Abstract
Evidence is presented on two forms of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG1 and UDG2) that exist in human cells. We have developed an affinity technique to isolate uracil-DNA glycosylases from HeLa cells. This technique relies on the use of a uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor (Ugi) produced by the Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage, PBS2. Affinity-purified preparations of uracil-DNA glycosylase, derived from total HeLa cell extracts, reveal a group of bands in the 36,000 molecular weight range and a single 30,000 molecular weight band when analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver staining. In contrast, only the 30,000 molecular weight band is seen in HeLa mitochondrial preparations. Separation of HeLa cell nuclei from the postnuclear supernatant reveals that uracil-DNA glycosylase activity is evenly distributed between the nuclear compartment and the postnuclear components of the cell. Immunostaining of a nuclear extract with antisera to UDG1 indicates that the nuclear associated uracil-DNA glycosylase activity is not associated with the highly conserved uracil-DNA glycosylase, UDG1. With the use of Ugi-Sepharose affinity chromatography, we show that a second and distinct uracil-DNA glycosylase is associated with the nuclear compartment. Immunoblot ...Continue Reading
