Mutagenic Effects of a 2-Deoxyribonolactone-Thymine Glycol Tandem DNA Lesion in Human Cells.

ABSTRACT: Tandem DNA lesions containing two contiguously damaged nucleotides are commonly formed by ionizing radiation. Their effects on replication in mammalian cells are largely unknown. Replication of isolated 2-deoxyribonolactone (L), thymine glycol (Tg), and tandem lesion 5'-LTg was examined in human cells. Although nearly 100% of Tg was bypassed in HEK 293T cells, L was a significant replication block. 5'-LTg was an even stronger replication block with 5% TLS efficiency. The mutation frequency (MF) of Tg was 3.4%, which increased to 3.9% and 4.8% in pol ?- and pol ?-deficient cells, respectively. An even greater increase in the MF of Tg (to ?5.5%) was observed in cells deficient in both pol ? and pol ?, suggesting that they work together to bypass Tg in an error-free manner. Isolated L bypass generated 12-18% one-base deletions, which increased as much as 60% in TLS polymerase-deficient cells. The fraction of deletion products also increased in TLS polymerase-deficient cells upon 5'-LTg bypass. In full-length products and in all cell types, dA was preferentially incorporated opposite an isolated L as well as when it was part of a tandem lesion. However, misincorporation opposite Tg increased significantly when it was part of a tandem lesion. In wild type cells, targeted mutations increased about 3-fold to 9.7% and to 17.4, 15.9, and 28.8% in pol ?-, pol ?-, and pol ?-deficient cells, respectively. Overall, Tg is significantly more miscoding as part of a tandem lesion, and error-free Tg replication in HEK 293T cells requires participation of the TLS polymerases.

Project description:Oxidative damage to 5-methylcytosine in DNA, followed by deamination, yields thymine glycol (Tg), 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymine, mispaired with deoxyguanosine. The structure of the 5R Tg.G mismatch pair has been refined using a combination of simulated annealing and isothermal molecular dynamics calculations restrained by NMR-derived distance restraints and torsion angle restraints in 5'-d(G(1)T(2)G(3)C(4)G(5)Tg(6)G(7)T(8)T(9)T(10)G(11)T(12))-3'.5'-d(A(13)C(14)A(15)A(16)A(17)C(18)G(19)C(20)G(21)C(22)A(23)C(24))-3'; Tg = 5R Tg. In this duplex the cis-5R,6S:trans-5R,6R equilibrium favors the cis-5R,6S epimer [Brown, K. L., Adams, T., Jasti, V. P., Basu, A. K., and Stone, M. P. (2008) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130, 11701-11710]. The cis-5R,6S Tg lesion is in the wobble orientation such that Tg(6) O(2) is proximate to G(19) N1H and Tg(6) N3H is proximate to G(19) O(6). Both Tg(6) and the mismatched nucleotide G(19) remain stacked in the helix. The Tg(6) nucleotide shifts toward the major groove and stacks below the 5'-neighbor base G(5), while its complement G(19) stacks below the 5'-neighbor C(20). In the 3'-direction, stacking between Tg(6) and the G(7).C(18) base pair is disrupted. The solvent-accessible surface area of the Tg nucleotide increases as compared to the native Watson-Crick hydrogen-bonded T.A base pair. An increase in T(2) relaxation rates for the Tg(6) base protons is attributed to puckering of the Tg base, accompanied by increased disorder at the Tg.G mismatch pair. The axial vs equatorial conformation of the Tg(6) CH(3) group cannot be determined with certainty from the NMR data. The rMD trajectories suggest that in either the axial or equatorial conformations the cis-5R,6S Tg lesion does not form strong intrastrand hydrogen bonds with the imidazole N7 atom of the 3'-neighbor purine G(7). The wobble pairing and disorder of the Tg.G mismatch correlate with the reduced thermodynamic stability of the mismatch and likely modulate its recognition by DNA base excision repair systems.

Project description:Comparative mutagenesis of gamma- or X-ray-induced tandem DNA lesions G[8,5-Me]T and T[5-Me,8]G intrastrand cross-links was investigated in simian (COS-7) and human embryonic (293T) kidney cells. For G[8,5-Me]T in 293T cells, 5.8% of progeny contained targeted base substitutions, whereas 10.0% showed semitargeted single-base substitutions. Of the targeted mutations, the G --> T mutation occurred with the highest frequency. The semitargeted mutations were detected up to two bases 5' and three bases 3' to the cross-link. The most prevalent semitargeted mutation was a C --> T transition immediately 5' to the G[8,5-Me]T cross-link. Frameshifts (4.6%) (mostly small deletions) and multiple-base substitutions (2.7%) also were detected. For the T[5-Me,8]G cross-link, a similar pattern of mutations was noted, but the mutational frequency was significantly higher than that of G[8,5-Me]T. Both targeted and semitargeted mutations occurred with a frequency of approximately 16%, and both included a dominant G --> T transversion. As in 293T cells, more than twice as many targeted mutations in COS cells occurred in T[5-Me,8]G (11.4%) as in G[8,5-Me]T (4.7%). Also, the level of semitargeted single-base substitutions 5' to the lesion was increased and 3' to the lesion decreased in T[5-Me,8]G relative to G[8,5-Me]T in COS cells. It appeared that the majority of the base substitutions at or near the cross-links resulted from incorporation of dAMP opposite the template base, in agreement with the so-called "A-rule". To determine if human polymerase eta (hpol eta) might be involved in the mutagenic bypass, an in vitro bypass study of G[8,5-Me]T in the same sequence was carried out, which showed that hpol eta can bypass the cross-link incorporating the correct dNMP opposite each cross-linked base. For G[8,5-Me]T, nucleotide incorporation by hpol eta was significantly different from that by yeast pol eta in that the latter was more error-prone opposite the cross-linked Gua. The incorporation of the correct nucleotide, dAMP, by hpol eta opposite cross-linked T was 3-5-fold more efficient than that of a wrong nucleotide, whereas incorporation of dCMP opposite the cross-linked G was 10-fold more efficient than that with dTMP. Therefore, the nucleotide incorporation pattern by hpol eta was not consistent with the observed cellular mutations. Nevertheless, at and near the lesion, hpol eta was more error-prone compared to a control template. The in vitro data suggest that translesion synthesis by another Y-family DNA polymerase and/or flawed participation of an accessory protein is a more likely scenario in the mutagenesis of these lesions in mammalian cells. However, hpol eta may play a role in correct bypass of the cross-links.
