Genome analysis of DNA repair genes in the alpha proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The integrity of DNA molecules is fundamental for maintaining life. The DNA repair proteins protect organisms against genetic damage, by removal of DNA lesions or helping to tolerate them.

Gene \u3cem\u3emdpC\u3c/em\u3e Plays a Regulatory Role in the Methyl-\u3cem\u3etert\u3c/em\u3e-butyl Ether Degradation Pathway of \u3cem\u3eMethylibium petroleiphilum\u3c/em\u3e Strain PM1 [PDF]
Among the few bacteria known to utilize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a sole carbon source, Methylibium petroleiphilum PM1 is a well-characterized organism with a sequenced genome; however, knowledge of the genetic regulation of its MTBE degradation ...

DNA glycosylases: in DNA repair and beyond [PDF]
The base excision repair machinery protects DNA in cells from the damaging effects of oxidation, alkylation, and deamination; it is specialized to fix single-base damage in the form of small chemical modifications. Base modifications can be mutagenic and/

Higher expression of somatic repair genes in long-lived ant queens than workers. [PDF]
Understanding why organisms senesce is a fundamental question in biology. One common explanation is that senescence results from an increase in macromolecular damage with age.

Structure-function analysis of human enzymes initiating nucleobase repair in DNA and RNA [PDF]
In humans, there are four known glycosylases that initiate repair of uracils in DNA. These are UNG, TDG, SMUG1, and MBD4. It was proposed that the replication independent SMUG1 was the main enzyme initiating removal of deaminated cytosine, whereas UNG2 ...
