8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), a major DNA repair enzyme in mammalian cells and a component of the base excision repair (BER) pathway, was recently shown to be associated with the microtubule network and the centriole at interphase and the spindle assembly at mitosis. In this study, we determined whether other participants in the BER pathway also bind microtubules in situ and in vitro. Purified recombinant human DNA polymerase beta (DNA Pol beta) and purified recombinant mNEIL2 were chemically conjugated to fluorochromes and photosensitive dyes and used in in situ localization and binding experiments. Results from in situ localization, microtubule co-precipitation and site-directed photochemical experiments showed that recombinant human DNA Pol beta and recombinant mNEIL2 associated with microtubules in situ and in vitro in a manner similar to that shown earlier for another BER pathway component, OGG1. Observations reported in this study suggest that these BER pathway components are microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) themselves or utilize yet to be identified MAPs to bind microtubules in order to regulate their intracellular trafficking and activities during the cell cycle. 相似文献

Base excision repair (BER) is a major DNA repair pathway employed in mammalian cells that is required to maintain genome stability, thus preventing several human diseases, such as ageing, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. This is achieved through the repair of damaged DNA bases, sites of base loss and single strand breaks of varying complexity that are continuously induced endogenously or via exogenous mutagens. Whilst the enzymes involved in BER are now well known and characterised, the role of the co-ordination of BER enzymatic activities in the cellular response to DNA damage and the mechanisms regulating this process are only now being revealed. Post-translational modifications of BER proteins, including ubiquitylation and phosphorylation, are increasingly being identified as key processes that regulate BER. In this review we will summarise recent evidence discovering novel mechanisms that are involved in maintaining genome stability by regulation of the key BER proteins in response to DNA damage. 相似文献

Base excision repair (BER) pathway executed by a complex network of proteins is the major system responsible for the removal of damaged DNA bases and repair of DNA single strand breaks (SSBs) generated by environmental agents, such as certain cancer therapies, or arising spontaneously during cellular metabolism. Both modified DNA bases and SSBs with ends other than 3'-OH and 5'-P are repaired either by replacement of a single or of more nucleotides in the processes called short-patch BER (SP-BER) or long-patch BER (LP-BER), respectively. In contrast to Escherichia coli cells, in human ones, the two BER sub-pathways are operated by different sets of proteins. In this review the selection between SP- and LP-BER and mutations in BER and end-processors genes and their contribution to bacterial mutagenesis and human diseases are considered. 相似文献

The major DNA repair pathway for coping with spontaneous forms of DNA damage, such as natural hydrolytic products or oxidative lesions, is base excision repair (BER). In particular, BER processes mutagenic and cytotoxic DNA lesions such as non-bulky base modifications, abasic sites, and a range of chemically distinct single-strand breaks. Defects in BER have been linked to cancer predisposition, neurodegenerative disorders, and immunodeficiency. Recent data indicate a large degree of sequence variability in DNA repair genes and several studies have associated BER gene polymorphisms with disease risk, including cancer of several sites. The intent of this review is to describe the range of BER capacity among individuals and the functional consequences of BER genetic variants. We also discuss studies that associate BER deficiency with disease risk and the current state of BER capacity measurement assays. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the interaction of PARP1 and its apoptotic 24kDa-fragment with DNA duplexes mimicking different stages/pathways of base excision repair (BER) using a photocross-linking technique combined to in vitro functional assay. We found that endogenous PARP1 was photocross-linked to the gapped, nicked and flap containing DNA structures and its apoptotic 24kDa-fragment (p24), like PARP1, can interact with the same BER DNA intermediates. Effects of exogenous p24 on the repair of DNA duplexes containing a one nucleotide gap with furan phosphate or phosphate group at the 5'-end of the downstream primer were studied in bovine testis nuclear extract. We showed that the interaction of p24 with DNA, as a whole, inhibited the BER reactions. However, gap filling and nick sealing catalyzed by the enzymes of the extract with DNA substrates characteristic for short patch (SP) BER pathway cannot be completely inhibited by p24. In contrast, binding of p24 to DNA duplex with a 5'-furan or a 5'-flap at the 5'-side of a nick inhibits strand-displacement DNA synthesis and activity of FEN1 in the repair of DNA via long patch (LP) BER pathway. Stimulation of the LP BER reactions induced by the addition of FEN1 or PCNA to the extract is suppressed by p24 thereby indicating that p24 can efficiently compete with these proteins of LP BER. Addition of pol beta to the extract can partially overcome the inhibitory effect of p24 and restore strand-displacement DNA synthesis. Thus, the apoptotic 24kDa-fragment of PARP1 may be considered as more efficient in inhibition of the LP than SP pathway and the effect may depend on the ratio of p24 to the repair enzymes catalyzing precise stages of BER. 相似文献

The rate, extent, and DNA synthesis patch size of base excision repair (BER) were measured using Escherichia coli GM31 cell-free extracts and a pGEM (form I) DNA substrate containing a site-specific uracil or ethenocytosine target. The rate of complete BER was stimulated (approximately 3-fold) by adding exogenous E. coli DNA ligase to the cell-free extract, whereas addition of E. coli Ung, Nfo, Fpg, or Pol I did not stimulate BER. Hence, DNA ligation was identified as the rate-limiting step in the E. coli BER pathway. The addition of exogenous DNA polymerase I caused modest inhibition of BER, which was overcome by concomitant addition of DNA ligase. Repair patch size determinations were performed to assess the distribution of DNA synthesis associated with both uracil- and ethenocytosine-initiated BER. During the early phase (0-5 min) of the BER reaction, the large majority of repair events resulted from short patch (1-nucleotide) DNA synthesis. However, during the late phase (>10 min) both short and long (2-20 nucleotide) patches were observed, with long patch BER progressively dominating the repair process. In addition, the patch size distribution was influenced by the ratio of DNA polymerase I to DNA ligase activity in the reaction. A novel mode of BER was identified that involved DNA synthesis tracts of >205 nucleotides in length and termed very-long patch BER. This BER process was dependent upon DNA polymerase I since very-long patch BER was inhibited by DNA polymerase I antibody and addition of excess DNA polymerase I reversed this inhibition. 相似文献

The base excision repair (BER) of modified nucleotides is initiated by damage-specific DNA glycosylases. The repair of the resulting apurinic/apyrimidinic site involves the replacement of either a single nucleotide (short patch BER) or of several nucleotides (long patch BER). The mechanism that controls the selection of either BER pathway is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the type of base damage present on DNA, by determining the specific DNA glycosylase in charge of its excision, drives the repair of the resulting abasic site intermediate to either BER branch. In mammalian cells hypoxanthine (HX) and 1,N6-ethenoadenine (epsilonA) are both substrates for the monofunctional 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase, the ANPG protein, whereas 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is removed by the bifunctional DNA glycosylase/beta-lyase 8-oxoG-DNA gly- cosylase (OGG1). Circular plasmid molecules containing a single HX, epsilonA, or 8-oxoG were constructed. In vitro repair assays with HeLa cell extracts revealed that HX and epsilonA are repaired via both short and long patch BER, whereas 8-oxoG is repaired mainly via the short patch pathway. The preferential repair of 8-oxoG by short patch BER was confirmed by the low efficiency of repair of this lesion by DNA polymerase beta-deficient mouse cells as compared with their wild-type counterpart. These data fit into a model where the intrinsic properties of the DNA glycosylase that recognizes the lesion selects the branch of BER that will restore the intact DNA template. 相似文献

DNA alkylation damage is primarily repaired by the base excision repair (BER) machinery in mammalian cells. In repair of the N-alkylated purine base lesion, for example, alkyl adenine DNA glycosylase (Aag) recognizes and removes the base, and DNA polymerase beta (beta-pol) contributes the gap tailoring and DNA synthesis steps. It is the loss of beta-pol-mediated 5'-deoxyribose phosphate removal that renders mouse fibroblasts alkylation-hypersensitive. Here we report that the hypersensitivity of beta-pol-deficient cells after methyl methanesulfonate-induced alkylation damage is wholly dependent upon glycosylase-mediated initiation of repair, indicating that alkylated base lesions themselves are tolerated in these cells and demonstrate that beta-pol protects against accumulation of toxic BER intermediates. Further, we find that these intermediates are initially tolerated in vivo by a second repair pathway, homologous recombination, inducing an increase in sister chromatid exchange events. If left unresolved, these BER intermediates trigger a rapid block in DNA synthesis and cytotoxicity. Surprisingly, both the cytotoxic and genotoxic signals are independent of both the p53 response and mismatch DNA repair pathways, demonstrating that p53 is not required for a functional BER pathway, that the observed damage response is not part of the p53 response network, and that the BER intermediate-induced cytotoxic and genotoxic effects are distinct from the mechanism engaged in response to mismatch repair signaling. These studies demonstrate that, although base damage is repaired by the BER pathway, incomplete BER intermediates are shuttled into the homologous recombination pathway, suggesting possible coordination between BER and the recombination machinery. 相似文献

Relationship between base excision repair capacity and DNA alkylating agent sensitivity in mouse monocytes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Base excision repair (BER) capacity and the level of DNA polymerase beta (beta-pol) are higher in mouse monocyte cell extracts when cells are treated with oxidative stress-inducing agents. Consistent with this, such treated cells are more resistant to the cytotoxic effects of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), which produces DNA damage considered to be repaired by the BER pathway. In contrast to the up-regulation of BER in oxidatively stressed cells, cells treated with the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) are down-regulated in both BER capacity of the cell extract and level of beta-pol. We find that cells treated with IFN-gamma are more sensitive to MMS than untreated cells. These results demonstrate concordance between beta-pol level, BER capacity and cellular sensitivity to a DNA methylation-inducing agent. The results suggest that BER is a significant defense mechanism in mouse monocytes against the cytotoxic effects of methylated DNA. 相似文献

Two forms of DNA base excision-repair (BER) have been observed: a 'short-patch' BER pathway involving replacement of one nucleotide and a 'long-patch' BER pathway with gap-filling of several nucleotides. The latter mode of repair has been investigated using human cell-free extracts or purified proteins. Correction of a regular abasic site in DNA mainly involves incorporation of a single nucleotide, whereas repair patches of two to six nucleotides in length were found after repair of a reduced or oxidized abasic site. Human AP endonuclease, DNA polymerase beta and a DNA ligase (either III or I) were sufficient for the repair of a regular AP site. In contrast, the structure-specific nuclease DNase IV (FEN1) was essential for repair of a reduced AP site, which occurred through the long-patch BER pathway. DNase IV was required for cleavage of a reaction intermediate generated by template strand displacement during gap-filling. XPG, a related nuclease, could not substitute for DNase IV. The long-patch BER pathway was largely dependent on DNA polymerase beta in cell extracts, but the reaction could be reconstituted with either DNA polymerase beta or delta. Efficient repair of gamma-ray-induced oxidized AP sites in plasmid DNA also required DNase IV. PCNA could promote the Pol beta-dependent long-patch pathway by stimulation of DNase IV. 相似文献

APE-independent base excision repair (BER) pathway plays an important role in the regulation of DNA repair mechanisms. In this study it has been found that recently discovered tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) catalyzes the AP site cleavage reaction to generate breaks with the 3'- and 5'-phosphate termini. The removal of the 3'-phosphate is performed by polynucleotide kinase phosphatase (PNKP). Tdp1 is known to interact stably with BER proteins: DNA polymerase beta (Pol β), XRCC1, PARP1 and DNA ligase III. The data suggest a role of Tdp1 in the new APE-independent BER pathway in mammals. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and increased oxidative DNA damage has been observed in brain tissue from AD patients. Base excision repair (BER) is the primary DNA repair pathway for small base modifications such as alkylation, deamination and oxidation. In this study, we have investigated alterations in the BER capacity in brains of AD patients. We employed a set of functional assays to measure BER activities in brain tissue from short post-mortem interval autopsies of 10 sporadic AD patients and 10 age-matched controls. BER activities were also measured in brain samples from 9 amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects. We found significant BER deficiencies in brains of AD patients due to limited DNA base damage processing by DNA glycosylases and reduced DNA synthesis capacity by DNA polymerase β. The BER impairment was not restricted to damaged brain regions and was also detected in the brains of amnestic MCI patients, where it correlated with the abundance of neurofibrillary tangles. These findings suggest that BER dysfunction is a general feature of AD brains which could occur at the earliest stages of the disease. The results support the hypothesis that defective BER may play an important role in the progression of AD. 相似文献

Mitochondria are one of the major sites of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the plant cell. ROS can damage DNA, and this damage is in many organisms mainly repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. We know very little about DNA repair in plants especially in the mitochondria. Combining proteomics, bioinformatics, western blot and enzyme assays, we here demonstrate that the complete BER pathway is found in mitochondria isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers. The enzyme activities of three DNA glycosylases and an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease (APE) were characterized with respect to Mg2+ dependence and, in the case of the APE, temperature sensitivity. Evidence for the presence of the DNA polymerase and the DNA ligase, which complete the repair pathway by replacing the excised base and closing the gap, was also obtained. We tested the effect of oxidative stress on the mitochondrial BER pathway by incubating potato tubers under hypoxia. Protein carbonylation increased significantly in hypoxic tuber mitochondria indicative of increased oxidative stress. The activity of two BER enzymes increased significantly in response to this oxidative stress consistent with the role of the BER pathway in the repair of oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA. 相似文献

Mitochondrial DNA repair of oxidative damage in mammalian cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA are constantly being exposed to damaging agents, from endogenous and exogenous sources. In particular, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed at high levels as by-products of the normal metabolism. Upon oxidative attack of DNA many DNA lesions are formed and oxidized bases are generated with high frequency. Mitochondrial DNA has been shown to accumulate high levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, the product of hydroxylation of guanine at carbon 8, which is a mutagenic lesion. Most of these small base modifications are repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Despite the initial concept that mitochondria lack DNA repair, experimental evidences now show that mitochondria are very proficient in BER of oxidative DNA damage, and proteins necessary for this pathway have been isolated from mammalian mitochondria. Here, we examine the BER pathway with an emphasis on mtDNA repair. The molecular mechanisms involved in the formation and removal of oxidative damage from mitochondria are discussed. The pivotal role of the OGG1 glycosylase in removal of oxidized guanines from mtDNA will also be examined. Lastly, changes in mtDNA repair during the aging process and possible biological implications are discussed. 相似文献

The biological mechanisms responsible for aging remain poorly understood. We propose that increases in DNA damage and mutations that occur with age result from a reduced ability to repair DNA damage. To test this hypothesis, we have measured the ability to repair DNA damage in vitro by the base excision repair (BER) pathway in tissues of young (4-month-old) and old (24-month-old) C57BL/6 mice. We find in all tissues tested (brain, liver, spleen and testes), the ability to repair damage is significantly reduced (50-75%; P<0.01) with age, and that the reduction in repair capacity seen with age correlates with decreased levels of DNA polymerase beta (beta-pol) enzymatic activity, protein and mRNA. To determine the biological relevance of this age-related decline in BER, we measured spontaneous and chemically induced lacI mutation frequency in young and old animals. In line with previous findings, we observed a three-fold increase in spontaneous mutation frequency in aged animals. Interestingly, lacI mutation frequency in response to dimethyl sulfate (DMS) does not significantly increase in young animals whereas identical exposure in aged animals results in a five-fold increase in mutation frequency. Because DMS induces DNA damage processed by the BER pathway, it is suggested that the increased mutagenicity of DMS with age is related to the decline in BER capacity that occurs with age. The inability of the BER pathway to repair damages that accumulate with age may provide a mechanistic explanation for the well-established phenotype of DNA damage accumulation with age. 相似文献

Cellular metabolic processes constantly generate reactive species that damage DNA. To counteract this relentless assault, cells have developed multiple pathways to resist damage. The base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways remove damage whereas the recombination (REC) and postreplication repair (PRR) pathways bypass the damage, allowing deferred removal. Genetic studies in yeast indicate that these pathways can process a common spontaneous lesion(s), with mutational inactivation of any pathway increasing the burden on the remaining pathways. In this study, we examine the consequences of simultaneously compromising three or more of these pathways. Although the presence of a functional BER pathway alone is able to support haploid growth, retention of the NER, REC, or PRR pathway alone is not, indicating that BER is the key damage resistance pathway in yeast and may be responsible for the removal of the majority of either spontaneous DNA damage or specifically those lesions that are potentially lethal. In the diploid state, functional BER, NER, or REC alone can support growth, while PRR alone is insufficient for growth. In diploids, the presence of PRR alone may confer a lethal mutation load or, alternatively, PRR alone may be insufficient to deal with potentially lethal, replication-blocking lesions. 相似文献

For all living organisms, genome stability is important, but is also under constant threat because various environmental and endogenous damaging agents can modify the structural properties of DNA bases. As a defense, organisms have developed different DNA repair pathways. Base excision repair (BER) is the predominant pathway for coping with a broad range of small lesions resulting from oxidation, alkylation, and deamination, which modify individual bases without large effect on the double helix structure. As, in mammalian cells, this damage is estimated to account daily for 10(4) events per cell, the need for BER pathways is unquestionable. The damage-specific removal is carried out by a considerable group of enzymes, designated as DNA glycosylases. Each DNA glycosylase has its unique specificity and many of them are ubiquitous in microorganisms, mammals, and plants. Here, we review the importance of the BER pathway and we focus on the different roles of DNA glycosylases in various organisms. 相似文献
