Abstract
The most common oxidative DNA lesion is 8-oxoguanine which is mainly recognized and excised by the 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), initiating the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Telomeres are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress (OS) which disrupts telomere homeostasis triggering genome instability. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of inactivating BER in OS conditions, by using a specific inhibitor of OGG1 (TH5487). We have found that in OS conditions, TH5487 blocks BER initiation at telomeres causing an accumulation of oxidized bases, that is correlated with telomere losses, micronuclei formation and mild proliferation defects. Moreover, the antimetabolite methotrexate synergizes with TH5487 through induction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which potentiates TH5487-mediated telomere and genome instability. Our findings demonstrate that OGG1 is required to protect telomeres from OS and present OGG1 inhibitors as a tool to induce oxidative DNA damage at telomeres, with the potential for developing new combination therapies for cancer treatment.

Abstract
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (oxoG) is the most abundant oxidative DNA lesion with dual coding properties. It forms both Watson–Crick (anti)oxoG:(anti)C and Hoogsteen (syn)oxoG:(anti)A base pairs without a significant distortion of a B-DNA helix. DNA polymerases bypass oxoG but the accuracy of nucleotide incorporation opposite the lesion varies depending on the polymerase-specific interactions with the templating oxoG and incoming nucleotides. High-fidelity replicative DNA polymerases read oxoG as a cognate base for A while treating oxoG:C as a mismatch. The mutagenic effects of oxoG in the cell are alleviated by specific systems for DNA repair and nucleotide pool sanitization, preventing mutagenesis from both direct DNA oxidation and oxodGMP incorporation. DNA translesion synthesis could provide an additional protective mechanism against oxoG mutagenesis in cells. Several human DNA polymerases of the X- and Y-families efficiently and accurately incorporate nucleotides opposite oxoG. In this review, we address the mutagenic potential of oxoG in cells and discuss the structural basis for oxoG bypass by different DNA polymerases and the mechanisms of the recognition of oxoG by DNA glycosylases and dNTP hydrolases.

Abstract
Living organisms protect their genome from gene mutation by excising damaged DNA bases. Here, 8-oxoguanine (8OG) is one of the most abundant DNA lesions. In bacteria the base excision is catalyzed by the enzyme formamidopyrimidine-DNA- glycosylase (Fpg), for which two different orientations of 8OG binding into the active site of Fpg have been proposed: syn- and anti-conformation. Here, we present a new ribose-protonated repair mechanism for 8OG that is base-independent and can excise 8OG in both conformations. Using high-level QM/MM calculations with up to 588/573 atoms in the QM sphere, the activation barrier is computed in excellent agreement with the experimentally measured value. Since the excised base itself is not directly involved in the mechanism, this implies that lesion discrimination does not occur within the active site of the enzyme.

Abstract
Guanine oxidation occurs in both DNA and the cellular nucleotide pool, and one of the major products is 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine). The mutagenic potentials of this oxidized base have been examined in various experimental systems. In this review, we summarize the mutagenicity of the base in mammalian cells. We also describe the effects of specialized DNA polymerases, DNA repair proteins, and nucleotide pool sanitization enzymes.

Abstract
DNA transcription depends upon the highly efficient and selective function of RNA polymerases (RNAPs). Modifications in the template DNA can impact the progression of RNA synthesis, and a number of DNA adducts, as well as abasic sites, arrest or stall transcription. Nonetheless, data are needed to understand why certain modifications to the structure of DNA bases stall RNA polymerases while others are efficiently bypassed. In this study, we evaluate the impact that alterations in dNTP/rNTP base-pair geometry have on transcription. T7 RNA polymerase was used to study transcription over modified purines and pyrimidines with altered H-bonding capacities. The results suggest that introducing wobble base-pairs into the DNA:RNA heteroduplex interferes with transcriptional elongation and stalls RNA polymerase. However, transcriptional stalling is not observed if mismatched base-pairs do not H-bond. Together, these studies show that RNAP is able to discriminate mismatches resulting in wobble base-pairs, and suggest that, in cases of modifications with minor steric impact, DNA:RNA heteroduplex geometry could serve as a controlling factor for initiating transcription-coupled DNA repair.

Abstract
8-OxodGuo and Fapy·dG induced 10-22% mutations, predominantly G → T transversions, in human embryonic kidney 293T cells in four TG*N sequence contexts, where N = C, G, A, or T. siRNA knockdown of pol λ resulted in 34 and 55% increases in the level of mutations in the progeny from the 8-oxodGuo construct in the TG*T and TG*G sequences, respectively, suggesting that pol λ is involved in error-free bypass of 8-oxodGuo. For Fapy·dG, in contrast, the level of G → T mutations was reduced by 27 and 46% in the TG*T and TG*G sequences, respectively, suggesting that pol λ is responsible for a significant fraction of Fapy·dG-induced G → T mutations.

Abstract
Oxidized bases in the mammalian genome, which are invariably mutagenic due to their mispairing property, are continuously induced by endogenous reactive oxygen species and more abundantly after oxidative stress. Unlike bulky base adducts induced by UV and other environmental mutagens in the genome that block replicative DNA polymerases, oxidatively damaged bases such as 5-hydroxyuracil, produced by oxidative deamination of cytosine in the template strand, do not block replicative polymerases and thus need to be repaired prior to replication to prevent mutation. Following up our earlier studies, which showed that the Nei endonuclease VIII like 1 (NEIL1) DNA glycosylase, one of the five base excision repair (BER)-initiating enzymes in mammalian cells, has enhanced expression during the S-phase and higher affinity for replication fork-mimicking single-stranded (ss) DNA substrates, we recently provided direct experimental evidence for NEIL1's role in replicating template strand repair. The key requirement for this event, which we named as the 'cow-catcher' mechanism of pre-replicative BER, is NEIL1's non-productive binding (substrate binding without product formation) to the lesion base in ss DNA template to stall DNA synthesis, causing fork regression. Repair of the lesion in reannealed duplex is then carried out by NEIL1 in association with the DNA replication proteins. NEIL1 (and other BER-initiating enzymes) also interact with several accessory and non-canonical proteins including the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U and Y-box-binding protein 1 as well as high mobility group box 1 protein, whose precise roles in BER are still obscure. In this review, we have discussed the recent advances in our understanding of oxidative genome damage repair pathways with particular focus on the pre-replicative template strand repair and the role of scaffold factors like X-ray repairs cross-complementing protein 1 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 and other accessory proteins guiding distinct BER sub-pathways.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is a frontline defense mechanism for dealing with many common forms of endogenous DNA damage, several of which can drive mutagenic or cell death outcomes. The pathway engages proteins such as glycosylases, abasic endonucleases, polymerases and ligases to remove substrate modifications from DNA and restore the genome back to its original state. Inherited mutations in genes related to BER can give rise to disorders involving cancer, immunodeficiency and neurodegeneration. Studies employing genetically defined heterozygous (haploinsufficient) mouse models indicate that partial reduction in BER capacity can increase vulnerability to both spontaneous and exposure-dependent pathologies. In humans, measurement of BER variation has been imperfect to this point, yet tools to assess BER in epidemiological surveys are steadily evolving. We provide herein an overview of the BER pathway and discuss the current efforts toward defining the relationship of BER defects with disease susceptibility.

Abstract
Background The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is particularly susceptible to damage mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although elevated ROS production and elevated biomarkers of oxidative stress have been found in tissues from children with autism spectrum disorders, evidence for damage to mtDNA is lacking. Findings mtDNA deletions were evaluated in peripheral blood monocytic cells (PBMC) isolated from 2–5 year old children with full autism (AU; n = 67), and typically developing children (TD; n = 46) and their parents enrolled in the CHildhood Autism Risk from Genes and Environment study (CHARGE) at University of California Davis. Sequence variants were evaluated in mtDNA segments from AU and TD children (n = 10; each) and their mothers representing 31.2% coverage of the entire human mitochondrial genome. Increased mtDNA damage in AU children was evidenced by (i) higher frequency of mtDNA deletions (2-fold), (ii) higher number of GC→AT transitions (2.4-fold), being GC preferred sites for oxidative damage, and (iii) higher frequency of G,C,T→A transitions (1.6-fold) suggesting a higher incidence of polymerase gamma incorporating mainly A at bypassed apurinic/apyrimidinic sites, probably originated from oxidative stress. The last two outcomes were identical to their mothers suggesting the inheritance of a template consistent with increased oxidative damage, whereas the frequency of mtDNA deletions in AU children was similar to that of their fathers. Conclusions These results suggest that a combination of genetic and epigenetic factors, taking place during perinatal periods, results in a mtDNA template in children with autism similar to that expected for older individuals.

Abstract
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxo-G) is a highly abundant and mutagenic lesion. Replicative DNA polymerases (pols) are slowed down at 8-oxo-G and insert both correct cytosine (C) and incorrect adenine (A) opposite 8-oxo-G, but they preferentially extend A:8-oxo-G mispairs. Nevertheless, 8-oxo-G bypass is fairly accurate in vivo. Thus, the question how correct bypass of 8-oxo-G lesions is accomplished despite the poor extension of C:8-oxo-G base pairs by replicative pols remains unanswered. Here we show that replicative pol δ pauses in front of 8-oxo-G and displays difficulties extending from correct C:8-oxo-G in contrast to extension from incorrect A:8-oxo-G. This leads to stalling of pol δ at 8-oxo-G after incorporation of correct C. This stalling at C:8-oxo-G can be overcome by a switch from pol δ to pols λ, β, or η, all of which are able to assist pol δ in 8-oxo-G bypass by translesion synthesis (TLS). Importantly, however, only pol λ selectively catalyzes the correct TLS past 8-oxo-G, whereas pols β and η show no selectivity and even preferentially enhance incorrect TLS. The selectivity of pol λ to promote the correct bypass depends on its N-terminal domain. Furthermore, pol λ(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblast extracts display reduced 8-oxo-G TLS. Finally, the correct bypass of 8-oxo-G in gapped plasmids in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and HeLa cells is promoted in the presence of pol λ. Our findings suggest that even though 8-oxo-G is not a blocking lesion per se, correct replication over 8-oxo-G is promoted by a pol switch between pols δ and λ.

Abstract
Biallelic germline mutations in the base excision repair enzyme gene MUTYH lead to multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinomas referred to as MUTYH-associated polyposis. MUTYH removes adenine misincorporated opposite the DNA oxidation product, 8-oxoguanine (OG), thereby preventing accumulation of G:C to T:A transversion mutations. The most common cancer-associated MUTYH variant proteins when expressed in bacteria exhibit reduced OG:A mismatch affinity and adenine removal activity. However, direct evaluation of OG:A mismatch repair efficiency in mammalian cells has not been assessed due to the lack of an appropriate assay. To address this, we developed a novel fluorescence-based assay of OG:A repair and measured the repair capacity of MUTYH-associated polyposis variants expressed in Mutyh-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The repair of a single site-specific synthetic lesion in a green fluorescent protein reporter leads to green fluorescent protein expression with co-expression of a red fluorescent protein serving as the transfection control. Cell lines that stably express the MUTYH-associated polyposis variants G382D and Y165C have significantly lower OG:A repair versus wild-type MEFs and MEFs expressing human wild-type MUTYH. The MUTYH allele that encodes the Q324H variant is found at a frequency above 40% in samples from different ethnic groups and has long been considered phenotypically silent but has recently been associated with increased cancer risk in several clinical studies. In vitro analysis of Q324H MUTYH expressed in insect cells showed that it has reduced enzyme activity similar to that of the known cancer variant G382D. Moreover, we find that OG:A repair in MEFs expressing Q324H was significantly lower than wild-type controls, establishing that Q324H is functionally impaired and providing further evidence that this common variant may lead to increased cancer risk.

Abstract
Endogenous processes or genotoxic agents can induce many types of single DNA damage (single-strand breaks, oxidized bases and abasic sites). In addition, ionizing radiation induces complex lesions such as double-strand breaks and clustered damage. To preserve the genomic stability and prevent carcinogenesis, distinct repair pathways have evolved. Despite this, complex DNA damage can cause severe problems and is believed to contribute to the biological consequences observed in cells exposed to genotoxic stress. In this review, the current knowledge of formation and repair of complex DNA damage is summarized and the risks and biological consequences associated with their repair are discussed.

Abstract
We present here a theoretical investigation of the electronic and energetic properties of Na(+)GC, a DNA motif bound to a sodium ion (Na(+)) at the N(7) and O(6) sites of guanine (G), and its hole-trapped derivative [Na(+)GC](+) using density functional theory calculations. Normally, Na(+)GC has positive dissociation energies along various dissociation channels. However, hole-trapping of the Na(+)GC motif can lead to an unusual energetic phenomenon. Hole-trapping can reduce not only the dissociation barrier by destabilizing the Na(+)GC motif to a metastable state, but also the dissociation energy of the Na(+)N(7)/O(6) bond with an unexpected change from a positive to a negative value (61.51 versus-16.18 kcal mol(-1)). This unexpected negative dissociation energy phenomenon implies that this motif can store energy (∼16 kcal mol(-1)) in the Na(+)N(7)/O(6) bond zone due to hole-trapping. The topological properties of electron densities and the Laplacian values at the bond critical points indicate that this energetic phenomenon mainly originates from additional electrostatic repulsions between two moieties linked via a high-energy bond (Na(+)N(7)/O(6)). Proton transfer from G induced by hole-trapping can expand the negative dissociation energy zone to both Na(+)N(7)/O(6) and Watson-Crick (WC) H-bond zones. Similar phenomena can be observed for the Na(+) binding at the minor groove. Solvation of the hole-trapped Na(+)GC motif can change the negative dissociation energies by varying degrees, depending on the solvent-binding sites and the polarity of the solvents.

Effects of base excision repair proteins on mutagenesis by 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-hydroxyguanine) paired with cytosine and adenine. DNA Repair (Amst) 2010; 9:542-50.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxo-Gua, also known as 8-hydroxyguanine) is a major base lesion that is generated by reactive oxygen species in both the DNA and nucleotide pool. The role of DNA glycosylases, which initiate base excision repair, in the mutagenic processes of 8-oxo-Gua in DNA and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-oxo-dGTP, also known as 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate) were investigated using supF shuttle plasmids propagated in human cells. The DNA glycosylases, OGG1, MUTYH, NTH1, and NEIL1, in 293T cells were individually knocked-down by siRNAs and plasmid DNAs containing an 8-oxo-Gua:C/8-oxo-Gua:A pair, and 8-oxo-dGTP plus unmodified plasmid DNA were then introduced into the knocked-down cells. The knock-down of OGG1, MUTYH, NTH1, and NEIL1 resulted in a significant increase in G:C-->T:A transversions caused by the 8-oxo-Gua:C pair in the shuttle plasmid. The knock-down of MUTYH resulted in a reduction in A:T-->C:G transversions induced by 8-oxo-dGTP and the 8-oxo-Gua:A pair, but the knockdown of OGG1, NTH1, and NEIL1 had no effect on mutagenesis. These results indicate that all of the above DNA glycosylases suppress mutations caused by 8-oxo-Gua:C in DNA. In contrast, it appears that MUTYH enhances A:T-->C:G mutations caused by 8-oxo-dGTP.

Abstract
Background Sporadic Parkinson's disease (sPD) is a nervous system-wide disease that presents with a bradykinetic movement disorder and is frequently complicated by depression and cognitive impairment. sPD likely has multiple interacting causes that include increased oxidative stress damage to mitochondrial components and reduced mitochondrial bioenergetic capacity. We analyzed mitochondria from postmortem sPD and CTL brains for evidence of oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), heteroplasmic mtDNA point mutations and levels of electron transport chain proteins. We sought to determine if sPD brains possess any mtDNA genotype-respiratory phenotype relationships. Results Treatment of sPD brain mtDNA with the mitochondrial base-excision repair enzyme 8-oxyguanosine glycosylase-1 (hOGG1) inhibited, in an age-dependent manner, qPCR amplification of overlapping ~2 kbase products; amplification of CTL brain mtDNA showed moderate sensitivity to hOGG1 not dependent on donor age. hOGG1 mRNA expression was not different between sPD and CTL brains. Heteroplasmy analysis of brain mtDNA using Surveyor nuclease® showed asymmetric distributions and levels of heteroplasmic mutations across mtDNA but no patterns that statistically distinguished sPD from CTL. sPD brain mitochondria displayed reductions of nine respirasome proteins (respiratory complexes I-V). Reduced levels of sPD brain mitochondrial complex II, III and V, but not complex I or IV proteins, correlated closely with rates of NADH-driven electron flow. mtDNA levels and PGC-1α expression did not differ between sPD and CTL brains. Conclusion PD brain mitochondria have reduced mitochondrial respiratory protein levels in complexes I-V, implying a generalized defect in respirasome assembly. These deficiencies do not appear to arise from altered point mutational burden in mtDNA or reduction of nuclear signaling for mitochondrial biogenesis, implying downstream etiologies. The origin of age-related increases in distribution of oxidative mtDNA damage in sPD but not CTL brains is not clear, tracks with but does not determine the sPD phenotype, and may indicate a unique consequence of aging present in sPD that could contribute to mtDNA deletion generation in addition to mtDNA replication, transcription and sequencing errors. sPD frontal cortex experiences a generalized bioenergetic deficiency above and beyond aging that could contribute to mood disorders and cognitive impairments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent research indicates a close connection of inflammation and cancer as presumed by Virchow in 1893. The growing understanding of cellular signalling and regulatory pathways reveals multiple links between inflammation and cancer. This study was designed to evaluate the influence of the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone and the antioxidant alpha-tocopherol on oxidative induced DNA damage, a major factor in the development of malignancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Miniorgan cultures (MOC) of fresh biopsied human nasal mucosa were used to keep cells in their microenvironment and thus to mimic in vivo conditions. MOC were pretreated with dexamethasone and alpha-tocopherol in different concentrations on 1 or on 5 days before oxidative DNA damage was introduced by hydrogen peroxide. The effect of these substances on DNA damage was evaluated using the alkaline single cell microgel electrophoresis (Comet Assay). RESULTS Dexamethasone induced slight, but considerable DNA fragmentation by itself. It effectively protected cells from hydrogen peroxide induced DNA damage, leading to a maximum decrease of about 45% when preincubated on 5 days at 20 microM. alpha-Tocopherol most effectively reduced oxidative DNA fragmentation by about 38% when MOC were pretreated 5 days at 20 microM. DISCUSSION Our experimental data clearly shows the DNA protective action of dexamethasone and alpha-tocopherol with regard to oxidatively induced DNA damage, a major pathogenetic factor that inflammation and cancer have in common.

Abstract
The mutagenicity of an oxidized form of dGTP, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-OH-dGTP), was examined using COS-7 cells. 8-OH-dGTP and supF shuttle plasmid DNA were cointroduced by means of cationic liposomes, and the DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and then transfected into Escherichia coli. 8-OH-dGTP induced A:T-->C:G substitution mutations in the COS-7 cells. This result agrees with previous observations indicating that DNA polymerases misincorporate 8-OH-dGTP opposite A in vitro, and that the oxidized deoxyribonucleotide induces A:T-->C:G transversions in E. coli. These results constitute the first direct evidence to show that 8-OH-dGTP actually induces mutations in living mammalian cells.

Abstract
The generation of reactive oxygen species may be both beneficial to cells, performing a function in inter- and intracellular signalling, and detrimental, modifying cellular biomolecules, accumulation of which has been associated with numerous diseases. Of the molecules subject to oxidative modification, DNA has received the greatest attention, with biomarkers of exposure and effect closest to validation. Despite nearly a quarter of a century of study, and a large number of base- and sugar-derived DNA lesions having been identified, the majority of studies have focussed upon the guanine modification, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG). For the most part, the biological significance of other lesions has not, as yet, been investigated. In contrast, the description and characterisation of enzyme systems responsible for repairing oxidative DNA base damage is growing rapidly, being the subject of intense study. However, there remain notable gaps in our knowledge of which repair proteins remove which lesions, plus, as more lesions identified, new processes/substrates need to be determined. There are many reports describing elevated levels of oxidatively modified DNA lesions, in various biological matrices, in a plethora of diseases; however, for the majority of these the association could merely be coincidental, and more detailed studies are required. Nevertheless, even based simply upon reports of studies investigating the potential role of 8-OH-dG in disease, the weight of evidence strongly suggests a link between such damage and the pathogenesis of disease. However, exact roles remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
Mutations found in human tumors often include transversions of GC to TA that may result from the mis-pairing of 8-oxoG with adenine during DNA replication. The human MutY (hMYH) enzyme, an adenine-specific DNA glycosylase, initiates repair at this mismatch. It has recently been demonstrated that inherited variants of hMYH may predispose individuals to multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinoma [Nat. Genet. 30 (2002) 227]. In this study, we demonstrate that two of these cancer-associated hMYH mutants, Y165C and G382D, are devoid of glycosylase activity directed towards 8-oxoG:A mispairs. These findings implicate a total loss of hMYH function associated with colorectal cancers.

Abstract
Chromosomal translocations of tyrosine kinase c-ABL gene from chromosome 9 may generate oncogenic kinases exhibiting constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. Recently, we have shown that ABL-fusion oncogenic tyrosine kinases, BCR/ABL and TEL/ABL, specific to hematopoietic malignances, induced resistance to DNA-damaging agents. To elucidate the role of DNA repair in this phenomenon we examined the capacity of murine BaF3 lymphoid cells and their TEL/ABL-transformed counterparts to repair DNA lesions caused by gamma- and UV-radiations and the anti-cancer drug, idarubicin. TEL/ABL-transformed cells displayed resistance to these DNA damaging agents as evaluated by MTT assay and the survival advantage was associated with an accelerated kinetics of DNA repair as measured by the alkaline comet assay. Deoxyribonucleosides (dNTPs) supplementation of the repair medium further stimulated DNA repair and the effect was specific to the DNA damage agent used in the experiment but only the transformed cells displayed this feature. A variety of damages induced imply the multi-pathway of DNA repair involved. We also examined the capability of BCR/ABL-fusion to modulate the repair of oxidative lesions, considered as a major side effect of various anti-cancer drugs including idarubicin and radiation. Employing the free radical scavenger alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN, a spin trap) and DNA repair enzymes: endonuclease III (EndoIII) that nicks DNA at sites of oxidized bases, we found that BCR/ABL-transformed cells repaired oxidative DNA lesions more effectively than control cells. Our results suggest, that oncogenic ABL-dependent stimulation of DNA repair may contribute to the cell resistance to genotoxic treatment.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage is an inevitable consequence of cellular metabolism, with a propensity for increased levels following toxic insult. Although more than 20 base lesions have been identified, only a fraction of these have received appreciable study, most notably 8-oxo-2'deoxyguanosine. This lesion has been the focus of intense research interest and been ascribed much importance, largely to the detriment of other lesions. The present work reviews the basis for the biological significance of oxidative DNA damage, drawing attention to the multiplicity of proteins with repair activities along with a number of poorly considered effects of damage. Given the plethora of (often contradictory) reports describing pathological conditions in which levels of oxidative DNA damage have been measured, this review critically addresses the extent to which the in vitro significance of such damage has relevance for the pathogenesis of disease. It is suggested that some shortcomings associated with biomarkers, along with gaps in our knowledge, may be responsible for the failure to produce consistent and definitive results when applied to understanding the role of DNA damage in disease, highlighting the need for further studies.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA base damage is mainly corrected by the base excision repair (BER) pathway, which can be divided into two subpathways depending on the length of the resynthetized patch, either one nucleotide for short patch BER or several nucleotides for long patch BER. The role of proteins in the course of BER processes has been investigated in vitro using purified enzymes and cell-free extracts. In this study, we have investigated the repair of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) in vivo using wild-type, polymerase beta(-/-) (Polbeta(-/-)), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1(-/-) (PARP-1(-/-)), and Polbeta(-/-)PARP-1(-/-) 3T3 cell lines. We used non replicating plasmids containing a 8-oxoG:C base pair to study the repair of the lesion located in a transcribed sequence (TS) or in a non-transcribed sequence (NTS). The results show that 8-oxoG repair in TS is not significantly impaired in cells deficient in Polbeta or PARP-1 or both. Whereas 8-oxoG repair in NTS is normal in Polbeta-null cells, it is delayed in PARP-1-null cells and greatly impaired in cells deficient in both Polbeta and PARP-1. The removal of 8-oxoG and presumably the cleavage at the resulting apurinic/apyrimidinic site are not affected in the PARP-1(-/-)Polbeta(-/-) cell lines. However, 8-oxoG repair is incomplete, yielding plasmid molecules with a nick at the site of the lesion. Therefore, PARP-1(-/-)Polbeta(-/-) cell lines cannot perform 5'-dRP removal and/or DNA repair synthesis. Furthermore, the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation activity of PARP-1 is essential for 8-oxoG repair in a Polbeta(-/-) context, because expression of the catalytically inactive PARP-1 (E988K) mutant does not restore 8-oxoG repair, whereas an wild type PARP-1 does.

Abstract
Humic acid (HA) has been implicated as an etiological factor of Blackfoot disease endemic in the southwest coast of Taiwan. Dysfunction of endothelial cells and vasculopathy have been proposed to explain the onset of ulcerous changes at extremities. However, little is known about the effect of HA on activities of cells in these nonhealing wounds. In the present study, we demonstrate that HA adversely affects the growth properties of fibroblasts, one of the key players in wound repair. HA treatment caused growth arrest and apoptosis in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF). This was accompanied by a significant increase in the level of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in cellular DNA. The increased fluorescence in dichlorofluorescin (H2DCF)-stained and HA-treated cells suggests the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HA-induced biological effects. Conversely, vitamin E pretreatment, which significantly reduced the 8-OHdG formation in HA-treated cells, alleviated the growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of HA. These results indicate that HA initiates oxidative damages to fibroblasts, and leads to their dwindling growth potential and survival. The present study suggests that HA-induced growth retardation and apoptosis of fibroblasts may play a role in the pathogenesis of Blackfoot disease.

Abstract
The base excision repair (BER) process removes base damage such as oxidation, alkylation or abasic sites. Two BER sub-pathways have been characterized using in vitro methods, and have been classified according to the length of the repair patch as either 'short-patch' BER (one nucleotide) or 'long-patch' BER (LP-BER; more than one nucleotide). To investigate the occurrence of LP-BER in vivo, we developed an assay using a plasmid containing a single modified base in the transcribed strand of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and a stop codon, based on a single-nucleotide mismatch, at varying distances on the 3' side of the lesion. The reversion of the stop codon occurs after DNA repair synthesis and restores EGFP expression after transfection of mismatch-repair-deficient cells. Repair patches longer than one nucleotide were observed for 55-80% or 80-100% of the plasmids with a mean length of 2-6 or 6-12 nucleotides for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine or a synthetic abasic site, respectively. These data show the existence of LP-BER in vivo, and emphasize the effect of the type of BER substrate lesion on both the yield and the extent of the LP-BER sub-pathway.

Abstract
The oxidation product of guanine, 8-oxoguanine, is a major lesion formed in DNA by intracellular metabolism, ionizing radiation, and tobacco smoke. Using a recently developed method for the quantitative analysis of translesion replication, we have studied the bypass of 8-oxoguanine in vivo by transfecting human cells with a gapped plasmid carrying a site-specific 8-oxoguanine in the ssDNA region. The efficiency of bypass in the human large-cell lung carcinoma cell line H1299 was 80%, and it was similar when assayed in the presence of aphidicolin, an inhibitor of DNA polymerases alpha, delta and epsilon. A similar extent of bypass was observed also in XP-V cells, defective in pol eta, both in the absence and presence of aphidicolin. DNA sequence analysis indicated that the major nucleotide inserted opposite the 8-oxoguanine was the correct nucleotide C, both in H1299 cells (81%) and in XP-V cells (77%). The major mutagenic event was the insertion of an A, both in H1299 and XP-V cells, and it occurred at a frequency of 16-17%, significantly higher than previously reported. Interestingly, the misinsertion frequency of A opposite 8-oxoguanine was decreased in XP-V cells in the presence of aphidicolin, and misinsertion of G was observed. This modulation of the mutagenic specificity at 8-oxoguanine is consistent with the notion that while not essential for the bypass reaction, pol eta and pol delta, when present, are involved in bypass of 8-oxoguanine in vivo.

Abstract
The Cockayne syndrome B (CSB) gene product is involved in the repair of various types of base modifications in actively transcribed DNA sequences. To investigate its significance for the repair of endogenous oxidative DNA damage, homozygous csb(-/-)/ogg1(-/-) double knockout mice were generated. These combine the deficiency of CSB with that of OGG1, a gene coding for the mammalian repair glycosylase that initiates the base excision repair of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). Compared to ogg1(-/-) mice, csb(-/-)/ogg1(-/-) mice were found to accumulate with age severalfold higher levels of oxidited purine modifications in hepatocytes, splenocytes and kidney cells. In contrast, the basal (steady-state) levels of oxidative DNA modifications in cells from csb(-/-) mice were not different from those in wild-type mice and did not increase with age. The analysis of the repair rates of additional oxidative DNA base modifications induced by photosensitization in immortalized embryonic fibroblasts was in accordance with these findings: compared to wild-type cells, the global repair was only slightly affected in csb(-/-) cells, more compromised in ogg1(-/-) cells, but virtually absent in csb(-/-)/ogg1(-/-) cells. An inhibition of transcription by alpha-amanitin did not block the Csb-dependent repair in ogg1(-/-) fibroblasts. The influence of Csb on the global repair of 8-oxoG was not detectable in assays with total protein extracts and in a shuttle vector system. The data indicate a role for Csb in the removal of 8-oxoG from the overall genome that is independent of both Ogg1-mediated base excision repair and regular transcription.

Abstract
This review discusses recent aspects of oxidation reactions of DNA and model compounds involving mostly OH radicals, one-electron transfer process and singlet oxygen (1O2). Emphasis is placed on the formation of double DNA lesions involving a purine base on one hand and either a pyrimidine base or a 2-deoxyribose moiety on the other hand. Structural and mechanistic information is also provided on secondary oxidation reactions of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), a major DNA marker of oxidative stress. Another major topic which is addressed here deals with recent developments in the measurement of oxidative base damage to cellular DNA. This has been mostly achieved using the accurate and highly specific HPLC method coupled with the tandem mass spectrometry detection technique. Interestingly, optimized conditions of DNA extraction and subsequent work-up allow the accurate measurement of 11 modified nucleosides and bases within cellular DNA upon exposure to oxidizing agents, including UVA and ionizing radiations. In addition, the modified comet assay, which involves the use of bacterial DNA N-glycosylases to reveal two main classes of oxidative base damage, is applicable to isolated cells and is particularly suitable when only small amounts of biological material are available. Finally, recently available data on the substrate specificity of DNA repair enzymes belonging to the base excision pathways are briefly reviewed.

Abstract
Oxidatively damaged thymine, 5-formyluracil (5-fU), was incorporated into a predetermined site of double-stranded shuttle vectors. The nucleotide sequences in which the modified base was incorporated were 5'-CFTAAG-3' and 5'-CTFAAG-3' (F represents 5-fU), the recognition site for the restriction enzyme AflII (5'-CTTAAG-3'). The 5-fU was incorporated into a template strand of either the leading or lagging strand of DNA replication. The modified DNAs were transfected into simian COS-7 cells, and the DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and were analyzed after the second transfection into Escherichia coli. The 5-fU did not block DNA replication in mammalian cells. The 5-fU residues were weakly mutagenic, and their mutation frequencies in double-stranded vectors were 0.01-0.04%. The T --> G and T --> A transversions were the mutations found most frequently, suggesting the formation of 5-fU.C and 5-fU.T base pairs, respectively. This is the first report that clearly shows the induction of transversion mutations by an oxidized pyrimidine base in DNA in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The repair mechanisms involved in the removal of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) in damaged DNA have been investigated using cell-free extracts or purified proteins. However, in vivo repair assays are required to further dissect mechanisms involved in the repair of 8-oxoG in the cellular context. In this study, we analyzed the removal of 8-oxoG from plasmids that contain a single 8-oxoG.C base pair in a sequence that can be transcribed (TS) or nontranscribed (NTS) in a chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. The results show that 8-oxoG located in a TS is removed faster than in a NTS, indicating transcription-coupled repair (TCR) of 8-oxoG in rodent cells. The results also show that CHO cells efficiently repair DNA molecules that contain an Ogg1-incised AP site, which is the first intermediate in the course of base excision repair of 8-oxoG.

Abstract
6-Nitro- and 8-nitro-5-deazaflavin derivatives have been found to enhance prominently the radiation-induced formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) at the expense of formation of 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine nucleosides (FapydGuo) both in deaerated and in N(2)O saturated aqueous 2'-deoxyguanosine solutions. The radiosensitizing capacity of a 9-nitro-5-deazflavin derivative was observed only in the N(2)O saturated aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The human MutY homolog, hMYH, is an adenine-specific DNA glycosylase that removes adenines or 2-hydroxyadenines mispaired with guanines or 8-oxoguanines. In order to prevent mutations, this activity must be directed to the newly synthesized strand and not the template strand during DNA synthesis. The subcellular localization and expression of hMYH has been studied in serum-stimulated, proliferating MRC5 cells. Using specific antibodies, we demonstrate that endogenous hMYH protein localized both to nuclei and mitochondria. hMYH in the nuclei is distinctly distributed and co-localized with BrdU at replication foci and with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The levels of hMYH in the nucleus increased 3- to 4-fold during progression of the cell cycle and reached maximum levels in S phase compared to early G(1). Similar results were obtained for PCNA, while there were no notable changes in expression of 8-oxoguanine glycosylase or the human MutT homolog, MTH1, throughout the cell cycle. The cell cycle-dependent expression and localization of hMYH at sites of DNA replication suggest a role for this glycosylase in immediate post-replication DNA base excision repair.

Abstract
Although a series of biomarkers are widely used for the estimation of oxidative damage to biomolecules, validations of the analytical methods have seldom been presented. Formal validation, that is the study of the analytical performances of a method, is however recognized as the best safeguard against the generation and publication of data with low reliability. Classical validation parameters were investigated for the determination of an oxidative stress biomarker, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in cellular DNA, by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to amperometric detection (HPLC-EC); this modified base is increasingly considered as a marker of oxidative damage to DNA, but many questions are still raised on the analytical methods in use. Upon a rigorous statistical evaluation of the quality criteria currently required for assays in biological media, including selectivity, linearity, accuracy, repeatability, sensitivity, limits of detection and quantification, ruggedness and storage at different stop points in the procedure, the HPLC-EC assay method is found mostly reliable. The present validation attempt demonstrates that (i) the HPLC-EC assay of 8-oxo-dG provides consistent data allowing to reliably detect an increase of this biomarker in cellular DNA; (ii) a harsh oxidative stress does not hinder the enzymatic digestion of DNA by nuclease P1; and (iii) the analytical results must be expressed relative to the internal standard dG which significantly improves both repeatability and sensitivity. Whereas the described assay minimizes the artifactual production of the analyte from processing and storage, this cannot be totally ruled out; the true 8-oxo-dG base levels still lack a definitive assay method, which remains a considerable analytical challenge and the object of controversy.

Abstract
Ionizing radiations often induce multiple and clustered DNA lesions at the site of DNA interaction. As a model, we have studied the toxicity and the mutagenicity of two adjacent oxidative bases as clustered DNA lesions in mammalian cells using shuttle vectors. The chosen oxidative lesions were 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, the formylamine residue resulting from the oxidation of a pyrimidine base and the tandem lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine/formylamine where both modifications are located at a vicinal position. A single-stranded DNA shuttle vector carrying a unique DNA lesion was constructed, transfected into simian COS7 cells and mutations induced after replication in mammalian cells were screened in bacteria. 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, as expected, does not affect greatly survival (70% bypass) whereas formylamine and the tandem lesions are blocking alterations, DNA polymerase bypass being of 45% and 17%, respectively. Base insertion opposite the lesion was studied. Under our experimental conditions, replication of 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydroguanine finally gives rise to guanine:cytosine pairing, rendering this lesion only slightly mutagenic. This is not the case for the formylamine that codes preferentially for adenine (71%). In addition, one-base deletions were observed targeted to the site to the lesion. Cytosine and thymine were inserted opposite the lesion with similar but low frequencies. Thus, coding properties of the formylamine render this residue very mutagenic when coming from the oxidative alteration of a cytosine. The coding properties of the tandem damage are a combination of the contribution of the two isolated lesions with a very high percentage of adenine insertion (94%) opposite the formylamine residue of the tandem lesion. The toxicity as well as the mutation spectrum of the tandem lesion allow us to speculate about the molecular mechanism with which the DNA polymerase replicates these two lesions.

Abstract
To assess the role of the Ogg1 DNA glycosylase in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) of the mutagenic lesion, 7, 8-dihydro-8oxoguanine (8-OxoG), we have investigated the removal of this lesion in wild-type and ogg1(-/-) null mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF) cell lines. We used nonreplicating plasmids containing a single 8-OxoG.C base pair in a different assay that allowed us to study the removal of 8-OxoG located in a transcribed sequence (TS) or in a nontranscribed sequence (NTS). The results show that the removal of 8-OxoG in a wild-type MEF cell line is faster in the TS than in the NTS, indicating TCR of 8-OxoG in murine cells. In the homozygous ogg1(-/-) MEF cell line, 8-OxoG was not removed from the NTS whereas there was still efficient 8-OxoG repair in the TS. Expression of the mouse Ogg1 protein in the homozygous ogg1(-/-) cell line restored the ability to remove 8-OxoG in the NTS. Therefore, we have demonstrated that Ogg1 is essential for the repair of 8-OxoG in the NTS but is not required in the TS. These results indicate the existence of an Ogg1-independent pathway for the TCR of 8-OxoG in vivo.

Abstract
Shuttle vectors carrying the supF suppressor tRNA gene were originally developed for mutagenesis experiments in primate and human cells. Since then, the supF gene has been used as a mutation reporter in other mammalian cells, yeast, Escherichia coli, and transgenic mice. The widespread use of the vector for studies of many DNA reactive agents has produced a large database of mutation spectra. These provide primary information on the kinds and distribution of mutations provoked by many agents and, in many instances, allow comparisons between related agents or the same agent in different cell backgrounds. In this review we will discuss some of these data with a primary focus on the interpretation of UV mutation spectra. We will also describe our development and application of custom supF marker genes as an approach to studying the effect of sequence context on mutation hotspots and cold spots. Our studies suggest that C-C photoproducts are not mutagenic in certain sequence contexts in which T-C photoproducts are mutation hotspots. In addition, we have found several examples of sequence context effects acting as much as 80 bases away from the site of mutation. We will consider some of the problems raised by these studies and the possible resolution of some of them offered by the newly discovered family of damage bypass DNA polymerases.

Abstract
Modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) are powerful tools to assess the biological significance of oxidized lesions to DNA. For this purpose, we developed original synthetical pathways for the site-specific insertion of several oxidized bases into DNA fragments. Thus, the chemical solid-phase synthesis of ODNs using original strategies of protection and mild conditions of deprotection, as well as a specific post-oxidation approach of an unique nucleoside residue within the sequence have been applied. These two approaches of preparation allowed us to have access to a set of modified ODNs that contain a single modified nucleoside, i.e., N-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)formylamine (dF), 5-hydroxy-2'-deoxycytidine (5-OHdCyd), thymidine glycol (dTg), 5,6-dihydrothymidine (DHdThd), 2,2-diamino-4-[(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-amino]-5(2H)- oxazolone (dZ), N-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)cyanuric acid (dY), 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (cyclodGuo) and 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (cyclodAdo). The substrates were used to investigate recognition and removal of the lesions by bacterial DNA N-glycosylases, including endonuclease III (endo III) and Fapy glycosylase (Fpg). In addition, the DNA polymerase-mediated nucleotide incorporation opposite the damage was determined using modified ODNs as templates.

Abstract
The post-replicative adenine:8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (GO) mismatch is crucial for G:C to T:A transversion. This mismatch is corrected by Escherichia coli MutY which excises the adenine from A:GO. A candidate gene coding for the human counterpart of MutY has been cloned as hMYH. However, the function and enzyme activities of the gene product have not been identified. We previously demonstrated that an epitope-tagged hMYH protein behaves as a mitochondrial protein. In the present study, we have identified an alternative hMYH transcript, termed type 2, which differs in the exon 1 sequence of the known transcript (type 1). A nuclear localization for the type 2 protein was revealed by detection of epitope-tagged protein in COS-7 cells. Expression of both type 1 and type 2 transcripts was reduced in post-mitotic tissues. hMYH cDNA suppressed the mutator phenotype of E.coli mutY. In vitro expressed hMYH showed adenine DNA glycosylase activity toward the A:GO substrate. The protein can bind to A:GO, and to T:GO and G:GO without apparent catalysis. These results represent the first demonstration of the function of the hMYH gene product which is differentially transported into the nucleus or the mitochondria by alternative splicing

Electrolytic reductions of 6- and 8-nitro-5-deazaflavin derivatives in the presence of the 2'-deoxyguanosine under anaerobic conditions resulted in prominent formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine.

Mutations are defined as stable and irreversible modifications of the normal genetic message due to small changes in the number or type of bases, or to large modifications of the genome such as deletions, insertions or chromosome rearrangements. These lesions are due to either polymerase errors during normal DNA replication or unrepaired DNA lesions, which will give rise to mutations through a mutagenic pathway. The molecular process leading to mutagenesis depends largely on the type of DNA lesions. Base modifications, such as 8-oxo-guanine or thymine glycol, both induced by ionizing radiations (IR), are readily replicated leading to direct mutations, usually base-pair substitutions. The 8-oxo-G gives rise predominantly to G to T transversions, the type of mutations found in ras or p53 gene from IR-induced tumors. Bulky adducts produced by chemical carcinogens or UV-irradiation are usually repaired by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway which is able to detect structural distortion in the normal double-strand DNA backbone. These lesions represent a blockage to DNA and RNA polymerases as well as some signal for p53 accumulation in the damaged cell. In the absence of repair, these lesions could be eventually replicated owing to the induction of specific proteins at least in bacteria during the SOS process. The precise nature of the error-prone replication across an unexcised DNA lesion in the template is not fully understood in detailed biochemical terms, in mammalian cells. IR basically produce a very large number of DNA lesions from unique base modifications to single- or double-strand breaks and even complex DNA lesions due to the passage of very high energy particles or to a local re-emission of numerous radicals. The breakage of the double-helix is a difficult lesion to repair. Either it will result in cell death or, after an incorrect recombinational pathway, it will induce frameshifts, large deletions or chromosomal rearrangements. Most of the IR-induced mutations are recessive ones, requiring therefore a second genetic event in order to exhibit any harmful effect and a long latency period before the development of a radiation-induced tumor. The fact that IR essentially induced deletions and chromosomal translocations renders very difficult the use of the p53 gene as a marker for mutation analysis. In agreement with the type of lesions induced by IR, it is interesting to point out that the presence has been observed, in a vast majority of radiation-induced papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC), of an activated ret proto-oncogene originated by the fusion of the tyrosine kinase 3' domain of this gene with the 5' domain of four different genes. These ret chimeric genes which are due to intra- or inter-chromosomal translocations, were called RET/PTC1 to PTC5. The RET/PTC rearrangements were found in PTC from children contaminated by the Chernobyl fall-out as well as in tumours from patients with a history of therapeutic external radiation, with a frequency of 60-84%. This frequency was only 15% in 'spontaneous' PTC. The type of ret chimeric gene predominantly originated by the accidental or therapeutic IR was different. Indeed, PTC1 was present in 75% of the tumours linked to a therapeutic radiation and PTC3 in 75% of the Chernobyl ones. The other forms of RET/PTC were observed in only a minority of the post-Chernobyl PTC (< 20%). The difference in the frequency of PTC1 and PTC3 in both types of PTC, is statistically significant (P < 10(-5), Fischer's exact test). In two of the post-therapeutic radiation PTC, RET/PTC1 and PTC3 were simultaneously present. A PTC1 gene was also observed in 45% of the adenomas appearing after therapeutic radiation. The long-period of latency between exposure to IR and the appearance of thyroid tumours is probably due to the conversion of a heterozygote genotype of IR-induced mutations to a homozygote one. It will be interesting to use this time lag in accidental or therapeutic-irradiated p

Abstract
8-Hydroxyguanine is one of the major products formed by the reactive oxygen species which are generated in living cells as a consequence of either the normal metabolic pathways or an exogeneous chemical or physical stress. The production of the oxidative damage is described and the different repair pathways of the oxidative lesions are analyzed from bacteria to human cells. Analysis of repair in human cells harboring different deficiencies in the nucleotide excision repair mechanism such as xeroderma pigmentosum cells from different complementation groups and cells from Cockayne's syndrome patients allows us to emphasize the possibility of the intervention of this repair mechanism on the elimination of oxidative damages. Finally, a repair model of oxidative lesions is proposed.

Abstract
In most organisms, the mismatch repair (MMR) system plays an important role in substantially lowering mutation rates and blocking recombination between nonidentical sequences. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the products of three genes homologous to Escherichia coli mutS-MSH2, MSH3, and MSH6-function in MMR by recognizing mispaired bases. To determine the effect of MMR on single-base pair mismatches, we have measured reversion rates of specific point mutations in the CYC1 gene in both wild-type and MMR-deficient strains. The reversion rates of all of the point mutations are similar in wild-type cells. However, we find that in the absence of MSH2 or MSH6, but not MSH3, reversion rates of some mutations are increased by up to 60,000-fold, whereas reversion rates of other mutations are essentially unchanged. When cells are grown anaerobically, the reversion rates in MMR-deficient strains are decreased by as much as a factor of 60. We suggest that the high reversion rates observed in these MMR-deficient strains are caused by misincorporations opposite oxidatively damaged bases and that MMR normally prevents these mutations. We further suggest that recognition of mispairs opposite damaged bases may be a more important role for MMR in yeast than correction of errors opposite normal bases.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine (8-oxoG), induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ionizing radiation, is arguably the most important mutagenic lesion in DNA. This oxidized base, because of its mispairing with A, induces GC-->TA transversion mutations often observed spontaneously in tumor cells. The human cDNA encoding the repair enzyme 8-oxoG-DNA glycosylase (OGG-1) has recently been cloned, however, its activity was never detected in cells. Here we show that the apparent lack of this activity could be due to the presence of an 8-oxoG-specific DNA binding protein. Moreover, we demonstrate the presence of two antigenically distinct OGG activities with an identical reaction mechanism in human cell (HeLa) extracts. The 38 kDa OGG-1, identical to the cloned enzyme, cleaves 8-oxoG when paired with cytosine, thymine and guanine but not adenine in DNA. In contrast, the newly discovered 36 kDa OGG-2 prefers 8-oxoG paired with G and A. We propose that OGG-1 and OGG-2 have distinct antimutagenic functions in vivo . OGG-1 prevents mutation by removing 8-oxoG formed in DNA in situ and paired with C, while OGG-2 removes 8-oxoG that is incorporated opposite A in DNA from ROS-induced 8-oxodGTP. We predict that OGG-2 specifically removes such 8-oxoG residues only from the nascent strand, possibly by utilizing the same mechanism as the DNA mismatch repair pathway.
