Crystal structure and mutational analysis of human uracil-DNA glycosylase: Structural basis for specificity and catalysis
Crystal structures of the DNA repair enzyme human uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG), combined with mutational analysis, reveal the structural basis for the specificity of the enzyme. Within the classic alpha/beta fold of UDG, sequence-conserved residues form a positively charged, active-site groove the width of duplex DNA, at the C-terminal edge of the central four-stranded parallel beta sheet. In t...
متن کاملContext dependence between subdomains in the DNA binding interface of the I-CreI homing endonuclease
Homing endonucleases (HE) have emerged as precise tools for achieving gene targeting events. Redesigned HEs with tailored specificities can be used to cleave new sequences, thereby considerably expanding the number of targetable genes and loci. With HEs, as well as with other protein scaffolds, context dependence of DNA/protein interaction patterns remains one of the major limitations for ratio...
متن کاملProtein-DNA interactions at a dioxin-responsive enhancer. Mutational analysis of the DNA-binding site for the liganded Ah receptor.
The liganded Ah receptor activates transcription by binding to a specific DNA-recognition motif within a dioxin-responsive enhancer upstream of the CYP1A1 gene. Analyses of mutant enhancers by gel retardation reveal that each base pair within the domain 5'CGTG(GCAC)3' is essential to the receptor-enhancer interaction. The three base pairs immediately flanking each end of the essential domain co...
متن کاملAnti-DNA antibodies bind to DNase I
Polyspecificity is a well-known property of the anti-DNA antibodies produced by autoimmune animals. In our search for antigen targets of anti-DNA antibodies within tissue extracts, we identified a 32-kD polypeptide that was recognized by a large panel of anti-DNA antibodies. Direct sequencing of this protein disclosed its identity with DNase I. 22 monoclonal anti-DNA antibodies bound to DNase I...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the damage-recognition and catalytic mechanism of human SMUG1 DNA glycosylase.
Single-strand selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase (SMUG1), previously thought to be a backup enzyme for uracil-DNA glycosylase, has recently been shown to excise 5-hydroxyuracil (hoU), 5-hydroxymethyluracil (hmU) and 5-formyluracil (fU) bearing an oxidized group at ring C5 as well as an uracil. In the present study, we used site-directed mutagenesis to construct a series of mutants ...
