AB - Mismatch uracil DNA glycosylase (Mug) fromEscherichia coli is an initiating enzyme in thebase-excision repair pathway. As with other DNAglycosylases, the abasic product is potentiallymore harmful than the initial lesion. Since Mug isknown to bind its product tightly, inhibitingenzyme turnover, understanding how Mug bindsDNA is of significance when considering how Muginteracts with downstream enzymes in the baseexcisionrepair pathway. We have demonstrateddifferential binding modes of Mug between its substrateand abasic DNA product using both band shiftand fluorescence anisotropy assays. Mug binds itsproduct cooperatively, and a stoichiometric analysisof DNA binding, catalytic activity and saltdependenceindicates that dimer formation is offunctional significance in both catalytic activity andproduct binding. This is the first report ofcooperativity in the uracil DNA glycosylase superfamilyof enzymes, and forms the basis of productinhibition in Mug. It therefore provides a new perspectiveon abasic site protection and the findingsare discussed in the context of downstream lesionprocessing and enzyme communication in the baseexcision repair pathway.
