Multiple DNA repair pathways prevent acetaldehyde-induced mutagenesis in yeast
2024-01-08
Abstract excerpt
Acetaldehyde is the primary metabolite of alcohol and is present in many environmental sources including tobacco smoke. Acetaldehyde is genotoxic, whereby it can form DNA adducts and lead to mutagenesis. Individuals with defects in acetaldehyde clearance pathways have increased susceptibility to alcohol-associated cancers. Moreover, a mutation signature specific to acetaldehyde exposure is widespread in alcohol an...
