The DNA repair enzyme NEIL1 is a DNA glycosylase that is involved in the first step of base excision repair (BER) of oxidatively induced DNA damage. NEIL1 exhibits a strong preference for excision of 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) from DNA with no specificity for 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua). In this study, we report on the significant accumulation of (5'R)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (R-cdA) and (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA) in liver DNA of neil1(-/-) mice that were not exposed to exogenous oxidative stress, while no accumulation of these lesions was observed in liver DNA from control or ogg1(-/-) mice. Significant accumulation of FapyGua was detected in liver DNA of both neil1(-/-) and ogg1(-/-) mice, while 8-OH-Gua accumulated in ogg1(-/-) only. Since R-cdA and S-cdA contain an 8,5'-covalent bond between the base and sugar moieties, they cannot be repaired by BER. There is evidence that these lesions are repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER). Since the accumulation of R-cdA and S-cdA in neil1(-/-) mice strongly points to the failure of their repair, these data suggest that NEIL1 is involved in NER of R-cdA and S-cdA. Further studies aimed at elucidating the mechanism of action of NEIL1 in NER are warranted.

D003839 Deoxyadenosines Adenosine molecules which can be substituted in any position, but are lacking one hydroxyl group in the ribose part of the molecule. Adenine Deoxyribonucleosides,Adenylyldeoxyribonucleosides,Deoxyadenosine Derivatives,Deoxyribonucleosides, Adenine,Derivatives, Deoxyadenosine
D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
