SHORT COMMUNICATION: 1, N6-Ethenoadenine and 3, N4-ethenocytosine are excised by separate human DNA glycosylases

Abstract: We previously reported our finding that human cells contain glycosylase activity toward all four etheno bases formed in DNA by chloroacetaldehyde and related bi-functional aldehydes. By enzyme purification, including FPLC, we isolated two separate glycosylase activities for 1,N6-ethenoadenine (epsilon A) and for 3,N4-ethenocytosine (epsilon C) respectively, from crude HeLa cell-free extracts, which also contained a number of well-described glycosylases. When Mono-S FPLC purified proteins were assayed against d… Show more

“…The main repair pathway of ⑀dA is via 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase that excises this exocyclic DNA base. 22,23 However, additional (nucleotide excision) repair pathways may operate in vivo that may liberate this adduct as deoxynucleoside, but this remains to be demonstrated. 1 Intervention group, n Ï­ 29; control group, n Ï­ 26.-2 Difference between pre-and post-intervention, p Ïœ 0.001.…”

“…As shown in vitro, repair by base excision repair proteins for edA occurs at a faster rate than that for edC, [43][44][45] leading to different adduct levels remaining in tissue DNA. If a nucleotide excision repair pathway eliminates the 2 etheno lesions from tissue DNA with a similar higher preference for edA, one would expect an inverse relation of the repair products in urine as was found indeed in the patients' urine.…”

“…Apparently different cyclic etheno adducts of adenine and cytosine are removed by different glycosylases in human cells [144]. In addition, MPG [130,145,146], but apparently not MAG [91], removes 8-oxoG.…”
