Efficient repair of abasic sites in DNA by mitochondrial enzymes.

Abstract:

:Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cause a variety of relatively rare human diseases and may contribute to the pathogenesis of other, more common degenerative diseases. This stimulates interest in the capacity of mitochondria to repair damage to mtDNA. Several recent studies have shown that some types of damage to mtDNA may be repaired, particularly if the lesions can be processed through a base excision mechanism that employs an abasic site as a common intermediate. In this paper, we demonstrate that a combination of enzymes purified from Xenopus laevis mitochondria efficiently repairs abasic sites in DNA. This repair pathway employs a mitochondrial class II apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease to cleave the DNA backbone on the 5' side of an abasic site. A deoxyribophosphodiesterase acts to remove the 5' sugar-phosphate residue left by AP endonuclease. mtDNA polymerase gamma fills the resulting 1-nucleotide gap. The remaining nick is sealed by an mtDNA ligase. We report the first extensive purification of mtDNA ligase as a 100-kDa enzyme that functions with an enzyme-adenylate intermediate and is capable of ligating oligo(dT) strands annealed to poly(rA). These properties together with preliminary immunological evidence suggest that mtDNA may be related to nuclear DNA ligase III.

  • Nucleotide deletion and P addition in V(D)J recombination: a determinant role of the coding-end sequence.

    abstract::During V(D)J recombination, the coding ends to be joined are extensively modified. Those modifications, termed coding-end processing, consist of removal and addition of various numbers of nucleotides. We previously showed in vivo that coding-end processing is specific for each coding end, suggesting that specific moti...
