Oxidative nucleotide damage: consequences and prevention

Abstract: is produced in DNA, as well as in nucleotide pools of cells, by reactive oxygen species normally formed during cellular metabolic processes. 8-Oxoguanine nucleotide can pair with cytosine and adenine nucleotides with an almost equal efficiency, then transversion mutation ensues. MutT protein of Escherichia coli and related mammalian protein MTH1 specifically degrade 8-oxo-dGTP to 8-oxo-dGMP, thereby preventing misincorporation of 8-oxoguanine into DNA. The bacterial and mammalian enzymes are close in their siz… Show more

“…Currently, the prevailing paradigm is that 8-oxodGTP is predominantly formed directly from dGTP in cells and that there may be some contribution from 8-oxodG diphosphate after conversion to the triphosphate by nucleotide diphosphate kinase (3). There is no reported evidence that unphosphorylated 8-oxodG is a substrate for nucleotide salvage.…”

“…1A). If not repaired, it can direct incorporation of dATP by DNA polymerases, resulting in G 3 T transversion mutations (1)(2)(3)(4). Likewise, 8-oxodG triphosphate (8-oxodGTP) is a mutagenic substrate for DNA synthesis because it can be incorporated opposite adenine and cytosine resulting in A 3 C and G 3 T transversions (5)(6)(7).…”
