چکیده

UNLABELLED Repair-FunMap is a functional database of the DNA repair systems. This database contains not only the proteins directly involved in DNA repair, but also the proteins that interact with the DNA repair proteins. A protein interaction network associated with the human DNA repair processes was established according to the functional relationship between proteins in the database. This network represents the current knowledge on the intrinsic signaling pathways related to DNA repair. The Repair-FunMap could become an essential resource center for cancer research, providing clues to understanding the inter-relationship between proteins in the network, and to building scientific models of the DNA repair processes.

Effects of low dose radiation on the expression of proteins related to DNA repair requiring Caveolin-1 in human mammary epithelial cells

Background: Radiotherapy is an effective and important therapeutic method for breast cancer, but at the same time it has a radiation-induced bystander effect on normal tissue around the tumor. Repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) by normal cells can reduce the extent of damage caused by this effect. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is an important regulatory molecule in cell signal transduction. However, th...

Studies on electron beam induced DNA damage and repair kinetics in lymphocytes by alkaline comet assay

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress followed by damage to critical biomolecules like lipids, proteins and DNA through radiolysis of cellular water. Since radiation has been widely used as an important tool in therapy of cancer, the detailed investigation regarding the DNA damage and repair kinetics would help to predict the radiation sensitivity of cel...

The Role of Long Non Coding RNAs in the Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death. A number of repair systems including homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) have been evolved to minimize the fatal effe...

Dysregulated Expression and Sub cellular Localization of Base Excision Repair (BER) Pathway Enzymes in Gallbladder Cancer

Base excision repair (BER) pathway is one of the repair systems that have an impact on the radiotherapy and chemotherapy for the cancer patients. The molecular pathogenesis of gallbladder cancer is not known extensively. In the present study we investigated whether the expression of AP endonuclease 1 (APE1) and DNA polymerase β (DNA pol β), key enzymes of BER pathway has any clinical ...

Rapid purification of HU protein from Halobacillus karajensis

The histone-like protein HU is the most-abundant DNA-binding protein in bacteria. The HU protein non-specifically binds and bends DNA as a hetero- or homodimer, and can participate in DNA supercoiling and DNA condensation. It also takes part in DNA functions such as replication, recombination, and repair. HU does not recognize any specific sequences but shows a certain degree of specificity to ...
