Background on DNA Repair

The genome of any living organism is continuously affected by exogenous and endogenous agents, such as ultraviolet light, ionizing radiation, different chemicals and the cell's own metabolites (such as reactive oxygen). Therefore, different systems have evolved to repair these damages, with some of these systems shared throughout all lifeforms. Therefore, the proper functioning of DNA repair is critical for survival. There are six pathways of DNA repair (reviewed in Friedberg et al), which include base-excision repair. The latter's distinguishing feature is that it removes lesions as single bases, as opposed to dNMPs or short oligonucleotides like other systems. ^[1]

Base excision repair's signature enzyme are the DNA glycosylases. These enzymes work by recognizing a damaged base, and then hydrolizing the N-glycosidic bond of the damaged deoxynucleoside and thus removing a single damaged base from DNA. The subsequent steps of the pathway (strand incision, gap-filling and ligation) are done by other enzymes. ^[2][3]

Background on Fpg Nei

Overall Function and Structure

(For FPG, the structure used was 1r2y and for Nei 1k3w) Members of this family have . When enzyme binds to DNA, the damaged base , with . This superfamily is also characterized by containing a ; as well as a . Both the H2TH motif and the Zinc finger, as well as other residues . [4]. Catalysis is believed to be mediated by . For information on the mechanism please consult [5][6][7][8][9]. Similarly In EcoNei (structure 1k3w, , and (Thymine Glycol in the case of Nei). [10]. Some of these amino acids are stabilized by [a (although a zincless finger motif is present in some of these subfamilies [11]). Analogously to Fpg, ), Note that the last two elements discussed, the zinc vs. zincless finger, and the two kinds of intercalation loops, are examples of coevolving functional clusters, groups of amino acids that perform a function, and that might be unnecessary or compensated for within the other subfamilies. We developed a novel method for identifying these clusters and have applied it to bring insight into the structure, function and evolution FpgNei family.

Mechanisms

Several authors have suggested mechanisms for these enzymes, please see references for more information ^{[21][22][23][24]}.

Solved Structures

Homologous structures have been solved, including Fpg protein from Lactococcus Lactis (1pjj)^[25], Bacillus Stereothermophilus (1r2y)^[26], Thermos Thermophilus (1ee8)^[27] and Escherichia Coli(1k82)^[28] and Nei from Escherichia Coli (1k3w)^[29], as well as human Neil1 (1tdh)^[30]and mimivirus Nei (3a42)^[31]. The overall structure is similar, and some of the damages include 8-oxoguanine and fapyG (1xc8)^[32].

Latent Structural Characters (LSCs)

Diagram with the LSCs (yellow), their suggested role (arrows) and the amino acids or features they affect (green and blue) We define a latent structural character (LSC) as neighboring amino acids which have changed in rate or constraint for a given clade or set of clades. For example, the cysteines in the zinc finger are all conserved in the fpg1, fpg2, actinobacterial and eukaryotic clades, but have a higher rate in plants and neil1, as the latter have a zinc-less finger (see here for more information). We developed a novel method to find these groups of amino acids, discovering previously unknown groups of amino acids which are functionally important in some of these subfamilies. The table below has some of our main findings, there are two variants for each LSC in case that for one LSC there is a compensating cluster in the other subfamilies. If you click on one of them you will see the result in the structure, and you can go to the explanation and the sequence distribution below. Click here for Jmol tutorial.|

Evolution

The FpgNei evolution has not been easy to resolve ^[33], especially in the deeper branches. Assuming that functional clusters evolve more slowly than individual residues, we can use this as phylogenetic characters to 1) draw the most parsimonious evolution of the superfamily as dictated by these functional clusters 2) examine how these clusters have evolved and how this might have influenced the evolution of FpgNei.

Gene evolution of the Fpg/Nei protein family. The root is placed in the Fpg branch given its broad distribution among bacteria.)
