Assay for alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) activity. Incubation with recombinant human AAG led to enzyme concentration- (A) and time-dependent (B) decreases in the amount of intact oligonucleotide substrate containing an I:T base pair following alkaline denaturation. For the time course analysis squares, circles and triangles indicate data generated with 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 units/well, respectively. Incubation with HepG2 nuclear extract (C) or peripheral blood mononuclear cell pooled extract (D) also caused concentration-dependent decreases in the amount of intact substrate retained in the wells. The apparent AAG activity was directly proportional to the sample concentration over the range 0–10 μg/well for HepG2 (E) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (F) nuclear extracts (r2 = 0.94 in both cases). Data shown represent the mean ± SD of triplicate technical replicates except for time course data for which duplicates were analyzed.
