Abstract excerpt
In mammalian cells, thymine glycols and other oxidized pyrimidines such as 5,6-dihydrouracil are removed from DNA by the NTH1 protein, a bifunctional DNA-N-glycosylase. However, mNTH1 knock-out mice in common with other DNA glycosylase-deficient mice do not show any severe abnormalities associated with accumulation of DNA damage and mutations. In the present study we used an in vitro repair system to investigate...
