ENDO3c

endonuclease III

• SMART accession number: SM00478
• Description: includes endonuclease III (DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase), alkylbase DNA glycosidases (Alka-family) and other DNA glycosidases
• Interpro abstract (IPR003265):

  The HhH-GPD superfamily gets its name from its hallmark helix-hairpin-helix and Gly/Pro rich loop followed by a conserved aspartate [ (PUBMED:10706276) (PUBMED:8805338) ]. This domain is found in a diverse range of structurally related DNA repair proteins that include: endonuclease III, EC 4.2.99.18 and DNA glycosylase MutY, an A/G-specific adenine glycosylase. Both of these enzymes have a C-terminal iron-sulphur cluster loop (FCL). The methyl-CPG binding protein (MBD4) also contain a related domain that is a thymine DNA glycosylase [ (PUBMED:10499592) ]. The family also includes DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II EC 3.2.2.21 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylases and other members of the AlkA family.

• Structural basis for the excision repair of alkylation-damaged DNA.
• Cell. 1996; 86: 321-9

Base-excision DNA repair proteins that target alkylation damage act on a variety of seemingly dissimilar adducts, yet fail to recognize other closely related lesions. The 1.8 A crystal structure of the monofunctional DNA glycosylase AlkA (E. coli 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II) reveals a large hydrophobic cleft unusually rich in aromatic residues. An Asp residue projecting into this cleft is essential for catalysis, and it governs binding specificity for mechanism-based inhibitors. We propose that AlkA recognizes electron-deficient methylated bases through pi-donor/acceptor interactions involving the electron-rich aromatic cleft. Remarkably, AlkA is similar in fold and active site location to the bifunctional glycosylase/lyase endonuclease III, suggesting the two may employ fundamentally related mechanisms for base excision.

• Three-dimensional structure of a DNA repair enzyme, 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase II, from Escherichia coli.
• Cell. 1996; 86: 311-9

The three-dimensional structure of Escherichia coli 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase II, which removes numerous alkylated bases from DNA, was solved at 2.3 A resolution. The enzyme consists of three domains: one alpha + beta fold domain with a similarity to one-half of the eukaryotic TATA box-binding protein, and two all alpha-helical domains similar to those of Escherichia coli endonuclease III with combined N-glycosylase/abasic lyase activity. Mutagenesis and model-building studies suggest that the active site is located in a cleft between the two helical domains and that the enzyme flips the target base out of the DNA duplex into the active-site cleft. The structure of the active site implies broad substrate specificity and simple N-glycosylase activity.

• Regulatory mechanisms for induction of synthesis of repair enzymes in response to alkylating agents: ada protein acts as a transcriptional regulator.
• Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1986; 83: 6297-301

Expression of the ada and alkA genes, both of which are involved in the adaptive response of Escherichia coli to alkylating agents, is positively controlled by Ada protein, the product of the ada gene. Large amounts of ada- and alkA-specific RNA were formed in cells treated with a methylating agent, whereas little such RNA was produced in untreated cells. The in vivo transcription-initiation sites for the two genes were determined by primer-extension cDNA synthesis. In an in vitro reconstituted system, both ada and alkA transcripts were formed in an Ada protein-dependent manner. However, responses of the two transcription reactions to methylating agents differed; ada transcription was stimulated by methylnitrosourea, while alkA transcription was suppressed. We prepared a methylated form of Ada protein by an in vitro reaction and compared the activity with that of the normal, unmethylated form. The methylated form was more effective in promoting ada transcription than was the unmethylated form, but the effects of both forms were much the same with regard to alkA transcription. Based on these findings, we propose a model for the molecular mechanism of adaptive response.
