Mycobacteria excises DNA damage in 12- or 13-nucleotide-long oligomers by prokaryotic-type dual incisions and performs transcription-coupled repair


ABSTRACT: In nucleotide excision repair, bulky DNA lesions such as UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) are removed from the genome by concerted dual incisions bracketing the lesion, followed by gap filling and ligation. So far, two dual incision patterns have been discovered: prokaryotic type which removes the damage in 11-13 nucleotide-long oligomers and eukaryotic type which removes the damage in 24-32 nucleotide-long oligomers. However, a recent study reported that the UvrC protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis removes damage in a manner analogous to yeast and humans in a 25-mer oligonucleotide arising from incisions at 15 nucleotides from the 3’ end and 9 nucleotides from the 5’ end flanking the damage. To test this model we used the in vivo excision assay and the XR-seq genome-wide repair mapping method developed in our lab to determine the repair pattern and genome-wide repair map of M. smegmatis. We find that M. smegmatis, which possesses homologues of the E. coli UvrA, B, and C genes, removes CPDs from the genome in a manner identical to the prokaryotic pattern by incising 7 nucleotides 5’ and 3 or 4 nucleotides 3’ to the photoproduct.
