Base excision repair of oxidized
pyrimidines in human DNA is initiated by the DNA
N-glycosylase/apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) lyase,
human NTH1 (hNTH1), the homolog of Escherichia coli
endonuclease III (Nth). In contrast to Nth, the DNA
N-glycosylase activity of hNTH1 is 7-fold greater than its
AP lyase activity when the DNA substrate contains a thymine glycol (Tg)
opposite adenine (Tg:A) (Marenstein, D. R., Ocampo, M. T. A., Chan, M. K., Altamirano, A., Basu, A. K.,
Boorstein, R. J., Cunningham, R. P., and Teebor, G. W. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 21242-21249). When Tg is
opposite guanine (Tg:G), the two activities are of the same specific
activity as the AP lyase activity of hNTH1 against Tg:A (Ocampo,
M. T. A., Chaung, W., Marenstein, D. R., Chan, M. K., Altamirano, A., Basu, A. K., Boorstein, R. J.,
Cunningham, R. P., and Teebor, G. W. (2002) Mol. Cell.
Biol. 22, 6111-6121). We demonstrate here that hNTH1 was
inhibited by the product of its DNA N-glycosylase activity
directed against Tg:G, the AP:G site. In contrast, hNTH1 was not as
inhibited by the AP:A site arising from release of Tg from Tg:A.
Addition of human APE1 (AP endonuclease-1) increased dissociation of hNTH1
from the DNA N-glycosylase-generated AP:A site, resulting
in abrogation of AP lyase activity and an increase in turnover of the
DNA N-glycosylase activity of hNTH1. Addition of APE1 did
not abrogate hNTH1 AP lyase activity against Tg:G. The stimulatory
protein YB-1 (Marenstein et al.), added to APE1, resulted
in an additive increase in both activities of hNTH1 regardless of base
pairing. Tg:A is formed by oxidative attack on thymine opposite
adenine. Tg:G is formed by oxidative attack on 5-methylcytosine
opposite guanine (Zuo, S., Boorstein, R. J., and Teebor, G. W. (1995) Nucleic Acids Res. 23, 3239-3243). It is
possible that the in vitro substrate selectivity of
mammalian NTH1 and the concomitant selective stimulation of activity by APE1 are indicative of selective repair of oxidative damage in different regions of the genome.
