Base excision repair processing of abasic site/single-strand break lesions within clustered damage sites associated with XRCC1 deficiency.

Ionizing radiation induces clustered DNA damage, which presents a challenge to the cellular repair machinery. The repair efficiency of a single-strand break (SSB) is approximately 4x less than that for repair of an abasic (AP) site when in a bistranded cluster containing 8-oxoG. To explore whether t...
