• MutT homologue 1 (MTH1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of mutagenic O6-methyl-dGTP 

      Jemth, Ann-Sofie; Gustafsson, Robert; Bräutigam, Lars; Henriksson, Linda; Vallin, Karl S.A.; Sarno, Antonio; Almlöf, Ingrid; Homan, Evert; Rasti, Azita; Warpman Berglund, Ulrika; Stenmark, Pål; Helleday, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Nucleotides in the free pool are more susceptible to nonenzymatic methylation than those protected in the DNA double helix. Methylated nucleotides like O6-methyl-dGTP can be mutagenic and toxic if incorporated into DNA. ...
    • MutT homologue 1 (MTH1) removes N6-methyl-dATP from the dNTP pool 

      Scaletti, Emma Rose; Vallin, Karl S.A.; Bräutigam, Lars; Sarno, Antonio; Berglund, Ulrika Warpman; Helleday, Thomas; Stenmark, Pål; Jemth, Ann-Sofie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      MutT homologue 1 (MTH1) removes oxidized nucleotides from the nucleotide pool and thereby prevents their incorporation into the genome and thereby reduces genotoxicity. We previously reported that MTH1 is an efficient ...
    • Small-molecule inhibitor of OGG1 suppresses proinflammatory gene expression and inflammation

      The onset of inflammation is associated with reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage to macromolecules like 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in DNA. Because 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) binds 8-oxoG and ...
    • Targeting OGG1 arrests cancer cell proliferation by inducing replication stress 

      Visnes, Torkild; Benitez-Buelga, Carlos; Cázares-Körner, Armando; Sanjiv, Kumar; Hanna, Bishoy M F; Mortusewicz, Oliver; Rajagopal, Varshni; Albers, Julian J.; Hagey, Daniel W.; Bekkhus, Tove; Eshtad, Saeed; Baquero, Juan Miguel; Masuyer, Geoffrey; Wallner, Olov; Müller, Sarah; Pham, Therese; Gokturk, Camilla; Rasti, Azita; Suman, Sharda; Torres-Ruiz, Raúl; Sarno, Antonio; Wiita, Elisée; Homan, Evert; Karsten, Stella; Marimuthu, Karthick; Michel, M; Koolmeister, Tobias; Scobie, Martin; Loseva, Olga; Almlöf, Ingrid; Unterlass, Judith Edda; Pettke, Aleksandra; Boström, Johan; Pandey, Monica; Gad, Helge; Herr, Patrick; Jemth, Ann-Sofie; El Andaloussi, Samir; Kalderén, Christina; Rodriguez-Perales, Sandra; Benítez, Javier; Krokan, Hans Einar; Altun, Mikael; Stenmark, Pål; Berglund, Ulrika Warpman; Helleday, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Abstract Altered oncogene expression in cancer cells causes loss of redox homeostasis resulting in oxidative DNA damage, e.g. 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), repaired by base excision repair (BER). PARP1 coordinates BER and relies ...
