主要方法:
- 时间间隔晶体学被用来捕捉人类聚β的8-oxo-dGTP插入的结构快照.
- 动力和计算分析与结构数据相结合.
- 该研究的重点是对抗腺因和细胞因基的8-oxo-dGTP插入.
主要成果:
- 人类的polβ适应了8-oxo-dGTP,既有syn和anti-conformations,分别是相反的腺因和细胞因.
- 一种新的双价金属离子有助于缓解在8-oxo-dGTP ((反) 插入期间的排斥性相互作用.
- 在催化和酶重新开放后,基配对键的损失导致细胞毒性断的DNA修复中间体,突出突变发生的机制.
结论:
- 通过polβ插入8-oxo-dGTP可以通过电荷调节导致阻塞的DNA修复中间体,从而导致基因组不稳定.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
