Abstract
The repair of the endogenous lesions 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), uracil (U) and natural abasic site (AP site) was investigated using an in vitro base excision repair assay in which a plasmid substrate containing a single lesion at a defined position was repaired by mammalian cell extracts. Repair replication of an 8-oxoG/cytosine base pair performed by normal human cell extracts was ~5-fold less efficient than repair of a U/adenine base pair and, in turn, the latter was repaired ~10-fold less efficiently than an AP site placed in front of an adenine. A similar pattern of repair capacity for the three lesions was observed in Chinese hamster extracts. Repair of 8-oxoG was performed by the one nucleotide insertion pathway only. The lower repair replication ability of 8-oxoG with respect to U was linked to a lower DNA glycosylase (base removal) activity rather than to inability to process the β-elimination cleaved strand left by the AP lyase activity associated with human oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1. The data show that DNA repair of 8-oxoG is poor in human cells in comparison with other frequent endogenous lesions.Keywords
