(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, which repairs oxidative base damage caused by endogenous and exogenous agents. APE1 acts as a ... -
DNA Repair and Redox Activities and Inhibitors of Apurinic/ Apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1/Redox Effector Factor 1 (APE1/Ref-1): A Comparative Analysis and Their Scope and Limitations toward Anticancer Drug Development
(ACS Publications, 2014)The apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox effector factor 1 (APE1/Ref-1) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in DNA repair and activation of transcription factors through its redox function. The evolutionarily conserved ... -
Understanding the multifaceted role of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2) and its altered behaviour in human diseases
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2015)Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2) also known as Autotaxin, is a secreted lysophospholipase D, which hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) into Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA is the bioactive ... -
A review on protein–protein interaction network of APE1/Ref-1 and its associated biological functions
(Wiley, 2015)Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is a classic example of functionally variable protein. Besides its well-known role in (i) DNA repair of oxidative base damage, APE1 also plays a critical role in (ii) redox ... -
Ginkgolide B Revamps Neuroprotective Role of Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 and Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Against Ab 25–35 -Induced Neurotoxicity in Human Neuroblastoma Cells
(Wiley, 2015)Accumulating evidence points to roles for oxidative stress, amyloid beta (Aβ), and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In neurons, the base excision repair pathway is the predominant ... -
Oxidative stress and inflammation in cardiovascular diseases: Two sides of the same coin
(Springer India, 2015)Globally, the major cause of long- term disability and death is an ?epidemiologic transition? from infectious diseases and malnutrition complications to non-communicable chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease (CVD), ... -
Scaffold attachment factor A (SAF-A) and Ku temporally regulate repair of radiation-induced clustered genome lesions
(Impact Journals LLC, 2016)Ionizing radiation (IR) induces highly cytotoxic double-strand breaks (DSBs) and also clustered oxidized bases in mammalian genomes. Base excision repair (BER) of bi-stranded oxidized bases could generate additional DSBs ... -
A microRNA switch regulates the rise in hypothalamic GnRH production before puberty
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)A sparse population of a few hundred primarily hypothalamic neurons forms the hub of a complex neuroglial network that controls reproduction in mammals by secreting the 'master molecule' gonadotropin-releasing hormone ... -
Geminin a multi task protein involved in cancer pathophysiology and developmental process: A review
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)DNA replicates in a timely manner with each cell division. Multiple proteins and factors are involved in the initiation of DNA replication including a dynamic interaction between Cdc10-dependent transcript (Cdt1) and Geminin ... -
Recent developments on the structure–activity relationship studies of MAO inhibitors and their role in different neurological disorders
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)Monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme catalyzes the oxidative deamination of xenobiotic and endogenous amines including many neurotransmitters. The MAO enzyme exists in two isoforms; MAO-A and MAO-B and these isoforms display ... -
Human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) is acetylated at DNA damage sites in chromatin, and acetylation modulates its DNA repair activity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites, the most frequently formed DNA lesions in the genome, inhibit transcription and block replication. The primary enzyme that repairs AP sites in mammalian cells is the AP endonuclease (APE1), ... -
Cloning and characterization of a riboflavin-binding hexamerin from the larval fat body of a lepidopteran stored grain pest, Corcyra cephalonica
(Elsevier Inc., 2016)In the present study, a riboflavin-binding hexamerin (RbHex) was cloned and characterized from the larval fat body of Corcyra cephalonica. The complete cDNA (2121 bp) encodes a 706-amino acid protein with a molecular mass ... -
Elevated level of acetylation of APE1 in tumor cells modulates DNA damage repair
(Impact Journals LLC, 2016)Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are frequently generated in the genome by spontaneous depurination/depyrimidination or after removal of oxidized/modified bases by DNA glycosylases during the base excision repair (BER) ... -
