General description

6-O-Methylguanine is a purine derivative and its binding affinity has been examined by B. subtilis xpt-pbuX guanine riboswitch (GR) using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). 6-O-Methylguanine is formed during the alkylation of a number of purified tRNA preparations, via reaction with the carcinogens, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea .

DNA damaging agents are potent inducers of cell death triggered by apoptosis. Since these agents induce a plethora of different DNA lesions, it is firstly important to identify the specific lesions responsible for initiating apoptosis before the apoptotic executing pathways

Purine riboswitches discriminate between guanine and adenine by at least 10,000-fold based on the identity of a single pyrimidine (Y74) that forms a Watson-Crick base pair with the ligand. To understand how this high degree of specificity for closely related

Methylated guanine damage at O6 position (i.e. O6MG) is dangerous due to its mutagenic and carcinogenic character that often gives rise to G:C-A:T mutation. However, the reason for this mutagenicity is not known precisely and has been a matter of

Apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis and cellular senescence are key responses of cells that were exposed to genotoxicants. The types of DNA damage triggering these responses and their interrelationship are largely unknown. Here we studied these responses in glioma cells treated with

Cultured human cells are invaluable biological models for mechanistic studies of genotoxic chemicals and drugs. Continuing replacement of animals in toxicity testing will further increase the importance of in vitro cell systems, which should accurately reproduce key in vivo characteristics
