Abstract excerpt
DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are unusually bulky DNA lesions that form when cellular proteins become trapped on DNA following exposure to ultraviolet light, free radicals, aldehydes, and transition metals. DPCs can also form endogenously when naturally occurring epigenetic marks [5-formyl cytosine (5fC)] in DNA react with lysine and arginine residues of histones to form Schiff base conjugates. Our previous...
