8-Hydroxyadenine (7, 8-dihydro-8-Oxoadenine) induces misincorporation inin vitroDNA synthesis and mutations in NIH 3T3 cells

Gel electrophoretic detection of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine and 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine via oxidation by Ir (IV).

Two gel electrophoretic methods are described for detection of 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine and 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine based on their further oxidation with one-electron oxidants including IrCl62-and IrBr62-. The products of nucleobase oxidation lead to enhanced piperidine-sensitive cleavage and to highly visible stop points in a primer extension assay. 8-oxoG and 8-oxoA lesions may be distingui...

Structure and in vitro replication of DNA templates containing 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine.

Adenine residues in DNA are oxidized under the action of ionizing radiation at the C-8 position to give 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine. The formation of this lesion can be considered a cause of mutations and carcinogenesis. Oligodeoxyribonucleotides 39 and 47 bases long containing a single 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine (8-hydroxyadenine) residue were synthesized by using nucleoside phosphoramidites. They ...

Genetic effects of oxidative DNA damage: comparative mutagenesis of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine and 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine in Escherichia coli.

A single 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (G8-OXO; 8-hydroxyguanine) adduct in the lacZ alpha gene of bacteriophage M13 DNA induces a targeted G-->T transversion after replication in Escherichia coli (Biochemistry, 29, 7024-7031 (1990)). This mutation is thought to be due to the facile formation during DNA synthesis of a G8-OXO.base pair, where G8-OXO is in the syn conformation about the deoxyglycosyl ...

Peroxynitrite reaction products of 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine.

Of the DNA bases, peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is most reactive toward 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo), but even more reactive with 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), requiring a 1,000-fold excess of dGuo to provide 50% protection against the reaction with 8-oxodGuo. Therefore, it seems reasonable that 8-oxodGuo is a potentially important target in DNA and that the structures of the reaction p...
