Coordination of DNA repair by NEIL1 and PARP-1: a possible link to aging
26 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Oxidative DNA damage accumulates with age and is repaired primarily via the base excision repair (BER) pathway. This process is initiated by DNA glycosylases, which remove damaged bases in a substrate-specific manner. The DNA glycosylases human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and NEIL1, a mammalian homolog ofEscherichia coli endonuclease VIII, have overlapping yet distinct substrate specificity. Recently, we...
