Abstract

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the primary DNA repair pathway that removes helix‐distorting DNA strand damage induced by ultraviolet light irradiation or chemical carcinogens to ensure genome integrity. While the core NER proteins that carry out damage recognition, excision, and repair reactions have been identified and extensively characterized, and the NER pathway has been reconstituted in vitro, the regulatory pathways that govern the threshold levels of NER have not been fully elucidated. This mini‐review focuses on recently discovered transcriptional and post‐translational mechanisms that specify the capacity of NER, and suggests the potential implications of modulating NER activity in cancer prevention and therapeutic intervention.

Lack of reliable assays for DNA repair has largely prevented measurements of DNA repair from being included in human biomonitoring studies. Using newly developed modifications of the comet assay we tested whether a fruit-and antioxidant-rich plant-based intervention could affect base excision repair

Human hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major risk factor of human hepatocellular carcinoma. Both in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that HBV X protein (HBx) can bind to the p53 tumor-suppressor protein and interfere with the role that p53 plays in the cellular response to DNA damage. Our previous w
