Abstract

Mutagenic abasic (AP) sites are generated directly by DNA-damaging agents or by DNA glycosylases acting in base excision repair. AP sites are corrected via incision by AP endonucleases, removal of deoxyribose 5-phosphate, repair synthesis, and ligation. Mammalian DNA polymerase β (Polβ) carries out most base excision repair synthesis and also can excise deoxyribose 5-phosphate after AP endonuclease incision. Yeast two-hybrid analysis now indicates protein–protein contact between Polβ and human AP endonuclease (Ape protein). In vitro , binding of Ape protein to uncleaved AP sites loads Polβ into a ternary complex with Ape and the AP-DNA. After incision by Ape, only Polβ exhibits stable DNA binding. Kinetic experiments indicated that Ape accelerates the excision of 5′-terminal deoxyribose 5-phosphate by Polβ. Thus, the two central players of the base excision repair pathway are coordinated in sequential reactions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
