    • The escherichia coli alkA gene is activated to alleviate mutagenesis by an oxidized deoxynucleoside 

      Grøsvik, Kristin; Tesfahun, Almaz Nigatu; Muruzábal-Lecumberri, Izaskun; Haugland, Gyri Teien; Leiros, Ingar; Ruoff, Peter; Kvaløy, Jan Terje; Knævelsrud, Ingeborg; Ånensen, Hilde; Alexeeva, Marina; Sato, Kousuke; Matsuda, Akira; Alseth, Ingrun; Klungland, Arne; Bjelland, Svein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-25)
      The cellular methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and other endo/exogenous agents methylate DNA bases non-enzymatically into products interfering with replication and transcription. An important product is 3-methyladenine (m<sup>3</sup>A), which in <i>Escherichia coli</i> is removed by m<sup>3</sup>A-DNA glycosylase I (Tag) and II (AlkA). The <i>tag</i> gene is constitutively expressed, while ...

    • Intrinsic Strand-Incision Activity of Human UNG: Implications for Nick Generation in Immunoglobulin Gene Diversification 

      Alexeeva, Marina; Moen, Marivi Nabong; Xu, Xiang Ming; Rasmussen, Anette; Leiros, Ingar; Kirpekar, Finn; Klungland, Arne; Alsøe, Lene; Nilsen, Hilde; Bjelland, Svein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-22)
      Uracil arises in cellular DNA by cytosine (C) deamination and erroneous replicative incorporation of deoxyuridine monophosphate opposite adenine. The former generates C ! thymine transition mutations if uracil is not removed by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) and replaced by C by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. The primary human UDG is hUNG. During immunoglobulin gene diversification in ...
