Intracellular Localization of 8-Oxo-dGTPase in Human Cells, with Special Reference to the Role of the Enzyme in Mitochondria

Abstract: We examined the intracellular distribution of 8-oxo-dGTPase (8-oxo-7,8-dihydrodeoxyguanosine triphosphatase) encoded by the MTH1 gene, a human mutator homologue. The activity of 8-oxo-dGTPase mainly located in cytosolic and mitochondrial soluble fractions of Jurkat cells, a human T-cell leukemia line. Electron microscopic immunocytochemistry, using a specific antibody against MTH1 protein, showed localization of MTH1 protein in the mitochondrial matrix. Activity in the mitochondria accounted for about 4% of th… Show more

“…Aburatani et al (1997) reported another isoform lacking NLS, in which exon 7 was replaced by exon 8 located at the downstream of exon 7. hOGG1 proteins without NLS are expected to have di erent intracellular localization. Recently, hMTH protein, a 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine triphosphatase, was shown as being present in nucleus, mitochondria and cytosol (Kang et al, 1995). Therefore, each isoform of the hOGG1 proteins may have distinct intracellular localization and distinct functions in human cells.…”

“…Mitochondria were isolated from mouse brain using a method modifi ed from Kang et al ( 70 ). In brief, 2 mouse brains were washed, minced in 5 ml of ice-cold Mito buff er (10 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.8, plus 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.25 M sucrose, and protease inhibitors), and homogenized.…”

“…Mitochondria of HeLa cells were prepared by differential centrifugation (9). Briefly, the cells suspended in buffer (TES) containing 0.25 M sucrose, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, and 0.1 mM EDTA were homogenized with a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer and centrifuged at 600 ϫ g for 10 min at 4°C.…”

“…HeLa MRV11 and Jurkat (human T cell leukemia line) cells were cultured as described (9) and were harvested in logarithmic proliferation phase. The cells (about 10 6 cells) were centrifuged, and the pellets were rapidly denatured and solubilized in 100 l of denaturing buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1% SDS, and 0.1 mg/ml proteinase K at 50°C for 1 h. Total DNA was isolated by two extractions with phenol/chloroform (1/1), and then DNA was ethanol precipitated.…”
