The effect of p53‐RNAi and p53 knockout on human 8‐oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOgg1) activity
17 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence indicates that in vitro p53 augments base excision repair (BER) activities in mammalian cells. To understand the role of p53 in BER, we analyzed the repair activity of hOgg1 in isogenic cell lines HCT116p53+/+ and HCT116p53-/-. We found that hOgg1 activity was significantly decreased in HCT116p53-/- cells as compared with HCT116p53+/+ cells, indicating a functional role for p53 in the regulation...
