DNA Polymerase Beta E295K with Spiroiminodihydantoin in Templating Position
Structural highlights
FunctionDPOLB_HUMAN Repair polymerase that plays a key role in base-excision repair. Has 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity that removes the 5' sugar phosphate and also acts as a DNA polymerase that adds one nucleotide to the 3' end of the arising single-nucleotide gap. Conducts 'gap-filling' DNA synthesis in a stepwise distributive fashion rather than in a processive fashion as for other DNA polymerases.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe first high-resolution crystal structure of spiroiminodihydantoin (dSp1) was obtained in the context of the DNA polymerase beta active site and reveals two areas of significance. First, the structure verifies the recently determined S configuration at the spirocyclic carbon. Second, the distortion of the DNA duplex is similar to that of the single-oxidation product 8-oxoguanine. For both oxidized lesions, adaptation of the syn conformation results in similar backbone distortions in the DNA duplex. The resulting conformation positions the dSp1 A-ring as the base-pairing face whereas the B-ring of dSp1 protrudes into the major groove.
