Abstract excerpt
The GO system is part of the DNA base excision repair pathway and is required for the error-free repair of 8-oxoguanine (oxoG), one of the most common oxidative DNA lesions. Due to the ability of oxoG to form oxoG:A mispairs, this base is highly mutagenic. Its repair requires the action of two enzymes: 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Fpg or MutM in bacteria and OGG1 in eukaryotes), which removes oxoG from oxoG:C...
