Fluorescent adenine analogues with ESPT characteristic utilized for real-time detecting DNA adduct. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 282:121675. [PMID: 35914355 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanine (8-oxoG) is the representative damaged nucleoside that may increase the risk of developing diseases. Accordingly, the selective detection of 8-oxoG in DNA with minimal disturbance to the native structure is important to have an in-depth understanding of the formation mechanism and becomes an attractive tool for genomic research. To identify the DNA adduct in real-time efficiently, a series of quasi-intrinsic optical probes are performed based on the natural adenine, which has preference to form a stable base pair with 8-oxoG in the syn conformation. The calculations revealed that the A-analogues in solution could bring red-shifted absorption spectra and bright photoluminescence arisen from the additional π-conjugation by means of fluorophore modification and the ring expansion. Especially, A1 possesses large Stokes shifts and the highest fluorescence intensity in emission, which is proposed as the biosensor to monitor the optical changes in the presence and absence of the considered 8-oxoG. It is found that the fluorescence is insensitive to base pairing with thymine, while the excited state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT) induced efficient fluorescence quenching is observed upon pairing with the 8-oxoG. To evaluate the direct usefulness of the bright adenine analogues in biological environment, we further examined the influences of linking deoxyribose on the absorption and emission, which are consistent with the experimental data.

Genome-wide analysis of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine at single-nucleotide resolution unveils reduced occurrence of oxidative damage at G-quadruplex sites. Nucleic Acids Res 2021; 49:12252-12267.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (OG), one of the most common oxidative DNA damages, causes genome instability and is associated with cancer, neurological diseases and aging. In addition, OG and its repair intermediates can regulate gene transcription, and thus play a role in sensing cellular oxidative stress. However, the lack of methods to precisely map OG has hindered the study of its biological roles. Here, we developed a single-nucleotide resolution OG-sequencing method, named CLAPS-seq (Chemical Labeling And Polymerase Stalling Sequencing), to measure the genome-wide distribution of both exogenous and endogenous OGs with high specificity. Our data identified decreased OG occurrence at G-quadruplexes (G4s), in association with underrepresentation of OGs in promoters which have high GC content. Furthermore, we discovered that potential quadruplex sequences (PQSs) were hotspots of OGs, implying a role of non-G4-PQSs in OG-mediated oxidative stress response.

Abstract
N6 -(2-Deoxy-α,β-d-erythropentofuranosyl)-2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (Fapy⋅dG) is a major DNA lesion produced from 2'-deoxyguanosine under oxidizing conditions. Fapy⋅dG is produced from a common intermediate that leads to 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OxodGuo), and in greater quantities in cells. The impact of Fapy⋅dG on DNA structure and function is much less well understood than that of 8-OxodGuo. This is largely due to the significantly greater difficulty in synthesizing oligonucleotides containing Fapy⋅dG than 8-OxodGuo. We describe a synthetic approach for preparing oligonucleotides containing Fapy⋅dG that will facilitate intensive studies of this lesion in DNA. A variety of oligonucleotides as long as 30 nucleotides are synthesized. We anticipate that the chemistry described herein will provide an impetus for a wide range of studies involving Fapy⋅dG.

Abstract
Formation of adducts to DNA is of great benefit to DNA sequencing and damage detection technology and to enzymology. Here we describe the synthesis and characterization procedures of 18-crown-6 adducts formed to abasic (AP) sites, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG), and 2'-deoxycytidine (C) residues in DNA oligodeoxynucleotides. These crown ether adducts were used as site-specific modifications to facilitate nanopore technology. The methods described can be readily expanded to attach other suitable primary amines of interest.

A guardian residue hinders insertion of a Fapy•dGTP analog by modulating the open-closed DNA polymerase transition. Nucleic Acids Res 2019; 47:3197-3207.

Abstract
4,6-Diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (Fapy•dG) is an abundant form of oxidative DNA damage that is mutagenic and contributes to the pathogenesis of human disease. When Fapy•dG is in its nucleotide triphosphate form, Fapy•dGTP, it is inefficiently cleansed from the nucleotide pool by the responsible enzyme in Escherichia coli MutT and its mammalian homolog MTH1. Therefore, under oxidative stress conditions, Fapy•dGTP could become a pro-mutagenic substrate for insertion into the genome by DNA polymerases. Here, we evaluated insertion kinetics and high-resolution ternary complex crystal structures of a configurationally stable Fapy•dGTP analog, β-C-Fapy•dGTP, with DNA polymerase β. The crystallographic snapshots and kinetic data indicate that binding of β-C-Fapy•dGTP impedes enzyme closure, thus hindering insertion. The structures reveal that an active site residue, Asp276, positions β-C-Fapy•dGTP so that it distorts the geometry of critical catalytic atoms. Removal of this guardian side chain permits enzyme closure and increases the efficiency of β-C-Fapy•dG insertion opposite dC. These results highlight the stringent requirements necessary to achieve a closed DNA polymerase active site poised for efficient nucleotide incorporation and illustrate how DNA polymerase β has evolved to hinder Fapy•dGTP insertion.

Abstract
The DNA base guanine (G) can be oxidatively modified to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG). Extraction of genomic DNA followed by nuclease digestion and mass spectrometry analysis has found OG is present at background levels of ~1 out of 106 Gs; however, this approach cannot determine the locations for the OGs in the genome. Thus, in this methods report, we outline three different methods (A, B, and C) for sequencing OG in DNA. Method A sequences OG by utilizing the base excision repair pathway to delete the OG nucleotide from the DNA that is then detected by Sanger sequencing as a deletion signature. Method B sequences OG by harnessing the base excision repair pathway to convert OG to an unnatural DNA base pair followed by Sanger sequencing to locate the unnatural base pair indicating where OG was located. Method C (i.e., OG-Seq) takes genomic DNA sheared to ~150bps followed by selectively biotinylating the OG-containing fragments for affinity purification and enrichment of the OG-modified strands. The OG-modified fragments are sequenced on a next-generation sequencing platform to locate OG on the genomic scale with a resolution of ~150bps. The methods outlined are then compared and contrasted allowing researchers to select the one that best suits their experimental goals.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to the genome can yield the base 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG). In vitro studies suggested OG would preferentially form in 5'-GG-3' sequence contexts after exposure to reactive oxygen species. Herein, OG locations in the genome were studied by development of "OG-Seq" to sequence OG sites via next-generation sequencing at ∼0.15-kb resolution. The results of this study found ∼10 000 regions of OG enrichment in WT mouse embryonic fibroblasts and ∼18 000 regions when the OG repair glycosylase Ogg1 was knocked out. Gene promoters and UTRs harbor more OG-enriched sites than expected if the sites were randomly distributed throughout the genome and correlate with reactive 5'-GG-3' sequences, a result supporting decades of in vitro studies. Sequencing of OG paves the way to address chemical and biological questions surrounding this modified DNA base, such as its role in disease-specific mutations and its epigenetic potential in gene regulation.

Abstract
We have developed a nanopore sensing approach for the selective detection of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG) in single-stranded DNA. First, 1,12-dodecanediamine is coupled with 8-oxoG-containing DNA molecules in high yield which leaves a free amine group for subsequent attaching of an adamantane moiety. After incubation with cucurbit[7]uril, the host-guest complex-modified DNA hybrid is translocated through an α-hemolysin nanopore. Highly characteristic events can be recorded and used to quantify the 8-oxoG-DNA content in a DNA mixture. Compared with the existing methods, this study provides a reliable, quick, and low-cost approach for the detection of 8-oxoG site in single-stranded DNA at the single-molecule level, particularly suitable for high-throughput screening of a massive number of samples.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) is a commonly formed DNA lesion that is useful as a biomarker for oxidative stress. Methods for detecting 8-oxodGuo at specific positions within DNA could be useful for correlating DNA damage with mutational hotspots and repair enzyme accessibility. We describe a method for covalently linking ('tagging') peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) containing terminal nucleophiles under oxidative conditions to 8-oxodGuo at specific sites within DNA. Several nucleophiles were examined and the ε-amine of lysine was selected for further studies. As little as 10 fmol of 8-oxodGuo were detected by gel shift using (32)P-labeled target DNA and no tagging of dG at the same site or 8-oxodGuo at a distal site was detected when potassium ferricyanide was used as oxidant in substrates as long as 221 bp.

Abstract
The adenosine derivative of 2-oxo-1,3-diazaphenoxazine (Adap) exhibits a superb ability to recognize and form base pairs with 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in duplex DNA. In this study, the triphosphate of Adap (dAdapTP) was synthesized and tested for single nucleotide incorporation into primer strands using the Klenow Fragment. The efficiency of dAdapTP incorporation into 8-oxo-dG-containing templates was more than 36-fold higher than with dG-containing templates, and provides better discrimination than does the incorporation of natural 2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP). The selective incorporation of dAdapTP into 8-oxo-dG templates was therefore applied to the detection of 8-oxo-dG in human telomeric DNA sequences extracted from H2 O2 -treated HeLa cells. The enzymatic incorporation of dAdapTP into 8-oxo-dG-containing templates may provide a novel basis for sequencing oxidative DNA damage in the genome.

Abstract
![]()
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine
(8-oxodGuo) is a commonly
formed DNA lesion that is useful as a biomarker for oxidative stress.
Although methods for selective quantification of 8-oxodGuo exist,
there is room for additional methods that are sensitive and utilize
instrumentation that is widely available. We previously took advantage
of the reported reactivity of 8-oxodGuo to develop a method for detecting
the lesion by selectively covalently tagging it with a molecule equipped
with a biotin label that can be used subsequently with a reporting
method (XueL., and GreenbergM. M. (2007) 129, 701017497789). We now report a method that can
detect as little as 14 amol of 8-oxodGuo by tagging DNA with a reagent
containing a disulfide that reduces background due to nonspecific
binding. The reagent also contains biotin that enables capturing target
DNA on streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The captured DNA is quantified
using quantitative PCR. The method is validated by comparing the amount
of 8-oxodGuo detected as a function of Fe2+/H2O2/ascorbate-dose to that reported previously using mass
spectrometry.

Abstract
γ-Radiolysis kills cells by damaging DNA via radical processes. Many of the radical pathways are O2 dependent, which results in a reduction in the cytotoxicity of ionizing radiation in hypoxic tumor cells. Consequently, there is a need for chemical agents that increase DNA damage by ionizing radiation under O2-deficient conditions. Modified nucleotides that are incorporated in DNA and produce highly reactive σ-radicals are useful as radiosensitizing agents. Aryl halide C-nucleotides (4-6) were incorporated into oligonucleotides by solid-phase synthesis. Duplex DNA containing 4-6 forms interstrand cross-links upon γ-radiolysis under anaerobic conditions or UV irradiation. Deep Vent (exo(-)) DNA polymerase accepted the nucleotide triphosphate of C-nucleotide 6 as a substrate and preferentially incorporated it opposite pyrimidines, but no further extension was detected. Incorporation of 6 in extended products by Deep Vent (exo(-)) during PCR or by Sequenase during copying of single stranded DNA plasmid was undetectable. Aryl halide nucleotide analogues that produce DNA interstrand cross-links under anaerobic conditions upon irradiation are potentially useful as radiosensitizing agents, but further research is needed to identify molecules that are incorporated by DNA polymerases and do not block further polymerization for this approach to be useful in cells.

Abstract
It is important that various lesions in DNA were detected selectively and conveniently to know mechanisms of carcinogenicity and/or aging of cells. However, most detection methods of DNA lesion are complicated and take a long time for enzymatic hydrolysis and analysis by HPLC and/or mass spectrometry. This review shows the new concept for detection of DNA lesion by "fluorogenic reagent". Inspired by the unique bis-heteroaryl structure of luciferin and 5-heteroaryl-2'-deoxyuridine having good fluorescence properties, we designed and synthesized fluorogenic reagent 4,5-dimethoxy-2-aminothiophenol for a selective and convenient detection for 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine, which is generated in yields comparable to that of 2'-deoxy-8-oxoguanosine, in DNA. Generated 5-(5,6-dimethoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine has a high quantum yield and larger Stokes shift in aqueous solution. This derivatization of 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine in oligodeoxynucleotide occurred quickly and quantitatively. The fluorogenic reagent was also revealed to detect 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine in γ-irradiated calf thymus DNA with irradiation dose dependent manner. Thus, our fluorogenic strategy enables to selective and convenient detection of lesion in DNA exposed to various forms of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nanopore technology holds high potential for next-generation DNA sequencing. This method operates by drawing an individual single-stranded DNA molecule through a nanoscale pore while monitoring the current deflections that occur as the DNA passes through. Individual current levels for the four DNA nucleotides have been established by immobilization of an end biotinylated strand in the pore in which the nucleotide of interest is suspended at the most sensitive region of the ion channel. Due to the inherent reactivity of the DNA bases, many modified nucleotides in the genome exist resulting from oxidative and UV insults, among others. Herein, the current levels for the common DNA damages 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), guanidinohydantoin (Gh), uridine (U), abasic sites (AP), thymine dimers (T=T), thymine glycol (Tg) and 5-iodocytosine (5-I-C) were assessed via immobilization experiments. In some cases, the current difference between the damaged and canonical nucleotides was not well resolved; therefore, we took advantage of the chemical reactivity of the new functional groups present to make amine adducts that shifted the current levels outside the range of the native nucleotides. Among adducts studied, only the 2-aminomethyl-18-crown-6 adduct was able to give a large current shift in the immobilization experiment, as well as to be observed in a translocation experiment. The results show potential in providing current level modulators for identification of some types of DNA damage. In principle, any DNA base modification that can be converted chemically or enzymatically to an abasic site could be identified in this way.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG, or OG) as a free base has been widely considered as a biomarker for DNA oxidative damage. Currently no fluorescence sensor has been developed to directly detect 8-oxoG less than 100 nM. In this study, two triple-stranded DNAs were selected as the scaffolds to rationally design DNA aptamer sensors for 8-oxoG. The cavity was created by deleting the 8-oxodG nucleoside in a triplex containing an A·OG-C triad or a C·OG-A triad. The results showed that the fluorescence of both sensors were completely quenched by 8-oxoG. The detection ranges of the two sensors were different, while the combined range was comparable to the detection range of an antibody-based method. This result is expected to enable a fast, low-cost, and reusable method to measure 8-oxoG concentration.

Abstract
Exposure of DNA to oxidative stress conditions results in the generation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo). 8-OxodGuo is genotoxic if left unrepaired. We quantified 8-oxodGuo lesions in double-stranded DNA films by using a photoelectrochemical DNA sensor in conjunction with a specific covalent labeling method. A lesion-containing DNA film was assembled on a SnO(2) nanoparticle modified indium tin oxide electrode through layer-by-layer electrostatic adsorption. The lesions were covalently labeled with a biotin conjugated spermine derivative, and ruthenium tris(bipyridine) labeled streptavidin was introduced as the signal reporter molecule. Photocurrent increased with the number of lesions in the strand and decreased as the film was diluted with intact DNA. Quantification of 8-oxodGuo was achieved with an estimated detection limit of ∼1 lesion in 650 bases or 1.6 fmol of 8-oxodGuo on the electrode. Incubation of the film with a DNA base excision repair enzyme, E. coli formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg), resulted in complete loss of the signal, indicating efficient excision of the isolated lesions in the nucleotide. Oxidatively generated DNA damage to a double-stranded calf thymus DNA film by the Fenton reaction was then assessed. One 8-oxodGuo lesion in 520 bases was detected in DNA exposed to 50 μM Fe(2+)/200 μM H(2)O(2). Treatment with Fpg reduced the photocurrent by 50%, indicating only partial excision of 8-oxodGuo. This suggests that tandem lesions, which are resistant to Fpg excision, are generated by the Fenton reaction. Unlike repair enzyme dependent methods, the sensor recognizes 8-oxodGuo in tandem lesions and can avoid underestimating DNA damage.

Abstract
DNA is constantly exposed to agents that induce structural damage, from sources both internal and external to an organism. Endogenous species, such as oxidizing chemicals, and exogenous agents, such as ultraviolet rays in sunlight, together produce more than 70 distinct chemical modifications of native nucleotides. Of these, about 15 of the lesions have been detected in cellular DNA. This kind of structural DNA damage can be cytotoxic, carcinogenic, or both and is being linked to an increasingly lengthy list of diseases. The formamidopyrimidine (Fapy) lesions are a family of DNA lesions that result after purines undergo oxidative stress. The Fapy lesions are produced in yields comparable to the 8-oxopurines, which, owing in part to a perception of mutagenicity in some quarters, have been subjected to intense research scrutiny. But despite the comparable abundance of the formamidopyrimidines and the 8-oxopurines, until recently very little was known about the effects of Fapy lesions on biochemical processes involving DNA or on the structure and stability of the genomic material. In this Account, we discuss the detection of Fapy lesions in DNA and the mechanism proposed for their formation. We also describe methods for the chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides containing Fapy·dA or Fapy·dG and the outcomes of chemical and biochemical studies utilizing these compounds. These experiments reveal that the formamidopyrimidines decrease the fidelity of polymerases and are substrates for DNA repair enzymes. The mutation frequency of Fapy·dG in mammals is even greater than that of 8-oxodGuo (8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, one of the 8-oxopurines), suggesting that this lesion could be a useful biomarker and biologically significant. Despite clear similarities, the formamidopyrimidines have lived in the shadow of the corresponding 8-oxopurine lesions. But the recent development of methods for synthesizing oligonucleotides containing Fapy·dA or Fapy·dG has accelerated research on these lesions, revealing that the formamidopyrimidines are repaired as efficiently and, in some cases, more rapidly than the 8-oxopurines. Fapy·dG appears to be a lesion of biochemical consequence, and further study of its mutagenicity, repair, and interactions with DNA structure will better define the cellular details involving this important product of DNA stress.

Abstract
Abasic site-containing DNA duplex is a versatile structural motif that can be used for the design of purine aptamers and sensors. In this study, several modifications were introduced to the abasic site to explore possible specific binding of free 8-oxoG, a product of DNA base excision repair. The nucleoside opposite the abasic site was replaced by pyrrolo-dC as a reporter group. Binding of 8-oxoG quenched pyrrolo-dC fluorescence by as much as 70%. In contrast, adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine showed only minimal fluorescence quenching effect. The best aptamer binds 8-oxoG with a dissociation constant of 5.5±0.8μM. This sensor can be used to accurately measure 8-oxoG concentrations in the presence of guanine.

OFF-to-ON type fluorescent probe for the detection of 8-oxo-dG in DNA by the Adap-masked ODN probe. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2011; 22:543-6.

Abstract
We have recently reported that Adap (adenosine-1,3-diazaphenoxazine) is an artificial nucleoside analogue for the specific recognition by multiple hydrogen bonding and that its fluorescence is selectively quenched with 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in DNA. We now report the development of a new OFF-to-ON type FRET probe, in which one strand contains Adap and another contains natural nucleotides for the formation of a less stable double strand. Each strand was labeled with Cy3 or BHQ2 at the 5'-end or 3'-end, respectively. It was expected in this system that fluorescence of the duplex probe is first quenched by FRET, but the target DNA strand containing 8-oxo-dG at the complementary site of Adap would enhance the displacement reaction of the less stable duplex probe that results in the fluorescence recovery. The results showed that the duplex probe containing the Adap-T base pair exhibited a complete discrimination between 8-oxo-dG and dG in DNA by fluorescence enhancement.

Abstract
The selective detection of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in DNA without chemical or enzymatic treatment is an attractive tool for genomic research. We designed and synthesized the non-natural nucleoside analogue, the adenosine-1,3-diazaphenoxazine (Adap) derivative, for selective recognition of 8-oxo-dG in DNA. This study clearly showed that Adap has a highly selective stabilizing effect on the duplex containing the Adap-8-oxo-dG base pair. Furthermore, the fluorescent property of Adap was shown to be useful for the selective detection of 8-oxo-dG in the duplex DNA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first successful demonstration of a non-natural nucleoside with a high selectivity for 8-oxo-dG in DNA.

Abstract
Abasic sites (AP sites) arise from hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds of DNA that is damaged by various external and internal processes; unrepaired AP sites give rise to genetic mutations. We have constructed highly reactive AP-site-detecting probes by introducing a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic residue in an aminooxy group. Synthesized probes containing either a naphthalene or a guanidine residue conjugate effectively with AP sites. In particular, a probe containing both functional groups shows the highest reaction rate, indicating that the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions act cooperatively in reaction with AP sites. The guanidine residue also contributes to the solubility of the molecules in aqueous media. The biotinylated probes provide much more sensitive detection of AP sites in genomic DNA than the conventional aldehyde-reactive probe.

Abstract
Formamidopyrimidines, 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua), are among major lesions in DNA generated by hydroxyl radical attack, UV radiation, or photosensitization in vitro and in vivo. FapyAde and FapyGua exist in living cells at detectable background levels and are formed by exposure of cells to DNA-damaging agents. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA glycosylases exist for the repair of formamidopyrimidines by base excision repair pathways in cells, indicating their biological significance. Moreover, they are premutagenic lesions, albeit to different extents, revealing a possible role in disease processes. Methodologies using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with capillary columns have been developed to accurately measure FapyAde and FapyGua in DNA in vitro and in vivo. Stable isotope-labeled analogues of these compounds have been synthesized and are commercially available to be used as internal standards for accurate quantification. GC/MS with isotope dilution provides excellent sensitivity and selectivity for positive identification and accurate quantification, and has widely been applied in the past to the measurement of formamidopyrimidines under numerous experimental conditions. This paper reports on the details of this GC/MS methodology.

Selective fluorescence quenching of the 8-oxoG-clamp by 8-oxodeoxyguanosine in ODN. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2008; 19:727-30.

Abstract
The 8-oxoG-clamp, a specific fluorescent probe for 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), was incorporated into the oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) within or at the 3'-end of the purine and the pyrimidine sequences. Based on the UV-melting temperature, the 8-oxoG-clamp showed slightly lower stabilizing effects on the duplexes containing 8-oxo-dG at the complementary site than that with dG. On the other hand, 8-oxo-dG in DNA was selectively detected by fluorescence quenching of the 8-oxoG-clamp.

Abstract
A facile, sensitive method for detecting specific sequences of oligonucleotides was developed. Detection of DNA sequences with single nucleotide discrimination is achieved by combining the selectivity of hybridization with an efficient cross-linking reaction. Readily synthesized bifunctional oligonucleotide probes containing a modified pyrimidine that is capable of forming interstrand cross-links under mild oxidative conditions internally, and biotin at their 5′-termini were used to discriminate between 16-nt long sites in plasmid DNA that differ by a single nucleotide. The target sequence was detected via fluorescence spectroscopy by utilizing conjugates of avidin and horseradish peroxidase in a microtiter plate assay. The method is able to detect as little as 250 fmol of target without using PCR and exhibits single nucleotide discrimination that approaches 200:1. In principle, this method is capable of probing any target sequence containing a 2′-deoxyadenosine.

DNA polymerase bypass in vitro and in E. coli of a C-nucleotide analogue of Fapy-dG. Bioorg Med Chem 2008; 16:4029-34.

Abstract
Bypass of the configurationally stable analogue (beta-C-Fapy x dG) of the formamidopyrimidine lesion derived from 2'-deoxyguanosine oxidation (Fapy x dG) was studied in vitro and in Escherichia coli. The exonuclease deficient Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I (Klenow exo(-)) misincorporated dA most frequently opposite beta-C-Fapy x dG, but its efficiency was <0.2% of dC insertion. Klenow exo(-) fidelity was enhanced by the enzyme's high selectivity for extending duplexes only when dC was opposite beta-C-Fapy x dG. The expectations raised by these in vitro data were realized when beta-C-Fapy x dG replication was studied in E. coli by transfecting M13mp7(L2) bacteriophage DNA containing the nucleotide analogue within the lacZ gene in 4 local sequence contexts. The bypass efficiency of beta-C-Fapy x dG varied between 45% and 70% compared to a genome containing only native nucleotides. Mutation frequencies at the site of the lesions in the originally transfected genomes were determined using the REAP assay [Delaney, J. C.; Essigmann, J. M. Methods Enzymol.2006, 408, 1]. The levels of mutations could not be distinguished between those observed when genomes containing native nucleotides were replicated, indicating that the mutagenicity of beta-C-Fapy x dG was <1%. These data and previous reports indicate that beta-C-Fapy x dG is a good model of Fapy x dG in E. coli. In addition, these results and the previous report of beta-C-Fapy x dG binding to the base excision repair protein formamidopyrimidine glycosylase suggest that this analogue could be useful as a DNA repair inhibitor.

Abstract
Under conditions of oxidative stress, the formamidopyrimidine lesions (FapyG and FapyA) are formed in competition with the corresponding 8-oxopurines (OG and OA) from a common intermediate. In order to reveal features of the repair of these lesions, and the potential contribution of repair in mitigating or exacerbating the mutagenic properties of Fapy lesions, their excision by three glycosylases, Fpg, hOGG1 and Ntg1, was examined in various base pair contexts under single-turnover conditions. FapyG was removed at least as efficiently as OG by all three glycosylases. In addition, the rates of removal of FapyG by Fpg and hOGG1 were influenced by their base pair partner, with preference for removal when base paired with the correct Watson-Crick partner C. With the FapyA lesion, Fpg and Ntg1 catalyze its removal more readily than OG opposite all four natural bases. In contrast, the removal of FapyA by hOGG1 was not as robust as FapyG or OG, and was only significant when the lesion was paired with C. The discrimination by the various glycosylases with respect to the opposing base was highly dependent on the identity of the lesion. OG induced the greatest selectivity against its removal when part of a promutagenic base pair. The superb activity of the various OG glycosylases toward removal of FapyG and FapyA in vitro suggests that these enzymes may act upon these oxidized lesions in vivo. The differences in the activity of the various glycosylases for removal of FapyG and FapyA compared to OG in nonmutagenic versus promutagenic base pair contexts may serve to alter the mutagenic profiles of these lesions in vivo.
