Synthesis, Miscoding Specificity, and Thermodynamic Stability of Oligodeoxynucleotide Containing 8-Methyl-2‘-deoxyguanosine
摘要:
8-Methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-MedG) was synthesized by reacting dG under the methyl radical generating system and incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides using phosphoramidite techniques. The site-specifically modified oligodeoxynucleotide containing a single 8-MedG was then used as a template for primer extension reactions catalyzed by the 3'-5' exonuclease-free (exo(-)) Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I and mammalian DNA polymerase alpha. Primer extension catalyzed by the exo(-) Klenow fragment, readily passed the 8-MedG lesion in the template while that catalyzed by pol alpha was retarded opposite the lesion. The fully extended products formed during DNA synthesis were analyzed to quantify the miscoding specificities of 8-MedG;. Both DNA polymerases incorporated primarily dCMP, the correct base opposite the lesion, along with small amounts of incorporation of dAMP and dAMP. In addition, two-base deletion was observed only when the exo(-) Klenow fragment was used. The thermodynamic stability of 8-MedG in the duplex was also studied. The duplex containing 8-MedG:dG was more thermally and thermodynamically stable than that of dG:dG. The duplex containing 8-MedG:dA was more thermodynamically stable than that of dG:dA. We conclude that 8-MedG is a miscoding lesion and capable of generating G --> C and G --> T transversions and deletion in cells.
Structure-Activity Study of Oligodeoxynucleotides Which Inhibit Thrombin
摘要:
The 15-mer oligodeoxynucleotide GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG is a potent inhibitor of thrombin and it forms a stable, highly compact structure in solution. Deletions and substitutions by abasic residues, 2'-deoxyinosine, 7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine show that the structural features of the oligodeoxynucleotide are important for its biological activity.

releases tert-butoxyl radicals, which have been trapped by DMPO and EPR-spectrally identified. In aqueous solution, however, the fragmentation of the tert-butoxyl into methyl radicals prevails and the former radicals are of no direct consequence in the photooxidation of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) and pBR 322 DNA. The photooxidative damage of nucleic acids is caused by the oxyl radical species generated from

trans-N-deoxyribosylase was evaluated as an alternative method for deoxyribosylation in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleosides containing potentially mutagenic adducts. A crude enzyme preparation was isolated from Lactobacillus helveticus and compared to Escherichia coli purinenucleoside phosphorylase. trans-N-deoxyribosylase was more regioselective than purinenucleoside phosphorylase in the deoxyribosylation of

8,5'-Cyclopurine deoxynucleosides are unique tandem lesions containing an additional covalent bond between the base and the sugar. These mutagenic and genotoxic lesions are repaired only by nucleotide excision repair. The N-glycosidic (or C1'-N9) bond of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) derivatives is usually susceptible to acid hydrolysis, but even after cleavage of this bond of the cyclopurine lesions, the base would remain attached to the sugar. Here, the stability of the N-glycosidic bond and the products formed by formic acid hydrolysis of (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (S-cdG) were investigated. For comparison, the stability of the N-glycosidic bond of 8,5'-cyclo-2',5'-dideoxyguanosine (ddcdG), 8-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-Me-dG), 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-Oxo-dG), and dG was also studied. In various acid conditions, S-cdG and ddcdG exhibited similar stability to hydrolysis. Likewise, 8-Me-dG and dG showed comparable stability, but the half-lives of the cyclic dG lesions were at least 5-fold higher than those of dG or 8-Me-dG. NMR studies were carried out to investigate the products formed after the cleavage of the C1'-N9 bond. 2-Deoxyribose generated alpha and beta anomers of deoxyribopyranose and deoxyribopyranose oligomers following acid treatment. S-cdG gave alpha- and beta-deoxyribopyranose linked guanine as the major products, but alpha and beta anomers of deoxyribofuranose linked guanine and other products were also detected. The N-glycosidic bond of 8-Oxo-dG was found exceptionally stable in acid. Computational studies determined that both the protonation of the N7 atom and the rate constant in the bond breaking step control the overall kinetics of hydrolysis, but both varied for the molecules studied indicating a delicate balance between the two steps. Nevertheless, the computational approach successfully predicted the trend observed experimentally. For 8-Oxo-dG, the low pK(a) of O-8 and N3 prevented appreciable protonation, making the free energy for N-glycosidic bond cleavage in the subsequent step very high.
