The recombinant thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) from Aeropyrum pernix (A. pernix) was expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzymatic activity of recombinant A. pernix TDG (ApeTDG) was characterized using oligonucleotides containing a thymine/uracil base as substrate. ApeTDG had distinct glycosylase activity on T/G mismatch. The optimal temperature and pH for thymine removal were 65-70 degrees C and pH 7.0-8.5, respectively. High concentration of NaCl inhibited the thymine removal. Divalent ions had different influence on the thymine removal by ApeTDG. Ca2+ and Me2+ had no inhibition on the enzymic activity, but Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+ Mn2+, and Zn2+ completely inhibited the excision reaction. As derived from a hyperthermophilic archaea, ApeTDG protein was heat-resistant at 75 degrees C. ApeTDG also had a relatively weak DNA glycosylase activity on uracil base, with the following order: U/C > U/G approximate to U/T > U/U approximate to U/I approximate to U/AP approximate to U/- > U/A. Additional mismatch located at 3' of T/G had less inhibition on the thymine removal than that located at 5' of T/G, and two additional mismatches located at each side of T/G completely inhibited the excision of thymine. Together, these data suggest that ApeTDG is a TDG protein with weak UDG activity. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
