Crystal structure of human thymine DNA glycosylase bound to DNA elucidates sequence-specific mismatch recognition.
Cytosine methylation at CpG dinucleotides produces m(5)CpG, an epigenetic modification that is important for transcriptional regulation and genomic stability in vertebrate cells. However, m(5)C deamination yields mutagenic G.T mispairs, which are implicated in genetic disease, cancer, and aging. Human thymine DNA glycosylase (hTDG) removes T from G.T mispairs, producing an abasic (or AP) site, ...
متن کامل3,N4-ethenocytosine, a highly mutagenic adduct, is a primary substrate for Escherichia coli double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylase and human mismatch-specific thymine-DNA glycosylase.
Exocyclic DNA adducts are generated in cellular DNA by various industrial pollutants such as the carcinogen vinyl chloride and by endogenous products of lipid peroxidation. The etheno derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases 3,N4-ethenocytosine (epsilonC), 1, N6-ethenoadenine (epsilonA), N2,3-ethenoguanine, and 1, N2-ethenoguanine cause mutations. The epsilonA residues are excised by the huma...
متن کاملStoichiometry and affinity for thymine DNA glycosylase binding to specific and nonspecific DNA
Deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymine creates mutagenic G · T mispairs, contributing to cancer and genetic disease. Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) removes thymine from these G · T lesions, and follow-on base excision repair yields a G · C pair. A previous crystal structure revealed TDG (catalytic domain) bound to abasic DNA product in a 2:1 complex, one subunit at the abasic site and the ot...
متن کاملThymine DNA glycosylase specifically recognizes 5-carboxylcytosine-modified DNA
Human thymine DNA glycosylase (hTDG) efficiently excises 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC), a key oxidation product of 5-methylcytosine in genomic DNA, in a recently discovered cytosine demethylation pathway. We present here the crystal structures of the hTDG catalytic domain in complex with duplex DNA containing either 5caC or a fluorinated analog. These structures, together with biochemical and compu...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of a G:T/U Mismatch-Specific DNA Glycosylase Mismatch Recognition by Complementary-Strand Interactions
G:U mismatches resulting from deamination of cytosine are the most common promutagenic lesions occurring in DNA. Uracil is removed in a base-excision repair pathway by uracil DNA-glycosylase (UDG), which excises uracil from both single- and double-stranded DNA. Recently, a biochemically distinct family of DNA repair enzymes has been identified, which excises both uracil and thymine, but only fr...
