Efficient Translesion Replication Past Oxaliplatin and Cisplatin GpG Adducts by Human DNA Polymerase η
30 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Platinum anticancer agents form bulky DNA adducts which are thought to exert their cytotoxic effect by blocking DNA replication. Translesion synthesis, one of the pathways of postreplication repair, is thought to account for some resistance to DNA damage and much of the mutagenicity of bulky DNA adducts in dividing cells. Oxaliplatin has been shown to be effective in cisplatin-resistant cell lines and less...
