Nucleotide insertion kinetics opposite abasic lesions in DNA.
A gel assay is introduced to measure DNA polymerase insertion kinetics at single sites along a DNA template strand. The assay is used to analyze the kinetics of inserting deoxynucleotides opposite a synthetic abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lesions using Drosophila DNA polymerase alpha. The location of the abasic lesion next to different nearest-neighbor bases allows the effects of base stacking...
متن کاملKinetics of Nucleotide Incorporation Opposite DNA Bulky Guanine N Adducts by Processive Bacteriophage T7 DNA Polymerase
Six oligonucleotides with carcinogen derivatives bound at the N2 atom of deoxyguanosine were prepared, including adducts derived from butadiene, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, and styrene, and examined for effects on the replicative enzymes bacteriophage DNA polymerase T7 (T7 ) and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase for comparison with previous work on smaller DNA adducts. All of these adducts strongly blo...
متن کاملComputational Evaluation of Nucleotide Insertion Opposite Expanded and Widened DNA by the Translesion Synthesis Polymerase Dpo4.
Expanded (x) and widened (y) deoxyribose nucleic acids (DNA) have an extra benzene ring incorporated either horizontally (xDNA) or vertically (yDNA) between a natural pyrimidine base and the deoxyribose, or between the 5- and 6-membered rings of a natural purine. Far-reaching applications for (x,y)DNA include nucleic acid probes and extending the natural genetic code. Since modified nucleobases...
متن کاملDNA oligonucleotides with A, T, G or C opposite an abasic site: structure and dynamics
Abasic sites are common DNA lesions resulting from spontaneous depurination and excision of damaged nucleobases by DNA repair enzymes. However, the influence of the local sequence context on the structure of the abasic site and ultimately, its recognition and repair, remains elusive. In the present study, duplex DNAs with three different bases (G, C or T) opposite an abasic site have been synth...
متن کاملDNA synthesis across an abasic lesion by human DNA polymerase iota.
Abasic sites are among the most abundant DNA lesions formed in human cells, and they present a strong block to replication. DNA polymerase iota (Poliota) is one of the few DNA Pols that does not follow the A-rule opposite an abasic site. We present here three structures of human Poliota in complex with DNAs containing an abasic lesion and dGTP, dTTP, or dATP as the incoming nucleotide. The stru...
