Abstract
Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a ubiquitous nuclear enzyme that plays multifaceted roles in the cellular response to DNA damage. Previous studies demonstrated that PARP1 incises the most frequently formed DNA lesion, the apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site, and in the process is trapped as a DNA-PARP1 cross-link at the 3'-terminus. The covalent linkage was proposed to be composed of a secondary amine resulting from formal reductive amination of an initially formed incision product. PARP1 cysteine residues were proposed to reduce the initially formed Schiff base. Here, we report evidence to support a different mechanism in which DNA-PARP1 cross-links result from cysteine addition to incised AP sites.

Abstract
Despite the negative charge of the DNA backbone, acidic residues (Asp/Glu) commonly participate in the base readout, with a strong preference for cytosine. In fact, in the solved DNA/protein structures, cytosine is recognized almost exclusively by Asp/Glu through a direct hydrogen bond, while at the same time, adenine, regardless of its amino group, shows no propensity for Asp/Glu. Here, we analyzed the contribution of Asp/Glu to sequence-specific DNA binding using classical and ab initio simulations of selected transcription factors and found that it is governed by a fine balance between the repulsion from backbone phosphates and attractive interactions with cytosine. Specifically, Asp/Glu lower the affinity for noncytosine sites and thus act as negative selectors preventing off-target binding. At cytosine-containing sites, the favorable contribution does not merely rely on the formation of a single H-bond but usually requires the presence of positive potential generated by multiple cytosines, consistently with the observed excess of cytosine in the target sites. Finally, we show that the preference of Asp/Glu for cytosine over adenine is a result of the repulsion from the adenine imidazole ring and a tendency of purine-purine dinucleotides to adopt the BII conformation.

In vitro eradication of abasic site-mediated DNA-peptide/protein cross-links by Escherichia coli long-patch base excision repair. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102055.

Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP or abasic) sites are among the most abundant DNA lesions. Numerous proteins within different organisms ranging from bacteria to human have been demonstrated to react with AP sites to form covalent Schiff base DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs). These DPCs are unstable due to their spontaneous hydrolysis, but the half-lives of these cross-links can be as long as several hours. Such long-lived DPCs are extremely toxic due to their large sizes, which physically block DNA replication. Therefore, these adducts must be promptly eradicated to maintain genome integrity. Herein, we used in vitro reconstitution experiments with chemically synthesized, stable, and site-specific Schiff base AP-peptide/protein cross-link analogs to demonstrate for the first time that this type of DPC can be repaired by Escherichia coli (E. coli) long-patch base excision repair. We demonstrated that the repair process requires a minimum of three enzymes and five consecutive steps, including: (1) 5′-DNA strand incision of the DPC by endonuclease IV; (2 to 4) strand-displacement DNA synthesis, removal of the 5′-deoxyribose phosphate-peptide/protein adduct-containing flap, and gap-filling DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase I; and (5) strand ligation by a ligase. We further demonstrated that endonuclease IV plays a major role in incising an AP-peptide cross-link within E. coli cell extracts. We also report that eradicating model AP-protein (11.2–36.1 kDa) DPCs is less efficient than that of an AP-peptide10mer cross-link, supporting the emerging model that proteolysis is likely required for efficient DPC repair.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) between DNA epigenetic mark 5-formylC and lysine residues of histone proteins spontaneously form in human cells. Such conjugates are likely to influence chromatin structure and mediate DNA replication, transcription, and repair, but are challenging to study due to their reversible nature. Here we report the construction of site specific, hydrolytically stable DPCs between 5fdC in DNA and K4 of histone H3 and an investigation of their effects on DNA replication. Our approach employs oxime ligation, allowing for site-specific conjugation of histones to DNA under physiological conditions. Primer extension experiments revealed that histone H3-DNA crosslinks blocked DNA synthesis by hPol η polymerase, but were bypassed following proteolytic processing.

Abstract
DNA-peptide (DpCs) and DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are DNA lesions formed when polypeptides and nuclear proteins become covalently trapped on DNA strands. DNA-protein cross-links are of enormous size and hence pose challenges to cell survival by blocking DNA replication, transcription, and repair. However, DPCs can undergo proteolytic degradation via various pathways to give shorter polypeptide chains (DpCs). The resulting DpC lesions are efficiently bypassed by translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases like κ, η, δ, etc., although polymerase bypass efficiency as well as correct base insertion depends heavily on size, sequence context, and position of peptides in DpCs. This chapter explores various synthetic methods to generate these lesions including detailed experimental procedures for the construction of DpCs and DPCs via reductive amination and oxime ligation. Further we describe biochemical experiments to investigate the effects of these lesions on DNA polymerase activity and fidelity.

Abstract
Many bioconjugation strategies for DNA oligonucleotides and antibodies suffer limitations, such as site-specificity, stoichiometry and hydrolytic instability of the conjugates, which makes them unsuitable for biological applications. Here, we report a new platform for the preparation of DNA-antibody bioconjugates with a simple benzoylacrylic acid pentafluorophenyl ester reagent. Benzoylacrylic-labelled oligonucleotides prepared with this reagent can be site-specifically conjugated to a range of proteins and antibodies through accessible cysteine residues. The homogeneity of the prepared DNA-antibody bioconjugates was confirmed by a new LC-MS protocol and the bioconjugate probes were used in fluorescence or super-resolution microscopy cell imaging experiments. This work demonstrates the versatility and robustness of our bioconjugation protocol that gives site-specific, well-defined and plasma-stable DNA-antibody bioconjugates for biological applications.

Abstract
Linear or branched 1,3-diketone-linked thymidine 5'-O-mono- and triphosphate were synthesized through CuAAC click reaction of diketone-alkynes with 5-azidomethyl-dUMP or -dUTP. The triphosphates were good substrates for KOD XL DNA polymerase in primer extension synthesis of modified DNA. The nucleotide bearing linear 3,5-dioxohexyl group (HDO) efficiently reacted with arginine-containing peptides to form stable pyrimidine-linked conjugates, whereas the branched 2-acetyl-3-oxo-butyl (PDO) group was not reactive. Reaction with Lys or a terminal amino group formed enamine adducts that were prone to hydrolysis. This reactive HDO modification in DNA was used for bioconjugations and cross-linking with Arg-containing peptides or proteins (e.g. histones).

Abstract
2-Formyl-2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dCHO ATP) was synthesized and tested as a substrate in enzymatic synthesis of DNA modified in the minor groove with a reactive aldehyde group. The multistep synthesis of dCHO ATP was based on the preparation of protected 2-dihydroxyethyl-2'-deoxyadenosine intemediate, which was triphosphorylated and converted to aldehyde through oxidative cleavage. The dCHO ATP triphosphate was a moderate substrate for KOD XL DNA polymerase, and was used for enzymatic synthesis of some sequences using primer extension (PEX). On the other hand, longer sequences (31-mer) with higher number of modifications, or sequences with modifications at adjacent positions did not give full extension. Single-nucleotide extension followed by PEX was used for site-specific incorporation of one aldehyde-linked adenosine into a longer 49-mer sequence. The reactive formyl group was used for cross-linking with peptides and proteins using reductive amination and for fluorescent labelling through oxime formation with an AlexaFluor647-linked hydroxylamine.

Abstract
Organometallic reagents enable practical strategies for bioconjugation. Innovations in the design of water-soluble ligands and the enhancement of reaction rates have allowed for chemoselective cross-coupling reactions of peptides and proteins to be carried out in water. There are currently no organometallic-based methods for oligonucleotide bioconjugation to other biomolecules. Here we report bifunctional palladium(II)-oxidative addition complexes (OACs) as reagents for high-yielding oligonucleotide bioconjugation reactions. These bifunctional OACs react chemoselectively with amine-modified oligonucleotides to generate the first isolable, bench stable oligonucleotide-palladium(II) OACs. These complexes undergo site-selective C-S arylation with a broad range of native thiol-containing biomolecules at low micromolar concentrations in under one hour. This approach provided oligonucleotide-peptide, oligonucleotide-protein, oligonucleotide-small molecule, and oligonucleotide-oligonucleotide conjugates in >80 % yield and afforded conjugation of multiple copies of oligonucleotides onto a monoclonal antibody.

Abstract
Selective chemical reactions of biomolecules are some of the important tools for investigations by biological studies. We have developed the selective crosslinking reactions to form covalent bonds to DNA or RNA using crosslinking oligonucleotides (CFO) bearing reactive bases. In this study, we designed the cross-linkable 4-amino-6-oxo-2-vinyltriazine derivative with an acyclic linker (acyAOVT) to react with the nucleic acids-binding protein based on our previous results. We hypothesized that the acyAOVT base would form a stable base pair with guanine by three hydrogen bonds at the positions of the vinyl group in the duplex DNA major groove, and the vinyl group can react with the nucleophilic species in the proximity, for example, the cysteine or lysine residue in the nucleic acids-binding protein. The synthesized oligonucleotides bearing the acyAOVT derivative showed a higher reactivity than that of the corresponding pyrimidine derivative without one nitrogen. The duplex containing acyAOVT-guanine (G) formed complexes with Hha1 DNMT even in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. We expect that our system will provide a useful tool for the molecular study of nucleic acids-binding proteins.

Abstract
Chemo- and site-specific modifications in oligonucleotides have wide applicability as mechanistic probes in chemical biology. However, methods that label specific sites in nucleic acids are scarce, especially for labeling DNA/RNA from biological or enzymatic sources rather than synthetic ones. Here we have employed a classical reaction, reductive amination, to selectively functionalize the N2-amine of guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine monophosphate (GMP/dGMP). This method specifically modifies guanine in DNA and RNA oligonucleotides, while leaving the other nucleobases unaffected. Using this approach, we have successfully incorporated a reactive handle chemoselectively into nucleic acids for further functionalization and downstream applications.

Abstract
Light-activated ("caged") oligonucleotides provide a strategy for modulating the activity of antisense oligos, siRNA, miRNA, aptamers, DNAzymes, and mRNA-capturing probes with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, the near-UV and visible wavelengths that promote these bond-breaking reactions poorly penetrate living tissue, which limits some biological applications. To address this issue, we describe the first example of a protease-activated oligonucleotide probe, capable of reporting on caspase-3 during cellular apoptosis. The 2'-F RNA-peptide substrate-peptide nucleic acid (PNA) hairpin structure was generated in 30% yield in a single bioconjugation step.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are unusually bulky DNA adducts that block the access of proteins to DNA and interfere with gene expression, replication, and repair. We previously described DPC formation at the N7-guanine position of DNA in human cells treated with antitumor nitrogen mustards and platinum compounds and have shown that DPCs can form endogenously at DNA epigenetic mark 5-formyl-dC. However, insufficient information is available about the effects of these structurally distinct DPCs on transcription. In the present work, we employ a combination of in vitro assays, mass spectrometry, and molecular dynamics simulations to examine the ability of phage T7 RNA polymerase to bypass DPCs conjugated to the C7 position of 7-deaza-dG and the C5 position of dC. These model adducts represent endogenous DPCs induced by exposure to antitumor drugs and formed at epigenetics DNA marks, respectively. Our results reveal that DPCs containing full-length proteins significantly inhibit in vitro transcription by T7 RNA polymerase, while short DNA-peptide cross-links (DpCs) are bypassed. DpCs conjugated to the C7 position of 7-deaza-dG are transcribed with high fidelity, while the same polypeptides attached to the C5 position of dC induce transcription errors. Molecular dynamics simulations of DpCs conjugated either to the C5 atom of dC or the C7 position of 7-deaza-dG on the template strand in T7 RNA polymerase explain how the conjugated peptide can be accommodated in the narrow major groove of the DNA-RNA hybrid and how the modified dC can form a stable mismatch with the incoming ATP in the polymerase active site, allowing for transcriptional mutagenesis.

Abstract
Squaramate‐linked 2′‐deoxycytidine 5′‐O‐triphosphate was synthesized and found to be good substrate for KOD XL DNA polymerase in primer extension or PCR synthesis of modified DNA. The resulting squaramate‐linked DNA reacts with primary amines to form a stable diamide linkage. This reaction was used for bioconjugations of DNA with Cy5 and Lys‐containing peptides. Squaramate‐linked DNA formed covalent cross‐links with histone proteins. This reactive nucleotide has potential for other bioconjugations of nucleic acids with amines, peptides or proteins without need of any external reagent.

Abstract
This article describes procedures to synthesize 2'-OMe-RNA modified with cross-linkable 2-amino-7-deaza-7-propynyl-6-vinylpurine (ADpVP) and preparation of the RNA-crosslinking experiment in vitro. All synthesis steps yield the desired compound in moderate or high yield without expensive chemical reagents or specific devices. The crosslink-active form of modified RNA can also be purified by commonly used reversed-phase HPLC, can be stored at -80°C after lyophilization for a few days, and is ready to use for crosslinking experiments. This crosslink-active RNA can efficiently form covalent bonds with complementary RNA in a sequence-specific manner. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
A series of 2-alkylamino-2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphates (dATP) was prepared and found to be substrates for the Therminator DNA polymerase, which incorporated only one modified nucleotide into the primer. Using a template encoding for two consecutive adenines, conditions were found for incorporation of either one or two modified nucleotides. In all cases, addition of a mixture of natural dNTPs led to primer extension resulting in site-specific single modification of DNA in the minor groove. The allylamino-substituted DNA was used for the thiol-ene addition, whereas the propargylamino-DNA for the CuAAC click reaction was used to label the DNA with a fluorescent dye in the minor groove. The approach was used to construct FRET probes for detection of oligonucleotides.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are super-bulky DNA adducts induced by common chemotherapeutic agents, reactive oxygen species, and aldehydes, and also formed endogenously as part of epigenetic regulation. Despite their presence in most cells and tissues, the biological effects of DPCs are poorly understood due to the difficulty of constructing site-specific DNA-protein conjugates. In the present work, a new approach of conjugating proteins to DNA using oxime ligation was used to generate model DPCs structurally analogous to lesions formed in cells. In our approach, proteins and peptides containing an unnatural oxy-Lys amino acid were cross-linked to DNA strands functionalized with 5-formyl-dC or 7-(2-oxoethyl)-7-deaza-dG residues using oxime ligation. The conjugation reaction was site-specific with respect to both protein and DNA, provided excellent reaction yields, and formed stable DPCs amenable to biological evaluation.

Abstract
This paper presents the development of tapered optical fiber sensor to detect a specific Leptospira bacteria DNA. The bacteria causes Leptospirosis, a deadly disease but with common early flu-like symptoms. Optical single mode fiber (SMF) of 125 μm diameter is tapered to produce 12 μm waist diameter and 15 cm length. The novel DNA-based optical fiber sensor is functionalized by incubating the tapered region with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde. Probe DNA is immobilized onto the tapered region and subsequently hybridized by its complementary DNA (cDNA). The transmission spectra of the DNA-based optical fiber sensor are measured in the 1500 to 1600 nm wavelength range. It is discovered that the shift of the wavelength in the SMF sensor is linearly proportional with the increase in the cDNA concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0 nM. The sensitivity of the sensor toward DNA is measured to be 1.2862 nm/nM and able to detect as low as 0.1 fM. The sensor indicates high specificity when only minimal shift is detected for non-cDNA testing. The developed sensor is able to distinguish between actual DNA of Leptospira serovars (Canicola and Copenhageni) against Clostridium difficile (control sample) at very low (femtomolar) target concentrations.

Abstract
DNA cytosine 5-methyltransferase (DNMT) catalyzes methylation at the C5 position of the cytosine residues in the CpG sequence. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns are found in cancer cells. Therefore, inhibition of human DNMT is an effective strategy for treating various cancers. The inhibitors of DNMT have an electron-deficient nucleobase because this group facilitates attack by the catalytic Cys residue in DNMTs. Recently, we reported the synthesis and properties of mechanism-based modified nucleosides, 2-amino-4-halopyridine-C-nucleosides (dX P), as inhibitors of DNMT. To develop a more efficient inhibitor of DNMT for oligonucleotide therapeutics, oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing other nucleoside analogues, which react more quickly with DNMT, are needed. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of the properties of 2-amino-3-cyano-4-halopyridine-C-nucleosides (dX PCN ) and ODNs containing dX PCN , as more reactive inhibitors of DNMTs. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SN Ar) of the designed nucleosides, dX PCN , was faster than that of dX P, and the ODN containing dX PCN effectively formed a complex with DNMTs. This study suggests that the incorporation of an electron-withdrawing group would be an effective method to increase reactivity toward the nucleophile of the DNMTs, while maintaining high specificity.

Abstract
(3,4-Dihydroxybut-1-ynyl)uracil, -cytosine and -7-deazaadenine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) were prepared by direct aqueous Sonogashira cross-coupling of halogenated dNTPs with dihydroxybut-1-yne and converted to 3,4-dihydroxybutyl dNTPs through catalytic hydrogenation. Sodium periodate oxidative cleavage of dihydroxybutyl-dUTP gave the desired aliphatic aldehyde-linked dUTP, whereas the oxidative cleavage of the corresponding deazaadenine dNTP gave a cyclic aminal. All dihydroxyalkyl or -alkynyl dNTPs and the formylethyl-dUTP were good substrates for DNA polymerases and were used for synthesis of diol- or aldehyde-linked DNA. The aldehyde linked DNA was used for the labelling or bioconjugations through hydrazone formation or reductive aminations.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a life-threatening condition that can occur when blood flow to the heart is interrupted due to a blockage in one or more of the coronary vessels. Current treatments of MI rapidly restore blood flow to the affected myocardium using thrombolytic agents or angioplasty. Adverse effects including inflammation, tissue necrosis, and ventricular dysfunction are, however, not uncommon following reperfusion therapy. These conditions are thought to be caused by a sudden influx of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to the affected myocardium. We employed the model of left anterior descending artery ligation/reperfusion surgery in a rat model to show that ischemia/reperfusion injury is associated with the formation of toxic DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) in cardiomyocytes. Mass spectrometry based experiments have revealed that these conjugates were formed by a free radical mechanism and involved thymidine residues of DNA and tyrosine side chains of proteins (dT-Tyr). Quantitative proteomics experiments have identified nearly 90 proteins participating in hydroxyl radical-induced DPC formation, including ROS scavengers, contractile proteins, and regulators of apoptosis. Global proteome changes were less pronounced and included increased expression of mitochondrial proteins required for aerobic respiration and biomarkers of sarcomere breakdown following ischemia/reperfusion injury. Overall, our results are consistent with a model where sudden return of oxygen to ischemic tissues induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and the formation of DNA-protein cross-links that may contribute to reperfusion injury by desregulating gene expression and inducing cardiomyocyte death.

Abstract
The purpose of this method is to provide a flexible, rapid, and quantitative technique to examine the kinetics of DNA-protein crosslink (DPC) repair in mammalian cell lines. Rather than globally assaying removal of xenobiotic-induced or spontaneous chromosomal DPC removal, this assay examines the repair of a homogeneous, chemically defined lesion specifically introduced at one site within a plasmid DNA substrate. Importantly, this approach avoids the use of radioactive materials and is not dependent on expensive or highly-specialized technology. Instead, it relies on standard recombinant DNA procedures and widely available real-time, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) instrumentation. Given the inherent flexibility of the strategy utilized, the size of the crosslinked protein, as well as the nature of the chemical linkage and the precise DNA sequence context of the attachment site can be varied to address the respective contributions of these parameters to the overall efficiency of DPC repair. Using this method, plasmids containing a site-specific DPC were transfected into cells and low molecular weight DNA recovered at various times post-transfection. Recovered DNA is then subjected to strand-specific primer extension (SSPE) using a primer complementary to the damaged strand of the plasmid. Since the DPC lesion blocks Taq DNA polymerase, the ratio of repaired to un-repaired DNA can be quantitatively assessed using qPCR. Cycle threshold (CT) values are used to calculate percent repair at various time points in the respective cell lines. This SSPE-qPCR method can also be used to quantitatively assess the repair kinetics of any DNA adduct that blocks Taq polymerase.

Abstract
A new method for the post-synthetic modification of nucleic acids was developed that involves mixing a phenyl triazolinedione (PTAD) derivative with DNA containing a vinyl nucleobase. The resulting reactions proceeded through step-wise mechanisms, giving either a formal [4+2] cycloaddition product, or, depending on the context of nucleobase, PTAD addition along with solvent trapping to give a secondary alcohol in water. Catalyst-free addition between PTAD and the terminal alkene of 5-vinyl-2'-deoxyuridine (VdU) was exceptionally fast, with a second-order rate constant of 2×103 m-1 s-1 . PTAD derivatives selectively reacted with VdU-containing oligonucleotides in a conformation-selective manner, with higher yields observed for G-quadruplex versus duplex DNA. These results demonstrate a new strategy for copper-free bioconjugation of DNA that can potentially be used to probe nucleic acid conformations in cells.

Abstract
Oxidation of guanine in the presence of lysine can lead to guanine-lysine cross-links. The ratio of the C4, C5 and C8 crosslinks depends on the manner of oxidation. Type II photosensitizers such as Rose Bengal and methylene blue can generate singlet oxygen, which leads to a different ratio of products than oxidation by type I photosensitizers or by one electron oxidants. Modeling reactions of singlet oxygen can be quite challenging. Reactions have been explored using CASSCF, NEVPT2, DFT, CCSD(T), and BD(T) calculations with SMD implicit solvation. The spin contamination in open-shell calculations were corrected by Yamaguchi's approximate spin projection method. The addition of singlet oxygen to guanine to form guanine endo- peroxide proceeds step-wise via a zwitterionic peroxyl intermediate. The subsequent barrier for ring closure is smaller than the initial barrier for singlet oxygen addition. Ring opening of the endoperoxide by protonation at C4-O is followed by loss of a proton from C8 and dehydration to produce 8-oxoGox . The addition of lysine (modelled by methylamine) or water across the C5=N7 double bond of 8-oxoGox is followed by acyl migration to form the final spiro products. The barrier for methylamine addition is significantly lower than for water addition and should be the dominant reaction channel. These results are in good agreement with the experimental results for the formation of guanine-lysine cross-links by oxidation by type II photosensitizers.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are unusually bulky DNA adducts that form in cells as a result of exposure to endogenous and exogenous agents including reactive oxygen species, ultraviolet light, ionizing radiation, environmental agents (e.g. transition metals, formaldehyde, 1,2-dibromoethane, 1,3-butadiene) and common chemotherapeutic agents. Covalent DPCs are cytotoxic and mutagenic due to their ability to interfere with faithful DNA replication and to prevent accurate gene expression. Key to our understanding of the biological significance of DPC formation is identifying the proteins most susceptible to forming these unusually bulky and complex lesions and quantifying the extent of DNA-protein cross-linking in cells and tissues. Recent advances in bottom-up mass spectrometry-based proteomics have allowed for an unbiased assessment of the whole protein DPC adductome after in vitro and in vivo exposures to cross-linking agents. This MiniReview summarizes current and emerging methods for DPC isolation and analysis by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. We also highlight several examples of successful applications of these novel methodologies to studies of DPC lesions induced by bis-electrophiles such as formaldehyde, 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane, nitrogen mustards and cisplatin.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide conjugates of small molecules are widely used in chemical biology and have found increasing interest in the context of DNA-encoded chemical libraries for drug discovery. Attachment of molecules to DNA bound to the solid support is an attractive small-molecule conjugation method that permits the use of organic solvents, rigorous reaction conditions, and simple workup. However, the conjugated structures must be resistant to the harsh DNA deprotection/cleavage conditions and the stabilities of building blocks under various deprotection conditions are mostly unexplored. In the present study, we analyzed the stability of 131 structurally diverse fragments that contain amides and amide-like elements during DNA deprotection protocols. Structural features susceptible to decomposition in DNA deprotection conditions were identified and a protocol that enabled the synthesis of DNA conjugates with labile fragments on solid support was identified.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links are formed upon exposure of cellular DNA to various agents, including antitumor drugs, UV light, transition metals, and reactive oxygen species. They are thought to contribute to cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. It has been proposed that DNA-protein cross-links formed in cells are subject to proteolytic degradation to the corresponding DNA-peptide cross-links (DpCs). To investigate the effects of DpCs on DNA replication, we have constructed plasmid DNA containing a 10-mer Myc peptide covalently linked to C7 of 7-deaza-dG, a hydrolytically stable mimic of N7-dG lesions. Following transfection in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293T), progeny plasmids were recovered and sequenced. Translesion synthesis (TLS) past DpC was 76% compared to that of the unmodified control. The DpC induced 20% targeted G → A and G → T plus 15% semitargeted mutations, notably at a guanine (G5) five bases 3' to the lesion site. Proteolytic digestion of the DpC reduced the mutation frequency considerably, indicating that the covalently attached 10-mer peptide was responsible for the observed mutations. TLS efficiency and targeted mutations were reduced upon siRNA knockdown of pol η, pol κ, or pol ζ, indicating that they participate in error-prone bypass of the DpC lesion. However, the semitargeted mutation at G5 was only reduced upon knockdown of pol ζ, suggesting its critical role in this type of mutations. Our results indicate that DpCs formed at the N7 position of guanine can induce both targeted and semitargeted mutations in human cells and that the TLS polymerases play a critical role in their error-prone bypass.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are bulky DNA lesions that form both endogenously and following exposure to bis-electrophiles such as common antitumor agents. The structural and biological consequences of DPCs have not been fully elucidated due to the complexity of these adducts. The most common site of DPC formation in DNA following treatment with bis-electrophiles such as nitrogen mustards and cisplatin is the N7 position of guanine, but the resulting conjugates are hydrolytically labile and thus are not suitable for structural and biological studies. In this report, hydrolytically stable structural mimics of N7-guanine-conjugated DPCs were generated by reductive amination reactions between the Lys and Arg side chains of proteins/peptides and aldehyde groups linked to 7-deazaguanine residues in DNA. These model DPCs were subjected to in vitro replication in the presence of human translesion synthesis DNA polymerases. DPCs containing full-length proteins (11-28 kDa) or a 23-mer peptide blocked human polymerases η and κ. DPC conjugates to a 10-mer peptide were bypassed with nucleotide insertion efficiency 50-100-fold lower than for native G. Both human polymerase (hPol) κ and hPol η inserted the correct base (C) opposite the 10-mer peptide cross-link, although small amounts of T were added by hPol η. Molecular dynamics simulation of an hPol κ ternary complex containing a template-primer DNA with dCTP opposite the 10-mer peptide DPC revealed that this bulky lesion can be accommodated in the polymerase active site by aligning with the major groove of the adducted DNA within the ternary complex of polymerase and dCTP.

Abstract
Nucleotides, 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), and DNA probes bearing reactive chloroacetamido group linked to nucleobase (cytosine or 7-deazadaenine) through a propargyl tether were prepared and tested in cross-linking with cysteine- or histidine-containing peptides and proteins. The chloroacetamide-modifed dNTPs proved to be good substrates for DNA polymerases in the enzymatic synthesis of modified DNA probes. Modified nucleotides and DNA reacted efficiently with cysteine and cysteine-containing peptides, whereas the reaction with histidine was sluggish and low yielding. The modified DNA efficiently cross-linked with p53 protein through alkylation of cysteine and showed potential for cross-linking with histidine (in C277H mutant of p53).

Abstract
We evaluated the efficacy of bioconjugation of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing 1,4-dicarbonyl groups, a C4'-oxidized abasic site (OAS), and a newly designed 2'-methoxy analogue, via reductive amination with lysine residues. Dicarbonyls, aldehyde and ketone at C1- and C4-positions of deoxyribose in the ring-opened form of OAS allowed efficient reaction with amines. Kinetic studies indicated that reductive amination of OAS-containing ODNs with a proximal amine on the complementary strand proceeded 10 times faster than the corresponding reaction of an ODN containing an abasic site with C1-aldehyde. Efficient reductive amination between the DNA-binding domain of Escherichia coli DnaA protein and ODNs carrying OAS in the DnaA-binding sequence proceeded at the lysine residue in proximity to the phosphate group at the 5'-position of the OAS, in contrast to unsuccessful conjugation with abasic site ODNs, even though they have similar aldehydes. Theoretical calculation indicated that the C1-aldehyde of OAS was more accessible to the target lysine than that of the abasic site. These results demonstrate the potential utility of cross-linking strategies that use dicarbonyl-containing ODNs for the study of protein-nucleic acid interactions. Conjugation with a lysine-containing peptide that lacked specific affinity for ODN was also successful, further highlighting the advantages of 1,4-dicarbonyls.

Abstract
Noncovalent DNA-protein interactions are at the heart of normal cell function. In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is wrapped around histone octamers to allow for chromosomal packaging in the nucleus. Binding of regulatory protein factors to DNA directs replication, controls transcription, and mediates cellular responses to DNA damage. Because of their fundamental significance in all cellular processes involving DNA, dynamic DNA-protein interactions are required for cell survival, and their disruption is likely to have serious biological consequences. DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) form when cellular proteins become covalently trapped on DNA strands upon exposure to various endogenous, environmental and chemotherapeutic agents. DPCs progressively accumulate in the brain and heart tissues as a result of endogenous exposure to reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation products, as well as normal cellular metabolism. A range of structurally diverse DPCs are found following treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs, transition metal ions, and metabolically activated carcinogens. Because of their considerable size and their helix-distorting nature, DPCs interfere with the progression of replication and transcription machineries and hence hamper the faithful expression of genetic information, potentially contributing to mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Mass spectrometry-based studies have identified hundreds of proteins that can become cross-linked to nuclear DNA in the presence of reactive oxygen species, carcinogen metabolites, and antitumor drugs. While many of these proteins including histones, transcription factors, and repair proteins are known DNA binding partners, other gene products with no documented affinity for DNA also participate in DPC formation. Furthermore, multiple sites within DNA can be targeted for cross-linking including the N7 of guanine, the C-5 methyl group of thymine, and the exocyclic amino groups of guanine, cytosine, and adenine. This structural complexity complicates structural and biological studies of DPC lesions. Two general strategies have been developed for creating DNA strands containing structurally defined, site-specific DPCs. Enzymatic methodologies that trap DNA modifying proteins on their DNA substrate are site specific and efficient, but do not allow for systematic studies of DPC lesion structure on their biological outcomes. Synthetic methodologies for DPC formation are based on solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotide strands containing protein-reactive unnatural DNA bases. The latter approach allows for a wider range of protein substrates to be conjugated to DNA and affords a greater flexibility for the attachment sites within DNA. In this Account, we outline the chemistry of DPC formation in cells, describe our recent efforts to identify the cross-linked proteins by mass spectrometry, and discuss various methodologies for preparing DNA strands containing structurally defined, site specific DPC lesions. Polymerase bypass experiments conducted with model DPCs indicate that the biological outcomes of these bulky lesions are strongly dependent on the peptide/protein size and the exact cross-linking site within DNA. Future studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms of DPC repair and their biological outcomes in living cells.

Abstract
![]()
DNA–protein
cross-links (DPCs) are bulky, helix-distorting
DNA lesions that form in the genome upon exposure to common antitumor
drugs, environmental/occupational toxins, ionizing radiation, and
endogenous free-radical-generating systems. As a result of their considerable
size and their pronounced effects on DNA–protein interactions,
DPCs can interfere with DNA replication, transcription, and repair,
potentially leading to mutagenesis, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity.
However, the biological consequences of these ubiquitous lesions are
not fully understood due to the difficulty of generating DNA substrates
containing structurally defined, site-specific DPCs. In the present
study, site-specific cross-links between the two biomolecules were
generated by copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] Huisgen cycloaddition (click
reaction) between an alkyne group from 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)-uracil
in DNA and an azide group within engineered proteins/polypeptides.
The resulting DPC substrates were subjected to in vitro primer extension in the presence of human lesion bypass DNA polymerases
η, κ, ν, and ι. We found that DPC lesions
to the green fluorescent protein and a 23-mer peptide completely blocked
DNA replication, while the cross-link to a 10-mer peptide was bypassed.
These results indicate that the polymerases cannot read through the
larger DPC lesions and further suggest that proteolytic degradation
may be required to remove the replication block imposed by bulky DPC
adducts.

Abstract
DNA-encoded chemical libraries are collections of small molecules, attached to DNA fragments serving as identification barcodes, which can be screened against multiple protein targets, thus facilitating the drug discovery process. The preparation of large DNA-encoded chemical libraries crucially depends on the availability of robust synthetic methods, which enable the efficient conjugation to oligonucleotides of structurally diverse building blocks, sharing a common reactive group. Reactions of DNA derivatives with amines and/or carboxylic acids are particularly attractive for the synthesis of encoded libraries, in view of the very large number of building blocks that are commercially available. However, systematic studies on these reactions in the presence of DNA have not been reported so far. We first investigated conditions for the coupling of primary amines to oligonucleotides, using either a nucleophilic attack on chloroacetamide derivatives or a reductive amination on aldehyde-modified DNA. While both methods could be used for the production of secondary amines, the reductive amination approach was generally associated with higher yields and better purity. In a second endeavor, we optimized conditions for the coupling of a diverse set of 501 carboxylic acids to DNA derivatives, carrying primary and secondary amine functions. The coupling efficiency was generally higher for primary amines, compared to secondary amine substituents, but varied considerably depending on the structure of the acids and on the synthetic methods used. Optimal reaction conditions could be found for certain sets of compounds (with conversions >80%), but multiple reaction schemes are needed when assembling large libraries with highly diverse building blocks. The reactions and experimental conditions presented in this article should facilitate the synthesis of future DNA-encoded chemical libraries, while outlining the synthetic challenges that remain to be overcome.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal is a mutagenic bis-electrophile that is produced endogenously from carbohydrate precursors. Methylglyoxal has been reported to induce DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) in vitro and in cultured cells. Previous work suggests that these cross-links are formed between guanine and either lysine or cysteine side chains. However, the chemical nature of the methylglyoxal induced DPC have not been determined. We have examined the reaction of methylglyoxal, deoxyguanosine (dGuo), and Nα-acetyllysine (AcLys) and determined the structure of the cross-link to be the N2-ethyl-1-carboxamide with the lysine side chain amino group (1). The cross-link was identified by mass spectrometry and the structure confirmed by comparison to a synthetic sample. Further, the cross-link between methylglyoxal, dGuo, and a peptide (AcAVAGKAGAR) was also characterized. The mechanism of cross-link formation is likely to involve an Amadori rearrangement.

Abstract
Electrophilic DNA adducts produced following oxidative stress can form DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs), dramatically altering genomic maintenance pathways. Complete characterization of DPCs has been hindered, in part, because of a lack of comprehensive techniques for their analysis. We have, therefore, established a proteomics approach to investigate sites of cross-link formation using N(6)-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (OPdA), an electrophilic DNA adduct produced from oxidative stress. OPdA was reacted with albumin and reduced with NaBH4 to stabilize DPCs. Using LC-MS/MS proteomics techniques, high-resolution peptide sequence data were obtained; however, using a database searching strategy, adducted peptides were only identified in samples subjected to chemical depurination. This strategy revealed multiple oxopropenyl adenine-lysine adducts and oxopropenyl-lysine adducts with the most reactive lysines identified to be Lys256 and Lys548. Manual interrogation of the mass spectral data provided evidence of OPdA deoxynucleoside conjugates to lysines and cross-links that underwent facile collision-induced dissociation to release an unmodified peptide without subsequent fragmentation. These fragmentations precluded adduct detection and peptide sequencing using database searching methods. Thus, comprehensive analysis of DPCs requires chemical depurination of DNA-protein reaction mixtures followed by a combination of database-dependent and manual interrogation of LC-MS/MS data using higher-energy collision-induced dissociation. In the present case, this approach revealed that OPdA selectively modifies surface lysine residues and produces nucleoside-protein cross-links and oxopropenyl lysine.
