Inhibition of Excision of Oxidatively Generated Hydantoin DNA Lesions by NEIL1 by the Competitive Binding of the Nucleotide Excision Repair Factor XPC-RAD23B.

ABSTRACT: The interplay between nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER) of nonbulky, oxidatively generated DNA lesions has long been a subject of significant interest. The hydantoin oxidation products of 8-oxoguanine, spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh), are substrates of both BER and NER in HeLa cell extracts and human cells [Shafirovich, V., et al. (2019) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 32, 753-761]. The primary factor that recognizes DNA lesions is the DNA damage-sensing factor XPC-RAD23B (XPC), while the glycosylase NEIL1 is known to remove Gh and Sp lesions from double-stranded DNA. It is shown here that in aqueous solutions containing nanomolar concentrations of proteins, XPC and NEIL1 compete for binding to 147-mer oligonucleotide duplexes that contain
