RNA modifications are essential for proper RNA processing, quality control, and maturation steps. In the last decade, some eukaryotic DNA repair enzymes have been shown to have an ability to recognize and process modified RNA substrates and thereby contribute to RNA surveillance. Single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase 1 (SMUG1) is a base excision repair enzyme that not only recognizes and removes uracil and oxidized pyrimidines from DNA but is also able to process modified RNA substrates. SMUG1 interacts with the pseudouridine synthase dyskerin (DKC1), an enzyme essential for the correct assembly of small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing. Here, we review rRNA modifications and RNA quality control mechanisms in general and discuss the specific function of SMUG1 in rRNA metabolism. Cells lacking SMUG1 have elevated levels of immature rRNA molecules and accumulation of 5-hydroxymethyluridine (5hmU) in mature rRNA. SMUG1 may be required for post-transcriptional regulation and quality control of rRNAs, partly by regulating rRNA and stability.

The human checkpoint sensor and alternative clamp Rad9–Rad1–Hus1 can interact with and specifically stimulate DNA ligase I. The very recently described interactions of Rad9–Rad1–Hus1 with MutY DNA glycosylase, DNA polymerase β and Flap endonuclease 1 now complete our view that the long-patch base excision machinery is an important target of the Rad9–Rad1–Hus1 complex, thus enhancing the quality control of DNA.

OsO4 selectively forms thymine glycol lesions in DNA. In the past, OsO4-treated DNA has been used as a substrate in studies of DNA repair utilizing base-excision repair enzymes such as DNA glycosylases. There is, however, no information available on the chemical identity of other OsO4-induced base lesions in DNA. A complete knowledge of such DNA lesions may be of importance for repair studies. Using a methodology developed recently for characterization of oxidative base damage in DNA, we provide evidence for the formation of cytosine glycol and 5,6-dihydroxycytosine moieties, in addition to thymine glycol, in DNA on treatment with OsO4. For this purpose, samples of OsO4-treated DNA were hydrolysed with formic acid, then trimethylsilylated and analysed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In addition to thymine glycol, 5-hydroxyuracil (isobarbituric acid), 5-hydroxycytosine and 5,6-dihydroxyuracil (isodialuric acid or dialuric acid) were identified in OsO4-treated DNA. It is suggested that 5-hydroxyuracil was formed by formic acid-induced deamination and dehydration of cytosine glycol, which was the actual oxidation product of the cytosine moiety in DNA. 5-Hydroxycytosine obviously resulted from dehydration of cytosine glycol, and 5,6-dihydroxyuracil from deamination of 5,6-dihydroxycytosine. This scheme was supported by the presence of 5-hydroxyuracil, uracil glycol and 5,6-dihydroxyuracil in OsO4-treated cytosine. Treatment of OsO4-treated cytosine with formic acid caused the complete conversion of uracil glycol into 5-hydroxyuracil. The implications of these findings relative to studies of DNA repair are discussed.
