Methylglyoxal mutagenizes single-stranded DNA via Rev1-associated slippage and mispairing
2025-03-18
Abstract excerpt
Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive aldehyde that is produced endogenously during metabolism and is derived from exogenous sources such as sugary food items and cigarette smoke. Unless detoxified by glyoxalases (Glo1 and Glo2), MG can readily react with all major biomolecules, including DNA and proteins, generating characteristic lesions and glycation-derived by- products. As a result, MG exposure has been lin...
