19 What experimental question will you ask in Module 2? How efficiently does DNA repair by the Non Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) pathway act on DNA damage with different topologies? This raises the following questions How does DNA get damaged? What is DNA repair? Why does DNA repair exist? Why do we care about how efficient DNA repair is? How will we actually measure DNA repair efficiency?

Suggested that aberrant segregalon of human chromosomes could be responsible for a normal cell becoming a tumor cell Suggested that some chromosomes promote cell growth and others inhibit cell growth Marcella O Grady Boveri ( ) also contributed

31 AlteraLons (mutalons) in different kinds of Genes cause Cancer Oncogenes genes that ordinarily promote cell proliferalon but when mutated or overexpressed promote uncontrolled growth Tumor suppressor genes genes that ordinarily prevent inappropriate proliferalon but when mutated allow uncontrolled growth Mutator genes genes that ordinarily prevent mutalons; alteralons in these genes allow increased mutalon rates

33 Mechanisms of Chromosome TranslocaLon

34 Mechanisms of Chromosome TranslocaLon a Balanced reciprocal translocalons from the fusion of two double- strand breaks that arise in the same cell; ligalon of the free DNA ends is mediated by the non- homologous end- joining pathway. Red and blue strands represent different chromosomes. b Telomere uncapping or ahrilon generates a DNA double- strand break response, which potenlally leads to the fusion of telomeres, generalng end- to- end fusions. During anaphase, dicentric fusion chromosomes are pulled apart, leading to the formalon of translocalons and double- strand breaks. Broken chromosomes act as substrates for addilonal rounds of fusion and breakage, generalng increasingly complex translocalons.
