Base excision DNA repair and cancer
Transformed cells can develop drug resistance via repair mechanisms that counteract the DNA damage from chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Disruption of DNA repair pathways can cause mis-repair that is cytotoxic [1]. Specific DNA repair inhibitors might thus be combined with DNA-damaging agents for improved therapy. In addition, some cancer cells have a reduced repertoire of DNA damage response...
متن کاملDNA Repair: Nucleotide excision–repair in the test tube
The eukaryotic nucleotide excision-repair pathway has been reconstituted in vitro, an achievement that should hasten the full enzymological characterization of this highly complex DNA-repair pathway.
متن کاملRepair of triplex-directed DNA alkylation by nucleotide excision repair.
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) are being investigated as highly specific DNA binding agents to inhibit the expression of clinically relevant genes. So far, they have been shown to inhibit transcription from the HER-2/neu gene in vitro, whereas their use in vivo has been studied to a limited extent. This study uses a TFO-chlorambucil (chl) conjugate capable of forming site-specific cova...
متن کاملDNA glycosylases in the base excision repair of DNA.
A wide range of cytotoxic and mutagenic DNA bases are removed by different DNA glycosylases, which initiate the base excision repair pathway. DNA glycosylases cleave the N-glycosylic bond between the target base and deoxyribose, thus releasing a free base and leaving an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site. In addition, several DNA glycosylases are bifunctional, since they also display a lyase activ...
متن کاملDNA interstrand crosslink repair during G1 involves nucleotide excision repair and DNA polymerase zeta.
The repair mechanisms acting on DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) in eukaryotes are poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence for a pathway of ICL processing that uses components from both nucleotide excision repair (NER) and translesion synthesis (TLS) and predominates during the G1 phase of the yeast cell cycle. Our results suggest that repair is initiated by the NER apparatus and is follo...
