CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AN HOGG1-DNA BOROHYDRIDE TRAPPED INTERMEDIATE COMPLEX
|
Overview
Most spontaneous damage to bases in DNA is corrected through the action of, the base-excision DNA repair pathway. Base excision repair is initiated by, DNA glycosylases, lesion-specific enzymes that intercept aberrant bases in, DNA and catalyze their excision. How such proteins accomplish the feat of, catalyzing no fewer than five sequential reaction steps using a single, active site has been unknown. To help answer this, we report the structure, of a trapped catalytic intermediate in DNA repair by human 8-oxoguanine, DNA glycosylase. This structure and supporting biochemical results reveal, that the enzyme sequesters the excised lesion base and exploits it as a, cofactor to participate in catalysis. To our knowledge, the present, example represents the first documented case of product-assisted catalysis, in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
