Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease survives to DNA damage generated by ROS/RNS inside to their different hosts. In recent eukaryotes, oxidative DNA damage is repaired mainly by the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway, being essential the apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease activity. Using a pTREX-gfp vector, the nucleotide sequence that encodes T. cruzi AP endonuclease TcAP1 (orthologue of...
