Abstract excerpt
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1, a key enzyme in repairing abasic sites in DNA, is an embryonic lethal in mice. We are examining its role in embryogenesis in zebra fish. Zebra fish contain two genomic copies (zfAPEX1a and zfAPEX1b) with identical coding sequences. zfAPEX1b lacks introns. Recombinant protein (ZAP1) is highly homologous with and has the same enzymatic properties as its human orthologue. ZAP1...
