Repair of DNA-polypeptide crosslinks by human excision nuclease.
DNA-protein crosslinks are relatively common DNA lesions that form during the physiological processing of DNA by replication and recombination proteins, by side reactions of base excision repair enzymes, and by cellular exposure to bifunctional DNA-damaging agents such as platinum compounds. The mechanism by which pathological DNA-protein crosslinks are repaired in humans is not known. In this ...
متن کاملReconstitution of human excision nuclease with recombinant XPF-ERCC1 complex.
The human XPF-ERCC1 protein complex is one of several factors known to be required for general nucleotide excision repair. Genetic data indicate that both proteins of this complex are necessary for the repair of interstrand cross-links, perhaps via recombination. To determine whether XPF-ERCC1 completes a set of six proteins that are sufficient to carry out excision repair, the human XPF and ER...
متن کاملDNA damage in the nucleosome core is refractory to repair by human excision nuclease.
To investigate the effect of nucleosomes on nucleotide excision repair in humans, we prepared a mononucleosome containing a (6-4) photoproduct in the nucleosome core and examined its repair with the reconstituted human excision nuclease system and with cell extracts. Nucleosomal DNA is repaired at a rate of about 10% of that for naked DNA in both systems. These results are in agreement with in ...
متن کاملAssembly, subunit composition, and footprint of human DNA repair excision nuclease.
The assembly and composition of human excision nuclease were investigated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and DNase I footprinting. Individual repair factors or any combination of up to four repair factors failed to form DNA-protein complexes of high specificity and stability. A stable complex of high specificity can be detected only when XPA/RPA, transcription factor IIH, XPC.HHR23B, a...
متن کاملExcision of tamoxifen-DNA adducts by the human nucleotide excision repair system.
The antiestrogen tamoxifen is used in the treatment of breast cancer and has recently been recommended as a chemopreventive drug for women at high risk for breast cancer. However, women treated with the drug have an increased incidence of endometrial cancer. It has been suggested that this endometrial cancer might result from mutagenic DNA adducts, which are formed by electrophilic tamoxifen sp...
