Abstract excerpt
Adenine paired with 8-hydroxyguanine (oh(8)G), a major component of oxidative DNA damage, is excised by MYH base excision repair protein in human cells. Since repair activity of MYH protein on an A:G mismatch has also been reported, we compared the repair activity of His(6)-tagged MYH proteins, expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda Sf21 cells, on A:oh(8)G and A:G mismatches by DNA cleavage assay and gel mobility...
