<i>IN VIVO</i> EXCISION OF PYRIMIDINE DIMERS IS MEDIATED BY A DNA N‐GLYCOSYLASE IN <i>MICROCOCCUS LUTEUS</i> BUT NOT IN HUMAN FIBROBLASTS is a research paper published in Photochemistry and Photobiology (1982). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 3.4. It has been cited 49 times, with 47 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 49/100.
Abstract It has been previously shown that Micrococcus luteus possesses a pyrimidine dimer‐specific endonuclease which in vitro, functions as both an endonuclease and DNA‐glycosylase. To determine if these combined activities function in vivo, we have isolated and examined the excision products of UV‐irradiated M. luteus. In addition, we have devised a procedure to isolate and examine the excision products from UV‐irradiated human fibroblasts to determine if an endonuclease/glycosylase activity functions in the excision of UV‐induced pyrimidine dimers in human fibroblasts. We find that, in vivo, an endonuclease/glycosylase mechanism is utilized extensively in the repair of pyrimidine dimers by M. luteus, but that human fibroblasts do not appear to use this mechanism.

Base Score Contribution
0.587
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
2.8
From 44 citing papers with measurable signal
Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 17% comes from its base citations and 83% from the citation network (44 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
