Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) : from spinocerebellar ataxia to roles in mitochondrial DNA repair and cancer therapy

Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) is a 3’-DNA phosphodiesterase that resolves a variety of physiological and drug-induced 3’DNA-blocking lesions. This activity makes Tdp1 an important component of the base-excision repair pathway. While the biochemical activity of Tdp1 has been extensively s...
