New Insights in the Removal of the Hydantoins, Oxidation Product of Pyrimidines, via the Base Excision and Nucleotide Incision Repair Pathways
BACKGROUND: Oxidative damage to DNA, if not repaired, can be both miscoding and blocking. These genetic alterations can lead to mutations and/or cell death, which in turn cause cancer and aging. Oxidized DNA bases are substrates for two overlapping repair pathways: base excision (BER) and nucleotide...
