Background: Schistosoma japonicum is a parasitic flatworm that causes human schistosomiasis, which is a significant cause of morbidity in China, the Philippines and Indonesia. Oncomelania hupensis (Gastropoda: Pomatiopsidae) is the unique intermediate host of S. japonicum.

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics hold great promise for the treatment of numerous diseases, including neuromuscular disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Some antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drugs have already been approved by the US FDA for DMD, but the potential of this therapy is still limited by several challenges, including the poor distribution of ASOs to target tissues, but also the entrapment of ASO in the endosomal compartment. Endosomal escape is a well recognized limitation that prevents ASO from reaching their target pre-mRNA in the nucleus.

The base excision repair (BER) pathway involves sequential action of DNA glycosylases and apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases to incise damaged DNA and prepare DNA termini for incorporation of a correct nucleotide by DNA polymerases. It has been suggested that the enzymatic steps in BER include recognition of a product-enzyme complex by the next enzyme in the pathway, resulting in the "passing-the-baton" model of transfer of DNA intermediates between enzymes. To verify this model, in this work, we aimed to create a suitable experimental system.

The system of base excision repair (BER) ensures correction of the most abundant DNA damages in mammalian cells and plays an important role in maintaining genome stability. Enzymes and protein factors participate in the multistage BER in a coordinated fashion, which ensures repair efficiency. The suggested coordination mechanisms are based on formation of protein complexes stabilized via either direct or indirect DNA-mediated interactions.
