SOD1 Is Essential for the Viability of DT40 Cells and Nuclear SOD1 Functions as a Guardian of Genomic DNA
Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are produced during normal cellular metabolism, particularly by respiration in mitochondria, and these ROSs are considered to cause oxidative damage to macromolecules, including DNA. In our previous paper, we found no indication that depletion of mitochondrial superoxi...
