Correlation between Charge Transport and Base Excision Repair in the MutY–DNA Glycosylase
Article
  • Dec 2020
Experimental evidence suggests that DNA-mediated redox signaling between high-potential [Fe4S4] proteins is relevant to DNA replication and repair processes, and protein-mediated charge transfer (CT) between [Fe4S4] clusters and nucleic acids is a fundamental process of the signaling and repair mechanisms. We analyzed the dominant CT pathways in th...

... In support of these ideas, previous work has shown that the Fe-S cluster is more easily oxidized when MutY is bound to DNA indicating that alterations resulting from DNA binding impact the Fe-S cluster environment and properties (49). The mechanism for communication seems to work in both directions as different oxidation states of the cluster appear to be transmitted to the active site and influence adenine excision (50). ...
