Abstract excerpt
DNA beta-polymerase (beta-pol) carries out two critical enzymatic reactions in mammalian single-nucleotide base excision repair (BER): DNA synthesis to fill the repair patch and lyase removal of the 5'-deoxyribose phosphate (dRP) group following cleavage of the abasic site by apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease (1). The requirement for beta-pol in single-nucleotide BER is exemplified in mouse fibroblasts with...
