Catalytic Mechanism of the Bacterial Non-Heme Fe(II) and 2-Oxoglutarate Dependent Enzyme AlkB with Single-Stranded DNA Containing Complex Guanine Adducts.

ABSTRACT: The bacterial nonheme Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent enzyme AlkB repairs alkylation damages in single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) nucleotide bases. This study examines for the first time the reaction mechanism of the AlkB-catalyzed repair of alkylated and exocyclic guanine adducts (GAs) in single-stranded DNA induced by everyday chemical exposures associated with cancers and other genetic disorders. The studied substrates include N2-furfurylguanine (FF-dG), N2-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl-methylguanine (HF-dG), 3-(2'-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-hydroxypyrimido[1,2-α]purin-10(3H)-one (α-OH-PdG), 3-(2'-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-hydroxypyrimido[1,2-α]purin-10(3H)-one (γ-OH-PdG), and 3-(2'-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl) pyrimido[1,2-α]purin-1
