• Generation of a Mouse Model Lacking the Non-Homologous End-Joining Factor Mri/Cyren 

      Castaneda Zegarra, Sergio Miguel; Huse, Camilla; Røsand, Øystein; Sarno, Antonio; Xing, Mengtan; Zhang, Qindong; Alirezaylavasani, Amin; Werner, Julia; Ji, Ping; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Wang, Wei; Bjørås, Magnar; Oksenych, Valentyn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Classical non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a molecular pathway that detects, processes, and ligates DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) throughout the cell cycle. Mutations in several NHEJ genes result in neurological ...
    • 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 ...
    • Uracil-DNA glycosylase UNG1 isoform variant supports class switch recombination and repairs nuclear genomic uracil 

      Sarno, Antonio; Lundbæk, Marie Benner; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Aas, Per Arne; Mjelle, Robin; Hagen, Lars; Sousa, Mirta; Krokan, Hans Einar; Kavli, Bodil Merete (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      UNG is the major uracil-DNA glycosylase in mammalian cells and is involved in both error-free base excision repair of genomic uracil and mutagenic uracil-processing at the antibody genes. However, the regulation of UNG in ...
