The E295K DNA Polymerase Beta Gastric Cancer-Associated Variant Interferes with Base Excision Repair and Induces Cellular Transformation
25 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Approximately 30% of human tumors examined for mutations in polymerase beta (pol beta) appear to express pol beta variant proteins (D. Starcevic, S. Dalal, and J. B. Sweasy, Cell Cycle 3:998-1001, 2004). Many of these variants result from a single amino acid substitution. We have previously shown that the K289M and I260M colon and prostate cancer variants, respectively, induce cellular transformation most likely...
