Key Role of a Downstream Specificity Protein 1 Site in Cell Cycle-regulated Transcription of the AP Endonuclease Gene APE1/APEX in NIH3T3 Cells
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic or AP) sites are a frequent type of DNA damage that threatens genetic stability. The predominant mammalian enzyme initiating repair of AP sites is the Ape1 AP endonuclease (also called Apex or Hap1), which also facilitates DNA binding by several transcription factors (Ref1 activity). We found that expression of the APE1 gene was coordinated with the cell cycle in murine NIH3T3 cells:...
