Structure of Formamidopyrimidine-DNA Glycosylase Covalently Complexed to DNA [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) is a DNA repair enzyme that excises oxidized purines from damaged DNA. The Schiff base intermediate formed during this reaction between Escherichia coli Fpg and DNA was trapped by reduction with sodium borohydride, and the structure of the resulting covalently cross-linked complex was determined at a 2.1-A ...

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Uracil-DNA glycosylase as a probe for protein-DNA interactions [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 1993
The DNA repair enzyme Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) can be used to investigate three different features of protein-DNA interactions. Complexes can be probed by simple protection experiments ('footprinting') or by two kinds of interference assays: a missing thymine site (MT-site) experiment and a missing thymine methyl site (MTM-site) experiment.

Kinetics of DNA bending by a human DNA glycosylase

The FASEB Journal, 2021
Human DNA can be alkylated, oxidized, and deaminated through normal cellular processes or through exposure to exogenous agents. The DNA base excision repair pathway is tasked with correcting a variety of single‐nucleotide sites of DNA damage.

Oncogenic BRAF and KRAS Promote Global DNA Hypomethylation Through a Directed Pathway That Upregulates TET3

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Oncogenic BRAF and KRAS promote global DNA hypomethylation through a directed pathway that increases the levels of TET3, which helps drive tumorigenesis. ABSTRACT Aberrant epigenetic modification is one of the characteristics of the cancer genome.

Complex Roles of NEIL1 and OGG1: Insights Gained from Murine Knockouts and Human Polymorphic Variants

DNA, 2022
DNA glycosylases promote genomic stability by initiating base excision repair (BER) in both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Several of these enzymes have overlapping substrate recognition, through which a degree of redundancy in lesion recognition

Uracil in DNA and its processing by different DNA glycosylases [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008
Uracil in DNA may result from incorporation of dUMP during replication and from spontaneous or enzymatic deamination of cytosine, resulting in U:A pairs or U:G mismatches, respectively. Uracil generated by activation-induced cytosine deaminase (AID) in B cells is a normal intermediate in adaptive immunity.

The WHO Classification of Genetic Tumour Syndromes: Considerations for Genetics

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
The WHO Classification of Tumours underpins the diagnosis of neoplastic conditions. The new WHO classification of genetic tumour syndromes (GTS) provides international standards for their diagnosis. This diagram highlights the chromosomal distribution of the genes involved in the GTS covered in this classification.
