Abstract

Spore photoproduct (SP) lyase, which catalyzes the direct reversal of SP (5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine) to thymine monomers, is the only identified nonphotoactivatable pyrimidine dimer lyase. Unlike DNA photolyase, SP lyase does not contain a flavin cofactor and does not require light for activation. Instead, preliminary studies point to the presence of an iron-sulfur cluster in SP lyase and the requirement for S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) for catalytic activity, suggesting that SP lyase belongs to the growing group of iron-sulfur cluster and AdoMet-dependent radical enzymes. Here we provide evidence for the role of AdoMet as a reversible deoxyadenosyl radical generator, which initiates repair by hydrogen atom abstraction from C-6 of SP. Reaction of 6-(3)H-SP, but not methyl-(3)H-SP, with SP lyase and AdoMet results in transfer of (3)H to AdoMet, while no tritiated 5'-deoxyadenosine is observed. When 5'-tritiated AdoMet is used in the reaction with unlabeled SP, transfer of (3)H into the repaired thymine monomers is observed. These results point to the reversible generation of a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical intermediate, which reacts directly with the DNA lesion to initiate a radical-mediated beta-scission. We also demonstrate th...Continue Reading

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
