Repair of oxidatively damaged guanine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by an alternative pathway

Abstract

Transversion mutations are caused by 8-oxoguanine (OG), a DNA lesion produced by the spontaneous oxidation of guanine nucleotides, which mis-pairs with adenine during replication. Resistance to this mutagenic threat is mediated by the GO system, the components of which are functionally conserved in bacteria and mammals. To date, only one of three GO system components has been identified in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, namely the OG:C-specific glycosylase/lyase yOgg1. Furthermore, S. cerevisiae has been reported to contain a unique glycosylase/lyase activity, yOgg2, which excises OG residues opposite adenines. Paradoxically, according to the currently accepted model, yOgg2 activity should increase the mutagenicity of OG lesions. Here we report the isolation of yOgg2 and the elucidation of its role in oxidative mutagenesis. Borohydride-dependent cross-linking using an OG-containing oligonucleotide substrate led to the isolation of yOgg1 and a second protein, Ntg1, which had previously been shown to process oxidized pyrimidines in DNA. We demonstrate that Ntg1 has OG-specific glycosylase/lyase activity indistinguishable from that of yOgg2. Targeted disruption of the NTG1 gene resulted in complete loss of yOgg2 activ...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.
