Research Advances on Base Excision Repair Factor SmuG1 and Tumor
Tumor is one of the diseases that seriously threaten human health. With the deepening of research, it is found that the role of DNA damage in the occurrence and development of tumors is more and more important.

DNA demethylation pathways: Additional players and regulators. [PDF]
DNA demethylation can occur passively by "dilution" of methylation marks by DNA replication, or actively and independently of DNA replication. Direct conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to cytosine (C), as originally proposed, does not occur.

Base Flipping in Nucleotide Excision Repair [PDF]
UvrB, the ultimate damage-binding protein in bacterial nucleotide excision repair is capable of binding a vast array of structurally unrelated lesions. A beta-hairpin structure in the protein plays an important role in damage-specific binding. In this paper we have monitored DNA conformational alterations in the UvrB-DNA complex, using the fluorescent ...

High-throughput analysis of DNA repair in microplates towards identification of inhibitors
Environmental factors can inhibit DNA repair and cause indirect mutagenic actions. Here the author introduces a recent paper on a novel high-throughput system to analyze the various enzymatic activities involved in base excision repair. Such systems will

DNA Base Excision Repair Intermediates Influence Duplex–Quadruplex Equilibrium
Although genomic DNA is predominantly duplex under physiological conditions, particular sequence motifs can favor the formation of alternative secondary structures, including the G-quadruplex.

Viruses with U-DNA: New Avenues for Biotechnology
Deoxyuridine in DNA has recently been in the focus of research due to its intriguing roles in several physiological and pathophysiological situations. Although not an orthodox DNA base, uracil may appear in DNA via either cytosine deamination or thymine ...

DNA repair systems and the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: varying activities at different stages of infection [PDF]
Mycobacteria, including most of all MTB (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), cause pathogenic infections in humans and, during the infectious process, are exposed to a range of environmental insults, including the host's immune response.

The DNA Repair Protein XRCC1 Functions in the Plant DNA Demethylation Pathway by Stimulating Cytosine Methylation (5-meC) Excision, Gap Tailoring, and DNA Ligation [PDF]
Background: Active DNA demethylation in plants is initiated by 5-meC DNA glycosylases of the ROS1/DME family and continued through a base excision repair pathway.

Base excision repair and the role of
The correction of exogenous and endogenous environmental insult to DNA involves a series of DNA repair mechanisms that reduce the likelihood of mutation accumulation and hence an increased probability of tumour development.
