FIGURE 5.

BER activities of 135-bp duplexes with centrally positioned Sp lesions in cell-free extracts from wild (NEIL1+/+) and KO (NEIL1−/−) MEFs. The 135-mer modified strands contained the centrally positioned sequences: 5-CCATC(Sp-S)CTACC (#1), 5′-CCACCAAC(Sp-S)CTACCACC (#2), or 5′-CCACCAAC(Sp-R)TCACCACC (#3); the remaining base sequences in the 135-mer duplexes with #2 and #3 are shown in Fig. 1B. Lanes 1 and 11, oligonucleotide size markers. The BER activities (yield of 67-mer fragments) are strongly reduced in NEIL1−/− sequences in all three sequence contexts.
