The action of DNA ligase at abasic sites in DNA.

Abstract

Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites occur frequently in DNA as a result of spontaneous base loss or following removal of a damaged base by a DNA glycosylase. The action of many AP endonuclease enzymes at abasic sites in DNA leaves a 5'-deoxyribose phosphate (dRP) residue that must be removed during the base excision repair process. This 5'-dRP group may be removed by AP lyase enzymes that employ a beta-elimination mechanism. This beta-elimination reaction typically involves a transient Schiff base intermediate that can react with sodium borohydride to trap the DNA-enzyme complex. With the use of this assay as well as direct 5'-dRP group release assays, we show that T4 DNA ligase, a representative ATP-dependent DNA ligase, contains AP lyase activity. The AP lyase activity of T4 DNA ligase is inhibited in the presence of ATP, suggesting that the adenylated lysine residue is part of the active site for both the ligase and lyase activities. A model is proposed whereby the AP lyase activity of DNA ligase may contribute to the repair of abasic sites in DNA.

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.
