A mathematical model of human nucleotide excision repair was constructed and validated. The model incorporates cooperative damage recognition by RPA, XPA, and XPC followed by three kinetic proofreading steps by the TFIIH transcription/repair factor. The model yields results consistent with experimental data regarding excision rates of UV photoproducts by the reconstituted human excision nuclease system as well as the excision of oligonucleotides from undamaged DNA. The model predicts the effect that changes in the initial concentrations of repair factors have on the excision rate of damaged DNA and provides a testable hypothesis on the biochemical mechanism of cooperativity in protein assembly, suggesting experiments to determine if cooperativity in protein assembly results from an increased association rate or a decreased dissociation rate. Finally, a comparison between the random order assembly with kinetic proofreading model and a sequential assembly model is made. This investigation reveals the advantages of the random order assembly/kinetic proofreading model.
构建并验证了人类核苷酸切除修复的数学模型。该模型纳入了RPA、XPA和XPC的协同损伤识别,随后是TFIIH转录/修复因子的三个动力学校对步骤。该模型得出的结果与关于重组人类切除核酸酶系统对紫外线光产物的切除率以及从未受损DNA中切除寡核苷酸的实验数据一致。该模型预测了修复因子初始浓度的变化对受损DNA切除率的影响,并为蛋白质组装中协同作用的生化机制提供了一个可检验的假设,建议进行实验以确定蛋白质组装中的协同作用是由缔合速率增加还是解离速率降低导致的。最后,对具有动力学校对模型的随机顺序组装和顺序组装模型进行了比较。这项研究揭示了随机顺序组装/动力学校对模型的优势。
