Base Excision Repair and Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Letters, 2012
Base excision repair is the system used from bacteria to man to remove the tens of thousands of endogenous DNA damages produced daily in each human cell. Base excision repair is required for normal mammalian development and defects have been associated with neurological disorders and cancer.

Base Excision Repair

2006
From the simplest to the most complex organism, cells have to perform a myriad of tasks to ensure cellular maintenance, survival, reproduction and even cell death. The orchestration of these tasks is performed by the many cellular proteins coded for in our genetic material, or DNA.

The base excision repair pathway

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1995
The base excision repair pathway has evolved to protect cells from the deleterious effects of endogenous DNA damage induced by hydrolysis, reactive oxygen species and other intracellular metabolites that modify DNA base structure. However, base excision repair is also important to resist lesions produced by ionizing radiation and strong alkylating ...

A Role for p53 in Base Excision Repair [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO Journal, 2001
Wild-type p53 protein can markedly stimulate base excision repair (BER) in vitro, either reconstituted with purified components or in extracts of cells. In contrast, p53 with missense mutations either at hot-spots in the core domain or within the N-terminal transactivation domain is defective in this function.

Mammalian Base Excision Repair: The Forgotten Archangel. [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2013
Base excision repair (BER) is a frontline repair system that is responsible for maintaining genome integrity and thus preventing premature aging, cancer and many other human diseases by repairing thousands of DNA lesions and strand breaks continuously caused by endogenous and exogenous mutagens.

Mitochondrial Base Excision Repair Assays

2012
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is constantly exposed to oxidative injury. Due to its location close to the main site of reactive oxygen species, the inner mitochondrial membrane, mtDNA is more susceptible than nuclear DNA to oxidative damage. The accumulation of DNA damage is thought to be particularly deleterious in post-mitotic cells, including neurons ...

Base excision DNA repair

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2008
DNA repair is a collection of several multienzyme, multistep processes keeping the cellular genome intact against genotoxic insults. One of these processes is base excision repair, which deals with the most ubiquitous lesions in DNA: oxidative base damage, alkylation, deamination, sites of base loss and single-strand breaks, etc.

Targeting Base Excision Repair for Chemosensitization

Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
In both bacteria and eukaryotes the alkylated, oxidized, and deaminated bases and depurinated lesions are primarily repaired via an endogenous preventive pathway, i.e. base excision repair (BER). Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are two important modes of cancer treatment. Many of those therapeutic agents used in the clinic have the ability to induce
