Reaction 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 کاملAntimutator role of DNA glycosylase MutY in pathogenic Neisseria species.
Genome alterations due to horizontal gene transfer and stress constantly generate strain on the gene pool of Neisseria meningitidis, the causative agent of meningococcal (MC) disease. The DNA glycosylase MutY of the base excision repair pathway is involved in the protection against oxidative stress. MC MutY expressed in Escherichia coli exhibited base excision activity towards DNA substrates co...
متن کاملStructure–Activity Relationships Reveal Key Features of 8-Oxoguanine: A Mismatch Detection by the MutY Glycosylase
Base excision repair glycosylases locate and remove damaged bases in DNA with remarkable specificity. The MutY glycosylases, unusual for their excision of undamaged adenines mispaired to the oxidized base 8-oxoguanine (OG), must recognize both bases of the mispair in order to prevent promutagenic activity. Moreover, MutY must effectively find OG:A mismatches within the context of highly abundan...
متن کاملEfficient recognition of substrates and substrate analogs by the adenine glycosylase MutY requires the C-terminal domain.
The Escherichia coli DNA repair enzyme MutY plays an important role in the prevention of DNA mutations by removing misincorporated adenine residues from 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine:2'-deoxyadenosine (OG:A) mispairs. The N-terminal domain of MutY (Stop 225, Met1-Lys225) has a sequence and structure that is characteristic of a superfamily of base excision repair glycosylases; however, Mu...
متن کاملStructure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases.
MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a catalytic role for Tyr126 and approach of the water nucleophile on the same side as the departing adenine base. The idea that Tyr126 participa...
