Structural Basis for the Excision Repair of Alkylation-Damaged DNA Jörg Labahn, Orlando D. Schärer, Alexander Long, Khosro Ezaz-Nikpay, Gregory L. Verdine, Tom E. Ellenberger  Cell  Volume 86, Issue 2, Pages 321-329 (July 1996) DOI: 10.1016/S0092-8674(00)80103-8

Figure 1 Repair of Aberrantly Methylated DNA by the E. coli AlkA Protein (A) AlkA catalyzes hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond linking 3-methyladenine (m3A) to the DNA backbone. The resulting abasic (AP) site is then repaired through excision/replacement DNA synthesis. (B) Additional substrates that are processed efficiently by AlkA. AlkA substrates differ in their steric characteristics, arrangement of hydrogen-bonding functionality, and groove location of the aberrant methyl group (bold). A common feature of the substrates is their positive charge (Lindahl 1982), which makes their π-surface electron deficient. Cell 1996 86, 321-329DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)80103-8)

Figure 2 Stereo View of 2Fo-Fc Electron Density around the Aromatic Cleft Located between Domains 1 and 2 of the AlkA Protein The map was calculated at 1.8 Å resolution using phases and amplitudes from the refined model. The catalytically essential Asp-238 residue is labeled. Figures were prepared with the program SETOR (Evans 1990), except where otherwise noted.

Figure 3 Overall Shape and Domain Structure of AlkA (A and B) Course of the AlkA polypeptide chain, with elements of secondary structure assigned and colored accordingly (blue = β sheet, red/orange = α helix, white = nonrepetitive elements). The arrow in (A) shows the location of the proposed enzyme active site. The view in (B) is related to that in (A) by rotation of ∼180°. (C) The AlkA protein consists of three domains: an N-terminal mixed α-β structure (Domain 1, blue); a central seven-helix bundle (Domain 2, red; αD through αJ), and a C-terminal domain of four α helices (Domain 3, yellow; αC and αK through αM). A paucity of intersubunit contacts allows some movement of domain 3 with respect to the rest of the protein. The conserved helix-hairpin-helix motif, consisting of helices αI and αJ and the intervening β turn, is located on one side of this interdomain cleft. (D) The solvent-accessible surface of AlkA, colored according to electrostatic potential (blue, positively charged; red, negatively charged), reveals a cleft at the junction of domains 2 and 3, which is unusually rich in aromatic residues. Jutting into the cleft is the catalytically essential residue Asp-238. The neighboring Asp residue at position 237, which lies at the periphery of the aromatic cleft, is not essential for glycosylase activity. A number of lysines and arginines (blue), which could potentially interact with DNA backbone phosphates, decorate the protein surface around the aromatic cleft. This figure was created using the program GRASP (Nicholls et al. 1991). Cell 1996 86, 321-329DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)80103-8)

Figure 4 Detail of the Proposed Active Site of the AlkA Protein The cleft, viewed along the direction of the arrow in Figure 3D, is rich in electron-donating aromatic side chains, which are well suited to recognize electron-deficient methylated bases through π–donor/acceptor interactions. The catalytically essential Asp-238 (green) lies at the bottom of the cleft, where it is poised to participate in the reaction chemistry, and to interact with mechanism-based oligonucleotide inhibitors.

Figure 6 Extrahelical Recognition and Excision of Aberrant DNA Bases by AlkA and Endo III The common location of a catalytically essential, conserved aspartic acid residue in the active site clefts of AlkA (A, Asp-238) and Endo III (B, Asp-138) suggests the two proteins may use a common mode of nucleophilic activation. In the case of AlkA, a monofunctional glycosylase, Asp-238 is envisioned to deprotonate water, activating it for attack on the glycosidic bond of the substrate. In the case of Endo III, we propose Asp-138 deprotonates the ε-NH3+ group of Lys-120, which attacks the glycosidic bond to form a covalent enzyme-substrate intermediate (Dodson et al. 1994). The active site cleft of AlkA is rich in electron-donating aromatic residues (here notionally illustrated in [A] as a Trp and a Tyr residue), which are ideally suited to interact with electron-deficient bases (refer also to Figure 1B) through π-DA interactions. On the other hand, the corresponding cleft in Endo III contains mostly hydrophilic residues, which may interact with substrate bases such as thymine glycol (shown in [B]) through either direct or water-mediated hydrogen-bonding.

Figure 5 Structural Similarity of AlkA and E. coli Endonuclease III (A and B) Cα trace of the AlkA protein (white) superimposed on that of the DNA glycosylase/lyase Endo III (green) (Thayer et al. 1995). (A) Much of domains 2 and 3 of AlkA correspond well with the two domains of Endo III, despite the nearly complete lack of amino-acid sequence similarity. Domain 1 of AlkA, which is structurally homologous to one conserved repeat of the TATA-binding protein, has no counterpart in Endo III. On the other hand, domain 3 of AlkA lacks an internal loop and C-terminal extension that in Endo III forms the protein scaffold for the [4Fe-4S] cluster (Fe, orange sphere; S, yellow sphere). (B) Cα superposition of the two homologous domains of AlkA, showing the structural homology of the conserved helix-hairpin-helix motifs of both proteins. The catalytically essential Asp residue of AlkA (Asp-238) aligns well with the corresponding catalytic Asp residue of Endo III (Asp-138). (C) Amino-acid sequence alignment based on the best superposition of Ca atoms in the two crystal structures, as determined by the distance geometry algorithm implemented in the program DALI (Holm and Sander 1993). The secondary structure of AlkA is denoted above the sequence alignment. The highly conserved helix-hairpin-helix motif (HhH; boxed sequence in [C]) borders one side of the aromatic cleft of AlkA (refer to [B]). The HhH motif is present in a variety of DNA glycosylases and other DNA-binding proteins (Thayer et al. 1995; Doherty et al. 1996; Nash et al. 1996). On the other side of the AlkA interdomain cleft is the conserved aspartic acid required for DNA glycosylase activity (Asp-238; indicated by an asterisk in [C]).
