The DNA lesion 8-oxo-guanine (8-oxo-G) is a highly mutagenic product of the interaction between reactive oxygen species and DNA. To maintain genomic integrity, cells have evolved mechanisms capable of removing this frequently arising oxidative lesion. Mismatch repair (MMR) appears to be one pathway associated with the repair of 8-oxo-G lesions (DeWeese, T. L., Shipman, J. M., Larrier, N. A., Buckley, N. M., Kidd, L. R., Groopman, J. D., Cutler, R. G., te Riele, H., and Nelson, W. G. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95, 11915-11920; Ni, T. T., Marsischky, G. T., and Kolodner, R. D. (1999) Mol. Cell 4, 439-444). Here we report the effect of double-stranded DNA oligonucleotides containing a single 8-oxo-G on the DNA binding affinity, ATPase, and ADP right arrow ATP exchange activities of hMSH2-hMSH6 and hMSH2-hMSH3. We found that hMSH2-hMSH6 binds the oligonucleotide DNA substrates with the following affinities: 8-oxo-G/T > 8-oxo-G/G > 8-oxo-G/A > 8-oxo-G/C approximately G/C. A similar trend was observed for DNA-stimulated ATPase and ADP --> ATP exchange activities of hMSH2-hMSH6. In contrast, hMSH2-hMSH3 did not appear to bind any of the 8-oxo-G containing DNA substrates nor was there enhanced ATPase or ADP --> ATP exchange activities. These results suggest that only hMSH2-hMSH6 is activated by recognition of 8-oxo-G lesions. Our data are consistent with the notion that post-replication MMR only participates in the repair of mismatched 8-oxo-G lesions.

The integrity of genomes of the two crucial organelles of the malaria parasite - an apicoplast and mitochondrion in each cell - must be maintained by DNA repair mediated by proteins targeted to these compartments. We explored the localisation and function of Plasmodium falciparum base excision repair (BER) DNA N-glycosylase homologs PfEndoIII and PfOgg1. These N-glycosylases would putatively recognise DNA lesions prior to the action of apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP)-endonucleases.

Bacteria have to cope with oxidative stress caused by distinct Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), derived not only from normal aerobic metabolism but also from oxidants present in their environments. The major ROS include superoxide O , hydrogen peroxide HO and radical hydroxide HO. To protect cells under oxidative stress, bacteria induce the expression of several genes, namely the SoxRS, OxyR and PerR regulons.

Y-family DNA polymerase iota (Pol ι) is involved in DNA damage response and tolerance. Mutations and altered expression level of POLI gene are linked to a higher incidence of cancer. We biochemically characterized five active site polymorphic variants of human Pol ι: R71G (rs3218778), P118L (rs554252419), I236M (rs3218784), E251K (rs3218783) and P365R (rs200852409).

During oxidative stress, inflammation, or environmental exposure, ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides are oxidatively modified. 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-guanosine (8-oxo-G) is a common oxidized nucleobase whose deoxyribonucleotide form, 8-oxo-dGTP, has been widely studied and demonstrated to be a mutagenic substrate for DNA polymerases. Guanine ribonucleotides are analogously oxidized to r8-oxo-GTP, which can constitute up to 5% of the rGTP pool.

RNA regulation and maintenance are critical for proper cell function. Small molecules that specifically alter RNA sequence would be exceptionally useful as probes of RNA structure and function or as potential therapeutics.
