This study investigates the role of human mitochondrial EXOG (hEXOG) in the repair of oxidative damage on mitochondrial DNA. The research shows that hEXOG has strong 5'-dRP removal ability and can function on various abasic sites. The study also provides structural insights into how hEXOG sets the order of repair reactions and inhibits off-pathway reactions.
Most oxidative damage on mitochondrial DNA is corrected by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. However, the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction-deoxyribose phosphate (dRP) removal-in the multienzymatic reaction pathway has not been completely determined in mitochondria. Also unclear is how a logical order of enzymatic reactions is ensured. Here, we present structural and enzymatic studies showing that human mitochondrial EXOG (hEXOG) exhibits strong 5 '-dRP removal ability. We show that, unlike the canonical dRP lyases that act on a single substrate, hEXOG functions on a variety of abasic sites, including 5 '-dRP, its oxidized product deoxyribonolactone (dL), and the stable synthetic analogue tetrahy-drofuran (THF). We determined crystal structures of hEXOG complexed with a THF-containing DNA and with a partial gapped DNA to 2.9 and 2.1 angstrom resolutions, respectively. The structures illustrate that hEXOG uses a controlled 5 '-exonuclease activity to cleave the third phosphodiester bond away from the 5 '-abasic site. This study provides a structural basis for hEXOG's broad spectrum of substrates. Further, we show that hEXOG can set the order of BER reactions by generating an ideal substrate for the subsequent reaction in BER and inhibit off-pathway reactions.
