释义 | base excision repairbase excision repair[′bās ek′siz·zhən ri‚per]base excision repairbase excision repairA mechanism that repairs damaged DNA during the cell cycle by removing small, non-helix-distorting nucleotide base lesions, which could otherwise cause mutations by mispairing or lead to breaks in DNA during replication. BER is initiated by DNA glycosylases that recognise and remove damaged or inappropriate bases, forming AP sites which are then cleaved by an AP endonuclease. The single-strand break formed by AP endonuclease are then processed by either short-patch (a single nucleotide is replaced), or long-patch (2–10 new nucleotides are synthesised) repair. |
