Structural and Functional Analysis of human lung cancer risk associated hOGG1 variant Ser326Cys in DNA repair gene by molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract

Oxidative damaged DNA base lesions are repaired through human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase gene (hOGG1) mediated pathways. A recent report based on the meta-analysis has suggested that the DNA Repair Gene hOGG1 variant Ser326Cys [3p26.2; allele S/C in nucleotide position αHelix2 Ser⇒Cys326] was associated with Lung Cancer risk in Caucasian population will alter the level Zhong et al., 2012. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been any such comprehensive in-silico investigation that validates the functional and structural impact of non-synonymous Lung Cancer Risk Associated Protein Domain (LCRAPD) mutation Ser326Cys (rs1052133) by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation approach following prediction of hOGG1 protein before and after the mutation. Further to the native and mutant protein structures, the amino acid residue and its secondary structure were observed through a solvent accessibility model for protein stability confirmation at the point of mutation. Taken together, this study suggests that the protein functional and structural studies could be a reasonable approach for investigating the impact of nsSNPs in future studies. In addition, 4295 patients samples incorporate with the analysis that genomic data types from cBioPortal. In the result, 4295 cases (91.5%) had alterations in all genes but the frequency of alterations in our targeted hOGG1 gene was shown with and without case alteration in the ratio (Logrank Test P-Value: 0.670) Kaplan-Meier by the number of patients at risk of the survival function.
