Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is a critical genome defense pathway that copes with a broad range of DNA lesions induced by endogenous or exogenous genotoxic agents. AP endonucleases in the BER pathway are responsible for removing the damaged bases and nicking the abasic sites. In plants, the BER pathway plays a critical role in the active demethylation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA modification. Here, we have determined the crystal structures of Arabidopsis AP endonuclease AtARP in complex with the double-stranded DNA containing tetrahydrofuran (THF) that mimics the abasic site. We identified the critical residues in AtARP for binding and removing the abasic site and the unique residues for interacting with the orphan base. Additionally, we investigated the differences among the three plant AP endonucleases and evaluated the general DNA repair capacity of AtARP in a mammalian cell line. Our studies provide further mechanistic insights into the BER pathway in plants.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:4119-4132. [PMID: 38785521 PMCID: PMC11120029 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46050253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
8-oxoguanine (oxoG) is formed in DNA by the action of reactive oxygen species. As a highly mutagenic and the most common oxidative DNA lesion, it is an important marker of oxidative stress. Human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) is responsible for its prompt removal in human cells. OGG1 is a bifunctional DNA glycosylase with N-glycosylase and AP lyase activities. Aspects of the detailed mechanism underlying the recognition of 8-oxoguanine among numerous intact bases and its subsequent interaction with the enzyme's active site amino acid residues are still debated. The main objective of our work was to determine the effect (structural and thermodynamic) of introducing an oxoG-clamp in model DNA substrates on the process of 8-oxoG excision by OGG1. Towards that end, we used DNA duplexes modeling OGG1-specific lesions: 8-oxoguanine or an apurinic/apyrimidinic site with either cytidine or the oxoG-clamp in the complementary strand opposite to the lesion. It was revealed that there was neither hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond at oxoG nor cleavage of the sugar-phosphate backbone during the reaction between OGG1 and oxoG-clamp-containing duplexes. Possible structural reasons for the absence of OGG1 enzymatic activity were studied via the stopped-flow kinetic approach and molecular dynamics simulations. The base opposite the damage was found to have a critical effect on the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex and the initiation of DNA cleavage. The oxoG-clamp residue prevented the eversion of the oxoG base into the OGG1 active site pocket and impeded the correct convergence of the apurinic/apyrimidinic site of DNA and the attacking nucleophilic group of the enzyme. An obtained three-dimensional model of the OGG1 complex with DNA containing the oxoG-clamp, together with kinetic data, allowed us to clarify the role of the contact of amino acid residues with DNA in the formation of (and rearrangements in) the enzyme-substrate complex.

Abstract
Immunofluorescence imaging is a standard experimental tool for monitoring the response of cellular factors to DNA damage. Visualizing the recruitment of DNA Damage Response (DDR) components requires high affinity antibodies, which are generally available. In contrast, reagents for the display of the lesions that induce the response are far more limited. Consequently, DDR factor accumulation often serves as a surrogate for damage, without reporting the actual inducing structure. This limitation has practical implications given the importance of the response to DNA reactive drugs such as those used in cancer therapy. These include interstrand crosslink (ICL) forming compounds which are frequently employed clinically. Among them are the psoralens, natural products that form ICLs upon photoactivation and applied therapeutically since antiquity. However, despite multiple attempts, antibodies against psoralen ICLs have not been developed. To overcome this limitation, we developed a psoralen tagged with an antigen for which there are commercial antibodies. In this report we describe our application of the tagged psoralen in imaging experiments, and the unexpected discoveries they revealed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species damage DNA and result in health issues. The major damage product, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8oG), is repaired by human adenine DNA glycosylase homologue (MUTYH). Although MUTYH misfunction is associated with a genetic disorder called MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) and MUTYH is a potential target for cancer drugs, the catalytic mechanism required to develop disease treatments is debated in the literature. This study uses molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics techniques initiated from DNA-protein complexes that represent different stages of the repair pathway to map the catalytic mechanism of the wild-type MUTYH bacterial homologue (MutY). This multipronged computational approach characterizes a DNA-protein cross-linking mechanism that is consistent with all previous experimental data and is a distinct pathway across the broad class of monofunctional glycosylase repair enzymes. In addition to clarifying how the cross-link is formed, accommodated by the enzyme, and hydrolyzed for product release, our calculations rationalize why cross-link formation is favored over immediate glycosidic bond hydrolysis, the accepted mechanism for all other monofunctional DNA glycosylases to date. Calculations on the Y126F mutant MutY highlight critical roles for active site residues throughout the reaction, while investigation of the N146S mutant rationalizes the connection between the analogous N224S MUTYH mutation and MAP. In addition to furthering our knowledge of the chemistry associated with a devastating disorder, the structural information gained about the distinctive MutY mechanism compared to other repair enzymes represents an important step for the development of specific and potent small-molecule inhibitors as cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Active DNA demethylation plays a crucial role in eukaryotic gene imprinting and antagonizing DNA methylation. The plant-specific REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1/DEMETER (ROS1/DME) family of enzymes directly excise 5-methyl-cytosine (5mC), representing an efficient DNA demethylation pathway distinct from that of animals. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of an Arabidopsis ROS1 catalytic fragment in complex with substrate DNA, mismatch DNA and reaction intermediate, respectively. The substrate 5mC is flipped-out from the DNA duplex and subsequently recognized by the ROS1 base-binding pocket through hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions towards the 5-methyl group and Watson-Crick edge respectively, while the different protonation states of the bases determine the substrate preference for 5mC over T:G mismatch. Together with the structure of the reaction intermediate complex, our structural and biochemical studies revealed the molecular basis for substrate specificity, as well as the reaction mechanism underlying 5mC demethylation by the ROS1/DME family of plant-specific DNA demethylases.

Abstract
Human NEIL2 DNA glycosylase (hNEIL2) is a base excision repair protein that removes oxidative lesions from DNA. A distinctive feature of hNEIL2 is its preference for the lesions in bubbles and other non-canonical DNA structures. Although a number of associations of polymorphisms in the hNEIL2 gene were reported, there is little data on the functionality of the encoded protein variants, as follows: only hNEIL2 R103Q was described as unaffected, and R257L, as less proficient in supporting the repair in a reconstituted system. Here, we report the biochemical characterization of two hNEIL2 variants found as polymorphisms in the general population, R103W and P304T. Arg103 is located in a long disordered segment within the N-terminal domain of hNEIL2, while Pro304 occupies a position in the β-turn of the DNA-binding zinc finger motif. Similar to the wild-type protein, both of the variants could catalyze base excision and nick DNA by β-elimination but demonstrated a lower affinity for DNA. Steady-state kinetics indicates that the P304T variant has its catalytic efficiency (in terms of kcat/KM) reduced ~5-fold compared with the wild-type hNEIL2, whereas the R103W enzyme is much less affected. The P304T variant was also less proficient than the wild-type, or R103W hNEIL2, in the removal of damaged bases from single-stranded and bubble-containing DNA. Overall, hNEIL2 P304T could be worthy of a detailed epidemiological analysis as a possible cancer risk modifier.

Abstract
Endonuclease III (EndoIII), which is ubiquitous in bacteria, Archaea and eukaryotes, plays an important role in excising thymine glycol (Tg) from DNA. Herein, we present evidence that an EndoIII from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus REY15A (Sis-EndoIII) is capable of removing Tg from DNA at high temperature. Biochemical data show that the optimal temperature and pH of Sis-EndoIII are ca.70 °C and ca.7.0-8.0, respectively. Furthermore, the recombinant Sis-EndoIII retains relative weak activity without a divalent metal ion, and displays maximum activity in the presence of Mg2+ or Ca2+. Additionally, we first revealed the activation energy (Ea) of 39.7 ± 4.2 kcal/mol for Sis-EndoIII to remove Tg from dsDNA. As a bifunctional glycosylase, Sis-EndoIII possesses AP lyase activity in addition to glycosylase activity. Additionally, a covalent intermediate is formed between Sis-EndoIII and Tg-containing dsDNA. Mutational studies demonstrate that residues D50, K133 and D151 in Sis-EndoIII are responsible for removal of Tg from dsDNA and K133 and D151 are essential for formation of the covalent intermediate. To our knowledge, it is the first report of Tg excision by crenarchaeal EndoIII, thus augmenting our understanding on archaeal EndoIII function.

Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases Nfo (Escherichia coli) and APE1 (human) represent two conserved structural families of enzymes that cleave AP-site-containing DNA in base excision repair. Nfo and APE1 have completely different structures of the DNA-binding site, catalytically active amino acid residues and catalytic metal ions. Nonetheless, both enzymes induce DNA bending, AP-site backbone eversion into the active-site pocket and extrusion of the nucleotide located opposite the damage. All these stages may depend on local stability of the DNA duplex near the lesion. Here, we analysed effects of natural nucleotides located opposite a lesion on catalytic-complex formation stages and DNA cleavage efficacy. Several model DNA substrates that contain an AP-site analogue [F-site, i.e., (2R,3S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran] opposite G, A, T or C were used to monitor real-time conformational changes of the tested enzymes during interaction with DNA using changes in the enzymes' intrinsic fluorescence intensity mainly caused by Trp fluorescence. The extrusion of the nucleotide located opposite F-site was recorded via fluorescence intensity changes of two base analogues. The catalytic rate constant slightly depended on the opposite-nucleotide nature. Thus, structurally different AP endonucleases Nfo and APE1 utilise a common strategy of damage recognition controlled by enzyme conformational transitions after initial DNA binding.

Abstract
Endonuclease III (EndoIII) is nearly ubiquitous in all three domains of life. EndoIII family proteins exhibit a bifunctional (glycosylase/lyase) activity on oxidative/saturated pyrimidine bases, such as thymine glycol. Previous studies on EndoIII homologs have reported the presence of important residues involved in substrate binding and catalytic activity. However, a biochemical clarification of the roles of these residues as well as details of their evolutionary conservation is still lacking. This is particularly true for archaeal orthologs. The current study demonstrated the roles of the evolutionarily conserved residues of euryarchaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis EndoIII (TkoEndoIII). We utilized amino acid sequence analysis and homology modeling to identify highly conserved regions with potential key residues in the EndoIII proteins. Using Ala-substituted TkoEndoIII mutant proteins, residues of interest were quantitatively examined via DNA binding, glycosylase/AP lyase/bifunctional activity, and DNA trapping assays. The obtained results allowed us to determine the roles, as well as the significance of these roles in Schiff base formation (Lys140 as a nucleophile and Asp158), Tg recognition (His160), substrate binding (Arg59, Leu101, Trp102, and Gly136), β-elimination activities (Ser57 and Asp62), and [4Fe-4S] cluster formation (Cys208 and Cys215). Interestingly, a critical role played by the highly conserved Lys105 (predicted as being away from the catalytic site) in substrate binding, accompanied by a significant indirect effect on catalytic activity, were detected. Our results suggest that these particular residues play conserved roles among EndoIII orthologs across the domains. In addition to identifying the critical role of the highly conserved Lys105, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the functions attributable to the evolutionarily conserved residues found in the EndoIII family, from Escherichia coli to humans.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species drive the oxidation of guanine to 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG), which threatens genome integrity. The repair of 8oxoG is carried out by base excision repair enzymes in Bacteria and Eukarya, however, little is known about archaeal 8oxoG repair. This study identifies a member of the Ogg-subfamily archaeal GO glycosylase (AGOG) in Thermococcus kodakarensis, an anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon, and delineates its mechanism, kinetics, and substrate specificity. TkoAGOG is the major 8oxoG glycosylase in T. kodakarensis, but is non-essential. In addition to TkoAGOG, the major apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease (TkoEndoIV) required for archaeal base excision repair and cell viability was identified and characterized. Enzymes required for the archaeal oxidative damage base excision repair pathway were identified and the complete pathway was reconstituted. This study illustrates the conservation of oxidative damage repair across all Domains of life.

Shining light on the response to repair intermediates in DNA of living cells. DNA Repair (Amst) 2019; 85:102749.

Abstract
Fluorescently-tagged repair proteins have been widely used to probe recruitment to micro-irradiation-induced nuclear DNA damage in living cells. Here, we quantify APE1 dynamics after micro-irradiation. Markers of DNA damage are characterized and UV-A laser micro-irradiation energy conditions are selected for formation of oxidatively-induced DNA base damage and single strand breaks, but without detectable double strand breaks. Increased energy of laser micro-irradiation, compared with that used previously in our work, enables study of APE1 dynamics at the lesion site. APE1 shows rapid transient kinetics, with recruitment half-time of less than 1 s and dissociation half-time of less than 15 s. In cells co-transfected with APE1 and PARP1, the recruitment half-time of PARP1 was slower than that of APE1, indicating APE1 is a rapid responder to the damage site. While recruitment of APE1 is unchanged in the presence of co-transfected PARP1, APE1 dissociation is 3-fold slower, revealing PARP1 involvement in APE1 dynamics. Further, we find that APE1 dissociation kinetics are strongly modified in the absence of DNA polymerase β (pol β). After unchanged recruitment to the damage site, dissociation of APE1 became undetectable. This indicates a necessary role for pol β in APE1 release after its recruitment to the damage site. These observations represent an advance in our understanding of in vivo dynamics of base excision repair factors APE1, PARP1 and pol β.

Abstract
Methylation of cytosine (5-meC) is a critical epigenetic modification in many eukaryotes, and genomic DNA methylation landscapes are dynamically regulated by opposed methylation and demethylation processes. Plants are unique in possessing a mechanism for active DNA demethylation involving DNA glycosylases that excise 5-meC and initiate its replacement with unmodified C through a base excision repair (BER) pathway. Plant BER-mediated DNA demethylation is a complex process involving numerous proteins, as well as additional regulatory factors that avoid accumulation of potentially harmful intermediates and coordinate demethylation and methylation to maintain balanced yet flexible DNA methylation patterns. Active DNA demethylation counteracts excessive methylation at transposable elements (TEs), mainly in euchromatic regions, and one of its major functions is to avoid methylation spreading to nearby genes. It is also involved in transcriptional activation of TEs and TE-derived sequences in companion cells of male and female gametophytes, which reinforces transposon silencing in gametes and also contributes to gene imprinting in the endosperm. Plant 5-meC DNA glycosylases are additionally involved in many other physiological processes, including seed development and germination, fruit ripening, and plant responses to a variety of biotic and abiotic environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a trimeric ring-shaped clamp protein that encircles DNA and interacts with many proteins involved in DNA replication and repair. Despite extensive structural work to characterize the monomeric, dimeric, and trimeric forms of PCNA alone and in complex with interacting proteins, no structure of PCNA in a ring-open conformation has been published. Here, we use a multidisciplinary approach, including single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET), native ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS), and structure-based computational modeling, to explore the conformational dynamics of a model PCNA from Sulfolobus solfataricus (Sso), an archaeon. We found that Sso PCNA samples ring-open and ring-closed conformations even in the absence of its clamp loader complex, replication factor C, and transition to the ring-open conformation is modulated by the ionic strength of the solution. The IM-MS results corroborate the smFRET findings suggesting that PCNA dynamics are maintained in the gas phase and further establishing IM-MS as a reliable strategy to investigate macromolecular motions. Our molecular dynamic simulations agree with the experimental data and reveal that ring-open PCNA often adopts an out-of-plane left-hand geometry. Collectively, these results implore future studies to define the roles of PCNA dynamics in DNA loading and other PCNA-mediated interactions.

Abstract
Endonuclease III (Endo III or Nth) is one of the key enzymes responsible for initiating the base excision repair of oxidized or reduced pyrimidine bases in DNA. In this study, a thermodynamic analysis of structural rearrangements of the specific and nonspecific DNA-duplexes during their interaction with Endo III is performed based on stopped-flow kinetic data. 1,3-diaza-2-oxophenoxazine (tCO), a fluorescent analog of the natural nucleobase cytosine, is used to record multistep DNA binding and lesion recognition within a temperature range (5-37 °C). Standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the specific steps are derived from kinetic data using Van't Hoff plots. The data suggest that enthalpy-driven exothermic 5,6-dihydrouracil (DHU) recognition and desolvation-accompanied entropy-driven adjustment of the enzyme-substrate complex into a catalytically active state play equally important parts in the overall process. The roles of catalytically significant amino acids Lys120 and Asp138 in the DNA lesion recognition and catalysis are identified. Lys120 participates not only in the catalytic steps but also in the processes of local duplex distortion, whereas substitution Asp138Ala leads to a complete loss of the ability of Endo III to distort a DNA double chain during enzyme-DNA complex formation.

Abstract
The base excision repair (BER) pathway consists of sequential action of DNA glycosylase and apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease necessary to remove a damaged base and generate a single-strand break in duplex DNA. Human multifunctional AP endonuclease 1 (APE1, a.k.a. APEX1, HAP-1, or Ref-1) plays essential roles in BER by acting downstream of DNA glycosylases to incise a DNA duplex at AP sites and remove 3'-blocking sugar moieties at DNA strand breaks. Human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1), methyl-CpG-binding domain 4 (MBD4, a.k.a. MED1), and alkyl-N-purine-DNA glycosylase (ANPG, a.k.a. Aag or MPG) excise a variety of damaged bases from DNA. Here we demonstrated that the redox-deficient truncated APE1 protein lacking the first N-terminal 61 amino acid residues (APE1-NΔ61) cannot stimulate DNA glycosylase activities of OGG1, MBD4, and ANPG on duplex DNA substrates. Electron microscopy imaging of APE1-DNA complexes revealed oligomerization of APE1 along the DNA duplex and APE1-mediated DNA bridging followed by DNA aggregation. APE1 polymerizes on both undamaged and damaged DNA in cooperative mode. Association of APE1 with undamaged DNA may enable scanning for damage; however, this event reduces effective concentration of the enzyme and subsequently decreases APE1-catalyzed cleavage rates on long DNA substrates. We propose that APE1 oligomers on DNA induce helix distortions thereby enhancing molecular recognition of DNA lesions by DNA glycosylases via a conformational proofreading/selection mechanism. Thus, APE1-mediated structural deformations of the DNA helix stabilize the enzyme-substrate complex and promote dissociation of human DNA glycosylases from the AP site with a subsequent increase in their turnover rate. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The major human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APE1, stimulates DNA glycosylases by increasing their turnover rate on duplex DNA substrates. At present, the mechanism of the stimulation remains unclear. We report that the redox domain of APE1 is necessary for the active mode of stimulation of DNA glycosylases. Electron microscopy revealed that full-length APE1 oligomerizes on DNA possibly via cooperative binding to DNA. Consequently, APE1 shows DNA length dependence with preferential repair of short DNA duplexes. We propose that APE1-catalyzed oligomerization along DNA induces helix distortions, which in turn enable conformational selection and stimulation of DNA glycosylases. This new biochemical property of APE1 sheds light on the mechanism of redox function and its role in DNA repair.

Abstract
The excision of 8-oxoguanine (oxoG) by the human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) base-excision repair enzyme was studied by using the QM/MM (M06-2X/6-31G(d,p):OPLS2005) calculation method and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The calculated glycosylase reaction included excision of the oxoG base, formation of Lys249-ribose enzyme–substrate covalent adduct and formation of a Schiff base. The formation of a Schiff base with ΔG# = 17.7 kcal/mol was the rate-limiting step of the reaction. The excision of the oxoG base with ΔG# = 16.1 kcal/mol proceeded via substitution of the C1΄-N9 N-glycosidic bond with an H-N9 bond where the negative charge on the oxoG base and the positive charge on the ribose were compensated in a concerted manner by NH3+(Lys249) and CO2−(Asp268), respectively. The effect of Asp268 on the oxoG excision was demonstrated with 1H NMR for WT hOGG1 and the hOGG1(D268N) mutant: the excision of oxoG was notably suppressed when Asp268 was mutated to Asn. The loss of the base-excision function was rationalized with QM/MM calculations and Asp268 was confirmed as the electrostatic stabilizer of ribose oxocarbenium through the initial base-excision step of DNA repair. The NMR experiments and QM/MM calculations consistently illustrated the base-excision reaction operated by hOGG1.

Abstract
In cellular organisms composition of DNA is constrained to only four nucleobases A, G, T and C, except for minor DNA base modifications such as methylation which serves for defence against foreign DNA or gene expression regulation. Interestingly, this severe evolutionary constraint among other things demands DNA repair systems to discriminate between regular and modified bases. DNA glycosylases specifically recognize and excise damaged bases among vast majority of regular bases in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. However, the mismatched base pairs in DNA can occur from a spontaneous conversion of 5-methylcytosine to thymine and DNA polymerase errors during replication. To counteract these mutagenic threats to genome stability, cells evolved special DNA repair systems that target the non-damaged DNA strand in a duplex to remove mismatched regular DNA bases. Mismatch-specific adenine- and thymine-DNA glycosylases (MutY/MUTYH and TDG/MBD4, respectively) initiated BER and mismatch repair (MMR) pathways can recognize and remove normal DNA bases in mismatched DNA duplexes. Importantly, in DNA repair deficient cells bacterial MutY, human TDG and mammalian MMR can act in the aberrant manner: MutY and TDG removes adenine and thymine opposite misincorporated 8-oxoguanine and damaged adenine, respectively, whereas MMR removes thymine opposite to O6-methylguanine. These unusual activities lead either to mutations or futile DNA repair, thus indicating that the DNA repair pathways which target non-damaged DNA strand can act in aberrant manner and introduce genome instability in the presence of unrepaired DNA lesions. Evidences accumulated showing that in addition to the accumulation of oxidatively damaged DNA in cells, the aberrant DNA repair can also contribute to cancer, brain disorders and premature senescence. For example, the aberrant BER and MMR pathways for oxidized guanine residues can lead to trinucleotide expansion that underlies Huntington's disease, a severe hereditary neurodegenerative syndrome. This review summarises the present knowledge about the aberrant DNA repair pathways for oxidized base modifications and their possible role in age-related diseases.

Abstract
Endogenous and exogenous reactive species cause oxidatively induced DNA damage in living organisms by a variety of mechanisms. As a result, a plethora of mutagenic and/or cytotoxic products are formed in cellular DNA. This type of DNA damage is repaired by base excision repair, although nucleotide excision repair also plays a limited role. DNA glycosylases remove modified DNA bases from DNA by hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond leaving behind an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site. Some of them also possess an accompanying AP-lyase activity that cleaves the sugar-phosphate chain of DNA. Since the first discovery of a DNA glycosylase, many studies have elucidated the mechanisms of action, substrate specificities and excision kinetics of these enzymes present in all living organisms. For this purpose, most studies used single- or double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides with a single DNA lesion embedded at a defined position. High-molecular weight DNA with multiple base lesions has been used in other studies with the advantage of the simultaneous investigation of many DNA base lesions as substrates. Differences between the substrate specificities and excision kinetics of DNA glycosylases have been found when these two different substrates were used. Some DNA glycosylases possess varying substrate specificities for either purine-derived lesions or pyrimidine-derived lesions, whereas others exhibit cross-activity for both types of lesions. Laboratory animals with knockouts of the genes of DNA glycosylases have also been used to provide unequivocal evidence for the substrates, which had previously been found in in vitro studies, to be the actual substrates in vivo as well. On the basis of the knowledge gained from the past studies, efforts are being made to discover small molecule inhibitors of DNA glycosylases that may be used as potential drugs in cancer therapy.

Catalysts of DNA Strand Cleavage at Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Sites. Sci Rep 2016; 6:28894.

Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are constantly formed in cellular DNA due to instability of the glycosidic bond, particularly at purines and various oxidized, alkylated, or otherwise damaged nucleobases. AP sites are also generated by DNA glycosylases that initiate DNA base excision repair. These lesions represent a significant block to DNA replication and are extremely mutagenic. Some DNA glycosylases possess AP lyase activities that nick the DNA strand at the deoxyribose moiety via a β- or β,δ-elimination reaction. Various amines can incise AP sites via a similar mechanism, but this non-enzymatic cleavage typically requires high reagent concentrations. Herein, we describe a new class of small molecules that function at low micromolar concentrations as both β- and β,δ-elimination catalysts at AP sites. Structure-activity relationships have established several characteristics that appear to be necessary for the formation of an iminium ion intermediate that self-catalyzes the elimination at the deoxyribose ring.

Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas’ disease, presents three cellular forms (trypomastigotes, epimastigotes and amastigotes), all of which are submitted to oxidative species in its hosts. However, T. cruzi is able to resist oxidative stress suggesting a high efficiency of its DNA repair machinery.The Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway is one of the main DNA repair mechanisms in other eukaryotes and in T. cruzi as well. DNA glycosylases are enzymes involved in the recognition of oxidative DNA damage and in the removal of oxidized bases, constituting the first step of the BER pathway. Here, we describe the presence and activity of TcNTH1, a nuclear T. cruzi DNA glycosylase. Surprisingly, purified recombinant TcNTH1 does not remove the thymine glycol base, but catalyzes the cleavage of a probe showing an AP site. The same activity was found in epimastigote and trypomastigote homogenates suggesting that the BER pathway is not involved in thymine glycol DNA repair. TcNTH1 DNA-binding properties assayed in silico are in agreement with the absence of a thymine glycol removing function of that parasite enzyme. Over expression of TcNTH1 decrease parasite viability when transfected epimastigotes are submitted to a sustained production of H2O2.Therefore, TcNTH1 is the only known NTH1 orthologous unable to eliminate thymine glycol derivatives but that recognizes and cuts an AP site, most probably by a beta-elimination mechanism. We cannot discard that TcNTH1 presents DNA glycosylase activity on other DNA base lesions. Accordingly, a different DNA repair mechanism should be expected leading to eliminate thymine glycol from oxidized parasite DNA. Furthermore, TcNTH1 may play a role in the AP site recognition and processing.

Abstract
Restriction-modification systems consist of genes that encode a restriction enzyme and a cognate methyltransferase. Thus far, it was believed that restriction enzymes are sequence-specific endonucleases that introduce double-strand breaks at specific sites by catalysing the cleavages of phosphodiester bonds. Here we report that based on the crystal structure and enzymatic activity, one of the restriction enzymes, R.PabI, is not an endonuclease but a sequence-specific adenine DNA glycosylase. The structure of the R.PabI-DNA complex shows that R.PabI unwinds DNA at a 5'-GTAC-3' site and flips the guanine and adenine bases out of the DNA helix to recognize the sequence. R.PabI catalyses the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond between the adenine base and the sugar in the DNA and produces two opposing apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites. The opposing AP sites are cleaved by heat-promoted β elimination and/or by endogenous AP endonucleases of host cells to introduce a double-strand break.

Abstract
In contrast to proteins recognizing small-molecule ligands, DNA-dependent enzymes cannot rely solely on interactions in the substrate-binding centre to achieve their exquisite specificity. It is widely believed that substrate recognition by such enzymes involves a series of conformational changes in the enzyme-DNA complex with sequential gates favoring cognate DNA and rejecting nonsubstrates. However, direct evidence for such mechanism is limited to a few systems. We report that discrimination between the oxidative DNA lesion, 8-oxoguanine (oxoG) and its normal counterpart, guanine, by the repair enzyme, formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg), likely involves multiple gates. Fpg uses an aromatic wedge to open the Watson-Crick base pair and everts the lesion into its active site. We used molecular dynamics simulations to explore the eversion free energy landscapes of oxoG and G by Fpg, focusing on structural and energetic details of oxoG recognition. The resulting energy profiles, supported by biochemical analysis of site-directed mutants disturbing the interactions along the proposed path, show that Fpg selectively facilitates eversion of oxoG by stabilizing several intermediate states, helping the rapidly sliding enzyme avoid full extrusion of every encountered base for interrogation. Lesion recognition through multiple gating intermediates may be a common theme in DNA repair enzymes.

Abstract
N-Methylpurines (NMPs), including N(7)-methylguanine (7MeG) and N(3)-methyladenine (3MeA), can be induced by environmental methylating agents, chemotherapeutics, and natural cellular methyl donors. In human cells, NMPs are repaired by the multi-step base excision repair pathway initiated by human alkyladenine glycosylase. Repair of NMPs has been shown to be affected by DNA sequence contexts. However, the nature of the sequence contexts has been poorly understood. We developed a sensitive method, LAF-Seq (Lesion-Adjoining Fragment Sequencing), which allows nucleotide-resolution digital mapping of DNA damage and repair in multiple genomic fragments of interest in human cells. We also developed a strategy that allows accurate measurement of the excision kinetics of NMP bases in vitro. We demonstrate that 3MeAs are induced to a much lower level by the SN2 methylating agent dimethyl sulfate and repaired much faster than 7MeGs in human fibroblasts. Induction of 7MeGs by dimethyl sulfate is affected by nearest-neighbor nucleotides, being enhanced at sites neighbored by a G or T on the 3' side, but impaired at sites neighbored by a G on the 5' side. Repair of 7MeGs is also affected by nearest-neighbor nucleotides, being slow if the lesions are between purines, especially Gs, and fast if the lesions are between pyrimidines, especially Ts. Excision of 7MeG bases from the DNA backbone by human alkyladenine glycosylase in vitro is similarly affected by nearest-neighbor nucleotides, suggesting that the effect of nearest-neighbor nucleotides on repair of 7MeGs in the cells is primarily achieved by modulating the initial step of the base excision repair process.

Abstract
Escherichia coli endonuclease III (Endo III or Nth) is a DNA glycosylase with a broad substrate specificity for oxidized or reduced pyrimidine bases. Endo III possesses two types of activities: N-glycosylase (hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond) and AP lyase (elimination of the 3'-phosphate of the AP-site). We report a pre-steady-state kinetic analysis of structural rearrangements of the DNA substrates and uncleavable ligands during their interaction with Endo III. Oligonucleotide duplexes containing 5,6-dihydrouracil, a natural abasic site, its tetrahydrofuran analog, and undamaged duplexes carried fluorescent DNA base analogs 2-aminopurine and 1,3-diaza-2-oxophenoxazine as environment-sensitive reporter groups. The results suggest that Endo III induces several fast sequential conformational changes in DNA during binding, lesion recognition, and adjustment to a catalytically competent conformation. A comparison of two fluorophores allowed us to distinguish between the events occurring in the damaged and undamaged DNA strand. Combining our data with the available structures of Endo III, we conclude that this glycosylase uses a multistep mechanism of damage recognition, which likely involves Gln(41) and Leu(81) as DNA lesion sensors.

Abstract
Uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDGs) are evolutionarily conserved DNA repair enzymes that initiate the base excision repair pathway and remove uracil from DNA. The UDG superfamily is classified into six families based on their substrate specificity. This review focuses on the family I enzymes since these are the most extensively studied members of the superfamily. The structural basis for substrate specificity and base recognition as well as for DNA binding, nucleotide flipping and catalytic mechanism is discussed in detail. Other topics include the mechanism of lesion search and molecular mimicry through interaction with uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitors. The latest studies and findings detailing structure and function in the UDG superfamily are presented.

Abstract
Thymine glycol (Tg), a toxic oxidative DNA lesion, is preferentially removed by endonuclease III (Endo III). To investigate the glycosylase activity of Endo III, the N--glycoside transfer mechanism in deoxythymidine glycol (dTg) is examined in this theoretical study based on the BHandHLYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Two controversial mechanisms were characterized, i.e., the displacement and endocyclic mechanisms. For each mechanism, three types of reaction models were established, including the direct reaction, local microhydration and protonated models. The calculated results indicate that (i) all three reaction models favor the displacement mechanism more than the endocyclic mechanism; (ii) the local microhydration model allows for discrete proton transfer and contributes to the reduction of activation energies, nevertheless, large activation energies are still involved; (iii) the O4'-protonated endocyclic model can efficiently promote the nucleophilic attack of lysine residue and an amino acid residue other than the nucleophilic lysine should be responsible for the opening of the sugar ring; (iv) the O2-protonated displacement model facilitates the leaving group (Tg) stabilization and therefore is the preferred mechanism for the N--glycoside transfer of dTg, whose activation energy of 17.7 kcal mol⁻¹ is in good agreement with the experimental estimate of 19.0 kcal mol⁻¹. As a result, the protonation of nucleobase plays a significant role in predicting the preferred glycosylase mechanism. Our findings can propose appropriate mechanisms for future large-scale enzymatic modeling of Endo III and provide more fundamental information about the important residues that may be included in the enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, mainly UV-B (280-315 nm), is one of the most potent genotoxic agents that adversely affects living organisms by altering their genomic stability. DNA through its nucleobases has absorption maxima in the UV region and is therefore the main target of the deleterious radiation. The main biological relevance of UV radiation lies in the formation of several cytotoxic and mutagenic DNA lesions such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PPs), and their Dewar valence isomers (DEWs), as well as DNA strand breaks. However, to counteract these DNA lesions, organisms have developed a number of highly conserved repair mechanisms such as photoreactivation, excision repair, and mismatch repair (MMR). Photoreactivation involving the enzyme photolyase is the most frequently used repair mechanism in a number of organisms. Excision repair can be classified as base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) involving a number of glycosylases and polymerases, respectively. In addition to this, double-strand break repair, SOS response, cell-cycle checkpoints, and programmed cell death (apoptosis) are also operative in various organisms to ensure genomic stability. This review concentrates on the UV-induced DNA damage and the associated repair mechanisms as well as various damage detection methods.

Abstract
Cellular DNA is constantly challenged by various endogenous and exogenous genotoxic factors that inevitably lead to DNA damage: structural and chemical modifications of primary DNA sequence. These DNA lesions are either cytotoxic, because they block DNA replication and transcription, or mutagenic due to the miscoding nature of the DNA modifications, or both, and are believed to contribute to cell lethality and mutagenesis. Studies on DNA repair in Escherichia coli spearheaded formulation of principal strategies to counteract DNA damage and mutagenesis, such as: direct lesion reversal, DNA excision repair, mismatch and recombinational repair and genotoxic stress signalling pathways. These DNA repair pathways are universal among cellular organisms. Mechanistic principles used for each repair strategies are fundamentally different. Direct lesion reversal removes DNA damage without need for excision and de novo DNA synthesis, whereas DNA excision repair that includes pathways such as base excision, nucleotide excision, alternative excision and mismatch repair, proceeds through phosphodiester bond breakage, de novo DNA synthesis and ligation. Cell signalling systems, such as adaptive and oxidative stress responses, although not DNA repair pathways per se, are nevertheless essential to counteract DNA damage and mutagenesis. The present review focuses on the nature of DNA damage, direct lesion reversal, DNA excision repair pathways and adaptive and oxidative stress responses in E. coli.

Abstract
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is one of the most common oxidative base lesions in normal tissues induced by a variety of endogenous and exogenous agents. Hydantoins are products of 8-oxoG oxidation and as 8-oxoG, they have been shown to be mutagenic lesions. Oxidative DNA damage has been implicated in the etiology of various age-associated pathologies, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, and several neurodegenerative diseases. The mammalian endonuclease VIII-like 3 (Neil3) is one of the four DNA glycosylases found to recognize and remove hydantoins in the first step of base excision repair (BER) pathway. We have generated mice lacking Neil3 and by using total cell extracts we demonstrate that Neil3 is the main DNA glycosylase that incises hydantoins in single stranded DNA in tissues. Using the neurosphere culture system as a model to study neural stem/progenitor (NSPC) cells we found that lack of Neil3 impaired self renewal but did not affect differentiation capacity. Proliferation was also reduced in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from Neil3(-/-) embryos and these cells were sensitive to both the oxidative toxicant paraquat and interstrand cross-link (ICL)-inducing agent cisplatin. Our data support the involvement of Neil3 in removal of replication blocks in proliferating cells.

Abstract
Allergic airway inflammation is characterized by increased expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, inflammatory cell infiltration, mucus hypersecretion, and airway hyperresponsiveness, in parallel with oxidative DNA base and strand damage, whose etiological role is not understood. Our goal was to establish the role of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), a common oxidatively damaged base, and its repair by 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (Ogg1) in allergic airway inflammatory processes. Airway inflammation was induced by intranasally administered ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) pollen grain extract (RWPE) in sensitized BALB/c mice. We utilized siRNA technology to deplete Ogg1 from airway epithelium; 8-oxoG and DNA strand break levels were quantified by Comet assays. Inflammatory cell infiltration and epithelial methaplasia were determined histologically, mucus and cytokines levels biochemically and enhanced pause was used as the main index of airway hyperresponsiveness. Decreased Ogg1 expression and thereby 8-oxoG repair in the airway epithelium conveyed a lower inflammatory response after RWPE challenge of sensitized mice, as determined by expression of Th2 cytokines, eosinophilia, epithelial methaplasia, and airway hyperresponsiveness. In contrast, 8-oxoG repair in Ogg1-proficient airway epithelium was coupled to an increase in DNA single-strand break (SSB) levels and exacerbation of allergen challenge-dependent inflammation. Decreased expression of the Nei-like glycosylases Neil1 and Neil2 that preferentially excise ring-opened purines and 5-hydroxyuracil, respectively, did not alter the above parameters of allergic immune responses to RWPE. These results show that DNA SSBs formed during Ogg1-mediated repair of 8-oxoG augment antigen-driven allergic immune responses. A transient modulation of OGG1 expression/activity in airway epithelial cells could have clinical benefits.

Abstract
The biological effects of UV radiation of different wavelengths (UVA, UVB and UVC) were assessed in nine bacterial isolates displaying different UV sensitivities. Biological effects (survival and activity) and molecular markers of oxidative stress [DNA strand breakage (DSB), generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative damage to proteins and lipids, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase] were quantified and statistically analyzed in order to identify the major determinants of cell inactivation under the different spectral regions. Survival and activity followed a clear wavelength dependence, being highest under UVA and lowest under UVC. The generation of ROS, as well as protein and lipid oxidation, followed the same pattern. DNA damage (DSB) showed the inverse trend. Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that survival under UVA, UVB and UVC wavelengths was best explained by DSB, oxidative damage to lipids, and intracellular ROS levels, respectively.

Abstract
A mechanistic pathway for cleavage of the N-glycosidic bond of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (oxoG) catalyzed with the human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 DNA repair protein (hOGG1) is proposed in this theoretical study. The reaction scheme suggests direct proton addition to the glycosidic nitrogen N9 of oxoG from the Nε-ammonium of Lys249 residue of hOGG1 that is enabled owing to the N9 pyramidal geometry. The N9-pyramidalization of oxoG is induced within hOGG1 active site. The coordination of N9 nitrogen to the Nε-ammonium of Lys249 unveiled by available crystal structures enables concerted, synchronous substitution of the N9-C1' bond by the N9-H bond. The reaction is compared with other pathways already proposed by means of calculated activation energies. The ΔG(#) energy for the newly proposed reaction mechanism calculated with the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method 17.0 kcal mol(-1) is significantly lower than ΔG(#) energies for other reactions employing attack of the Nε-amino group to the anomeric carbon C1' of oxoG and attack of the Nε-ammonium to the N3 nitrogen of oxoG base. Moreover, activation energy for the oxoG cleavage proceeding via N9-pyramidalization is lower than energy calculated for normal G because the electronic state of the five-membered aromatic ring of oxoG is better suited for the reaction. The modification of aromatic character introduced by oxidation to the nucleobase thus seems to be the factor that is checked by hOGG1 to achieve base-specific cleavage.

Abstract
Human NEIL2, one of five oxidized base-specific DNA glycosylases, is unique in preferentially repairing oxidative damage in transcribed genes. Here we show that depletion of NEIL2 causes a 6-7-fold increase in spontaneous mutation frequency in the HPRT gene of the V79 Chinese hamster lung cell line. This prompted us to screen for NEIL2 variants in lung cancer patients' genomic DNA. We identified several polymorphic variants, among which R103Q and R257L were frequently observed in lung cancer patients. We then characterized these variants biochemically, and observed a modest decrease in DNA glycosylase activity relative to the wild type (WT) only with the R257L mutant protein. However, in reconstituted repair assays containing WT NEIL2 or its R257L and R103Q variants together with other DNA base excision repair (BER) proteins (PNKP, Polβ, Lig IIIα and XRCC1) or using NEIL2-FLAG immunocomplexes, an ~5-fold decrease in repair was observed with the R257L variant compared to WT or R103Q NEIL2, apparently due to the R257L mutant's lower affinity for other repair proteins, particularly Polβ. Notably, increased endogenous DNA damage was observed in NEIL2 variant (R257L)-expressing cells relative to WT cells. Taken together, our results suggest that the decreased DNA repair capacity of the R257L variant can induce mutations that lead to lung cancer development.

Abstract
The repair of reactive oxygen species-induced base lesions and single strand breaks (SSBs) in the nuclear genome via the base excision (BER) and SSB repair (SSBR) pathways, respectively, is well characterize, and important for maintaining genomic integrity. However, the role of mitochondrial (mt) BER and SSBR proteins in mt genome maintenance is not completely clear. Here we show the presence of the oxidized base-specific DNA glycosylase Nei-like 2 (NEIL2) and the DNA end-processing enzyme polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase (PNKP) in purified human mitochondrial extracts (MEs). Confocal microscopy revealed co-localization of PNKP and NEIL2 with the mitochondrion-specific protein cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 (MT-CO2). Further, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed association of NEIL2 and PNKP with the mitochondrial genes MT-CO2 and MT-CO3 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3); importantly, both enzymes also associated with the mitochondrion-specific DNA polymerase γ. In cell association of NEIL2 and PNKP with polymerase γ was further confirmed by proximity ligation assays. PNKP-depleted ME showed a significant decrease in both BER and SSBR activities, and PNKP was found to be the major 3'-phosphatase in human ME. Furthermore, individual depletion of NEIL2 and PNKP in human HEK293 cells caused increased levels of oxidized bases and SSBs in the mt genome, respectively. Taken together, these studies demonstrate the critical role of NEIL2 and PNKP in maintenance of the mammalian mitochondrial genome.

Abstract
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) is a major mutagenic base lesion formed when reactive oxygen species react with guanine in DNA. The human 8oxoG DNA glycosylase (hOgg1) recognizes and initiates repair of 8oxoG. hOgg1 is acknowledged as a bifunctional DNA glycosylase catalyzing removal of the damaged base followed by cleavage of the backbone of the intermediate abasic DNA (AP lyase/β-elimination). When acting on 8oxoG-containing DNA, these two steps in the hOgg1 catalysis are considered coupled, with Lys249 implicated as a key residue. However, several lines of evidence point to a concurrent and independent monofunctional hydrolysis of the N-glycosylic bond being the in vivo relevant reaction mode of hOgg1. Here, we present biochemical and structural evidence for the monofunctional mode of hOgg1 by design of separation-of-function mutants. Asp268 is identified as the catalytic residue, while Lys249 appears critical for the specific recognition and final alignment of 8oxoG during the hydrolysis reaction.

Abstract
The mutagenic threat of hydrolytic DNA cytosine deamination is met mostly by uracil DNA glycosylases (UDG) initiating base excision repair. However, several sequenced genomes of archaeal organisms are devoid of genes coding for homologues of the otherwise ubiquitous UDG superfamily of proteins. Previously, two possible solutions to this problem were offered by (i) a report of a newly discovered family of uracil DNA glycosylases exemplified by MJ1434, a protein found in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, and (ii) the description of TTC0482, an EndoIV homologue from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27, as being able to excise uracil from DNA. Sequence homologues of both proteins can be found throughout the archaeal domain of life. Three proteins orthologous to MJ1434 and the family founder itself were tested for but failed to exhibit DNA uracil glycosylase activity when produced in an Ung-deficient Escherichia coli host. Likewise, no DNA uracil processing activity could be detected to be associated with TTC0482, while the protein was fully active as an AP endonuclease. We propose that the uracil processing activities formerly found were due to contaminations with Ung enzyme. Use of Δung-strains as hosts for production of putatively DNA-U processing enzymes provides a simple safeguard.

Abstract
The activity of uracil DNA glycosylases (UDGs), which recognize and excise uracil bases from DNA, has been well characterized on naked DNA substrates but less is known about activity in chromatin. We therefore prepared a set of model nucleosome substrates in which single thymidine residues were replaced with uracil at specific locations and a second set of nucleosomes in which uracils were randomly substituted for all thymidines. We found that UDG efficiently removes uracil from internal locations in the nucleosome where the DNA backbone is oriented away from the surface of the histone octamer, without significant disruption of histone-DNA interactions. However, uracils at sites oriented toward the histone octamer surface were excised at much slower rates, consistent with a mechanism requiring spontaneous DNA unwrapping from the nucleosome. In contrast to the nucleosome core, UDG activity on DNA outside the core DNA region was similar to that of naked DNA. Association of linker histone reduced activity of UDG at selected sites near where the globular domain of H1 is proposed to bind to the nucleosome as well as within the extra-core DNA. Our results indicate that some sites within the nucleosome core and the extra-core (linker) DNA regions represent hot spots for repair that could influence critical biological processes.
