Abstract excerpt
X-ray repair cross complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) plays an important role in base excision DNA repair (BER) as a scaffolding protein for BER enzymes. BER is one of the basic DNA repair pathways repairing greater than 20,000 endogenous lesions per cell per day. Proper functioning of XRCC1, one of the most important players in BER, was suggested to be indispensable for effective DNA repair. Despite accumulating...
