Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Oxygen radicals generated through normal cellular respiration processes can cause mutations in genomic and mitochondrial DNA. Human MTH1 hydrolyzes oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphates, such as 8-oxo-dGTP and 2-hydroxy-dATP, to monophosphates, thereby preventing the misincorporation of these oxidized nucleotides during replication. Here we present the solution structure of MTH1 solved by multidimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. The protein adopts a fold similar to that of Escherichia coli MutT, despite the low sequence similarity between these proteins outside the conserved Nudix motif. The substrate-binding pocket of MTH1, deduced from chemical shift perturbation experiments, is located at essentially the same position as in MutT; however, a pocket-forming helix is largely displaced in MTH1 (∼9 Å) such that the shape of the pocket differs between the two proteins. Detailed analysis of the pocket-forming residues enabled us to identify Asn33 as one of the key residues in MTH1 for discriminating the oxidized form of purine, and mutation of this residue modifies the substrate specificity. We also show that MTH1 catalyzes hydrolysis of 8-oxo-dGTP through nucleophilic substitution of water at the β-phosphate.

Cellular DNA continually suffers assault from exogenous and endogenous agents that cause a wide variety of DNA modifications. Such modifications are often detrimental to the cell, leading to mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Numerous enzymes have the important task of maintaining the integrity of DNA. These enzymes are generally well conserved from bacteria to humans. Oxygen radicals, which are spontaneously generated during normal cellular metabolism or by ionizing radiation or various chemicals, often attack nucleic acids, thereby generating modified bases in DNA (1Boiteux S. Gajewski E. Laval J. Dizdaroglu M. Biochemistry. 1992; 31: 106-110Crossref PubMed Scopus (575) Google Scholar, 2Gajewski E. Rao G. Nackerdien Z. Dizdaroglu M. Biochemistry. 1990; 29: 7876-7882Crossref PubMed Scopus (250) Google Scholar). Among these modified bases, the most abundant species, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxo-G), 1The abbreviations used are: 8-oxo-G, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine; NOE, nuclear Overhauser effect; NOESY, NOE spectroscopy; TOCSY, total correlation spectroscopy; HSQC, heteronuclear single quantum correlation spectroscopy; r.m.s.d., root mean square deviations; AMPCPP, α,β-methyleneadenosine triphosphate; ADPRase, ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase; 2-OH-dATP, 2-hydroxy-dATP. can pair with both cytosine and adenine with almost equal efficiency and consequently can induce A:T to C:G and G:C to T:A transversion mutations (3Maki H. Sekiguchi M. Nature. 1992; 355: 273-275Crossref PubMed Scopus (792) Google Scholar, 4Cheng K.C. Cahill D.S. Kasai H. Nishimura S. Loeb L.A. J. Biol.

Carcinogenesis. 1995; 16: 883-889Crossref PubMed Scopus (126) Google Scholar). Organisms are equipped with elaborate mechanisms to counteract the mutagenic effects of 8-oxo-G. In Escherichia coli, two glycosylases encoded by the mutM and mutY genes function to prevent mutation caused by the presence of 8-oxo-G in DNA. MutM protein removes 8-oxo-G paired with cytosine, whereas MutY protein removes adenine paired with 8-oxo-G (6Tchou J. Kasai H. Shibutani S. Chung M.H. Laval J. Grollman A.P. Nishimura S. Proc. Natl.

Sekiguchi M. Mutat. Res. 1995; 336: 257-267Crossref PubMed Scopus (318) Google Scholar). To prevent further mutation through the presence of 8-oxo-dGTP, MutT hydrolyzes 8-oxo-dGTP to its monophosphate form, thereby preventing the oxidized purine from being misincorporated into genomic DNA. The importance of this enzyme has been underscored by the observation that deficiency of the mutT gene increases the occurrence of A:T to C:G transversion mutations 1000-fold (10Yanofsky C. Cox E.C. Horn V. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1966; 55: 274-281Crossref PubMed Scopus (213) Google Scholar, 11Akiyama M. Maki H. Sekiguchi M. Horiuchi T. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1989; 86: 3949-3952Crossref PubMed Scopus (90) Google Scholar). The mechanism concerning the coordinated action of MutM, MutY, and MutT, which constitute the so-called “GO system,” has been well characterized in prokaryotes. Protein factors with enzymatic activities similar to those of MutM, MutY, and MutT have been identified in mammals; however, these enzymes show limited sequence similarity to their prokaryotic counterparts (12Bessho T. Tano K. Kasai H. Ohtsuka E. Nishimura S. J. Biol. Chem. 1993; 268: 19416-19421Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar, 13McGoldrick J.P. Yeh Y.C. Solomon M. Essigmann J.M. Lu A.L. Mol. Cell. Biol. 1995; 15: 989-996Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The mammalian counterpart of MutT, MutT homolog-1 (MTH1), is induced after proliferative activation (14Oda H. Nakabeppu Y. Furuichi M. Sekiguchi M. J. Biol. Chem. 1997; 272: 17843-17850Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (56) Google Scholar), and is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm and mitochondria (15Kang D. Nishida J. Iyama A. Nakabeppu Y. Furuichi M. Fujiwara T. Sekiguchi M. Takeshige K. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 14659-14665Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (166) Google Scholar). Mice lacking the Mth1 gene exhibit an increase in the occurrence of spontaneous carcinogenesis in liver and, to a lesser extent, in lung and stomach, suggesting that an accumulation of 8-oxo-dGTP, which is a substrate of MTH1, may trigger malignant transformation in vivo (16Tsuzuki T. Egashira A. Igarashi H. Iwakuma T. Nakatsuru Y. Tominaga Y. Kawate H. Nakao K. Nakamura K. Ide F. Kura S. Nakabeppu Y. Katsuki M. Ishikawa T. Sekiguchi M. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2001; 98: 11456-11461Crossref PubMed Scopus (262) Google Scholar). The detrimental effect of 8-oxo-dGTP in eukaryotes is also implied from the observation that an increase in the accumulation of 8-oxo-G in DNA, together with an increase in the expression of MTH1, is found not only in human cancer tissue (17Kennedy C.H. Cueto R. Belinsky S.A. Lechner J.F. Pryor W.A. FEBS Lett. 1998; 429: 17-20Crossref PubMed Scopus (77) Google Scholar, 18Iida T. Furuta A. Kawashima M. Nishida J. Nakabeppu Y. Iwaki T. Neuro-oncol. 2001; 3: 73-81PubMed Google Scholar) but also in degenerating neurons, as determined by immunohistochemical analyses (19Shimura-Miura H. Hattori N. Kang D. Miyako K. Nakabeppu Y. Mizuno Y. Ann. Neurol. 1999; 46: 920-924Crossref PubMed Scopus (149) Google Scholar, 20Furuta A. Iida T. Nakabeppu Y. Iwaki T. Neuroreport. 2001; 12: 2895-2899Crossref PubMed Scopus (44) Google Scholar). MTH1, but not E. coli MutT, can hydrolyze in vitro nucleotide triphosphates containing oxidized adenine such as 2-hydroxy-dATP (2-OH-dATP), 2-OH-rATP, 8-oxo-dATP, and 8-oxo-rATP, in addition to those containing oxidized guanines such as 8-oxo-dGTP and 8-oxo-rGTP (21Fujikawa K. Kamiya H. Yakushiji H. Y. Nakabeppu Y. Kasai H. J. Biol. Chem. 1999; Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus Google Scholar, K. Kamiya H. Yakushiji H. Nakabeppu Y. Kasai H.
