Abstract
- Pierisin-1 is a potent apoptosis-inducing protein found in the pupal extract of the cabbage white butterfly. Pierisin-1 catalyzes the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of the 2‘-deoxyguanosine residue and produces a bulky adduct, N2-(ADP-ribos-1-yl)-2‘-deoxyguanosine (N2-ADPR-dG) in DNA. Here, we examined the involvement of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) system in the removal of N2-ADPR-dG in Escherichia coli(E. coli) and human cells. The results of mobility shift gel electrophoresis assays using a 50-mer oligodeoxynucleotide containing a single N2-ADPR-dG showed that E. coliUvrAB proteins bound to the N2-ADPR-dG in vitro. Incubation of the adducted oligodeoxynucleotides with UvrABC resulted in the incision of the oligonucleotides in vitro. The results of filter binding and gel mobility shift assays using human XPA protein showed that XPA bound to DNA containing N2-ADPR-dGs in vitro. Finally, we introduced plasmids containing N2-ADPR-dGs into E. coliand human cells. N2-ADPR-adducted plasmids replicated l0 times and 20 times less efficiently in NER-deficient E. coliand human cells than in their wild-type counterparts, respectively. More mutations were induced in the plasmid propagated in NER-deficient cells than that in wild-type human cells. These results indicate the involvement of the NER system in the repair of N2-ADPR-dG in both E. coliand human cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
