Abstract excerpt
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (Parp1) plays a central role in the maintenance of genomic integrity and has been unequivocally associated to DNA base excision repair (BER) but its involvement in double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways remains unclear. In this work, using transgenic Parp1-deficient mice harbouring the lacZ reporter gene, we provide in vivo evidence that Parp1 contributes to the prevention of...
