Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species modify DNA, generating various DNA lesions including modified bases such as 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). These base-modified DNA lesions have been shown to trap DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) into covalent cleavage complexes. In this study, we have investigated the role of TOP1 in hydrogen peroxide toxicity. We showed that ectopic expression of TOP1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae conferred sensitivity...
