IPR012319

Description

IPR012319 is a Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase, catalytic domain.

<p>This entry represents the catalytic domain of DNA glycosylase/AP lyase enzymes including formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylases (Fpg; MutM) and endonuclease VIII (Nei).</p> <p>Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylases (Fpg, MutM) are trifunctional DNA base excision repair enzymes that remove a wide range of oxidation-damaged bases (N-glycosylase activity; [ec:3.2.2.23]) and cleave both the 3'- and 5'-phosphodiester bonds of the resulting apurinic/apyrimidinic site (AP lyase activity; [ec:4.2.99.18]). Fpg has a preference for oxidised purines, excising oxidised purine bases such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). Its AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity introduces nicks in the DNA strand, cleaving 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. Fpg is a monomer composed of 2 domains connected by a flexible hinge [[cite:PUB00014010]]. The two DNA-binding motifs (a zinc finger and the helix-two-turns-helix motifs) suggest that the oxidised base is flipped out from double-stranded DNA in the binding mode and excised by a catalytic mechanism similar to that of bifunctional base excision repair enzymes [[cite:PUB00014010]]. Fpg binds one ion of zinc at the C-terminal, which contains four conserved and essential cysteines [[cite:PUB00002832], [cite:PUB00003593]].</p> <p>Endonuclease VIII (Nei) has the same enzyme activities as Fpg ([ec:3.2.2], [ec:4.2.99.18]), but with a preference for oxidised pyrimidines, such as thymine glycol, 5,6-dihydrouracil and 5,6-dihydrothymine [[cite:PUB00031419]]. These proteins contain three structural domains: an N-terminal catalytic core domain, a central helix-two turn-helix (H2TH) module and a C-terminal zinc finger [[cite:PUB00012853]]. The N-terminal catalytic domain and the C-terminal zinc finger straddle the DNA with the long axis of the protein oriented roughly orthogonal to the helical axis of the DNA. Residues that contact DNA are located in the catalytic domain and in a β-hairpin loop formed by the zinc finger [[cite:PUB00018047]].</p>

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function Damaged DNA binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with damaged DNA.
Molecular function DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity Catalysis of the cleavage of the C-O-P bond in the AP site created when DNA glycosylase removes a damaged base, involved in the DNA base excision repair pathway (BER).
Biological process Base-excision repair In base excision repair, an altered base is removed by a DNA glycosylase enzyme, followed by excision of the resulting sugar phosphate. The small gap left in the DNA helix is filled in by the sequential action of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase.
Molecular function Zinc ion binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with zinc (Zn) ions.
Molecular function Hydrolase activity, hydrolyzing N-glycosyl compounds Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any N-glycosyl bond.
