An enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pa0142 (gi|9945972), that is able to catalyze the deamination of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) to uric acid has been identified for the first time. 8-Oxoguanine is formed by the oxidation of guanine residues within DNA by reactive oxygen species, and this lesion results in G:C to T:A transversions. The value of k{sub cat}/K{sub m} for the deamination of 8-oxoG by Pa0142 at pH 8.0 and 30 C is 2.0 x 10{sup 4} M{sup -1} s{sup -1}. This enzyme can also catalyze the deamination of isocystosine and guanine at rates that are approximately an order of magnitude lower. The three-dimensional structure of a homologous enzyme (gi|44264246) from the Sargasso Sea has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods to a resolution of 2.2 {angstrom} (PDB entry ). The enzyme folds as a ({beta}/{alpha}){sub 8} barrel and is a member of the amidohydrolase superfamily with a single zinc in the active site. This enzyme catalyzes the deamination of 8-oxoG with a k{sub cat}/K{sub m} value of 2.7 x 10{sup 5} M{sup -1} s{sup -1}. Computational docking of potential high-energy intermediates for the deamination reaction to the X-ray crystal structure suggests that active-site binding of 8-oxoG is facilitated by hydrogen-bond interactions from a conserved glutamine that follows {beta}-strand 1 with the carbonyl group at C6, a conserved tyrosine that follows {beta}-strand 2 with N7, and a conserved cysteine residue that follows {beta}-strand 4 with the carbonyl group at C8. A bioinformatic analysis of available protein sequences suggests that {approx}200 other bacteria possess an enzyme capable of catalyzing the deamination of 8-oxoG.
