Interaction of Murine Dnmt3a with DNA Containing O-Methylguanine
نویسندگان
چکیده
O-Methylguanine (OmeG) is one of the most toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic lesions caused by the interaction of DNA with several catabolism products as well as with environmental methylating agents. Carcinogenic impact of OmeG can be conditioned not only by its mutagenic properties but also by alteration in enzymatic methylation of the C5 carbon atom of cytosine residue in CpG sequences. In this study, the effect of OmeG on DNA methylation by the catalytic domain of murine DNA methyltransferase (MTase) Dnmt3a (Dnmt3a-CD) is assessed. Damaged DNA duplexes cooperatively bind with Dnmt3a-CD, and OmeG changes the stability of enzyme–substrate complexes. Kinetic analysis of the methylation reaction revealed that OmeG varies the ratio of productive and nonproductive enzyme–substrate complexes and, depending on localization in substrate, causes decrease or increase in DNA methylation. Dnmt3a-CD is less sensitive to the presence of OmeG in DNA substrate than procaryotic MTase SssI recognizing CpG. DOI: 10.1134/S0006297910020070

Human Cancer Biology MDM2 Overexpression Deregulates the Transcriptional Control of RB/E2F Leading to DNA Methyltransferase 3A Overexpression in Lung Cancer
Purpose: Overexpression of DNA 50-cytosine-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A), which silences genes including tumor suppressor genes (TSG), is involved inmany cancers. Therefore, we examined whether the transcriptional deregulation of RB/MDM2 pathway was responsible for DNMT3A overexpression and analyzed the therapeutic potential of MDM2 antagonist for reversing aberrant DNA methylation status in

متن کاملDNMT3A R882 mutants interact with polycomb proteins to block haematopoietic stem and leukaemic cell differentiation
Despite the clinical impact of DNMT3A mutation on acute myeloid leukaemia, the molecular mechanisms regarding how this mutation causes leukaemogenesis in vivo are largely unknown. Here we show that, in murine transplantation experiments, recipients transplanted with DNMT3A mutant-transduced cells exhibit aberrant haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) accumulation. Differentiation-associated genes are ...
متن کاملThe syntheses and properties of tricyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of S6-methylthioguanine and O6-methylguanine.
The syntheses of novel tricyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of S6-methylthioguanine are described. The crystal structures and pKa values of these and related O6-methylguanine analogues are reported. All compounds display higher pKa values than O6-methylguanine with the sulfur-containing analogues being the more basic and exhibiting higher stability in aqueous solution. In a standard sub...
متن کاملRole of the Dnmt3 family in de novo methylation of imprinted and repetitive sequences during male germ cell development in the mouse.
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification regulating various biological phenomena, including genomic imprinting and transposon silencing. It is known that methylation of the differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with paternally imprinted genes and of some repetitive elements occurs during male germ cell development in the mouse. We have performed a detailed methylati...
