Abstract
DNA damage mediated by reactive oxygen species generates miscoding and blocking lesions that may lead to mutations or cell death. Base excision repair (BER) constitutes a universal mechanism for removing oxidatively damaged bases and restoring the integrity of genomic DNA. In Escherichia coli, the DNA glycosylases Nei, Fpg, and Nth initiate BER of oxidative lesions; OGG1 and NTH1 proteins fulfill a similar function in mammalian cells. Three human genes, designated NEIL1, NEIL2 and NEIL3, encode proteins that contain sequence homologies to Nei and Fpg. We have cloned the corresponding mouse genes and have overexpressed and purified mNeil1, a DNA glycosylase that efficiently removes a wide spectrum of mutagenic and cytotoxic DNA lesions. These lesions include the two cis-thymineglycol(Tg) stereoisomers, guanine- and adenine-derived formamidopyrimidines, and 5,6-dihydrouracil. Two of these lesions, fapyA and 5S,6R thymine glycol, are not excised by mOgg1 or mNth1. We have also used RNA interference technology to establish embryonic stem cell lines deficient in Neil1 protein and showed them to be sensitive to low levels of gamma-irradiation. The results of these studies suggest that Neil1 is an essential component of base excision repair in mammalian cells; its presence may contribute to the redundant repair capacity observed in Ogg1 -/- and Nth1 -/- mice.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to DNA generates 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). During DNA replication and repair synthesis, 8-oxodG can pair with cytosine or adenine. The ability to accurately replicate through this lesion depends on the DNA polymerase. We report the first structure of a polymerase with a promutagenic DNA lesion, 8-oxodG, in the confines of its active site. The modified guanine residue is in an anti conformation and forms Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds with an incoming dCTP. To accommodate the oxygen at C8, the 5'-phosphate backbone of the templating nucleotide flips 180 degrees. Thus, the flexibility of the template sugar-phosphate backbone near the polymerase active site is one parameter that influences the anti-syn equilibrium of 8-oxodG. Our results provide insights into the mechanisms employed by polymerases to select the complementary dNTP.

Abstract
Comparative mutagenesis studies of N-(2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-AAF) and N-(2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene (dG-AF) adducts positioned in the Nar I restriction enzyme site were performed using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and simian kidney (COS-7) cells. Oligodeoxynucleotides ((5)(')TCCTCG(1)G(2)CG(3)CCTCTC) containing a recognition sequence for the Nar I restriction enzyme were modified site-specifically with dG-AAF or dG-AF. Modified and unmodified oligomers inserted into single-stranded phagemid shuttle vectors were used to transform E. coli or to transfect COS-7 cells. Following replication in host cells, progeny plasmids were recovered and analyzed for mutations. In SOS-induced E. coli, dG-AAF primarily induced one- and two-base deletions. The mutational frequency varied, depending on the position modified in the Nar I site; 91% two-base deletions were observed at G(3), while 8.4% and 2.8% deletions were detected at G(2) and G(1), respectively. In contrast, dG-AF at any position in the Nar I site failed to produce deletions, generating primarily G --> T transversions (mutational frequency, 7.6-8.4%). In COS-7 cells, both dG-AAF and dG-AF primarily induced G --> T transversions. Mutation frequencies for dG-AAF were 9.4-24%, the highest values being at G(1) and G(3). Mutation frequencies for dG-AF were 9.3-21%, the higher value at G(2). We conclude from this study that the mutation potential of dG-AAF and dG-AF depends on the structure of the adduct, the sequence context of the lesion, and the host cell used for the experiment.

Abstract
An essential function of DNA glycosylases is the recognition and excision of damaged bases in DNA, thereby preserving genomic integrity. Lesion recognition is a multistep process, which is only partially revealed by structural analysis of the catalytically competent complex. The functional role of additional residues can be predicted by combining structural data with analysis of amino acid conservation. The following postulate underlies this approach: if a family or superfamily can be broken into subgroups with different substrate specificities, residues highly conserved between these subgroups represent those important for enzyme catalysis and structure maintenance while residues highly conserved within a subgroup but not between subgroups represent residues important for substrate specificity. We review the bioinformatics approach used for this quantitative analysis and describe its application to the Nth superfamily and Fpg family of DNA glycosylases. These results serve as a starting point in planning site-directed mutagenesis experiments to elucidate the functional role of similar and dissimilar residues in DNA repair and other proteins.

Abstract
Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) is a DNA repair enzyme that excises oxidized purines from damaged DNA. The Schiff base intermediate formed during this reaction between Escherichia coli Fpg and DNA was trapped by reduction with sodium borohydride, and the structure of the resulting covalently cross-linked complex was determined at a 2.1-A resolution. Fpg is a bilobal protein with a wide, positively charged DNA-binding groove. It possesses a conserved zinc finger and a helix-two turn-helix motif that participate in DNA binding. The absolutely conserved residues Lys-56, His-70, Asn-168, and Arg-258 form hydrogen bonds to the phosphodiester backbone of DNA, which is sharply kinked at the lesion site. Residues Met-73, Arg-109, and Phe-110 are inserted into the DNA helix, filling the void created by nucleotide eversion. A deep hydrophobic pocket in the active site is positioned to accommodate an everted base. Structural analysis of the Fpg-DNA complex reveals essential features of damage recognition and the catalytic mechanism of Fpg.

Abstract
Several recently discovered human DNA polymerases are associated with translesion synthesis past DNA adducts. These include human DNA polymerase kappa (pol kappa), a homologue of Escherichia coli pol IV, which enhances the frequency of spontaneous mutation. Using a truncated form of pol kappa (pol kappa Delta C), translesion synthesis past dG-(+)- or dG-(-)-anti-N(2)-BPDE (7,8-dihydroxy-anti-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene) adducts was explored. Site-specifically-modified oligodeoxynucleotides containing a single stereoisomeric dG-N(2)-BPDE lesion were used as DNA templates for primer extension reactions catalyzed by pol kappa Delta C. Primer extension was retarded one base prior to the dG-N(2)-BPDE lesion; when incubated for longer times or with higher concentration of enzyme, full primer extension was observed. Quantitative analysis of fully extended products showed preferential incorporation of dCMP, the correct base, opposite all four stereoisomeric dG-N(2)-BPDE lesions. (+)-trans-dG-N(2)-BPDE, a major BPDE-DNA adduct, promoted small amounts of dTMP, dAMP, and dGMP misincorporation opposite the lesion (total 2.7% of the starting primers) and deletions (1.1%). Although (+)-cis-dG-N(2)-BPDE was most effective in blocking translesion synthesis, its miscoding properties were similar to other dG-N(2)-BPDE isomers. Steady-state kinetic data indicate that dCMP is efficiently inserted opposite all dG-N(2)-BPDE adducts and extended past these lesions. The relative frequency of translesion synthesis (F(ins) x F(ext)) of dC.dG-N(2)-BPDE pairs was 2-6 orders of magnitude higher than that of other mismatched pairs. Pol kappa may play an important role in translesion synthesis by incorporating preferentially the correct base opposite dG-N(2)-BPDE. Its relatively low contribution to mutagenicity suggests that other newly discovered DNA polymerase(s) may be involved in mutagenic events attributed to dG-N(2)-BPDE adducts in human cells.

Abstract
Endonuclease VIII (Nei) of Escherichia coli is a DNA repair enzyme that excises oxidized pyrimidines from DNA. Nei shares with formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) sequence homology and a similar mechanism of action: the latter involves removal of the damaged base followed by two sequential beta-elimination steps. However, Nei differs significantly from Fpg in substrate specificity. We determined the structure of Nei covalently crosslinked to a 13mer oligodeoxynucleotide duplex at 1.25 A resolution. The crosslink is derived from a Schiff base intermediate that precedes beta-elimination and is stabilized by reduction with NaBH(4). Nei consists of two domains connected by a hinge region, creating a DNA binding cleft between domains. DNA in the complex is sharply kinked, the deoxyribitol moiety is bound covalently to Pro1 and everted from the duplex into the active site. Amino acids involved in substrate binding and catalysis are identified. Molecular modeling and analysis of amino acid conservation suggest a site for recognition of the damaged base. Based on structural features of the complex and site-directed mutagenesis studies, we propose a catalytic mechanism for Nei.

Abstract
Acrolein, widely distributed in the environment and also produced endogenously, forms deoxyguanosine adducts in DNA. The genotoxicity of the major acrolein-dG adduct, 8alpha and 8beta isomers of 3H-8-hydroxy-3-(beta-D-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,2-a]purine-9-one (gamma-OH-PdG), and the model adduct, PdG, which lacks the hydroxy group of gamma-OH-PdG, was investigated in human cells. The adducts were site-specifically incorporated into a SV40/BK origin-based shuttle vector. Estimated efficiencies of translesion DNA synthesis were 73% for gamma-OH-PdG and 25% for PdG when compared with dG control. Gamma-OH-PdG was marginally miscoding (<or=1%), inducing G-->T and G-->A base substitutions in HeLa and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XP-A) and variant (XP-V) cells. There was no significant difference in the miscoding frequency when the adduct was inserted in the leading or lagging strand. PdG was more miscoding than gamma-OH-PdG by inducing targeted base substitutions (G-->T, A, or C) at a frequency of 7.5% in XP-A cells. Thus, the authentic major adduct, gamma-OH-PdG, is less blocking to DNA synthesis and less miscoding than the model adduct, PdG.

Abstract
Human DNA polymerase kappa (pol kappa) has a sequence significantly homologous with that of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase IV (pol IV). We used a truncated form of human pol kappa (pol kappaDeltaC) and full-length pol IV to explore the miscoding properties of these enzymes. Oligodeoxynucleotides, modified site-specifically with N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-AAF) and N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene (dG-AF), were used as DNA templates in primer extension reactions that included all four dNTPs. Reactions catalyzed by pol kappaDeltaC were partially blocked one base prior to dG-AAF or dG-AF, and also opposite both lesions. At higher enzyme concentrations, a significant fraction of primer was extended. Analysis of the fully extended reaction product revealed incorporation of dTMP opposite dG-AAF, accompanied by much smaller amounts of dCMP, dAMP, and dGMP and some one- and two-base deletions. The product terminating 3' to the adduct site contained AMP misincorporated opposite dC. On templates containing dG-AF, dAMP, dTMP, and dCMP were incorporated opposite the lesion in approximately equal amounts, together with some one-base and two-base deletions. Steady-state kinetics analysis confirmed the results obtained from primer extension reactions catalyzed by pol kappa. In contract, primer extension reactions catalyzed by pol IV were blocked effectively by dG-AAF and dG-AF. At high concentrations of pol IV, full-length products were formed containing primarily one- or two-base deletions with dCMP, the correct base, incorporated opposite dG-AF. The miscoding properties of pol kappa observed in this study are consistent with mutational spectra observed when plasmid vectors containing dG-AAF or dG-AF are introduced into simian kidney cells [Shibutani, S., et al. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 3717-3722], supporting a model in which pol kappa plays a role in translesion synthesis past acetylaminofluorene-derived lesions in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Site-specifically modified oligodeoxynucleotides were used to explore the influence of neighboring base sequence context on the mutagenic potential of N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-AAF) and N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene (dG-AF) in mammalian cells. Oligodeoxynucleotides ((5)(')TCCTCCTNXNCTCTC, where X is dG-AAF, dG-AF, or dG and N is C, A, G, or T) with different bases flanking the lesion were incorporated into a single-strand shuttle plasmid vector and used to establish the mutational frequency and specificity of dG-AAF and dG-AF adducts in simian kidney (COS-7) cells. Vectors containing dG-AAF promote preferential incorporation of dCMP at the site of the lesion; misincorporation of dAMP and dTMP also was observed. Mutational frequencies range from 11 to 23%. High mutational frequencies (18-23%) were observed when G or T was positioned 5' to dG-AAF and a lower frequency (11%) when C was 5' to the lesion. dCMP was predominantly incorporated opposite the dG-AF adduct when C, A, or T was 5' to the lesion; dAMP and dTMP were misincorporated at a frequency of 2-4%. With G 5' to the lesion, the overall mutational frequency for dG-AF ranged between 11 and 70%; the highest value occurred when C was the 3' flanking base, and the predominant mutation event was G --> T transversion (59%). We conclude from these experiments that dG-AAF and dG-AF promote G --> T transversions and G --> A transitions in mammalian cells. The mutational frequency and specificity of dG-AF vary significantly, depending on the nature of the bases flanking the lesion.

Abstract
MutY participates in the repair of oxidatively damaged DNA by excising adenine from dA:dG and dA:8-oxodG mispairs; this DNA glycosylase can be cross-linked to DNA through Lys-142. We have investigated the properties of a mutant protein in which Lys-142 is replaced by glutamine. Using the rifampicin resistance assay, MutY K142Q was shown to complement the mutY mutator phenotype to the same extent as wild-type MutY. Although MutY K142Q does not form a Schiff base with DNA, it retains in part the catalytic properties of wild-type enzyme. The K142Q mutation selectively impairs processing of DNA containing dA:dG mispairs but not that of substrates containing dA:8-oxodG. Decreased substrate processing is mediated primarily via an increase in K(D) (21.8 nM for MutY vs 298 nM for MutY K142Q). The catalytic constant, measured in single turnover experiments, was not significantly affected. At pH < 6.0, the activity of MutY K142Q on the dA:dG mispair was approximately the same as for wild-type protein, suggesting that a dG(anti) to dG(syn) transition is effected at low pH. The three-dimensional structure of the catalytic domain of MutY K142Q, determined at 1.35 A resolution, shows no significant differences between wild-type and mutant protein, indicating that Lys-142 is not critical for maintaining the conformation of MutY. We conclude that Lys-142 recognizes guanine in the dA:dG mispair, helping position this residue in the syn conformation and facilitating binding of substrate DNA. Lys-142 is not involved in the catalytic steps of base excision.

Abstract
To study the mechanisms by which Escherichia coli modulates the genotoxic effects of DNA damage, a novel system has been developed which permits quantitative measurements of various E. coli pathways involved in mutagenesis and DNA repair. Events measured include fidelity and efficiency of translesion DNA synthesis, excision repair, and recombination repair. Our strategy involves heteroduplex plasmid DNA bearing a single site-specific DNA adduct and several mismatched regions. The plasmid replicates in a mismatch repair-deficient host with the mismatches serving as strand-specific markers. Analysis of progeny plasmid DNA for linkage of the strand-specific markers identifies the pathway from which the plasmid is derived. Using this approach, a single 1, N(6)-ethenodeoxyadenosine adduct was shown to be repaired inefficiently by excision repair, to inhibit DNA synthesis by approximately 80 to 90%, and to direct the incorporation of correct dTMP opposite this adduct. This approach is especially useful in analyzing the damage avoidance-tolerance mechanisms. Our results also show that (i) progeny derived from the damage avoidance-tolerance pathway(s) accounts for more than 15% of all progeny; (ii) this pathway(s) requires functional recA, recF, recO, and recR genes, suggesting the mechanism to be daughter strand gap repair; (iii) the ruvABC genes or the recG gene is also required; and (iv) the RecG pathway appears to be more active than the RuvABC pathway. Based on these results, the mechanism of the damage avoidance-tolerance pathway is discussed.

Abstract
Genomic DNA is prone to oxidation by reactive oxygen species. A major product of DNA oxidation is the miscoding base 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). The mutagenic effects of 8-oxoG in mammalian cells are prevented by a DNA repair system consisting of 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (Ogg1), adenine-DNA glycosylase, and 8-oxo-dGTPase. We have cloned, overexpressed, and characterized mOgg1, the product of the murine ogg1 gene. mOgg1 is a DNA glycosylase/AP lyase belonging to the endonuclease III family of DNA repair enzymes. The AP lyase activity of mOgg1 is significantly lower than its glycosylase activity. mOgg1 releases 8-oxoG from DNA when paired with C, T, or G, but efficient DNA strand nicking is observed only with 8-oxoG:C. Binding of mOgg1 to oligonucleotides containing 8-oxoG:C is strong (K(D) = 51.5 nm), unlike other mispairs. The average residence time for mOgg1 bound to substrate containing 8-oxoG:C is 18.3 min; the time course for accumulation of the NaBH(4)-sensitive intermediate suggests a two-step reaction mechanism. Various analogs of 8-oxoG were tested as substrates for mOgg1. An electron-withdrawing or hydrogen bond acceptor moiety at C8 is required for efficient binding of mOgg1. A substituent at C6 and a keto group at C8 are required for cleavage. The proposed mechanism of 8-oxoG excision involves protonation of O(8) or the deoxyribose oxygen moiety.

Abstract
To study the genotoxic properties of 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (epsilondA) in human cells, a novel site-specific mutagenesis approach was developed, in which a single DNA adduct was uniquely placed in either strand of a shuttle plasmid vector. The analysis of progeny plasmid derived from the modified strand shows that epsilondA, when incorporated into the position of the second A of 5'-CAA (codon 61 of the ras gene), is mutagenic in human cells, inducing A-->T, A-->G, and A-->C mutations. The efficient induction of A-->T transversions in experiments using modified double- and singlestranded DNA substrates supports the hypothesis that A:T-->T:A transversions in human and animal tumors induced by vinyl compounds reflect misinsertion of dAMP opposite this adduct. Mutagenic events were similar when the adduct was incorporated into either the leading or the lagging strand. EpsilondA was more mutagenic than 8-oxodeoxyguanosine, which induced targeted G-->T transversions in HeLa cells. In Escherichia coli, epsilondA did not significantly miscode (<0.27%) even in the presence of induced SOS functions.

The risk of developing endometrial cancer increases significantly for women treated with tamoxifen (TAM); the present study was designed to investigate the mechanism of this carcinogenic effect. Endometrial tissue was obtained from 16 women treated for varying lengths of time with TAM and from 15 untreated control subjects. DNA was analyzed with a (32)P-post-labeling/HPLC on-line monitoring assay capable of detecting 2.5 adducts/10(10) nucleotides. Using this sensitive and specific assay, TAM-DNA adducts were detected in eight women. The major adducts found were trans and cis epimers of alpha-(N(2)-deoxyguanosinyl) tamoxifen (dG-N(2)-TAM); levels ranged between 0.2-12 and 1.6-8.3 adducts/10(8) nucleotides, respectively. There was marked inter-individual variation in the relative amounts of cis and trans adducts present. Low levels (0.74-1.1 adducts/10(8) nucleotides) of trans and cis forms of dG-N(2)-TAM N-oxide were detected in one patient. DNA adducts derived from 4-hydroxytamoxifen quinone methide were not observed. We conclude from this analysis that trans and cis dG-N(2)-TAMs accumulate in significant amounts in the endometrium of many, but not all, women treated with this drug. The level of adducts found, coupled with the previous demonstration of their mutagenicity [Cancer Res., 59, 2091, 1999], suggest that a genotoxic mechanism may be responsible for TAM-induced endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Electrospray mass spectrometry techniques were used to characterize components of the active site in Endonuclease VIII by identifying the amino acid sequence and the binding site for a tryptic peptide derived from Endo VIII in a cross-linked DNA-peptide complex. Endo VIII, a DNA repair enzyme with both glycosylase and lyase activities, was covalently bound to a thymidine glycol-containing oligodeoxynucleotide duplex by converting a transient Schiff base formed during the course of the glycosylase activity to a stable covalent bond by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride. After tryptic digestion of the initial product, the identification of the cross-linked peptide was deduced initially from the molecular mass of the tryptic product obtained by negative ion electrospray mass analysis. Nanospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of the tryptic product corroborated the molecular mass of the peptide fragment and verified the point of attachment to the oligomer, but failed to produce sufficient fragmentation to sequence the peptide completely. Direct evidence for the amino acid sequence of the peptide was obtained after enzymatic digestion of the DNA portion of the cross-linked DNA-peptide product and analysis by negative ion nanospray MS/MS. Examination of the ions from collision induced fragmentation disclosed that this substance was the N-terminal tryptic fragment of Endo VIII cross-linked to a portion of the oligomer, and that the N-terminal proline from Endo VIII was covalently bound to the residual deoxyribose moiety at the original location of the thymine glycol in the oligomer.

Abstract
The mutagenic potential of three exocyclic DNA adducts was studied in Escherichia coli and simian kidney cells by incorporating them into single-stranded DNA. Differences in the mutagenic potency of the adducts were observed between hosts: 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine and 3,N4-ethenodeoxycytidine were more mutagenic in simian cells, whereas 1,N2-(1,3-propan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine was more mutagenic in E. coli. To investigate the cellular response to DNA adducts, a double-stranded DNA vector system was developed. Use of this system showed that 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine blocks DNA synthesis strongly, and DNA synthesis past this adduct was highly accurate in E. coli. The blockage of DNA synthesis was overcome in an error-free manner by the recombination repair mechanism (daughter-strand gap repair).

Abstract
To understand how the active site of a DNA polymerase might modulate the coding of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydrodeoxyguanine (8-oxodG), we performed steady-state kinetic analyses using wild-type DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) and two active-site mutants. We compared the coding of these polymerases by calculating the ratio of efficiencies for incorporation of dATP and dCTP opposite 8-oxodG and for incorporation of 8-oxodGTP opposite dA and dC. For wild-type pol beta, there is a 2:1 preference for incorporation of dCTP over dATP opposite 8-oxodG using a 5'-phosphorylated 4-base gap substrate. Mutation of either Asn279 or Arg283 to alanine has almost no effect on the ratio. 8-OxodGTP is preferentially incorporated opposite a template dA (24:1) by wild-type pol beta; mutation of Asn279 to alanine results dramatic change whereby there is preferential incorporation of 8-oxodGTP opposite dC (14:1). This suggests that interactions of 8-oxodGTP with Asn279 in the polymerase active site may alter the conformation of 8-oxodGTP and therefore alter its misincorporation.

Abstract
3,N(4)-Ethano-2'-deoxycytidine (ethano-dC) may be incorporated successfully into synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides by omitting the capping procedure used in the automated DNA synthetic protocols immediately after inserting the lesion and in all iterations thereafter. Ethano-dC is sensitive to acetic anhydride found in the capping reagent, and multiple oligomeric products are formed. These products were identified by examining the reaction of ethano-dC with the capping reagent, and several acetylated, ring-opened products were characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry and collision induced dissociation experiments on a tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer. A scheme for the formation of the acetylated products is proposed. In addition, the mutagenic profile of ethano-dC was re-examined and compared to that for etheno-dC. Ethano-dC is principally a blocking lesion; however, when encountered by the exo(-)Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase, dAMP (22%), TMP (16%), dGMP (5.3%) and dCMP (1.2%) were all incorporated opposite ethano-dC, along with an oligomer containing a one-base deletion (0.6%).

Abstract
The comparative mutagenicity of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-oxodA) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) was explored using simian kidney (COS-7) cells. Oligodeoxynucleotides ¿5'-TCCTCCT- G(1)X(2)CCTCTC or 5'-TCCTCCTX(1)G(2)CCTCTC (X = dA, dG, 8-oxodA or 8-oxodG) containing 8-oxodA or 8-oxodG positioned within codon 60 or 61 of the non-coding strand of human c-Ha-ras1 gene were inserted into a single-stranded phagemid shuttle vector. The vector was replicated in COS-7 cells and the progeny plasmids were used to transform Escherichia coli DH10B. The transformants were analyzed by oligodeoxynucleotide hybridization and DNA sequence analysis to establish the mutation frequency and specificity. When 8-oxodA was positioned at X(1), targeted A(oxo)-->C transversions were detected; the mutation frequency was 1.2%. When 8-oxodA was positioned at X(2), one targeted mutant among 416 colonies screened (an A(oxo)-->G transition) was detected. Thus, the mutation frequency and spectrum of 8-oxodA depend on the sequence context of the lesion. The mutation frequency of 8-oxodG at X(1) and X(2) was 5.2 and 6.8%, respectively. G(oxo)-->T transversions dominated the spectrum, accompanied by small numbers of G(oxo)-->A transitions and G(oxo)-->C transversions. We conclude that 8-oxodA has mutagenic potential in mammalian cells, generating A-->C transversions. However, when tested under similar conditions, the mutation frequency of 8-oxodA is at least four times lower than that of 8-oxodG.

Abstract
Site-specifically modified oligodeoxynucleotides were used to investigate the mutagenic properties of a major cooked food mutagen-derived DNA adduct, N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4, 5-b]pyridine (dG-C8-PhIP). dG-C8-PhIP-modified oligodeoxynucleotides were prepared by reacting an oligodeoxynucleotide containing a single dG (5'-TCCTCCTXGCCTCTC, where X = C, A, G, or T) with N-acetoxy-PhIP. The unmodified and dG-C8-PhIP-modified oligomers were inserted into single-stranded phagemid vectors. These single-stranded vectors were transfected into simian kidney (COS-7) cells. The progeny plasmid obtained was used to transform Escherichia coli DH10B. When dC was at the 5'-flanking position to dG-C8-PhIP, preferential incorporation of dCMP, the correct base, was observed opposite the dG-C8-PhIP. Targeted G --> T transversions were detected, along with lesser amounts of G --> A transitions and G --> C transversions. No mutations were detected for the unmodified vector. The influence of sequence context on the dG-C8-PhIP mutation frequency and spectrum was also explored. When the dC 5'-flanking base was replaced by dT, dA, or dG, the mutational spectra were similar to that observed with dC-flanking base. Higher mutational frequencies (28-30%) were observed when dC or dG was 5' to dG-C8-PhIP. A lower mutational frequency (13%) was observed when dA was at the 5' to the lesion. Single-base deletions were detected only when dG or dT flanked the adduct. We conclude that dG-C8-PhIP is mutagenic, generating primarily G --> T transversions in mammalian cells. The mutational frequency and specificity of dG-C8-PhIP vary depending on the neighboring sequence context.
