Function

7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine triphosphatase (DGTP) converts 8-oxoguanine containing deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate to the corresponding monophosphate. DGTP controls spontaneous mutagenesis caused by exogenous oxygen radicals.
The E. coli DGTP is called MutT. [1]
The human DGTP is called MTH1.[2]

For details on MTH1 see Student Project 7 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015.

Relevance

The 8-oxo-dGTP (oxoG) is a potentially mutagenic substrate when incorporated into DNA.

Structural highlights

  • Active site of DGTP (PDB code 3zr0).[3] Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
  • 8-oxo-dGTP is located in the tunnel.
