The MutY homolog (MYH) can excise adenines misincorporated opposite to guanines or 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanines (8-oxoG) during DNA replication; thereby preventing G:C to T:A transversions. Germline mutations in the human MYH gene are associated with recessive inheritance of colorectal adenomatous polyposis (MAP). Here, we characterize one newly identified MAP-associated MYH missense mutation (R231L) that lies adjacent to the putative hMSH6 binding domain. The R231L mutant protein has severe defects in A/GO binding and in adenine glycosylase activities. The mutant fails to complement mutY-deficiency in Escherichia coli, but does not affect binding to hMSH6. These data support the role of the hMYH pathway in carcinogenesis.
