Ligands: ZN Related: 3gpp, 3gpu, 3gpy, 3gq3, 3gq4, 3gq5 Gene: MutM (ATCC 12980) Activity: DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase, with EC number 4.2.99.18 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum Function [P84131_GEOSE] Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Acts as DNA glycosylase that recognizes and removes damaged bases. Has a preference for oxidized purines, such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00103][SAAS:SAAS020629_004_120556] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed How living systems detect the presence of genotoxic damage embedded in a million-fold excess of undamaged DNA is an unresolved question in biology. Here we have captured and structurally elucidated a base-excision DNA repair enzyme, MutM, at the stage of initial encounter with a damaged nucleobase, 8-oxoguanine (oxoG), nested within a DNA duplex. Three structures of intrahelical oxoG-encounter complexes are compared with sequence-matched structures containing a normal G base in place of an oxoG lesion. Although the protein-DNA interfaces in the matched complexes differ by only two atoms-those that distinguish oxoG from G-their pronounced structural differences indicate that MutM can detect a lesion in DNA even at the earliest stages of encounter. All-atom computer simulations show the pathway by which encounter of the enzyme with the lesion causes extrusion from the DNA duplex, and they elucidate the critical free energy difference between oxoG and G along the extrusion pathway. Encounter and extrusion of an intrahelical lesion by a DNA repair enzyme.,Qi Y, Spong MC, Nam K, Banerjee A, Jiralerspong S, Karplus M, Verdine GL Nature. 2009 Dec 10;462(7274):762-6.
