The 5-hydroxymethylcytosine binding, embryonic stem-cell-specific (HMCES) protein forms a covalent DNA-protein cross-link (DPC) with abasic (AP) sites in single-stranded DNA, and the resulting ...
Covalent DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) are pervasive DNA lesions that challenge genome stability and can be induced by metabolic or chemotherapeutic cross-linking agents including reactive aldehydes, ...
