Molecular cloning and functional analysis of a human cDNA encoding an Escherichia coli AlkB homolog, a protein involved in DNA alkylation damage repair.
The Escherichia coli AlkB protein is involved in protecting cells against mutation and cell death induced specifically by SN2-type alkylating agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). A human cDNA encoding a polypeptide homologous to E.coli AlkB was discovered by searching a database of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived from high throughput cDNA sequencing. The full-length human AlkB h...
متن کاملDirect repair of 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine by the human ALKBH2 dioxygenase is blocked by the AAG/MPG glycosylase.
Exocyclic ethenobases are highly mutagenic DNA lesions strongly implicated in inflammation and vinyl chloride-induced carcinogenesis. While the alkyladenine DNA glycosylase, AAG (or MPG), binds the etheno lesions 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (ɛA) and 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (ɛC) with high affinity, only ɛA can be excised to initiate base excision repair. Here, we discover that the human AlkB homolog 2 (A...
متن کاملEstimation of Significance of Alkb and Alka Proteins in Dna Repair in Escherichia Coli Model
The paper concerns estimation of significance of differences of mutagenesis level between the wild-type strain (wt) and its derivatives which differ in DNA repair ability, namely alkA and alkB strain, devoided AlkA glycosylase and AlkB dioxygenase activity, respectively. The strains were analyzed for their ability to repair 1,N-ethenoadenine (εA) – chloroacetaldehyde adduct to DNA. The analysis...
متن کاملLethal and mutagenic properties of MMS-generated DNA lesions in Escherichia coli cells deficient in BER and AlkB-directed DNA repair.
Methylmethane sulphonate (MMS), an S(N)2-type alkylating agent, generates DNA methylated bases exhibiting cytotoxic and mutagenic properties. Such damaged bases can be removed by a system of base excision repair (BER) and by oxidative DNA demethylation catalysed by AlkB protein. Here, we have shown that the lack of the BER system and functional AlkB dioxygenase results in (i) increased sensitiv...
متن کاملBacterial DNA repair genes and their eukaryotic homologues: 3. AlkB dioxygenase and Ada methyltransferase in the direct repair of alkylated DNA.
Environmental and endogenous alkylating agents generate cytotoxic and mutagenic lesions in DNA. Exposure of prokaryotic cells to sublethal doses of DNA alkylating agents induces so called adaptive response (Ada response) involving the expression of a set of genes which allows the cells to tolerate the toxic and mutagenic action of such agents. The Ada response includes the expression of four ge...
