Abstract
Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) is a DNA repair enzyme that excises oxidized purines from damaged DNA. The Schiff base intermediate formed during this reaction between Escherichia coli Fpg and DNA was trapped by reduction with sodium borohydride, and the structure of the resulting covalently cross-linked complex was determined at a 2.1-A resolution. Fpg is a bilobal protein with a wide, positively charged DNA-binding groove. It possesses a conserved zinc finger and a helix-two turn-helix motif that participate in DNA binding. The absolutely conserved residues Lys-56, His-70, Asn-168, and Arg-258 form hydrogen bonds to the phosphodiester backbone of DNA, which is sharply kinked at the lesion site. Residues Met-73, Arg-109, and Phe-110 are inserted into the DNA helix, filling the void created by nucleotide eversion. A deep hydrophobic pocket in the active site is positioned to accommodate an everted base. Structural analysis of the Fpg-DNA complex reveals essential features of damage recognition and the catalytic mechanism of Fpg.

Fig. 6. Scheme of principal steps in the sequence of reactions catalyzed by Fpg, showing catalytically important amino acid residues. Nucleophilic attack at C1' and protonation at O4' (a) lead to base displacement and deoxyribose ring opening. A Schiff base involving Pro-1 is formed with O4' stabilized by hydrogen bonding to Glu-2. b, following abstraction of the 2' proton of deoxyribose by a general base, Lys-56 protonates the 3'-phosphate leading to -elimination (c). Deprotonation of C4', now vinilogous to C1', is followed by protonation of the 5'-phosphate by Arg-258 and the second -elimination event (c).
