abstract：:In Escherichia coli, endonuclease III (endo III) repairs the oxidation products of 8-OHGua. However, the corresponding repair enzymes in eukaryotes have not been identified. Here we report that 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHGua) is highly sensitive to further oxidation. We also show that Ntg2, a functional homolog of endo III...
