Abstract excerpt
The DNA glycosylase MUTYH (mutY homolog (Escherichia coli)) counteracts the mutagenic effects of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxodG) by removing adenine (A) misincorporated opposite the oxidized purine. Biallelic germline mutations in MUTYH cause the autosomal recessive MUTYH-associated adenomatous polyposis (MAP). Here we designed new tools to investigate the biochemical defects and biological consequences...
