Abstract
Most spontaneous damage to bases in DNA is corrected through the action of the base-excision DNA repair pathway. Base excision repair is initiated by DNA glycosylases, lesion-specific enzymes that intercept aberrant bases in DNA and catalyze their excision. How such proteins accomplish the feat of catalyzing no fewer than five sequential reaction steps using a single active site has been unknown. To help answer this, we report the structure of a trapped catalytic intermediate in DNA repair by human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase. This structure and supporting biochemical results reveal that the enzyme sequesters the excised lesion base and exploits it as a cofactor to participate in catalysis. To our knowledge, the present example represents the first documented case of product-assisted catalysis in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.

Figure 2. Close-up view of the hOGG1 active site region. a, Stereo view showing a A^48-weighted 2F[o] - F[c] electron density map modeled at 1 , with elements of the protein and DNA in ball-and-stick models. The oxoG is red; Lys249, purple; DNA, gold; and the C-N bond between Lys249 of hOGG1 and C1' of the substrate, pink. b, Least-squares superposition of the active site region of the borohydride-trapped complex (same color scheme as in (a), except side chains are shown in teal) with that of the recognition complex with the K249Q mutation and an intact oxo-dG lesion21 (PDB entry 1EBM) (gray except Gln249, which is green).

Figure 3. Interactions of the sequestered oxoG base with other components in the active site of the borohydride-trapped complex. a, Ball-and-stick representation of the X-ray structure. Color scheme is as in Fig. 2. b, Schematic depiction of the oxoG triangulated in position over the three atoms that are involved in acid/base chemistry during the -lyase cascade (N , O4' and C2'). Hydrogen bonding interactions are denoted by dashes. Dots indicate the distance between N9 and C2'. Note the distances between the N9 of oxoG and the O4' of the substrate sugar and the N of Lys249 in (a), indicative of hydrogen-bonding interactions. Also note the disposition of the proS and proR protons (denoted S and R, respectively) on C2' with respect to N9 and O8. The helix capping interaction between the side chain of Asp268 and the N terminus of helix M is clearly visible in (a).
