8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) initiates base excision repair of the oxidative DNA damage product 8-oxoguanine. OGG1 is bifunctional; catalyzing glycosyl bond cleavage, followed by phosphodiester backbone incision via a β-elimination apurinic lyase ...

Induction of OGG1 Gene Expression by HIV-1 Tat [PDF]
To identify the cellular gene target for Tat, we performed gene expression profile analysis and found that Tat up-regulates the expression of the OGG1 (8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase-1) gene, which encodes an enzyme responsible for repairing the oxidatively damaged guanosine, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG).

OGG1 co-inhibition antagonizes the tumor-inhibitory effects of targeting MTH1
Cancer cells develop protective adaptations against oxidative DNA damage, providing a strong rationale for targeting DNA repair proteins. There has been a high degree of recent interest in inhibiting the mammalian Nudix pyrophosphatase MutT Homolog 1 ...

Characterization of oxidative guanine damage and repair in mammalian telomeres. [PDF]
8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) are among the most common oxidative DNA lesions and are substrates for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1)-initiated DNA base excision repair (BER).

Impact of polymorphisms in base excision repair genes on seminal fluid parameters [PDF]
Aim: Abnormalities in sperm parameters can result from genetic variations in DNA repair genes. The base excision repair (BER) pathway is responsible for maintaining DNA integrity.

Identification and characterization of OGG1 mutations in patients with Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibit higher levels of 8-oxo-guanine (8-oxoG) DNA lesions in their brain, suggesting a reduced or defective 8-oxoG repair. To test this hypothesis, this study investigated 14 AD patients and 10 age-matched controls for mutations of the major 8-oxoG removal gene OGG1.

Cysteines of OGG1 are important for maintaining cellular homeostasis
8‐oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) is a base excision repair enzyme that recognizes and excises 8‐oxoguanine, a commonly occurring oxidized DNA modification. OGG1 prevents the accumulation of mutations and regulates transcription of genes involved in inflammatory response, cancer growth, and angiogenesis.

Association of the OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism with tooth loss [PDF]
AbstractAlthough tooth loss is a serious health problem for elderly people, little is known about the genetic basis for susceptibility to it. In the present study we aimed to find a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with tooth loss.
