The NEIL glycosylases remove oxidized guanine lesions from telomeric and promoter quadruplex DNA structures
G-quadruplex is a four-stranded G-rich DNA structure that is highly susceptible to oxidation. Despite the important roles that G-quadruplexes play in telomere biology and gene transcription, neither the impact of guanine lesions on the stability of quadruplexes nor their repair are well understood....
