Measurement of urinary excretion of 5-hydroxymethyluracil in human by GC/NICI/MS: correlation with cigarette smoking, urinary TBARS and etheno DNA adduct.

Toxicol. Lett. 155(3) , 403-10, (2005)

5-Hydroxymethyluracil (5-HMU) is derived from radiation in addition to endogenous oxidative DNA damage and it is one of the most abundant DNA adducts. Human 5-HMU-DNA-glycosylase has been shown to repair this lesion. Whether urinary levels of 5-HMU is a valid...

Highly mutagenic exocyclic DNA adducts are substrates for the human nucleotide incision repair pathway.

PLoS ONE 7(12) , e51776, (2012)

Oxygen free radicals induce lipid peroxidation (LPO) that damages and breaks polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes. LPO-derived aldehydes and hydroxyalkenals react with DNA leading to the formation of etheno(ε)-bases including 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (εA...

Magnesium, essential for base excision repair enzymes, inhibits substrate binding of N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase.

J. Biol. Chem. 281(40) , 29525-32, (2006)

N-Methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) initiates base excision repair in DNA by removing a wide variety of alkylated, deaminated, and lipid peroxidation-induced purine adducts. MPG activity and other DNA glycosylases do not have an absolute requirement for a co...

Modeling the chemical step utilized by human alkyladenine DNA glycosylase: a concerted mechanism AIDS in selectively excising damaged purines.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 133(40) , 16258-69, (2011)

Human alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) initiates the repair of a wide variety of (neutral or cationic) alkylated and deaminated purines by flipping damaged nucleotides out of the DNA helix and catalyzing the hydrolytic N-glycosidic bond cleavage. Unfortunat...

Structural insights by molecular dynamics simulations into differential repair efficiency for ethano-A versus etheno-A adducts by the human alkylpurine-DNA N-glycosylase.

Nucleic Acids Res. 30(17) , 3778-87, (2002)

1,N6-ethenoadenine adducts (epsilonA) are formed by known environmental carcinogens and found to be removed by human alkylpurine-DNA N-glycosylase (APNG). 1,N6-ethanoadenine (EA) adducts differ from epsilonA by change of a double bond to a single bond in the ...

Analysis of substrate specificity of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mag1 alkylpurine DNA glycosylase.

EMBO Rep. 12(12) , 1286-92, (2011)

DNA glycosylases specialized for the repair of alkylation damage must identify, with fine specificity, a diverse array of subtle modifications within DNA. The current mechanism involves damage sensing through interrogation of the DNA duplex, followed by more ...

Inhibition of DNA replication fork progression and mutagenic potential of 1, N6-ethenoadenine and 8-oxoguanine in human cell extracts.

Nucleic Acids Res. 36(4) , 1300-8, (2008)

Comparative mutagenesis of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (epsilonA) and 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), two endogenous DNA lesions that are also formed by exogenous DNA damaging agents, have been evaluated in HeLa and xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XPV) cell extracts. Two-dime...

Base pairing and miscoding properties of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine- and 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine-containing RNA oligonucleotides.

Biochemistry 52(11) , 1990-7, (2013)

Two RNA phosphoramidites containing the bases 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (εA) and 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (εC) were synthesized. These building blocks were incorporated into two 12-mer oligoribonucleotides for evaluation of the base pairing properties of these base l...

Kinetic mechanism for the flipping and excision of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine by human alkyladenine DNA glycosylase.

Biochemistry 48(48) , 11357-69, (2009)

Human alkyladenine DNA glycosylase initiates the repair of a wide variety of alkylated and deaminated purine lesions in DNA. In this study, we take advantage of the natural fluorescence of the 1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine (epsilonA) lesion and report a kinetic anal...

Sequence selective formation of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine in DNA by furan-conjugated probe.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 19(13) , 3657-60, (2009)

1,N(6)-Ethenoadenosine derivatives have been applied as fluorescence probes in various fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. We developed a 1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine-forming reaction at a target adenine in DNA duplex and applied it to a mutation diagnosi...
