Repair processes on deoxyribonucleic acid

Many cells have the ability to recognize and eliminate damage to their DNA, particularly thymine dimers formed by UV light. The elimination of this damage may be achieved by enzymatic, light-dependent cleavage of the dimers into the monomers (photoreactivation) or more frequently by dark repair, in which the damaged part is completely removed from the, DNA. In this repair process, the DNA is incised by an endonuclease in the immediate vicinity of the thymine dimers. Oligonucleotides containing the thymine dimer are removed hydrolytically from the DNA by the 5→3′ exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I (Kornberg enzyme). The resulting gaps are immediately closed by a de novo synthesis with the aid of the same DNA polymerase I, the complementary strand serving as a template (excision repair). The final step is the formation of the phosphodiester bond between the newly synthesized DNA fragment and the old DNA strand by a DNA ligase. Xeroderma pigmentosum patients lack the endonuclease as a result of a genetic defect; they therefore cannot eliminate thymine dimers from their DNA, and are extremely sensitive to sunlight. All information so far suggests that genetic recombination and DNA repair are performed by the same enzyme system.     

Selective Stabilization of Abasic Site‐Containing DNA by Insertion of Sterically Demanding Biaryl Ligands

Biaryl derivatives that consist of one DNA‐intercalating unit and a sterically demanding component exhibit a specific behavior towards abasic site‐containing DNA (AP‐DNA) as determined by thermal DNA denaturation experiments, spectrometric titrations and CD spectroscopic analysis. Specifically, these ligands strongly stabilize AP‐DNA towards dissociation, whereas they do not or only marginally affect the melting temperature of regular duplex DNA.     

Dissecting the differences between the alpha and beta anomers of the oxidative DNA lesion FaPydG

The oxidative DNA lesion, FaPydG rapidly anomerizes to form a mixture of the alpha and beta anomer. To investigate the mutagenic potential of both forms, we prepared stabilized bioisosteric analogues of both configurational isomers and incorporated them into oligonucleotides. These were subsequently used for thermodynamic melting-point studies and for primer-extension experiments. While the beta compound, in agreement with earlier data, prefers cytidine as the pairing partner, the alpha compound is not able form a stable base pair with any natural base. In primer-extension studies with the high-fidelity polymerase Bst Pol I, the polymerase was able to read through the lesion. The beta compound showed no strong mutagenic potential. The alpha compound, in contrast, strongly destabilized DNA duplexes and also blocked all of the tested DNA polymerases, including two low-fidelity polymerases of the Y-family.     

Synthesis and pairing properties of alpha-tricyclo-DNA

We describe the synthesis of the phosphoramidite building blocks of alpha-tricyclo-DNA (alpha-tc-DNA) covering all four natural bases, starting from the already known corresponding alpha-tc-nucleosides. These building blocks were used for the preparation of three alpha-tc-oligonucleotide 10-mers representing a homopurine, a homopyrimidine, and a mixed purine/pyrimidine base sequence. The base-pairing properties with complementary parallel and antiparallel oriented DNA and RNA were studied by UV-melting analysis and CD spectroscopy. We found that alpha-tc-DNA binds preferentially to parallel nucleic acid complements through Watson-Crick duplex formation, with a preference for RNA over DNA. In comparison with natural DNA, alpha-tc-DNA shows equal to enhanced affinity to RNA and also pairs to antiparallel DNA or RNA complements, although with much lower affinity. In the mixed-base sequence these antiparallel duplexes are of the reversed Watson-Crick type, while in the homopurine/homopyrimidine sequences Hoogsteen and/or reversed Hoogsteen pairing is observed. Antiparallel duplex formation of two alpha-tc-oligonucleotides was also observed, although the thermal stability of this duplex was surprisingly low. The base-pairing properties of alpha-tc-DNA are discussed in the context of alpha-DNA, alpha-RNA, and alpha-LNA.     

Nick sealing by T4 DNA ligase on a modified DNA template: tethering a functional molecule on D-threoninol

Efficient DNA nick sealing catalyzed by T4 DNA ligase was carried out on a modified DNA template in which an intercalator such as azobenzene had been introduced. The intercalator was attached to a D-threoninol linker inserted into the DNA backbone. Although the structure of the template at the point of ligation was completely different from that of native DNA, two ODNs could be connected with yields higher than 90% in most cases. A systematic study of sequence dependence demonstrated that the ligation efficiency varied greatly with the base pairs adjacent to the azobenzene moiety. Interestingly, when the introduced azobenzene was photoisomerized to the cis form on subjection to UV light (320-380 nm), the rates of ligation were greatly accelerated for all sequences investigated. These unexpected ligations might provide a new approach for the introduction of functional molecules into long DNA strands in cases in which direct PCR cannot be used because of blockage of DNA synthesis by the introduced functional molecule. The biological significance of this unexpected enzymatic action is also discussed on the basis of kinetic analysis.     

Energetics,Conformation, and Recognition of DNA Duplexes Modified by Methylated Analogues of [PtCl(dien)]+

Monodentate DNA binding of [PtCl(dien)]⁺ (dien=diethylenetriamine) complexes may considerably affect the biophysical properties of DNA and consequently downstream cellular processes as a result of a large increase in the bulkiness of the nonleaving ligand by multiple methylation (see illustration).
