Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress is a major source of chromosome single-strand breaks (SSBs), and the repair of these lesions is retarded in neurodegenerative disease. The rate of the repair of oxidative SSBs is accelerated by XRCC1, a scaffold protein that is essential for embryonic viability and that interacts with multiple DNA repair proteins. However, the relative importance of the interactions mediated by XRCC1 during...
