Addition of millimolar amounts of a weak base (pyridines) dramatically accelerates the reaction with peroxyl radicals of two biologically relevant uracil derivatives, 5-hydroxyuracil (HU) and 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil (HMU). This is due to the formation of small amounts of the deprotonated form

5-Hydroxyuracil is a major oxidized nucleobase that can be generated by the action of (*)OH radical and one-electron oxidants. The latter modified base that exhibits a low ionization potential is highly susceptible to further degradation upon exposure to various oxidants.

The EMBO journal, 25(23), 5481-5491 (2006-11-18)
Oxidative lesions represent the most abundant DNA lesions within the cell. In the present study, we investigated the impact of the oxidative lesions 8-oxoguanine, thymine glycol and 5-hydroxyuracil on RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) transcription using a well-defined in

Base excision repair (BER) is the major pathway for the repair of simple, non-bulky lesions in DNA that is initiated by a damage-specific DNA glycosylase. Several human DNA glycosylases exist that efficiently excise numerous types of lesions, although the close

Clustered DNA lesions, possibly induced by ionizing radiation, constitute a trial for repair processes. Indeed, recent studies suggest that repair of such lesions may be compromised, potentially leading to the formation of lethal double-strand breaks (DSBs). A complex multiply damaged
