| Research Abstract |
DNA is oxidatively damaged by oxidative stress especially reactive oxygen species. Such damages result in mutations and cause a number of diseases including cancer. Among oxidatively damaged bases 8-oxoguanine can lead to increased frequency of G : C to T : A transversion. MutM is a base excision repair enzyme that recognize oxidatively damaged guanines including 8-oxoguanine. This enzyme catalyzes three reactions: excision of the 8-oxoguanine base (glycosylase activity). and b-and d-elimination of the resultant abasic site (AP-lyase activity), Recently, we also determined the structures of MutM-DNA complex. These structures suggest involvement of many amino acid residues in DNA-binding and catalytic activities. However, proposed roles of those residues have not been verified experimentally. To establish the detailed mechanism of MutM reaction, this study investigated functional roles of several amino acid residues in the catalysis. We selected several conserved residues based on the crystal structure of the complex and replaced them by other residues using site-directed mutagenesis. The obtained results demonstrate that some residues are involved in the catalytic reaction of MutM.
