Heavy-ion beam radiation can cause cell DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are factors that lead to genomic instability. Existing studies have demonstrated that homologous end joining, homologous recombination, single-strand annealing, and selective ...

Five monolayer plasmid DNA films were irradiated by low-energy electrons (LEEs) (1~20 eV) in ultra-high vacuum. Crosslinks, single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks and the loss of the supercoiled configuration were analyzed via agarose gel ...

Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group A Suppresses Mutagenesis Caused by Clustered Oxidative DNA Adducts in the Human Genome. [PDF]
Clustered DNA damage is defined as multiple sites of DNA damage within one or two helical turns of the duplex DNA. This complex damage is often formed by exposure of the genome to ionizing radiation and is difficult to repair. The mutagenic potential and

Different types of DNA lesions forming in close vicinity, create clusters of damaged sites termed as “clustered/complex DNA damage” and they are considered to be a major challenge for DNA repair mechanisms resulting in significant repair delays and ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae-based system for studying clustered DNA damages [PDF]
DNA-damaging agents can induce clustered lesions or multiply damaged sites (MDSs) on the same or opposing DNA strands. In the latter, attempts to repair MDS can generate closely opposed single-strand break intermediates that may convert non-lethal or mutagenic base damage into double-strand breaks (DSBs). We constructed a diploid S.

Repair of clustered uracil DNA damages in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Multiply damaged sites (MDS) are defined as greater than/equal to two lesions within 10-15 bp and are generated in DNA by ionizing radiation. In vitro repair of closely opposed base damages > or =2 bp apart results in a double strand break (DSB). This work extends the in vitro studies by utilizing clusters of uracil DNA damage as model lesions to ...

Clustered DNA damage induced by protons radiation in plasmid DNA [PDF]
Clustered DNA damage is considered as a critical type of lesions induced by ionizing radiation, which can be converted into the fatal or strong mutagenic complex double strand breaks (DSBs) during damage processing in the cells. The new data show that high energy protons produce more potentially lethal DSBs than low LET radiation.

DNA damage induced during mitosis undergoes DNA repair synthesis. [PDF]
Understanding the mitotic DNA damage response (DDR) is critical to our comprehension of cancer, premature aging and developmental disorders which are marked by DNA repair deficiencies.

Chemical alterations in DNA induced by genotoxic factors can have a complex nature such as bulky DNA adducts, interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs), and clustered DNA lesions (including double-strand breaks, DSB).
