Substrate Specificity of RdgB Protein, a Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate Pyrophosphohydrolase

We have previously reported the identification of a DNA repair system in Escherichia coli for the prevention of the stable incorporation of noncanonical purine dNTPs into DNA. We hypothesized that the RdgB protein is active on 2′-deoxy-N-6-hydroxylaminopurine triphosphate (dHAPTP) as well as deoxyinosine triphosphate. Here we show that RdgB protein and RdgB homologs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mouse, and human all possess deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase activity and that all four RdgB homologs have high specificity for dHAPTP and deoxyinosine triphosphate compared with the four canonical dNTPs and several other noncanonical (d)NTPs. Kinetic analysis reveals that the major source of the substrate specificity lies in changes in Km for the various substrates. of in coli that the incorporation of and noncanonical purine into DNA. a for the RdgB homologs in and purine dNTPs from incorporation into DNA.
