Kinetics of the Action of Thymine DNA Glycosylase [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
The time course of removal of thymine by thymine DNA glycosylase has been measured in vitro. Each molecule of thymine DNA glycosylase removes only one molecule of thymine from DNA containing a G.T mismatch because it binds tightly to the apurinic DNA site left after removal of thymine.

Targeted DNA demethylation in human cells by fusion of a plant 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase to a sequence-specific DNA binding domain

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2017
DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic mark associated to gene silencing, and its targeted removal is a major goal of epigenetic editing. In animal cells, DNA demethylation involves iterative 5mC oxidation by TET enzymes followed by replication ...

Expression patterns of Neil3 during embryonic brain development and neoplasia

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2009
Background The base excision repair pathway is responsible for repairing small DNA base lesions caused by endogenous and exogenous damaging agents. Repair is initiated by DNA glycosylases that recognize and remove the lesions.

DNA repair: How yeast repairs radical damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Cloning of the OGG1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has revealed that DNA glycosylases are not necessarily conserved throughout phylogeny, yet there is a DNA-repair protein superfamily with a wide substrate specificity found from bacteria to ...

DNA repair and disease: insights from the human DNA glycosylase NEIL family. [PDF]

open access: yesExp Mol Med
The base excision repair pathway protects DNA from base damage via oxidation, deamination, alkylation and methylation. DNA glycosylases are key enzymes that recognize damaged bases in a lesion-specific manner and initiate the base excision repair process.

Base excision repair deficient mice lacking the Aag alkyladenine DNA glycosylase. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
3-methyladenine (3MeA) DNA glycosylases remove 3MeAs from alkylated DNA to initiate the base excision repair pathway. Here we report the generation of mice deficient in the 3MeA DNA glycosylase encoded by the Aag (Mpg) gene.

Elongation/Compaction of Giant DNA Caused by Depletion Interaction with a Flexible Polymer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Structural changes in giant DNA induced by the addition of the flexible polymer PEG were examined by the method of single-DNA observation. In dilute DNA conditions, individual DNA assumes a compact state via a discrete coil-globule transition, whereas in concentrated solution, DNA molecules exhibit an extended conformation via macroscopic phase ...

Organic Transistor‐Based Biosensors for Viral RNA Detection and Variant Monitoring: From SARS‐CoV‐2 to Effective Management of Future Pandemics

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A novel approach for direct sensing of viral RNA is proposed, allowing PCR‐free detection of viral RNA from genomic material, and variants screening by discrimination of polymorphic amplicons. The device is a cost‐effective, user‐friendly platform suitable for both mass screening kits and as a laboratory tool for an optimized management of resources ...

Chemical Biology of Mammalian DNA Repair

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2001
Damage to the heterocyclic bases of DNA in the genome is mainly corrected by the base excision repair (BER) or nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways.

Mechanisms of base selection by the E.coli mispaired uracil glycosylase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The repair of the multitude of single-base lesions formed daily in the cells of all living organisms is accomplished primarily by the base-excision repair (BER) pathway that initiates repair through a series of lesion-selective glycosylases.
