Targeting human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) to mitochondria enhances cisplatin cytotoxicity in hepatoma cells (2007)

Zhang, Haihong, Mizumachi, Takatsugu, Carcel-Trullols, Jaime, Li, Liwen, Naito, Akihiro, Spencer, Horace J., ...

Many chemoradiation therapies cause DNA damage through oxidative stress. An important cellular mechanism that protects cells against oxidative stress involves DNA repair. One of the primary DNA...

Investigation of the effect of subcutaneous fat on image quality performance of 2D conventional imaging and tissue harmonic imaging (2005)

Browne, Jacinta, Watson, Amanda J., Hoskins, Peter, Elliott, Alex

Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) has been reported to improve contrast resolution, tissue differentiation and overall image quality in clinical examinations. However, a study carried out previously by...

Quantitative trait locus analysis reveals two intragenic sites that influence O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (2005)

Margison, Geoffrey P., Heighway, Jim, Pearson, Steven, McGown, Gail, Thorncroft, Mary R., Watson, Amanda J., ...

The repair of specific types of DNA alkylation damage by O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (MGMT) is a major mechanism of resistance to the carcinogenic and chemotherapeutic effects of certain...

Isolation and partial characterisation of a Chinese hamster O6-alkylguanine-DNA alky It ransferase cDNA (1992)

Rafferty, Joseph A., Elder, Rhoderick H., Watson, Amanda J., Cawkwell, Lynn, Potter, Philip M., Margison, Geoffrey P.

The cDNA encoding Chinese hamster O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (ATase) has been isolated from a library prepared from RNA isolated from V79 lung flbroblasts which had an upregulated level of...

Enhancement of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Induced Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Production from Primary Human Monocytes by an Activated T-Cell Membrane-Mediated Mechanism

Warwick-Davies, Jan, Watson, Amanda J., Griffin, George E., Krishna, Sanjeev, Shattock, Robin J.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis alone induces small, donor-variable amounts of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) from primary human monocytes in vitro. However, TNF-α release is increased 5- to...

Alkylpurine–DNA–N-Glycosylase Knockout Mice Show Increased Susceptibility to Induction of Mutations by Methyl Methanesulfonate

Elder, Rhoderick H., Jansen, Jacob G., Weeks, Robert J., Willington, Mark A., Deans, Bryan, Watson, Amanda J., ...

Alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylase (APNG) null mice have been generated by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. The null status of the animals was confirmed at the mRNA level by reverse...

A novel DNA damage recognition protein in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Pearson, Steven J., Wharton, Stephen, Watson, Amanda J., Begum, Ghazala, Butt, Amna, Glynn, Nicola, ...

Toxic and mutagenic O6-alkylguanine adducts in DNA are repaired by O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferases (MGMT) by transfer of the alkyl group to a cysteine residue in the active site. Comparisons in...
