Structural highlights
FunctionNEIL3_MOUSE DNA glycosylase which prefers single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), or partially ssDNA structures such as bubble and fork structures, to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). In vitro, displays strong glycosylase activity towards the hydantoin lesions spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and guanidinohydantoin (Gh) in both ssDNA and dsDNA; also recognizes FapyA, FapyG, 5-OHU, 5-OHC, 5-OHMH, Tg and 8-oxoA lesions in ssDNA. No activity on 8-oxoG detected. Also shows weak DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase activity. In vivo, appears to be the primary enzyme involved in removing Sp and Gh from ssDNA in neonatal tissues. Seems to be an important facilitator of cell proliferation in certain populations, for example neural stem/progenitor cells and tumor cells, suggesting a role in replication-associated DNA repair.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedCovalent DNA interstrand crosslinks are toxic DNA damage lesions that block the replication machinery that can cause a genomic instability. Ubiquitous abasic DNA sites are particularly susceptible to spontaneous cross-linking with a base from the opposite DNA strand. Detection of a crosslink induces the DNA helicase ubiquitination that recruits NEIL3, a DNA glycosylase responsible for the lesion removal. NEIL3 utilizes several zinc finger domains indispensable for its catalytic NEI domain repairing activity. They recruit NEIL3 to the repair site and bind the single-stranded DNA. However, the molecular mechanism underlying their roles in the repair process is unknown. Here, we report the structure of the tandem zinc-finger GRF domain of NEIL3 and reveal the molecular details of its interaction with DNA. Our biochemical data indicate the preferential binding of the GRF domain to the replication fork. In addition, we obtained a structure for the catalytic NEI domain in complex with the DNA reaction intermediate that allowed us to construct and validate a model for the interplay between the NEI and GRF domains in the recognition of an interstrand cross-link. Our results suggest a mechanism for recognition of the DNA replication X-structure by NEIL3, a key step in the interstrand cross-link repair.
