Tobacco smoke-induced DNA adducts sensitize genomes to APOBEC mutagenesis and carcinogenesis through nucleotide excision repair
2025-01-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Mutational processes are thought to act independently and additively. We challenge this view by demonstrating that DNA-adducting agents sensitize the genome to mutagenesis by APOBEC enzymes. A model tobacco carcinogen (NQO) triggers a 100-fold increase in APOBEC3B- catalyzed signature mutations and elevates oral carcinoma levels in vivo . A hallmark of this unidirectional synergy is strand-coord...
