XRCC1 prevents toxic PARP1 trapping during DNA base excision repair
7 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian DNA base excision repair (BER) is accelerated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and the scaffold protein XRCC1. PARPs are sensors that detect single-strand break intermediates, but the critical role of XRCC1 during BER is unknown. Here, we show that protein complexes containing DNA polymerase β and DNA ligase III that are assembled by XRCC1 prevent excessive engagement and activity of PARP1 during...
