Roles of nonhomologous end-joining pathways in surviving topoisomerase II–mediated DNA damage
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase II is a target for clinically active anticancer drugs. Drugs targeting these enzymes act by preventing the religation of enzyme-DNA covalent complexes leading to protein-DNA adducts that include single- and double-strand breaks. In mammalian cells, nonhomologous repair pathways are critical for repairing topoisomerase II-mediated DNA damage. Because topoisomerase II-targeting agents, such as...
