Elements in abasic site recognition by the major human and Escherichia coli apurinic/apyrimidinic endonucleases
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
Sites of base loss in DNA arise spontaneously, are induced by damaging agents or are generated by DNA glycosylases. Repair of these potentially mutagenic or lethal lesions is carried out by apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases. To test current models of AP site recognition, we examined the effects of site-specific DNA structural modifications and an F266A mutation on incision and protein-DNA complex formation...
