A viral genome containing an unstable aflatoxin B1-N7-guanine DNA adduct situated at a unique site.
A problem that has hindered the study of the biological properties of certain DNA adducts, such as those that form at the N7 atoms of purines, is their extreme chemical lability. Conditions are described for the construction of a single-stranded genome containing the chemically and thermally labile 8,9-dihydro-8- (N7-guanyl)-9-hydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-N7-Gua) adduct, the major DNA adduct of th...
متن کاملExcretion of an aflatoxin-guanine adduct in the urine of aflatoxin B1-treated rats.
Administration of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to rats resulted in the urinary excretion of 2,3-dihydro-2-(N7-guanyl)-3-hydroxyaflatoxin B1. This is the major product formed by the interaction in vivo of AFB1 with rat liver nucleic acids. The adduct was isolated from urine by the combined use of preparative and analytical high-pressure liquid chromatography and was quantitated by measurement of absorban...
متن کاملFluorescence quantification of aflatoxin N7-guanine adducts.
Increasingly sensitive assays are needed to understand and evaluate the effects of chemical exposures on individuals and populations. Several assays have been developed to measure the environmental dietary carcinogen, aflatoxin, and its metabolites in biological specimens. One, the 8,9-dihydro-8-(N7-guanyl)-9-hydroxy-aflatoxin B1 nucleic acid adduct, has been shown to be both highly correlated ...
متن کاملSolution structure of an intramolecular DNA triplex containing an N7-glycosylated guanine which mimics a protonated cytosine.
The three-dimensional structure of a pyrimidine-purine-pyrimidine DNA triplex containing an N7-glycosylated guanine (7G) in the third strand has been determined by NMR spectroscopy, restrained molecular dynamics calculations, and complete relaxation matrix refinement. Glycosylation of the guanine at the N7 position permits it to adopt a conformation such that the Hoogsteen face of the base mimi...
متن کاملDNA damage by mycotoxins.
Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites which are structurally diverse, common contaminants of the ingredients of animal feed and human food. To date, mycotoxins with carcinogenic potency in experimental animal models include aflatoxins, sterigmatocystin, ochratoxin, fumonisins, zearalenone, and some Penicillium toxins. Most of these carcinogenic mycotoxins are genotoxic agents with the excepti...
