| Abstract | A search for candidates for a functional homologue of Escherichia coli MutT in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was made in the NCBI-BLAST database using the Nudix box, a short amino acid sequence conserved among E.coli MutT, Pseudomonoas vulgaris MutT, and human, rat and mouse MTH1. Among five candidates, we focused on the open reading frame YLR151c, because it had a region with ∼76% similarity to the N-terminal half of MutT including the Nudix box. We thus evaluated the ability of YLR151c as a functional homologue of E.coli MutT in S.cerevisiae. Expression of YLR151c was able to suppress the transversion from A:T to C:G caused by misincorporation of the oxidized nucleotide 8-oxo-dGTP in the E.coli mutT-deficient strain. The disruption of the YLR151c in yeast strain caused ∼14-fold increase in the frequency of spontaneous mutation compared to the wild type. Additionally, biochemical analysis indicated that GST-YLR151c fusion protein possessed pyrophosphatase activity for both 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine triphosphate (8-oxo-dGTP) and 1,2-dihydro-2-hydroxy-2′-deoxyadenosine triphosphate (2-OH-dATP). The specific activity of GST-YLR151c for 8-oxo-dGTP was 5.6 × 10−3 μM−1 s−1, which was similar to that of RibA, a backup enzyme for MutT in E.coli, but was 150-fold lower than that of hMTH1. From these results, we conclude that YLR151c has an ability to prevent spontaneous mutagenesis via sanitization of oxidized nucleotides, and that it may be the functional homologue of E.coli MutT in S.cerevisiae. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
