Enzymatic Repair of Oxidative DNA Damage1
Oxidative DNA damage, including both mutamente and cytotoxic le sions, is implicated in aging and cancer. Studies of the processes which correct such damage in mammalian cells are, however, still in their early stages. Here we have summarized our recent work which demonstrates new features of mammalian oxidative UNA damage repair, such as (a) a functional role for polylADP-ribosyllation in the ...
متن کاملDNA repair: enzymatic mechanisms and relevance to drug response.
A number of chemotherapeutic agents, such as platinum drugs, nitrogen mustards, and chloroethylnitrosoureas, act by forming bifunctional DNA adducts. It is likely that abortive attempts to replicate and/or repair the damaged DNA cause chromosome aberrations and breakage, leading to cell death. Any substantial increase in cellular capacity to repair damaged DNA may result in resistance to chemot...
متن کاملDNA-Repair Capacity in Down\'s Syndrome
Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in human. Subjects with DS are known to be peridisposed to develop leukemia. The molecular basis of the association between DS and leukemia is unknown. The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test measure the ability of DNA-repair in mammalian cells after excision of a stretch of DNA containing the region of damage induced by chemical ...
متن کاملEnzymatic multiplex DNA sequencing.
The problem of reading DNA sequence films has been reformulated using an easily implemented, multiplex version of enzymatic DNA sequencing. By utilizing a uniquely tagged primer for each base-specific sequencing reaction, the four reactions can be pooled and electrophoresed in a single lane. This approach has been previously proposed for use with fluorescently labelled probes (1), and is analog...
متن کاملOGG1 DNA Repair Gene Polymorphism As a Biomarker of Oxidative and Genotoxic DNA Damage
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) gene modulates DNA repair capacity and functions as one of the first lines of protective mechanisms against 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) mutagenicity. OGG1-Cys326 gene polymorphism may decrease DNA repair function, causing oxidative stress due to higher oxidative DNA damage. The main purpose of this stu...
