Homologous Recombination
Is this for single or double stranded breaks?
Double stranded breaks
The type of error is this mechanism used for.
Damaged bases
The type of error is this mechanism used for.
Damaged bases
The steps this mechanism follows are similar to.
General repair steps
What does NHEJ stand for?
Nonhomologous End Joining
Is this a perfect mechanism?
Near perfect
Is this mechanism error free?
Yes, it is an error free process
How is the apurinic site created?
DNA glycosylase is used
Loss of mismatch repair can result in what?
Is this used for single of double stranded breaks?
Double stranded breaks
This is required nearby in order for this mechanism to occur.
Homolog
Does this mechanism require a nucleotide template?
No, nucleotide template is not required
This is used to cut the DNA strand and enable excision.
Apurinic endonuclease
The cell uses these to recognize the mismatch in this mechanism.
Mut proteins
Is DNA lost in this mechanism?
Yes, loss of DNA sequence
This occurs at the edges of the break.
Chewing back of edges
The causes of the damage that this mechanism repairs.
Ubiquitous alkylating agents
Where base excision repair occurs in the cell.
Nuclei and mitochondria
This happens to the error when it is recognized.
Excised and replaced
This occurs at the edges of the breaks.
Chewing back
How is the homologous chromosome used in this mechanism?
As a template
The two major types of proteins conduct direct repair.
MGMT or AGT and FeKGDs
The chemical reactions that cause the damage that base excision then repairs.
Deamination, oxidation, or methylation
Mismatch repair mechanism is active during this part of the synthesis process.
Post-synthesis
This is used to join the ends of the gaps.
