The role of cysteines in the structure and function of OGG1 [PDF]
8-Oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) is a base excision repair enzyme responsible for the recognition and removal of 8-oxoguanine, a commonly occurring oxidized DNA modification. OGG1 prevents the accumulation of mutations and regulates the transcription of various oxidative stress-response genes.

Objectives Reduced efficiency of DNA repair systems has long been a suspected factor in increasing the risk of cancer. In this work authors investigate influence of selected polymorphisms of DNA repair genes ( XRCC1 , OGG1 and MUTYH ) and level of ...

OGG1 in the Kidney: Beyond Base Excision Repair
8‐Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) is a repair protein for 8‐oxoguanine (8‐oxoG) in eukaryotic atopic DNA. Through the initial base excision repair (BER) pathway, 8‐oxoG is recognized and excised, and subsequently, other proteins are recruited to complete the repair. OGG1 is primarily located in the cytoplasm and can enter the nucleus and mitochondria

8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) deficiency increases susceptibility to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. [PDF]
Oxidative damage to DNA is mainly repaired via base excision repair, a pathway that is catalyzed by DNA glycosylases such as 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1). While OGG1 has been implicated in maintaining genomic integrity and preventing tumorigenesis,

Effect of single mutations in the OGG1 gene found in human tumors on the substrate specificity of the Ogg1 protein [PDF]
We have investigated the effect of single amino acid substitutions of conserved arginines on the catalytic activities of the human Ogg1 protein (alpha-hOgg1-Ser(326)) (wild-type alpha-hOgg1). Mutant forms of hOgg1 with mutations Arg(46)-->Gln (alpha-hOgg1-Gln(46)) and Arg(154)-->His (alpha-hOgg1-His(154)) have previously been identified in human tumors.

8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) is the major cellular enzyme required for the excision of 8-oxoguanine DNA base lesions in DNA through the base excision repair (BER) pathway, and therefore plays a major role in suppressing mutagenesis and in ...

Oxidative DNA Damage Accelerates Skin Inflammation in Pristane-Induced Lupus Model
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which type I interferons (IFN) play a key role. The IFN response can be triggered when oxidized DNA engages the cytosolic DNA sensing platform cGAS-STING, but the repair ...

OGG1Polymorphisms and Breast Cancer Risk [PDF]
AbstractThe role of oxidative stress in breast cancer risk is still unclear. OGG1 encodes an 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase/AP lyase that catalyzes the removal of 8-oxodeoxyguanosine from DNA. 8-Oxodeoxyguanosine, the most abundant lesion generated by oxidative stress, is highly mutagenic.
