Abstract excerpt
Bifunctional DNA glycosylases, which initiate the base excision repair (BER) of oxidized bases, act by first excising the base and then incising the DNA backbone. In vitro, these enzymes are often rate-limited by their apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP)-lyase activity; however, the significance of this step in cells has remained unclear, because AP-endonuclease 1 (APE1) can efficiently bypass this step. To analyze the...
