Excision of 8-oxoguanine within clustered damage by the yeast OGG1 protein.
Clustered damages are formed in DNA by ionising radiation and radiomimetic anticancer agents and are thought to be biologically severe. 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), a major DNA damage resulting from oxidative attack, is highly mutagenic leading to a high level of G.C-->T.A transversions...
