Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species generate 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (GO, 8-hydroxyguanine), which induces G:C→T:A transversion mutations. The knockdowns of the protein responsible for Werner syndrome (WRN), a cancer-associated DNA helicase, and DNA polymerase (pol) λ, a WRN-interacting DNA pol, cause untargeted base-substitution mutations (action-at-a-distance mutations). To examine the consequences of the dual reductions...
