To experimentally address the mechanisms orchestrating BER, we monitored both the overall rate and the rate-limiting steps in the repair in cell-free extracts of five different endogenously occurring DNA lesions (abasic site, uracil, 8-oxoguanine, hypoxanthine and 5,6-dihydrouracil) and the effect of addition of rate-limiting BER components on the rate and co-ordination of BER reactions.

We also find that repair of different DNA lesions involves different mechanisms for optimizing repair rates without accumulation of intermediates. Repair of some lesions such as 8-oxoguanine is regulated by glycosylase turnover and progress without substantial accumulation of repair intermediates.
