Cockayne Syndrome Group B Protein Stimulates Repair of Formamidopyrimidines by NEIL1 DNA Glycosylase
30 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a premature aging condition characterized by sensitivity to UV radiation. However, this phenotype does not explain the progressive neurodegeneration in CS patients. It could be due to the hypersensitivity of CSB-deficient cells to oxidative stress. So far most studies on the role of CSB in repair of oxidatively induced DNA lesions have focused on 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine. This study...
