Epithelial RNase H2 Maintains Genome Integrity and Prevents Intestinal Tumorigenesis in Mice
28 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background & Aims RNase H2 is a holoenzyme, composed of 3 subunits (ribonuclease H2 subunits A, B, and C), that cleaves RNA:DNA hybrids and removes mis-incorporated ribonucleotides from genomic DNA through ribonucleotide excision repair. Ribonucleotide incorporation by eukaryotic DNA polymerases occurs during every round of genome duplication and produces the most frequent type of naturally occurring DNA lesion....
