Abstract
If left unrepaired, the major oxidative DNA lesion 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (oxoG) promotes G-to-T transversions by favorably adopting a syn conformation and base pairing with dATP during replication. The human oxoG DNA glycosylase hOGG1 senses and removes oxoG amid millions-fold excess of guanine, thereby counteracting the genotoxic effects of the major oxidative damage. Crystal structures of hOGG1 in complex with oxoG-containing DNA have provided key insights into the lesion recognition and catalysis mechanisms of the enzyme. These lesion-recognition complex (LRC) structures typically involve a catalytically inactive hOGG1 mutant, where one of the catalytic-site amino acid residues is mutated to prevent the cleavage of oxoG. The use of a catalytically incompetent hOGG1 mutant has thus precluded understanding of unscathed interactions between oxoG and hOGG1 catalytic site as well as interactions among catalytic-site amino acid residues. As an orthogonal approach to visualize such interactions, we have co-crystallized a catalytically competent hOGG1 bound to 2’-fluoro-oxodG-containing DNA, a transition state-destabilizing inhibitor that binds hOGG1 but is not processed by the enzyme. In this fluorinated lesion-recognition complex (FLRC), the 8-oxo moiety of oxoG is recognized by Gly42 and the Watson-Crick edge of oxoG is contacted by Gln315 and Pro266. The previously observed salt bridge between Lys249 and Cys253 is lacking in the FLRC, suggesting Lys249 is primed by Cys253 and poised for nucleophilic attack on C1’ of oxodG. Overall, hOGG1 FLRC marks the first structure of oxoG presented into an intact catalytic site of hOGG1 and provides complementary insights into the glycosylase mechanisms of the enzyme.This publication has 53 references indexed in Scilit:
