Background
Extensive structural studies of human DNA glycosylase hOGG1 have revealed essential conformational changes of the enzyme. However, at present there is little information about the time scale of the rearrangements of the protein structure as well as the dynamic behavior of individual amino acids.Methods
Using pre-steady-state kinetic analysis with Trp and 2-aminopurine fluorescence detection the conformational dynamics of hOGG1 wild-type (WT) and mutants Y203W, Y203A, H270W, F45W, F319W and K249Q as well as DNA–substrates was examined.Results
The roles of catalytically important amino acids F45, Y203, K249, H270, and F319 in the hOGG1 enzymatic pathway and their involvement in the step-by-step mechanism of oxidative DNA lesion recognition and catalysis were elucidated.Conclusions
The results show that Tyr-203 participates in the initial steps of the lesion site recognition. The interaction of the His-270 residue with the oxoG base plays a key role in the insertion of the damaged base into the active site. Lys-249 participates not only in the catalytic stages but also in the processes of local duplex distortion and flipping out of the oxoG residue. Non-damaged DNA does not form a stable complex with hOGG1, although a complex with a flipped out guanine base can be formed transiently.General significance
The kinetic data obtained in this study significantly improves our understanding of the molecular mechanism of lesion recognition by hOGG1. 相似文献2.
Thymine DNA glycosylases (TDG) in eukaryotic organisms are known for their double-stranded glycosylase activity on guanine/uracil (G/U) base pairs. Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Spo) TDG is a member of the MUG/TDG family that belongs to a uracil DNA glycosylase superfamily. This work investigates the DNA repair activity of Spo TDG on all four deaminated bases: xanthine (X) and oxanine (O) from guanine, hypoxanthine (I) from adenine, and uracil from cytosine. Unexpectedly, Spo TDG exhibits glycosylase activity on all deaminated bases in both double-stranded and single-stranded DNA in the descending order of X > I > U O. In comparison, human TDG only excises deaminated bases from G/U and, to a much lower extent, A/U and G/I base pairs. Amino acid substitutions in motifs 1 and 2 of Spo TDG show a significant impact on deaminated base repair activity. The overall mutational effects are characterized by a loss of glycosylase activity on oxanine in all five mutants. L157I in motif 1 and G288M in motif 2 retain xanthine DNA glycosylase (XDG) activity but reduce excision of hypoxanthine and uracil, in particular in C/I, single-stranded hypoxanthine (ss-I), A/U, and single-stranded uracil (ss-U). A proline substitution at I289 in motif 2 causes a significant reduction in XDG activity and a loss of activity on C/I, ss-I, A/U, C/U, G/U, and ss-U. S291G only retains reduced activity on T/I and G/I base pairs. S163A can still excise hypoxanthine and uracil in mismatched base pairs but loses XDG activity, making it the closest mutant, functionally, to human TDG. The relationship among amino acid substitutions, binding affinity and base recognition is discussed. 相似文献

DNA glycosylases help maintain the genome by excising chemically modified bases from DNA. Escherichia coli 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I (TAG) specifically catalyzes the removal of the cytotoxic lesion 3-methyladenine (3mA). The molecular basis for the enzymatic recognition and removal of 3mA from DNA is currently a matter of speculation, in part owing to the lack of a structure of a 3mA-specific glycosylase bound to damaged DNA. Here, high-resolution crystal structures of Salmonella typhi TAG in the unliganded form and in a ternary product complex with abasic DNA and 3mA nucleobase are presented. Despite its structural similarity to the helix-hairpin-helix superfamily of DNA glycosylases, TAG has evolved a modified strategy for engaging damaged DNA. In contrast to other glycosylase-DNA structures, the abasic ribose is not flipped into the TAG active site. This is the first structural demonstration that conformational relaxation must occur in the DNA upon base hydrolysis. Together with mutational studies of TAG enzymatic activity, these data provide a model for the specific recognition and hydrolysis of 3mA from DNA. 相似文献

The specific recognition mechanisms of DNA repair glycosylases that remove cationic alkylpurine bases in DNA are not well understood partly due to the absence of structures of these enzymes with their cognate bases. Here we report the solution structure of 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I (TAG) in complex with its 3-methyladenine (3-MeA) cognate base, and we have used chemical perturbation of the base in combination with mutagenesis of the enzyme to evaluate the role of hydrogen bonding and pi-cation interactions in alkylated base recognition by this DNA repair enzyme. We find that TAG uses hydrogen bonding with heteroatoms on the base, van der Waals interactions with the 3-Me group, and conventional pi-pi stacking with a conserved Trp side chain to selectively bind neutral 3-MeA over the cationic form of the base. Discrimination against binding of the normal base adenine is derived from direct sensing of the 3-methyl group, leading to an induced-fit conformational change that engulfs the base in a box defined by five aromatic side chains. These findings indicate that base specific recognition by TAG does not involve strong pi-cation interactions, and suggest a novel mechanism for alkylated base recognition and removal. 相似文献

Human thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) was discovered as an enzyme that can initiate base excision repair at sites of 5-methylcytosine- or cytosine deamination in DNA by its ability to release thymine or uracil from G.T and G.U mismatches. Crystal structure analysis of an Escherichia coli homologue identified conserved amino acid residues that are critical for its substrate recognition/interaction and base hydrolysis functions. Guided by this revelation, we performed a mutational study of structure function relationships with the human TDG. Substitution of the postulated catalytic site asparagine with alanine (N140A) resulted in an enzyme that bound mismatched substrates but was unable to catalyze base removal. Mutation of Met-269 in a motif with a postulated role in protein-substrate interaction selectively inactivated stable binding of the enzyme to mismatched substrates but not so its glycosylase activity. These results establish that the structure function model postulated for the E. coli enzyme is largely applicable to the human TDG. We further provide evidence for G.U being the preferred substrate of TDG, not only at the mismatch recognition step of the reaction but also in base hydrolysis, and for the importance of stable complementary strand interactions by TDG to compensate for its comparably poor hydrolytic potential. 相似文献

Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes in eukaryotes, and are essential in preventing chromosome termini from being recognized as broken DNA ends. Telomere shortening has been linked to cellular senescence and human aging, with oxidative stress as a major contributing factor. 7,8-Dihydro-8-oxogaunine (8-oxodG) is one of the most abundant oxidative guanine lesions, and 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) is involved in its removal. In this study, we examined if telomeric DNA is particularly susceptible to oxidative base damage and if telomere-specific factors affect the incision of oxidized guanines by OGG1. We demonstrated that telomeric TTAGGG repeats were more prone to oxidative base damage and repaired less efficiently than non-telomeric TG repeats in vivo. We also showed that the 8-oxodG-incision activity of OGG1 is similar in telomeric and non-telomeric double-stranded substrates. In addition, telomere repeat binding factors TRF1 and TRF2 do not impair OGG1 incision activity. Yet, 8-oxodG in some telomere structures (e.g., fork-opening, 3'-overhang, and D-loop) were less effectively excised by OGG1, depending upon its position in these substrates. Collectively, our data indicate that the sequence context of telomere repeats and certain telomere configurations may contribute to telomere vulnerability to oxidative DNA damage processing. 相似文献

DNA glycosylase recognition and catalysis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
DNA glycosylases are the enzymes responsible for recognizing base lesions in the genome and initiating base excision DNA repair. Recent structural and biochemical results have provided novel insights into DNA damage recognition and repair. The basis of the recognition of the oxidative lesion 8-oxoguanine by two structurally unrelated DNA glycosylases is now understood and has been revealed to involve surprisingly similar strategies. Work on MutM (Fpg) has produced structures representing three discrete reaction steps. The NMR structure of 3-methyladenine glycosylase I revealed its place among the structural families of DNA glycosylases and the X-ray structure of SMUG1 likewise confirmed that this protein is a member of the uracil DNA glycosylase superfamily. A novel disulfide cross-linking strategy was used to obtain the long-anticipated structure of MutY bound to DNA containing an A*oxoG mispair. 相似文献

The mammalian DNA glycosylase, NEIL1, specific for repair of oxidatively damaged bases in the genome via the base excision repair pathway, is activated by reactive oxygen species and prevents toxicity due to radiation. We show here that the Werner syndrome protein (WRN), a member of the RecQ family of DNA helicases, associates with NEIL1 in the early damage-sensing step of base excision repair. WRN stimulates NEIL1 in excision of oxidative lesions from bubble DNA substrates. The binary interaction between NEIL1 and WRN (K(D) = 60 nM) involves C-terminal residues 288-349 of NEIL1 and the RecQ C-terminal (RQC) region of WRN, and is independent of the helicase activity WRN. Exposure to oxidative stress enhances the NEIL-WRN association concomitant with their strong nuclear co-localization. WRN-depleted cells accumulate some prototypical oxidized bases (e.g. 8-oxoguanine, FapyG, and FapyA) indicating a physiological function of WRN in oxidative damage repair in mammalian genomes. Interestingly, WRN deficiency does not have an additive effect on in vivo damage accumulation in NEIL1 knockdown cells suggesting that WRN participates in the same repair pathway as NEIL1. 相似文献

DNA glycosylases preserve genome integrity and define the specificity of the base excision repair pathway for discreet, detrimental modifications, and thus, the mechanisms by which glycosylases locate DNA damage are of particular interest. Bacterial AlkC and AlkD are specific for cationic alkylated nucleobases and have a distinctive HEAT‐like repeat (HLR) fold. AlkD uses a unique non‐base‐flipping mechanism that enables excision of bulky lesions more commonly associated with nucleotide excision repair. In contrast, AlkC has a much narrower specificity for small lesions, principally N3‐methyladenine (3mA). Here, we describe how AlkC selects for and excises 3mA using a non‐base‐flipping strategy distinct from that of AlkD. A crystal structure resembling a catalytic intermediate complex shows how AlkC uses unique HLR and immunoglobulin‐like domains to induce a sharp kink in the DNA, exposing the damaged nucleobase to active site residues that project into the DNA. This active site can accommodate and excise N3‐methylcytosine (3mC) and N1‐methyladenine (1mA), which are also repaired by AlkB‐catalyzed oxidative demethylation, providing a potential alternative mechanism for repair of these lesions in bacteria. 相似文献

Most DNA glycosylases including N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG), which initiate DNA base excision repair, have a wide substrate range of damaged or altered bases in duplex DNA. In contrast, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is specific for uracil and excises it from both single-stranded and duplex DNAs. Here we show by DNA footprinting analysis that MPG, but not UDG, bound to base-pair mismatches especially to less stable pyrimidine-pyrimidine pairs, without catalyzing detectable base cleavage. Thermal denaturation studies of these normal and damaged (e.g. 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine, varepsilonA) base mispairs indicate that duplex instability rather than exact fit of the flipped out damaged base in the catalytic pocket is a major determinant in the initial recognition of damage by MPG. Finally, based on our determination of binding affinity and catalytic efficiency we conclude that the initial recognition of substrate base lesions by MPG is dependent on the ease of flipping of the base from unstable pairs to a flexible catalytic pocket. 相似文献

We reported that plant ribosome inactivating proteins (RIP) have a unique DNA glycosylase activity that removes adenine from single-stranded DNA (Nicolas, E., Beggs, J. M., Haltiwanger, B. M., and Taraschi, T. F. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 17216-17220). In this investigation, we further characterized the interaction of the RIP gelonin with single-stranded oligonucleotides and investigated its activity on double-stranded oligonucleotides. At physiological pH, zinc and beta-mercaptoethanol stimulated the adenine DNA glycosylase activity of gelonin. Under these conditions, gelonin catalytically removed adenine from single-stranded DNA and, albeit to a lesser extent, from normal base pairs and mismatches in duplex DNA. Also unprecedented was the finding that activity on single-stranded and double-stranded oligonucleotides containing multiple adenines generated unstable products with several abasic sites, producing strand breakage and duplex melting, respectively. The results from competition experiments suggested similar interactions between gelonin's DNA-binding domain and oligonucleotides with and without adenine. A re-examination of the classification of gelonin as a DNA glycosylase/AP lyase using the borohydride trapping assay revealed that gelonin was similar to the DNA glycosylase MutY: both enzymes are monofunctional glycosylases, which are trappable to their DNA substrates. The k(cat) for the removal of adenine from single-stranded DNA was close to the values observed with multisubstrate DNA glycosylases, suggesting that the activity of RIPs on DNA may be physiologically relevant. 相似文献

Summary The activity of Ustilago maydis DNAse I, an enzyme implicated in genetic recombination, on DNA substrates containing unpaired or mismatched bases, was examined. The enzyme nicked supercoiled PM-2 molecules, converting these to relaxed circular and linear molecules. Discrete double stranded linear fragments smaller than unit length were also observed after digestion at high enzyme concentration. Heteroduplex molecules were constructed using 80 bacteriophage derivatives which contained single base substitutions within the E. coli tRNA

Restriction endonucleases were tested for their ability to catalyze the cleavage of mismatch-containing recognition sites in DNA. These mismatched base pairs were T.G, U.G, or A.C in covalently closed, circular heteroduplexes prepared by in vitro extension of chemically synthesized oligonucleotide primers annealed to a bacteriophage M13-derived viral DNA. None of the restriction enzymes was able to completely cleave the mismatch-containing recognition sites under standard conditions. However, three of them, SmaI, SalI, and SstI, catalyzed partial digestion leading to an accumulation of DNA singly nicked at the mismatched recognition site. The ability of SmaI and SstI to partially cleave at a mismatch was shown to depend on the nature and position of the mismatch within the corresponding recognition site. In contrast, little or no digestion was obtained with AccI, HincII, HindIII, and KpnI at mismatch-containing sites. Therefore, in some cases a transition-type substitution in only one strand of a recognition site inhibits restriction endonuclease-catalyzed digestion at that site although in others partial digestion occurs. 相似文献

DNA repair proteins conduct a genome-wide search to detect and repair sites of DNA damage wherever they occur. Human alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) is responsible for recognizing a variety of base lesions, including alkylated and deaminated purines, and initiating their repair via the base excision repair pathway. We have investigated the mechanism by which AAG locates sites of damage using an oligonucleotide substrate containing two sites of DNA damage. This substrate was designed so that AAG randomly binds to either of the two lesions. AAG-catalyzed base excision creates a repair intermediate, and the subsequent partitioning between dissociation and diffusion to the second site can be quantified from the rates of formation of the different products. Our results demonstrate that AAG has the ability to slide for short distances along DNA at physiological salt concentrations. The processivity of AAG decreases with increasing ionic strength to become fully distributive at high ionic strengths, suggesting that electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged DNA and the positively charged DNA binding surface are important for nonspecific DNA binding. Although the amino terminus of the protein is dispensable for glycosylase activity at a single site, we find that deletion of the 80 amino-terminal amino acids significantly decreases the processivity of AAG. These observations support the idea that diffusion on undamaged DNA contributes to the search for sites of DNA damage. 相似文献

Arabidopsis ROS1 belongs to a family of plant 5-methycytosine DNA glycosylases that initiate DNA demethylation through base excision. ROS1 displays the remarkable capacity to excise 5-meC, and to a lesser extent T, while retaining the ability to discriminate effectively against C and U. We found that replacement of the C5-methyl group by halogen substituents greatly decreased excision of the target base. Furthermore, 5-meC was excised more efficiently from mismatches, whereas excision of T only occurred when mispaired with G. These results suggest that ROS1 specificity arises by a combination of selective recognition at the active site and thermodynamic stability of the target base. We also found that ROS1 is a low-turnover catalyst because it binds tightly to the abasic site left after 5-meC removal. This binding leads to a highly distributive behaviour of the enzyme on DNA substrates containing multiple 5-meC residues, and may help to avoid generation of double-strand breaks during processing of bimethylated CG dinucleotides. We conclude that the biochemical properties of ROS1 are consistent with its proposed role in protecting the plant genome from excess methylation. 相似文献

To complement available structure and binding results and to develop a detailed understanding of the basis for selective molecular recognition of T·G mismatches in DNA by imidazole containing polyamides, a full thermodynamic profile for formation of the T·G–polyamide complex has been determined. The amide-linked heterocycles f-ImImIm and f-PyImIm (where f is formamido group, Im is imidazole and Py is pyrrole) were studied by using biosensor-surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) with a T·G mismatch containing DNA hairpin duplex and a similar DNA with only Watson–Crick base pairs. Large negative binding enthalpies for all of the polyamide–DNA complexes indicate that the interactions are enthalpically driven. SPR results show slower complex formation and stronger binding of f-ImImIm to the T·G than to the match site. The thermodynamic analysis indicates that the enhanced binding to the T·G site is the result of better entropic contributions. Negative heat capacity changes for the complex are correlated with calculated solvent accessible surface area changes and indicate hydrophobic contributions to complex formation. DNase I footprinting analysis in a long DNA sequence provided supporting evidence that f-ImImIm binds selectively to T·G mismatch sites. 相似文献

We recently introduced a new substrate rescue tool for investigating enzymatic base flipping by uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) in which a bulky pyrene nucleotide wedge (Y) was placed opposite a uracil in duplex DNA (i.e., a U/Y pair), thereby preorganizing the target base in an extrahelical conformation [Jiang, Y. L., et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 42347-54]. The pyrene wedge completely rescued the large catalytic defects resulting from removal of the natural Leu191 wedge, presumably mimicking the pushing and plugging function of this group. Here we employ the pyrene rescue method in combination with transient kinetic approaches to assess the functional roles of six conserved enzymatic groups of UDG that have been implicated in the "pinch, push, plug, and pull" base-flipping mechanism (see the preceding paper in this issue). We find that a U/Y base pair increases the apparent second-order rate constant for damaged site recognition by L191G pushing mutation by 45-fold as compared to a U/A pair, thereby fully rescuing the kinetic effects of the mutation. Remarkably, the U/Y pair also allows L191G to proceed through the conformational docking step that is severely comprised with the normal U/A substrate, and allows the active site of UDG to clamp around the extrahelical base. Thus, pyrene also fulfills the plugging role of the Leu191 side chain. Preorganization of uracil in an extrahelical conformation by pyrene allows diffusion-controlled damage recognition by all of these base-flipping mutants, and allows the UDG conformational change to proceed as rapidly as the rate of uracil flipping with the natural U/A base pair. Thus, the pyrene wedge substrate allows UDG to recognize uracil by a lock-and-key mechanism, rather than the natural induced-fit mechanism. Unnatural pyrene base pairs may provide a general strategy to promote site-specific targeting of other enzymes that recognize extrahelical bases. 相似文献

Telomeres consist of short guanine‐rich repeats. Guanine can be oxidized to 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydroguanine (8‐oxoG) and 2,6‐diamino‐4‐hydroxy‐5‐formamidopyrimidine (FapyG). 8‐oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) repairs these oxidative guanine lesions through the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Here we show that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae ablation of Ogg1p leads to an increase in oxidized guanine level in telomeric DNA. The ogg1 deletion (ogg1Δ) strain shows telomere lengthening that is dependent on telomerase and/or Rad52p‐mediated homologous recombination. 8‐oxoG in telomeric repeats attenuates the binding of the telomere binding protein, Rap1p, to telomeric DNA in vitro. Moreover, the amount of telomere‐bound Rap1p and Rif2p is reduced in ogg1Δ strain. These results suggest that oxidized guanines may perturb telomere length equilibrium by attenuating telomere protein complex to function in telomeres, which in turn impedes their regulation of pathways engaged in telomere length maintenance. We propose that Ogg1p is critical in maintaining telomere length homoeostasis through telomere guanine damage repair, and that interfering with telomere length homoeostasis may be one of the mechanism(s) by which oxidative DNA damage inflicts the genome. 相似文献
