Genome-wide kinetics of DNA excision repair in relation to chromatin state and mutagenesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We recently developed a high-resolution genome wide assay for mapping DNA excision repair named eXcision Repair-sequencing (XR-seq) (GEO accession: GSE67941) We have now used this assay to assay the effect of chromatin state on DNA repair. Here we report the results of a time-course of the repair of the UV induced damages cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and (6-4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts [(6-4)PPs] in normal human skin fibroblasts. Comparison of this data to histone modification and DNA-seq maps (ENCODE) revealed initial repair of both damages is enriched in open and active chromatin states, whereas repair in heterochromatic and repressed chromatin states is relatively low and persists to later time points.
