Abstract excerpt
The DNA-alkylating metabolite tilimycin is a microbial genotoxin. Intestinal accumulation of tilimycin in individuals carrying til+ Klebsiella spp. causes apoptotic erosion of the epithelium and colitis. Renewal of the intestinal lining and response to injury requires the activities of stem cells located at the base of intestinal crypts. This study interrogates the consequences of tilimycin-induced DNA damage to...
