNA
Mismatch repair How could mismatches located at 1000s nt from the dam site be corrected? MutS transition to a sliding clamp
Mismatch repair MMR in eukaryotes
SOS response RecA function in recombination and induce SOS response
SOS response Activated RecA cleaves LexA repressor
SOS response Among other induced SOS response components DNAP V able to synthesize DNA through damaged DNA
SOS response In eukaryiotic cells translesion DNA synthesis is activated at stalled replication fork by monoubiquitination of PCNA
Replication fork reversal Yet another opportunity for bypassing damaged DNA
Double strand break repair DSB recognition
