In E . coli, to repair a thymine dimer by nucleotide excision repair, in which order do the necessary enzymes act? (A) nuclease, DNA polymerase, RNA primase (B) helicase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase (C) DNA ligase, nuclease, helicase (D) nuclease, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase

Respuesta :

In E . coli, to repair a thymine dimer by nucleotide excision repair, the sequential actions of enzymes is in order: nuclease, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase .

The process of nucleotide excision repair is controlled in Escherichia coli by the UvrABC endonuclease enzyme complex.

After scans and recognition of distorted helices by UvrA-UvrB complex, UvrC forms a  UvrBC dimer which causes cleavage of phosphodiester bond 4 nucleotides.

Thus, DNA polymerases delta or epsilon are used to resynthesize the bases removed during repair of pyrimidine dimers and ligase to bind the fragments.
