Structural study of DNA duplex containing an N-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl) formamide frameshift by NMR and restrained molecular dynamics.

ABSTRACT: The presence of an N-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl) formamide (F) residue, a ring fragmentation product of thymine, in a frameshift context in the sequence 5'-d-(AGGACCACG)*d(CGTGGFTCCT) has been studied by 1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and molecular dynamics. Two-dimensional NMR studies show that the formamide residue, whether the cis or trans isomer, is rotated out of the helix and that the bases on either side of the formamide residue in the sequence, G14 and T16, are stacked over each other in a way similar to normal B-DNA. The cis and trans isomers were observed in the ratio 3:2 in solution. Information extracted from 31P NMR data reveal a modification of the phosphodiester backbone conformation at the extrahelical site, which is also observed during the molecular dynamics simulations.

Project description:A major DNA oxidation product, 2,2-diamino-4-[(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-5(2H)-oxazolone (oxazolone), can be generated either directly by oxidation of dG or as a secondary oxidation product with an intermediate of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG). Site-specific mutagenesis studies indicate that oxazolone is a strongly mispairing lesion, inducing approximately 10-fold more mutations than 8-oxo-dG. While 8-oxo-dG undergoes facile further oxidation, oxazolone appears to be a stable final product of guanine oxidation, and, if formed in vivo, can potentially serve as a biomarker of DNA damage induced by oxidative stress. In this study, capillary liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) methods were developed to enable quantitative analysis of both 8-oxo-dG and oxazolone in DNA from biological sources. Sensitive and specific detection of 8-oxo-dG and oxazolone in enzymatic DNA hydrolysates was achieved by isotope dilution with the corresponding 15N-labeled internal standards. Both nucleobase adducts were formed in a dose-dependent manner in calf thymus DNA subjected to photooxidation in the presence of riboflavin. While the amounts of oxazolone continued to increase with the duration of irradiation, those of 8-oxo-dG reached a maximum at 20 min, suggesting that 8-oxo-dG is converted to secondary oxidation products. Both lesions were found in rat liver DNA isolated under carefully monitored conditions to minimize artifactual oxidation. Liver DNA of diabetic and control rats maintained on a diet high in animal fat contained 2-6 molecules of oxazolone per 10(7) guanines, while 8-oxo-dG amounts in the same samples were between 3 and 8 adducts per 10(6) guanines. The formation of oxazolone lesions in rat liver DNA, their relative stability in the presence of oxidants and their potent mispairing characteristics suggest that oxazolone may play a role in oxidative stress-mediated mutagenesis.
