More than 50% of colon cancer-associated mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene are C-->T transitions. The majority of them locate in CpG dinucleotides and are thought to have arisen through spontaneous hydrolytic deamination of 5-methylcytosine. This deamination process gives rise to G.T mispairs that need to be repaired to G.C in order to avoid C-

The enigmatic thymine DNA glycosylase
DNA Repair, 2007When it was first isolated from extracts of HeLa cells in Josef Jiricny's laboratory, the thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) attracted attention because of its ability to remove thymine, i.e. a normal DNA base, from G.T mispairs. This implicated a function of DNA base excision repair in the restoration of G.C base pairs following the deamination of a 5 ...

DNA glycosylase recognition and catalysis
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2004DNA glycosylases are the enzymes responsible for recognizing base lesions in the genome and initiating base excision DNA repair. Recent structural and biochemical results have provided novel insights into DNA damage recognition and repair. The basis of the recognition of the oxidative lesion 8-oxoguanine by two structurally unrelated DNA glycosylases ...

Processivity of uracil DNA glycosylase
Mutation Research/DNA Repair, 1993The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanism by which uracil DNA glycosylase locates uracil residues within double-stranded DNA. Using reaction conditions that contained low salt concentrations, the addition of uracil DNA glycosylase to plasmid DNAs containing multiple, randomly incorporated uracils resulted in the accumulation of form III ...

A new class of uracil-DNA glycosylases related to human thymine-DNA glycosylase
Nature, 1996Mispairs in DNA of guanine with uracil and thymine can arise as a result of deamination of cytosine and 5-methylcytosine, respectively. In humans such mispairs are removed by thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG). By deleting the carboxy and amino termini of this enzyme we have identified a core region capable of processing G/U but not G/T mispairs.

DNA Glycosylases in DNA Repair
1986The excision of potentially mutagenic and lethal lesions from DNA proceeds by one of two different routes. DNA damage which results in a major distortion of the DNA double-helix is generally recognized by a high-molecular weight nuclease that cuts two phosphodiester bonds in the altered strand, one on each side of the lesion.

Uracil-DNA Glycosylases and DNA Uracil Repair
1989Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the DNA uracil repair and uracil–DNA glycosylases (UDG). The major source of DNA uracil in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is transient incorporation of dUMP during replication. This replicative uracil is quickly repaired by UDG, apyramidinic/apurinic (AP) endonucleases, and other enzymes of excision repair ...

DNA N-glycosylases and UV repair
Nature, 1980Repair of some DNA photoproducts can be mediated by glycosylic bond hydrolysis. Thus, Escherichia coli endonuclease III releases 5,6-hydrated thymines as free bases, while T4 UV endonuclease releases one of two glycosylic bonds holding pyrimidine dimers in DNA. In contrast, uninfected E.

Structures and functions of DNA glycosylases
Mutation Research/DNA Repair, 1990Treatment of cells with a methylating agent, such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and Nmethyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), yields various methylated bases in DNA (Riazuddin and Lindahl, 1978). Organisms possess mechanisms to repair these methylated bases, which are potentially harmful to their genetic material.

Novel DNA glycosylases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2008Oxidized bases are removed from DNA of Escherichia coli by enzymes formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Eco-Fpg) and endonuclease VIII (Eco-Nei) of the same structural family Fpg/Nei. New homologs of these enzymes not characterized earlier have been found in genomes of Actinobacteria.
