Abstract:: Bifunctional DNA glycosylases employ an active site lysine or the N-terminus to form a Schiff base with the abasic site (AP site) base excision repair (BER) intermediate. Cleaving this reversible structure is the rate-determining step in the initiation of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) repair for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1). The OGG1 AP lyase activity can be increased using small molecule binders, called organocatalytic switches, to cleave the DNA backbone in a similar manner as a bifunctional DNA glycosyla… Show more
