Escherichia coli MutY has an important role in preventing mutations associated with the oxidative lesion 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG) in DNA by excising adenines from OG center dot A mismatches as the first step of base excision repair. To determine the importance of specific steps in the base pair recognition and base removal process of MutY, we have evaluated the effects of modifications of the OG center dot A substrate on the kinetics of base removal, mismatch affinity and repair to G-C in an E coli-based assay. Notably, adenine modification was tolerated in the cellular assay, whereas modification of OG resulted in minimal cellular repair. High affinity for the mismatch and efficient base removal required the presence of OG. Taken together, these results suggest that the presence of OG is a critical feature that is necessary for MutY to locate OG center dot A mismatches and select the appropriate adenines for excision to initiate repair in vivo before replication.
