Second pathway for completion of human DNA base excision‐repair: reconstitution with purified proteins and requirement for DNase IV (FEN1)

TL;DR: The structure‐specific nuclease DNase IV (FEN1) was essential for repair of a reduced AP site, which occurred through the long‐patch BER pathway, which was largely dependent on DNA polymerase β in cell extracts, but the reaction could be reconstituted with either DNA polymerases β or δ.

MGMT: its role in cancer aetiology and cancer therapeutics.

TL;DR: The DNA-repair protein O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) has a wide range of activity in normal tissues and its evolutionary conservation indicates a fundamental role in cell physiology and maintenance of the genome.

ROS1, a repressor of transcriptional gene silencing in Arabidopsis, encodes a DNA glycosylase/lyase

TL;DR: It is suggested that ROS1 is a DNA repair protein that represses homology-dependent transcriptional gene silencing by demethylating the target promoter DNA.

The mitochondrial energy transduction system and the aging process.

TL;DR: Dysfunctional mitochondria in aged rodents are characterized, besides decreased electron transfer and O(2) uptake, by an increased content of oxidation products of phospholipids, proteins and DNA, a decreased membrane potential, and increased size and fragility.
