RecA stimulates AlkB-mediated direct repair of DNA adducts
The Escherichia coli AlkB protein is a 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent demethylase that repairs alkylated single stranded and double stranded DNA. Immunoaffinity chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry identified RecA, a key factor in homologous recombination, as an AlkB-associated protein. The interaction between AlkB and RecA was validated by yeast two-hybrid assay; size-exclusion chrom...
متن کاملThe cohesin-like RecN protein stimulates RecA-mediated recombinational repair of DNA double-strand breaks
RecN is a cohesin-like protein involved in DNA double-strand break repair in bacteria. The RecA recombinase functions to mediate repair via homologous DNA strand invasion to form D-loops. Here we provide evidence that the RecN protein stimulates the DNA strand invasion step of RecA-mediated recombinational DNA repair. The intermolecular DNA tethering activity of RecN protein described previousl...
متن کاملDirect repair of the exocyclic DNA adduct 1,N6-ethenoadenine by the DNA repair AlkB proteins.
The exocyclic DNA base adduct 1,N6-ethenoadenine (epsilonA) is directly repaired by the AlkB proteins in vitro.
متن کاملOxidative dealkylation DNA repair mediated by the mononuclear non-heme iron AlkB proteins.
DNA can be damaged by various intracellular and environmental alkylating agents to produce alkylation base lesions. These base damages, if not repaired promptly, may cause genetic changes that lead to diseases such as cancer. Recently, it was discovered that some of the alkylation DNA base damage can be directly removed by a family of proteins called the AlkB proteins that utilize a mononuclear...
متن کاملAberrant activity of the DNA repair enzyme AlkB.
Escherichia coli AlkB is a DNA/RNA repair enzyme containing a mononuclear Fe(II) site that couples the oxidative decomposition of alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) to the hydroxylation of 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine lesions in DNA or RNA, resulting in release of formaldehyde and restoration of the normal bases. In the presence of Fe(II), alphaKG, and oxygen, but the absence of methylated DN...
