Molecular mechanisms associated with clustered lesion-induced impairment of 8-oxoG recognition by the human glycosylase OGG1
2021-09-23
Abstract excerpt
The 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, referred to as 8-oxoG, is a highly mutagenic DNA lesion that can provoke the appearance of mismatches if it escapes the DNA Damage Response. The specific recognition of its structural signature by the hOGG1 glycosylase is the first step along the Base Excision Repair pathway, that ensures the integrity of the genome by preventing the emergence of mutations. 8-oxoG formation, structura...
