Résumé

Genomes of hyperthermophiles are facing a severe challenge due to increased deamination rates of cytosine induced by high-temperature, which could be counteracted by base excision repair mediated by uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) or other repair pathways. Our previous work has shown that the two UDGs (Tba UDG247 and Tba UDG194) encoded by the genome of the hyperthermophilic euryarchaeon Thermococcus barophilus Ch5 can remove uracil from DNA at high temperature. Herein, we provide evidence that Tba UDG247 is a novel bifunctional glycosylase which can excise uracil from DNA and further cleave the phosphodiester bond of the generated apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site, which has never been described to date. In addition to cleaving uracil-containing DNA, Tba UDG247 can also cleave APcontaining ssDNA although at lower efficiency, thereby suggesting that the enzyme might be involved in the repair of AP site in DNA. Kinetic analyses showed that Tba UDG247 displays a faster rate for uracil excision than for AP cleavage, thus suggesting that cleaving AP site by the enzyme is a rate-limiting step for its bifunctionality. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Tba UDG247 is clustered on a separate branch distant from all the reported UDGs. Overall, we designated Tba UDG247 as the prototype of a novel family of bifunctional UDGs.
