Özet

We have investigated the substrate specificity of the Ogg1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yOgg1 protein) for excision of modified DNA bases from oxidatively damaged DNA substrates using gas chromatography/isotope dilution mass spectrometry, Four DNA substrates prepared by treatment with H2O2/Fe(III)-EDTA/ascorbic acid, H2O2/Cu(II) and gamma-irradiation under N2O or air were used, The results showed that 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimid (Fapy-Gua) were efficiently excised from DNA exposed to ionizing radiation in the presence of N2O or air, On the other hand, 8-OH-Gua and FapyGua were not excised from H2O2/Fe(III)-EDTA/ascorbic acid-treated and H2O2/Cu(II)-treated DNA respectively, Fourteen other lesions, including the adenine lesions 8-hydroxyadenine and 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine, were not excised from any of the DNA substrates. Kinetics of excision significantly depended on the nature of the damaged DNA substrates. The findings suggest that, in addition to 8-OH-Gua, FapyGua may also be a primary substrate of yOgg1 in cells, The results also show significant differences between the substrate specificities of yOgg1 protein and its functional analog Fpg protein in Escherichia coli.
