NTHL1
NTHL1 (Endonuclease III-like protein 1) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a DNA repair gene, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Colorectal cancer.
Overview
Bifunctional DNA N-glycosylase with associated apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) lyase function that catalyses the first step in base excision repair (BER), the primary repair pathway for the repair of oxidative DNA damage. The DNA N-glycosylase activity releases the damaged DNA base from DNA by cleaving the N-glycosidic bond, leaving an AP site. The AP-lyase activity cleaves the phosphodiester bond 3' to the AP site by a beta-elimination.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.73 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes genetic literature 0.76, affected pathway 0.91, literature 0.93, genetic association 0.61, somatic mutation 0.49, animal model 0.47).

- 1 · What it is
NTHL1 (Endonuclease III-like protein 1) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a DNA repair gene, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Colorectal cancer.
- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Bifunctional DNA N-glycosylase with associated apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) lyase function that catalyses the first step in base excision repair (BER), the primary repair pathway for the repair of oxidative DNA damage.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at NTHL1 yet. Inhibitors are shaped to fit the enzyme's active site so the reaction the cancer relies on stops.

Biology
Bifunctional DNA N-glycosylase with associated apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) lyase function that catalyses the first step in base excision repair (BER), the primary repair pathway for the repair of oxidative DNA damage. The DNA N-glycosylase activity releases the damaged DNA base from DNA by cleaving the N-glycosidic bond, leaving an AP site. The AP-lyase activity cleaves the phosphodiester bond 3' to the AP site by a beta-elimination. Primarily recognises and repairs oxidative base damage of pyrimidines. Also has 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) DNA glycosylase activity. Acts preferentially on DNA damage opposite guanine residues in DNA. Location: Nucleus; Mitochondrion (UniProt). Locus 16p13.3 (HGNC).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: UniProt keyword "DNA repair". Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
