Outline of Final Research Achievements

We observed an oxidative stress-dependent complex formation of MUTYH and mismatch repair factors. Using anti-FLAG antibody, we purified the complex from FLAG-tagged MUTYH expressing human cells. Western blot analyses revealed that the complex contained DNA polymerase δ and MLH 1 in addition to MSH 2, MSH 6, and PCNA. The interaction between MUTYH and MSH2 was also observed in the 8-oxo-dGua administered cells, suggesting that 8-oxoG is involved in the formation of this complex. In cells loaded with oxidative stress, transient mono-ubiquitination of PCNA occurs, but PCNA in this complex has not undergone ubiquitination. Certain MSH2 mutants found in Lynch syndrome and a DNA polymerase δ mutant do not form the oxidative stress-dependent complexes with MUTYH. These results suggested that DNA polymerase δ as well as MSH2 might be involved in molecular mechanisms underlying oxidative stress induced cell-death.
