Abstract excerpt
Base excision repair (BER) is essential for active DNA demethylation and DNA damage repair in mammals and plants. Here, we provide genetic and biochemical evidence that APURINIC/APYRIMIDINIC ENDONUCLEASE2 (APE2) plays overlapping roles with ZINC FINGER DNA 3'-PHOSPHOESTERASE (ZDP) in active DNA demethylation and DNA damage repair in Arabidopsis thaliana Simultaneous mutation of APE2 and ZDP causes DNA...
