Abstract

Recently, we constructed a hybrid thymine DNA glycosylase (hyTDG) by linking a 29-amino acid sequence from the human thymine DNA glycosylase with the catalytic domain of DNA mismatch glycosylase (MIG) from , increasing the overall activity of the glycosylase. Previously, it was shown that a tyrosine to lysine (Y126K) mutation in the catalytic site of MIG could convert the glycosylase activity to a lyase activity. We made the corresponding mutation to our hyTDG to create a hyTDG-lyase (Y163K). Here, we report that the hybrid mutant has robust lyase activity, has activity over a broad temperature range, and is active under multiple buffer conditions. The hyTDG-lyase cleaves an abasic site similar to endonuclease III (Endo III). In the presence of β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME), the abasic site unsaturated aldehyde forms a β-ME adduct. The hyTDG-lyase maintains its preference for cleaving opposite G, as with the hyTDG glycosylase, and the hyTDG-lyase and hyTDG glycosylase can function in tandem to cleave T:G mismatches. The hyTDG-lyase described here should be a valuable tool in studies examining DNA damage and repair. Future studies will utilize these enzymes to quantify T:G mispairs in cells, tissues, and genomic DNA using next-generation sequencing.
