class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the cleavage of an AP site 3' of the baseless site by a beta-lyase mechanism, leaving an unsaturated aldehyde, termed a 3'-(4-hydroxy-5-phospho-2-pentenal) residue, and a 5'-phosphate. [PMID:1698278, RHEA:66592]

Class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity is a crucial molecular function involved in the repair of damaged DNA. DNA can be damaged by various factors, including exposure to radiation, reactive oxygen species, and environmental mutagens. One common type of damage is the loss of a purine or pyrimidine base from the DNA backbone, resulting in an abasic site (also known as an AP site). These AP sites disrupt the DNA structure and can lead to mutations or cell death if left unrepaired.

Class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonucleases are a family of enzymes that specifically recognize and cleave the phosphodiester backbone of DNA at or near AP sites. Their primary function is to remove the damaged portion of the DNA, providing a free 3'-hydroxyl group for subsequent DNA repair processes.

The mechanism of action of Class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonucleases involves the following steps:

1. **Recognition of the AP site:** The enzyme recognizes the AP site through interactions with the distorted DNA structure caused by the missing base.
2. **Cleavage of the phosphodiester backbone:** The enzyme cleaves the phosphodiester bond 5' to the AP site, generating a 5'-deoxyribose phosphate group and a 3'-hydroxyl group.
3. **Release of the damaged DNA fragment:** The enzyme releases the damaged DNA fragment, leaving a single-stranded gap in the DNA.

This process allows for the removal of the damaged DNA segment, providing a substrate for other repair pathways, such as base excision repair (BER) or nucleotide excision repair (NER). These pathways can then fill the gap with the correct nucleotide sequence, restoring the integrity of the DNA.

In summary, Class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonucleases play a vital role in maintaining genomic stability by recognizing and removing damaged DNA segments containing AP sites, ensuring accurate DNA replication and preventing mutations.'

Zidovudine: A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by an azido group. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA during reverse transcription. It improves immunologic function, partially reverses the HIV-induced neurological dysfunction, and improves certain other clinical abnormalities associated with AIDS. Its principal toxic effect is dose-dependent suppression of bone marrow, resulting in anemia and leukopenia.
