Catalytic Domain Of Muty From Escherichia Coli K20A Mutant
Overview
The Escherichia coli adenine DNA glycosylase, MutY, plays an important, role in the maintenance of genomic stability by catalyzing the removal of, adenine opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine or guanine in duplex DNA., Although the x-ray crystal structure of the catalytic domain of MutY, revealed a mechanism for catalysis of the glycosyl bond, it appeared that, several opportunistically positioned lysine side chains could participate, in a secondary beta-elimination reaction. In this investigation, it is, established via site-directed mutagenesis and the determination of a, 1.35-A structure of MutY in complex with adenine that the abasic site, (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity is alternatively regulated by two, lysines, Lys142 and Lys20. Analyses of the crystallographic structure also, suggest a role for Glu161 in the apurinic/apyrimidinic lyase chemistry., The beta-elimination reaction is structurally and chemically uncoupled, from the initial glycosyl bond scission, indicating that this reaction, occurs as a consequence of active site plasticity and slow dissociation of, the product complex. MutY with either the K142A or K20A mutation still, catalyzes beta and beta-delta elimination reactions, and both mutants can, be trapped as covalent enzyme-DNA intermediates by chemical reduction. The, trapping was observed to occur both pre- and post-phosphodiester bond, scission, establishing that both of these intermediates have significant, half-lives. Thus, the final spectrum of DNA products generated reflects, the outcome of a delicate balance of closely related equilibrium, constants.
