Purification and characterization of a mammalian homolog of Escherichia coli MutY mismatch repair protein from calf liver mitochondria.


ABSTRACT: A protein homologous to the Escherichia coli MutY glycosylase, referred to as mtMYH, has been purified from calf liver mitochondria. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, western blot analysis as well as gel filtration chromatography predicted the molecular mass of the purified calf mtMYH to be 35-40 kDa. Gel mobility shift analysis showed that the purified mtMYH formed specific binding complexes with A/8-oxoG, G/8-oxoG and T/8-oxoG, weakly with C/8-oxoG, but not with A/G and A/C mismatches. The purified mtMYH exhibited DNA glycosylase activity removing adenine mispaired with G, C or 8-oxoG and weakly removing guanine mispaired with 8-oxoG. The mtMYH glycosylase activity was insensitive to high concentrations of NaCl and EDTA. The purified mtMYH cross-reacted with antibodies against both intact MutY and a peptide of human MutY homolog (hMYH). DNA glycosylase activity of mtMYH was inhibited by anti-MutY antibodies but not by anti-hMYH peptide antibodies. Together with the previously described mitochondrial MutT homolog (MTH1) and 8-oxoG glycosylase (OGG1, a functional MutM homolog), mtMYH can protect mitochondrial DNA from the mutagenic effects of 8-oxoG.
