Abstract

Repair of abasic lesions, one of the most common types of damage found in DNA, is crucial to an organism's well-being. Studies in vitro indicate that after apurinic-apyrimidinic endonuclease cleaves immediately upstream of a baseless site, removal of the 5'-terminal sugar-phosphate residue is achieved by deoxyribophosphodiesterase activity, an enzyme-mediated beta-elimination reaction, or by endonucleolytic cleavage downstream of the baseless sugar. Synthesis and ligation complete repair. Eukaryotic RAD2 homolog 1 (RTH1) nuclease, by genetic and biochemical evidence, is involved in repair of modified DNA. Efficient endonucleolytic cleavage by RTH1 nuclease has been demonstrated for annealed primers that have unannealed 5'-tails. In vivo, such substrate structures could result from repair-related strand displacement synthesis. Using 5'-tailed substrates, we examined the ability of human RTH1 nuclease to efficiently remove 5'-terminal abasic residues. A series of upstream primers were used to increasingly displace an otherwise annealed downstream primer containing a 5'-terminal deoxyribose-5-phosphate. Until displacement of the first annealed nucleotide, substrates resisted cleavage. With further displacement, efficient cleavage ...Continue Reading
