Structural evolution of a DNA repair self-resistance mechanism targeting genotoxic secondary metabolites

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Microbial DNA glycosylases associated with the biosynthesis of DNA-damaging antibiotics have evolved self-resistance for their cognate natural products.

A New Family of HEAT-Like Repeat Proteins Lacking a Critical Substrate Recognition Motif Present in Related DNA Glycosylases. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
DNA glycosylases are important repair enzymes that eliminate a diverse array of aberrant nucleobases from the genomes of all organisms. Individual bacterial species often contain multiple paralogs of a particular glycosylase, yet the molecular and ...

Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Anchored linear oligonucleotides: the effective tool for the real-time measurement of uracil DNA glycosylase activity

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2021
Base excision repair is one of the important DNA repair mechanisms in cells. The fundamental role in this complex process is played by DNA glycosylases.

DNA glycosylases: in DNA repair and beyond [PDF]

open access: yesChromosoma, 2011
The base excision repair machinery protects DNA in cells from the damaging effects of oxidation, alkylation, and deamination; it is specialized to fix single-base damage in the form of small chemical modifications. Base modifications can be mutagenic and/or cytotoxic, depending on how they interfere with the template function of the DNA during ...

Oxanine DNA Glycosylase Activity from Mammalian Alkyladenine Glycosylase [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Oxanine (Oxa) is a deaminated base lesion derived from guanine in which the N(1)-nitrogen is substituted by oxygen. This work reports the mutagenicity of oxanine as well as oxanine DNA glycosylase (ODG) activities in mammalian systems. Using human DNA polymerase beta, deoxyoxanosine triphosphate is only incorporated opposite cytosine (Cyt).

Male fertility in Arabidopsis requires active DNA demethylation of genes that control pollen tube function

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Active DNA demethylation is required for sexual reproduction in plants, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, the authors show that the DNA glycosylases DEMETER and REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 enable the DNA demethylation-dependent activation of ...

Non-flipping DNA glycosylase AlkD scans DNA without formation of a stable interrogation complex

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Ahmadi et al. use a single-molecule tracking method to describe the DNA scanning mode of AlkD, a HEAT-like repeat DNA glycosylase. They show that, contrary to other glycosylases that use a base-flipping mechanism, AlkD scans the DNA without forming a ...
