CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF E. COLI 3-METHYLADENINE DNA GLYCOSYLASE (ALKA) COMPLEXED WITH DNA

General Function

1diz Escherichia coli 3 methyladenine DNA glycosylase II (AlkA) is a DNA repair enzyme that initiates base excision repair for the removal of alkylated bases. Aflatoxin B1 is an example of a toxin that attacks guanine and adenine at their N-7 atom to form alkylated bases (stryker), which prevent regulatory proteins from binding to DNA and blocks replicative polymerases (Hollis). AlkA initiates base excision repair by first locating and binding to the alkylated DNA. It then flips the affected base out of the DNA double helix and into the active site of the enzyme. Once in the active site, AlkA hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond to release the damaged base and leave the sugar phosphate backbone intact. This creates the AP site that is either devoid of a purine or pyridine. The AP site signals to other base excision repair enzymes to insert an undamaged nucleotide based on the undamaged complementary strand and seal the DNA.

Key Structures

AlkA is composed of three main domains with dimensions of approximately 50 Angstroms, 45 Angstroms, and 25 Angstroms. The first domain (residues 1-112) is the domain that is composed of a five stranded antiparallel beta sheet and two alpha helices. The (residues 113-230) contains seven alpha helices that create a hydrophobic core. The third domain (resudues 231-282) is the domain that contains a bundle of three alpha helices (Moe). (Labahn) AlkA is a member of the helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) family of DNA glycosylases, where two compact alpha helical structures are connected by a hairpin loop (Moe). In AlkA, the domain is composed of residues 202-227 and is responsible for binding the damaged DNA by van der Waals interactions, a few hydrogen bonds, and metal ion interactions.

Active Sites and Mechanism

The HhH segment of AlkA connects to the phosphodiester backbone of DNA by hydrogen bonding and interactions. The binding of the HhH segment to DNA stabilizes the damaged base and creates a 66 degree bend away from the protein that widens the minor groove of DNA. fits into the minor groove between base pairs and allows the alkylated base to be flipped into the active site (Hollis). The AlkA active site is located where the second and third domains are separated by a deep nonpolar cleft that is lined with the aromatic side chains Phe18, Tyr273, Trp272, Tyr222, and Trp218 (Labahn). These side chains create a DNA binding pocket for the alkylated base (Labahn). Once the damaged base is in the active site, Trp272 stabilizes the flipped out alkylated base in the binding pocket by aromatic ring-stacking interactions (Moe). Asp238 is essential for allowing the reaction to proceed, and points into the nonpolar pocket in order to allow stabilization of a carbocation intermediate. This stabilization is what allows the cleavage of the glycosidic bond on the damaged base (Moe). Mutation or inhibition of the Asp238 residue will prevent AlkA from performing base excision repair.

DNA Interaction

The AlkA protein stabilizes DNA by polar and nonpolar interactions with the DNA backbone. Molecular Level

Atomic Level

In order to keep the DNA strand bound to the protein, AlkA depends on van der Waals interactions on the minor groove of DNA. The van der Waals interactions play a major role in AlkA’s preference for double stranded DNA (Hollis). An example of these interactions may be seen with the Pro175 wedged into the minor groove of DNA and anchoring it by van der Waals interctions (Hallis).
