A model for 3-methyladenine recognition by 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I (TAG) from Staphylococcus aureus
The removal of chemically damaged DNA bases such as 3-methyladenine (3-MeA) is an essential process in all living organisms and is catalyzed by the enzyme 3-MeA DNA glycosylase I. A key question is how the enzyme selectively recognizes the alkylated 3-MeA over the much more abundant adenine. The crystal structures of native and Y16F-mutant 3-MeA DNA glycosylase I from Staphylococcus aureus in c...
متن کاملGlutaredoxin from Calf Thymus PURIFICATION
The protein glutaredoxin, required for GSH-dependent ribonucleotide reduction, has been purified to homogeneity from calf thymus. The preparative method consisted of ammonium sulfate precipitation and three chromatography steps on DEAEkellulose, Sephadex G-50, and CM-Sepharose. Calf thymus glutaredoxin was assayed on the basis of its inherent GSH-disulfide transhydrogenase activity. Glutaredoxi...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a type I DNA topoisomerase from calf thymus mitochondria.
A type I topoisomerase has been purified more than 4000-fold from calf thymus mitochondria. The enzyme is membrane associated and is effectively solubilized by 1% Triton X-100 treatment of purified mitochondrial inner membranes. This ATP-independent enzyme relaxes positively and negatively supercoiled DNA with delta LK = 1. At low ionic strength, the native enzyme appears to be a monomer (sedim...
متن کاملRelease of 3-methyladenine from linker and core DNA of chromatin by a purified DNA glycosylase.
Oligonucleosomes were isolated from [14C]thymidine-labeled HeLa cells by digestion of the nuclei with micrococcal nuclease and were then alkylated with [3H]methylnitrosourea. Nucleosome core particles were also prepared by further digestion of the oligonucleosomes. The distribution of 3H-labeled methyl groups in the linker versus the core DNA was established by a determination of 3H:14C ratios ...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Structure of a DNA Repair Enzyme, 3-Methyladenine DNA Glycosylase II, from Escherichia coli
The three-dimensional structure of Escherichia coli 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase II, which removes numerous alkylated bases from DNA, was solved at 2.3 A resolution. The enzyme consists of three domains: one alpha + beta fold domain with a similarity to one-half of the eukaryotic TATA box-binding protein, and two all alpha-helical domains similar to those of Escherichia coli endonuclease III...
