AGT (O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase) is an important DNA-repair protein that protects cells from killing and mutagenesis by alkylating agents. TheAGTgenes from two extremely thermophilic organisms, the bacteriumAquifex aeolicusand the archaeonArchaeoglobus fulgiduswere PCR-derived and cloned into an expression vector. The nucleotide sequence of theAq. aeolicusAGT encodes a 201-amino-acid protein with a molecular mass of 23000 Da andAr. fulgidusAGT codes for a 147-amino-acid protein with a molecular mass of 16718 Da. TheAq. aeolicusandAr. fulgidusAGTs were expressed at high levels inEscherichia colifused to an N-terminal polyhistidine tag that allowed single-step isolation and purification by metal-affinity chromatography. Both AGTs formed inclusion bodies and were not soluble under native purification conditions. Therefore AGT isolation was performed under protein-denaturation conditions in the presence of 8.0 M urea. Soluble AGT was obtained by refolding the AGT in the presence of calf thymus DNA. Both AGTs were active in repairingO6-methylguanine and, at a lower rate,O4-methylthymine in DNA. They exhibited thermostability and optimum activity at high temperature. The thermostable AGTs, particularly that fromAq. aeolicus, were readily inactivated by the low-molecular-mass inhibitorO6-benzylguanine, which is currently in clinical trials to enhance cancer chemotherapy.
