Abstract
DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) can arise from reactions with endogenous chemicals, such as malondialdehyde - a lipid peroxidation product - or from exposure to various clinical anti-cancer drugs, most notably bifunctional alkylators and platinum compounds. Because they covalently link the two strands of DNA, ICLs completely block transcription and replication, and, as a result, are lethal to the cell. It is well established that proteins that function in nucleotide excision repair and homologous recombination are involved in ICL resolution. Recent work, coupled with a much earlier report, now suggest an emerging link between proteins of the base excision repair pathway and crosslink processing.
