Abstract excerpt
The oxidation product of 2'-deoxyguanosine, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG), produces G:C to T:A transversion mutations. The Escherichia coli base excision repair glycosylase MutY plays an important role in preventing OG-associated mutations by removing adenines misincorporated opposite OG lesions during DNA replication. Recently, biallelic mutations in the human MutY homologue (hMYH) have been...
