Uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor gene of bacteriophage PBS2 encodes a binding protein specific for uracil-DNA glycosylase.
The uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor gene (ugi) of the Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage PBS2 has been subcloned to a 720-base pair DNA fragment contained in pZW2-0.7 and its nucleotide sequence determined. Using nucleotide deletion analysis, we have located the cloned ugi gene along with potential regulatory elements. A promoter-like region (-10 and -35 consensus sequences) similar to other B. s...
متن کاملCrystal structure of mimivirus uracil-DNA glycosylase
Cytosine deamination induced by stresses or enzymatic catalysis converts deoxycytidine into deoxyuridine, thereby introducing a G to A mutation after DNA replication. Base-excision repair to correct uracil to cytosine is initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG), which recognizes and eliminates uracil from DNA. Mimivirus, one of the largest known viruses, also encodes a distinctive UDG gene con...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human uracil-DNA glycosylase in complex with a protein inhibitor: Protein mimicry of DNA
Uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor (Ugi) is a B. subtilis bacteriophage protein that protects the uracil-containing phage DNA by irreversibly inhibiting the key DNA repair enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG). The 1.9 A crystal structure of Ugi complexed to human UDG reveals that the Ugi structure, consisting of a twisted five-stranded antiparallel beta sheet and two alpha helices, binds by insert...
متن کاملUracil-DNA glycosylase as a probe for protein--DNA interactions.
The DNA repair enzyme Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) can be used to investigate three different features of protein-DNA interactions. Complexes can be probed by simple protection experiments ('footprinting') or by two kinds of interference assays: a missing thymine site (MT-site) experiment and a missing thymine methyl site (MTM-site) experiment. The three probing methods are assessed using the w...
متن کاملCrystal structure of Escherichia coli uracil DNA glycosylase and its complexes with uracil and glycerol: structure and glycosylase mechanism revisited.
The DNA repair enzyme uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) catalyzes the hydrolysis of premutagenic uracil residues from single-stranded or duplex DNA, producing free uracil and abasic DNA. Here we report the high-resolution crystal structures of free UDG from Escherichia coli strain B (1.60 A), its complex with uracil (1.50 A), and a second active-site complex with glycerol (1.43 A). These represent t...
