HUMAN 3-METHYLADENINE DNA GLYCOSYLASE COMPLEXED TO DNA
Overview
DNA N-glycosylases are base excision-repair proteins that locate and cleave damaged bases from DNA as the first step in restoring the genetic blueprint. The human enzyme 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase removes a diverse group of damaged bases from DNA, including cytotoxic and mutagenic alkylation adducts of purines. We report the crystal structure of human 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase complexed to a mechanism-based pyrrolidine inhibitor. The enzyme has intercalated into the minor groove of DNA, causing the abasic pyrrolidine nucleotide to flip into the enzyme active site, where a bound water is poised for nucleophilic attack. The structure shows an elegant means of exposing a nucleotide for base excision as well as a network of residues that could catalyze the in-line displacement of a damaged base from the phosphodeoxyribose backbone.
