Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedical research, and specifically relates to the use of human EME1 gene and related products. Background technique
[0002] EME1 is an endonuclease identified as a member of the XPF endonuclease family. EME1 plays an important role in DNA repair following topoisomerase 1 inhibition and its upregulation confers resistance to multiple DNA damaging agents (doi:10.1016 / j.dnarep.2007.02.019). This protein cooperates with the methanolsulfonate-sensitive UV-sensitive 81 protein to form an endonuclease complex. The Mus81-Eme1 complex induces DNA double bond breaks near the ICL (interstrandcrosslinks, ICL) through structure-specific endonuclease activity, suggesting that the complex plays an important role in ICL repair (doi:10.1038 / sj.emboj. 7601344). Consistent with this finding, normal cells from mice deficient in the Mus81 or Eme1 genes were hypersensitive to mitomycin and cisplatin (doi.org / 10.1093 / emboj / cdg580;...
