Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase beta (Polbeta) has been implicated in base excision repair. Polbeta knockout mice exhibit apoptosis in postmitotic neuronal cells and die at birth. Also, mice deficient in nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), a major pathway for DNA double-strand break repair, cause massive neuronal apoptosis. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice have a mutation in the gene encoding DNA-dependent protein...
