2-hydroxyadenine in DNA is a very poor substrate of the Escherichia coli MutY protein.
To test the possibility that the Escherichia coli MutY or MutM protein acts as a 2-hydroxyadenine (2-OH-Ade) glycosylase, we treated double-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing 2-OH-Ade with the E. coli MutY or MutM protein in vitro. We found that a strand with 2-OH-Ade was a very poor substrate of MutY, irrespective of the base in the complementary strand. Moreover, a strand containin...
متن کاملThe C-terminal domain of Escherichia coli MutY is involved in DNA binding and glycosylase activities.
Escherichia coli MutY is an adenine and a weak guanine DNA glycosylase involved in reducing mutagenic effects of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine (8-oxoG). The C-terminal domain of MutY is required for 8-oxoG recognition and is critical for mutation avoidance of oxidative damage. To determine which residues of this domain are involved in 8-oxoG recognition, we constructed four MutY mutants based on si...
متن کاملFunctional expression of hMYH, a human homolog of the Escherichia coli MutY protein.
We have previously described the hMYH cDNA and genomic clones (M. M. Slupska et al., J. Bacteriol. 178:3885-3892, 1996). Here, we report that the enzyme expressed from an hMYH cDNA clone in Escherichia coli complements the mutator phenotype in a mutY mutant and can remove A from an A. 8-hydroxydeoxyguanine mismatch and to a lesser extent can remove A from an A. G mismatch in vitro.
متن کاملReaction intermediates in the catalytic mechanism of Escherichia coli MutY DNA glycosylase.
The Escherichia coli adenine DNA glycosylase, MutY, plays an important role in the maintenance of genomic stability by catalyzing the removal of adenine opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine or guanine in duplex DNA. Although the x-ray crystal structure of the catalytic domain of MutY revealed a mechanism for catalysis of the glycosyl bond, it appeared that several opportunistically positioned lysi...
متن کاملEnrichment and elimination of mutY mutators in Escherichia coli populations.
The kinetics of mutator sweeps was followed in two independent populations of Escherichia coli grown for up to 350 generations in glucose-limited continuous culture. A rapid elevation of mutation rates was observed in both populations within 120-150 generations, as was apparent from major increases in the proportion of the populations with unselected mutations in fhuA. The increase in mutation ...
