Abstract:
:An endonuclease that specifically removes 8-hydroxyguanine (oh8Gua) from DNA has been isolated from Escherichia coli. As the amount of oh8Gua produced in DNA of X-ray-irradiated mice is known to decrease with time after irradiation, an attempt was made to find a similar activity in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) using a synthetic dsDNA containing oh8Gua as a substrate. The PMN enzyme was isolated free of other DNases, and found to cleave the substrate DNA simultaneously at 2 sites, the phosphodiester bonds 5' and 3' to oh8Gua, producing free hydroxyl and phosphate groups, respectively. The enzyme showed almost no activity on DNAs containing other kinds of modified base tested or mismatched DNA. Thus human cells also contain an endonuclease that specifically removes oh8Gua residues from DNA.
