Both 8-oxo-dG and 8-oxo-dGTP exhibit dual-coding potential and can pair with cytosine or adenine. Accordingly, these lesions interfere with replication by DNA polymerases, lead to mutation and ultimately drive diseases such as cancer. Interestingly, DNA polymerase lambda (Pol \u03bb) is uniquely capable of facilitating the error-free bypass of 8-oxo-dG-containing DNA and has thus been implicated in its repair. As such, I have utilized structural techniques (X-ray crystallography), complemented with biochemical experiments (steady-state kinetics), to gain insight into the mechanism of 8-oxo-dG bypass in Pol \u03bb. Moreover, considering that Pol \u03bb operates under conditions where oxidative damage is prevalent, it is also expected to frequently encounter 8-oxo-dGTP. Thus, I have characterized Pol \u03bb in the context of 8-oxo-dGTP to further understand the mechanisms governing nucleotide selectivity. Together, my results provide a framework for understanding how DNA polymerases cope with oxidative DNA damage."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:50:29Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"de los Santos, Carlos"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Burak, Matthew John"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:50:29Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:50:29Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology"},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"136 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/76503"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2016-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:50:29Z (GMT).
