Abstract
8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is the key enzyme responsible for identifying and removing 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), the most common oxidative lesion in DNA. While its central role in base excision repair (BER) is well established, OGG1 also plays important roles in transcriptional regulation, cell signalling, and inflammation. As its involvement in these pathways is increasingly recognised, a cohesive overview of how OGG1 activity is regulated within the cell is needed. This review summarises the current understanding of OGG1 regulation at multiple levels, through post-translational modifications (PTMs), dynamic protein-protein interactions, and changes in expression levels. We highlight research on the action of reversible PTMs such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, and acetylation, and emphasise the remaining gaps in our knowledge. OGG1 presents a compelling target for small-molecule modulation with potential therapeutic applications in cancer, inflammatory disorders, and age-related diseases. Finally, we discuss how ubiquitination and the circadian rhythm impact overall OGG1 abundance and consider their implications for therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
DNA Repair provides a forum for the comprehensive coverage of DNA repair and cellular responses to DNA damage. The journal publishes original observations on genetic, cellular, biochemical, structural and molecular aspects of DNA repair, mutagenesis, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and other biological responses in cells exposed to genomic insult, as well as their relationship to human disease.
DNA Repair publishes full-length research articles, brief reports on research, and reviews. The journal welcomes articles describing databases, methods and new technologies supporting research on DNA repair and responses to DNA damage. Letters to the Editor, hot topics and classics in DNA repair, historical reflections, book reviews and meeting reports also will be considered for publication.
