Nitric oxide-induced deamination of cytosine and guanine in deoxynucleosides and oligonucleotides.
The autoxidation of nitric oxide (NO.) forms the nitrosating agent N2O3, which can directly damage DNA by deamination of DNA bases following nitrosation of their primary amine functionalities. Within the G:C base pair, deamination results in the formation of xanthine and uracil, respectively. To determine the effect of DNA structure on the deamination of guanine and cytosine, the NO.-induced de...
متن کاملMechanism of nitric oxide induced deamination of cytosine.
A five-step mechanism is proposed for the NO -induced deamination of cytosine. It has been investigated using DFT calculations, including both explicit water molecules and a bulk solvent model to mimic an aqueous environment. According to this mechanism, cytosine first undergoes tautomerization with the assistance of a water molecule from the bulk. A NO(+) cation produced by the autooxidation o...
متن کاملDNA cytosine methylation and heat-induced deamination.
The heat-induced conversion of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) residues to thymine residues and of cytosine to uracil residues in single-stranded DNA was studied. The calculated rates for deamination at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4 were approximately 9.5 X 10(-10) and 2.1 X 10(-10) sec-1, respectively. N4-Methyldeoxycytidine, which is in the DNA of certain thermophilic bacteria, was more heat-resistant than ...
متن کاملCytosine catalysis of nitrosative guanine deamination and interstrand cross-link formation.
Effects are discussed of the anisotropic DNA environment on nitrosative guanine deamination based on results of an ab initio study of the aggregate 3 formed by guaninediazonium ion 1 and cytosine 2. Within 3, the protonation of 2 by 1 is fast and exothermic and forms 6, an aggregate between betaine 4 (2-diazonium-9H-purin-6-olate) and cytosinium ion 5. Electronic structure analysis of 4 shows t...
