Abstract:
Maintenance of genomic stability is paramount for survival of an organism; failure to repair DNA damage ultimately leads to the accumulation of genetically unstable cells and the onset of different human diseases including cancer. DNA single strand breaks and base oxidation/alkylation are among the most frequent types of DNA damage occurring spontaneously in cells. Base excision repair (BER), which copes with the majority of these lesions, is therefore a fundamental DNA repair system. Accordingly, it is important to understand how BER is regulated, and particularly, how and if BER is affected

Abstract:
DNA in eukaryotes is packaged into nucleosomes, which present steric impediments to many of the factors and enzymes that act on DNA, including DNA repair enzymes. Within the nucleosome, DNA remains vulnerable to oxidative damage that can result from normal cellular metabolism, ionizing radiation, and various chemical agents. Oxidatively damaged DNA is repaired in a stepwise fashion via the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Other DNA repair pathways, including Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), Mismatch Repair (MMR), Homologous Recombination (HR), and Non-homologous End-Joining (NHEJ) are all

Abstract:
DNA damage can cause genome instability, which may lead to human cancer. The most common form of DNA damage is DNA base damage, which is efficiently repaired by DNA base excision repair (BER). Thus BER is the major DNA repair pathway that maintains the stability of the genome. On the other hand, BER mediates DNA demethylation that can occur on the promoter region of important tumor suppressor genes such as Breast Cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene that is also involved in prevention and development of cancer.

Mismatch uracil DNA Glycosylase (MUG) from Escherichia coli is an initiating enzyme in the base excision repair (BER) pathway and is responsible for the removal of 3,N4-ethenocytosine and uracil from DNA during the stationary phase of E.coli cell growth. As with other DNA glycosylases, the abasic product is potentially more harmful than the initial lesion. MUG is widely regarded as a 'single turnover' enzyme because it still remains tightly bound to its abasic product after cleavage, thus impeding its catalytic turnover. This may be a general protective mechanism to protect the abasic BER inte

Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansions are the cause of over 40 human neurodegenerative diseases, and are linked to DNA damage and base excision repair (BER). We explored the role of DNA damage and BER in modulating TNR instability through analysis of DNA structures, BER protein activities, and reconstitution of repair using human BER proteins and synthesized DNA containing various types of damage. We show that DNA damage and BER can modulate TNR expansions by promoting removal of a TNR hairpin through coordinated activities of BER proteins and cofactors. We found that during repair in a TNR ha

I hypothesised that epigenetic events contribute to the ageing process through deregulation of BER gene expression and that these adverse effects of ageing may be modulated by dietary restriction (DR). To test these hypotheses, I quantified DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications at BER-gene (Ogg1 and Apex) promoters, together

Abstract:
FACT est une protéine clé, qui joue de multiples rôles, y compris dans la transcription et la réparation de l'ADN endommagé. Néanmoins, comment FACT participe à la réparation et à la transcription de la chromatine n'est pas élucidé. Dans ce travail nous avons tout d'abord étudié le rôle de FACT dans le processus de réparation par excision de base (BER). Nous avons utilisé des nucléosomes reconstitués avec de l'ADN à uracile incorporé au hasard. Nous avons trouvé que l'enzyme UDG est capable d'enlever les uraciles localisés du côté de la solution et pas les uraciles se trouvant en face de l'oct

Abstract:
Ionising radiation (IR) induces a wide spectrum of lesions in DNA, including double- and single-strand breaks, abasic (AP) sites and a variety of base lesions. IR-induced damage to DNA can range from simple, isolated lesions to clustered DNA damage in which multiple lesions are formed, usually within a single helical turn of the DNA. Individual lesions within a cluster are recognised by repair enzymes of the base excision repair (BER) pathway, however, clustered DNA damage may be recognised as a bulky lesion and be processed by nucleotide excision repair (NER). Additionally, the presence of ot
