  • Title: DNA-protein cross-links between guanine and lysine depend on the mechanism of oxidation for formation of C5 vs C8 guanosine adducts.

    Abstract:
    The reaction between N(alpha)-acetyllysine methyl ester (Lys) and 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) was used to study structural aspects of DNA-protein cross-link (DPC) formation. The precise structure of DPCs depended on the nature of the oxidant and cross-linking reactions in which a series of different oxidation conditions generated a distribution of adducts, principally spirodiiminodihydantoins with lysine appended at the purine position of C5 (5-Lys-Sp), C8 (8-Lys-Sp), or both C5 and C8 (5,8-diLys-Sp). Singlet oxygen oxidation of dGuo produced 5-Lys-Sp exclusively when Rose Bengal or methylene blue was used to photochemically generate (1)O2 in the presence of Lys, whereas riboflavin or benzophenone-mediated photochemistry generated lysine radicals and led to C8 adduct formation, yielding 8-Lys-Sp and 5,8-diLys-Sp. Notably, the yield of dGuo modifications from riboflavin photooxidation increased dramatically in the presence of lysine. Oxidation of deoxyguanosine/lysine mixtures with Na2IrCl6 or sulfate radicals produced both 5-Lys-Sp and 8-Lys-Sp. The same adducts were formed in single and double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides, and these could be analyzed after nuclease digestion. Adduct formation in duplex DNA was somewhat dependent on the accessibility of lysine to C5 vs C8 of the purine. No adduct formation was detected between lysine and the other nucleobases T, C, or A. Overall, the precise location of adduct formation at C5 vs C8 of guanine appears to be diagnostic of the oxidation pathway.
