Oxygen radicals damage chromosomal DNA causing cell death and inducing mutations.
Among the various classes of DNA damage caused by oxygen radicals, an oxidized form of guanine base (8-oxoguanine) appears to be important as it can pair with cytosine and adenine and G:C to T:A transversion mutation occurs.
A significant amount of 8-OxoG is formed in the chromosomal DNA of mammalian cells, with most damaged nucleotides excised from the DNA and excreted in the urine.
Along with 8-oxoG being present in oxidatively damaged DNA, 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dGTP) is formed in the nucleotide pool during normal cellular metabolism and following oxidative stress.
The 8-oxo-dGTP nucleotide can be incorporated in DNA during polymerization and can result in a mispairing unless repaired.
MTH converts 8-oxo-dGTP in the nucleotide pool to the monophosphate and prevents the misincorporation of 8-oxo-dGTP into DNA.
MTH also recognizes 8-oxo-rGTP, which could incorporate into RNA during gene transcription leading to missense or nonsense protein production.
