E M B - R C G Mismatch repair system
E M B - R C G Mismatch repair system has to: Recognize the newly synthesized strand Scan the strand rapidly

E M B - R C G MutS scans the new strand from one GATC sequence to another If it finds a mispaired base, it binds to it Then, MutL binds to MutS In E.coli , the system is made up of three proteins − MutS, MutL and MutH

E M B - R C G Base excision repair system This system recognizes modified bases that are not normally found in DNA Such bases may be formed by deamination of: Cytosine to uracil Adenine to hypoxanthine Guanine to xanthine

E M B - R C G Two additional proteins are required in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair These are CS-A and CS-B An inherited defect in either of these causes Cockayne syndrome
E M B - R C G Double strand break repair system
E M B - R C G
E M B - R C G Double-strand breaks are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) or non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) In HR, a sister or homologous chromo-some is used as a template for repair In NHEJ, overhanging pieces of DNA adjacent to the break are joined
