Abstract excerpt
Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been implicated as a contributing factor to the origin of many pathological processes. Among the major DNA lesions generated by oxidative stress, 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) has a strong mutagenic potential. The main pathway for the repair of this lesion is the base excision repair (BER) initiated by the OGG1 DNA glycosylase. In human cells alternative splicing of the...
