Abstract
Cycling cells replicate their DNA during the S phase through a defined temporal program known as replication timing. Mutation frequencies, epigenetic chromatin states, and transcriptional activities are different for genomic regions that are replicated early and late in the S phase. Here, we found from ChIP-Seq analysis that DNA polymerase (Pol) κ is enriched in early-replicating genomic regions in HEK293T cells. In addition, by feeding cells with N 2-heptynyl-2'-deoxyguanosine followed by click chemistry-based enrichment and high-throughput sequencing, we observed elevated Pol κ activities in genomic regions that are replicated early in the S phase. On the basis of the established functions of Pol κ in accurate and efficient nucleotide insertion opposite endogenously induced N 2-modified dG lesions, our work suggests that active engagement of Pol κ may contribute to diminished mutation rates observed in early-replicating regions of the human genome, including cancer genomes. Together, our work expands the functions of Pol κ and offered a plausible mechanism underlying replication timing-dependent mutation accrual in the human genome.

Abstract
DNA polymerase κ (Polκ) is a specialized polymerase that has multiple cellular roles such as translesion DNA synthesis, replication of repetitive sequences, and nucleotide excision repair. We have developed a method for capturing DNA synthesized by Polκ utilizing a Polκ-specific substrate, N2-(4-ethynylbenzyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine (EBndG). After shearing of the DNA into 200 to 500 bp lengths, the EBndG-containing DNA was covalently bound to biotin using the Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction and isolated with streptavidin beads. Isolated DNA was then ligated to adaptors, followed by PCR amplification and next-generation sequencing to generate genome-wide repair maps. We have termed this method polymerase κ sequencing. Here, we present the human genome maps for Polκ activity in an undamaged cell line. We found that Polκ activity was enhanced in GC-rich regions, euchromatin regions, the promoter of genes, and in DNA that is replicated early in the S phase.

Abstract
Understanding the occurrence, repair, and biological consequences of DNA damage is important in environmental toxicology and risk assessment. The most common way to assess DNA damage elicited by exogenous sources in a laboratory setting is to expose cells or experimental animals with chemicals that modify DNA. Owing to the lack of reaction specificities of DNA damaging agents, the approach frequently does not allow for induction of a specific DNA lesion. Herein, we employed metabolic labeling to selectively incorporate N2-methyl-dG (N2-MedG) and N2-n-butyl-dG (N2-nBudG) into genomic DNA of cultured mammalian cells, and investigated how the levels of the two lesions in cellular DNA are modulated by different DNA repair factors. Our results revealed that nucleotide excision repair (NER) exert moderate effects on the removal of N2-MedG and N2-nBudG from genomic DNA. We also observed that DNA polymerases κ and η contribute to the incorporation of N2-MedG into genomic DNA and modulate its repair in human cells. In addition, loss of ALKBH3 resulted in higher frequencies of N2-MedG and N2-nBuG incorporation into genomic DNA, suggesting a role of oxidative dealkylation in the reversal of these lesions. Together, our study provided new insights into the repair of minor-groove N2-alkyl-dG lesions in mammalian cells.

Abstract
To cope with unrepaired DNA lesions, cells are equipped with DNA damage tolerance mechanisms, including translesion synthesis (TLS). While TLS polymerases are well documented in facilitating replication across damaged DNA templates, it remains unknown whether TLS polymerases participate in transcriptional bypass of DNA lesions in cells. Herein, we employed the competitive transcription and adduct bypass assay to examine the efficiencies and fidelities of transcription across N2-alkyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (N2-alkyl-dG, alkyl = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, or n-butyl) lesions in HEK293T cells. We found that N2-alkyl-dG lesions strongly blocked transcription and elicited CC → AA tandem mutations in nascent transcripts, where adenosines were misincorporated opposite the lesions and their adjacent 5' nucleoside. Additionally, genetic ablation of Pol η, but not Pol κ, Pol ι, or Pol ζ, conferred marked diminutions in the transcriptional bypass efficiencies of the N2-alkyl-dG lesions, which is exacerbated by codepletion of Rev1 in Pol η-deficient background. We also observed that the repair of N2-nBu-dG was not pronouncedly affected by genetic depletion of Pol η or Rev1. Hence, our results provided insights into transcriptional perturbations induced by N2-alkyl-dG lesions and expanded the biological functions of TLS DNA polymerases.

Abstract
2-Formyl-2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dCHO ATP) was synthesized and tested as a substrate in enzymatic synthesis of DNA modified in the minor groove with a reactive aldehyde group. The multistep synthesis of dCHO ATP was based on the preparation of protected 2-dihydroxyethyl-2'-deoxyadenosine intemediate, which was triphosphorylated and converted to aldehyde through oxidative cleavage. The dCHO ATP triphosphate was a moderate substrate for KOD XL DNA polymerase, and was used for enzymatic synthesis of some sequences using primer extension (PEX). On the other hand, longer sequences (31-mer) with higher number of modifications, or sequences with modifications at adjacent positions did not give full extension. Single-nucleotide extension followed by PEX was used for site-specific incorporation of one aldehyde-linked adenosine into a longer 49-mer sequence. The reactive formyl group was used for cross-linking with peptides and proteins using reductive amination and for fluorescent labelling through oxime formation with an AlexaFluor647-linked hydroxylamine.

Abstract
Chemo- and site-specific modifications in oligonucleotides have wide applicability as mechanistic probes in chemical biology. However, methods that label specific sites in nucleic acids are scarce, especially for labeling DNA/RNA from biological or enzymatic sources rather than synthetic ones. Here we have employed a classical reaction, reductive amination, to selectively functionalize the N2-amine of guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine monophosphate (GMP/dGMP). This method specifically modifies guanine in DNA and RNA oligonucleotides, while leaving the other nucleobases unaffected. Using this approach, we have successfully incorporated a reactive handle chemoselectively into nucleic acids for further functionalization and downstream applications.

Abstract
Five 2-substituted 2'-deoxyinosine triphosphates (dRITP) were synthesized and tested as substrates in enzymatic synthesis of minor-groove base-modified DNA. Only 2-methyl and 2-vinyl derivatives proved to be good substrates for Therminator DNA polymerase, whilst all other dRITPs and other tested DNA polymerases did not give full length products in primer extension. The DNA containing 2-vinylhypoxanthine was then further modified through thiol-ene reactions with thiols. Cross-linking reaction between cysteine-containing minor-groove binding dodecapeptide and DNA proceeded thanks to the proximity effect between thiol and vinyl groups inside the minor groove. 2-Substituted dIRTPs and also previously prepared 2-substituted 2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphates (dRATP) were then used for enzymatic synthesis of minor-groove modified DNA to study the effect of minor-groove modifications on cleavage of DNA by type II restriction endonucleases (REs). Although the REs should recognize the sequence through H-bonds in the major groove, some minor-groove modifications also had an inhibiting effect on the cleavage.

Abstract
DNA polymerase (pol) kappa is a Y-family translesion DNA polymerase conserved throughout all domains of life. Pol kappa is special6 ized for the ability to copy DNA containing minor groove DNA adducts, especially N2-dG adducts, as well as to extend primer termini containing DNA damage or mismatched base pairs. Pol kappa generally cannot copy DNA containing major groove modifications or UV-induced photoproducts. Pol kappa can also copy structured or non-B-form DNA, such as microsatellite DNA, common fragile sites, and DNA containing G quadruplexes. Thus, pol kappa has roles both in maintaining and compromising genomic integrity. The expression of pol kappa is altered in several different cancer types, which can lead to genome instability. In addition, many cancer-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been reported in the POLK gene, some of which are associated with poor survival and altered chemotherapy response. Because of this, identifying inhibitors of pol kappa is an active area of research. This review will address these activities of pol kappa, with a focus on lesion bypass and cellular mutagenesis.

Abstract
Genomic integrity is constantly challenged by exposure to environmental and endogenous genotoxic agents. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) represent one of the most common types of DNA damaging agents. While ROS mainly induce single-nucleobase lesions, epimeric 2-deoxyribose lesions can also be induced upon hydrogen atom abstraction from the C1', C3', or C4' carbon and the subsequent incorrect chemical repair of the resulting carbon-centered radicals. Herein, we investigated the replicative bypass of the C1'- and C3'-epimeric lesions of the four 2'-deoxynucleosides in HEK293T human embryonic kidney epithelial cells. Our results revealed distinct bypass efficiencies and mutagenic properties of these two types of epimeric lesions. Replicative bypasses of all C1'-epimeric lesions except α-dA are mutagenic in HEK293T cells, and their mutagenic properties are further modulated by translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases. By contrast, none of the four C3'-epimeric lesions are mutagenic, and the replicative bypass of these lesions is not compromised upon depletion of polymerase η, ι, κ, or ζ. Together, our results provide important new knowledge about the cytotoxic and mutagenic properties of C1' and C3' epimeric lesions, and reveal the roles of TLS DNA polymerases in bypassing these lesions in human cells.

Abstract
A series of 2-alkylamino-2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphates (dATP) was prepared and found to be substrates for the Therminator DNA polymerase, which incorporated only one modified nucleotide into the primer. Using a template encoding for two consecutive adenines, conditions were found for incorporation of either one or two modified nucleotides. In all cases, addition of a mixture of natural dNTPs led to primer extension resulting in site-specific single modification of DNA in the minor groove. The allylamino-substituted DNA was used for the thiol-ene addition, whereas the propargylamino-DNA for the CuAAC click reaction was used to label the DNA with a fluorescent dye in the minor groove. The approach was used to construct FRET probes for detection of oligonucleotides.

Abstract
DNA damage is a constant threat and can be bypassed in a process called translesion synthesis, which is typically carried out by Y-family DNA polymerases. Y-family DNA polymerases are conserved in all domains of life and tend to have specificity for certain types of DNA damage. Escherichia coli DinB and its human ortholog pol κ can bypass specific minor groove deoxyguanine adducts efficiently and are inhibited by major groove adducts, as Y-family DNA polymerases make contacts with the minor groove side of the DNA substrate and lack contacts with the major groove at the nascent base pair. DinB is inhibited by major groove adducts more than pol κ, and they each have active site loops of different lengths, with four additional amino acids in the DinB loop. We previously showed that the R35A active site loop mutation in DinB allows for bypass of the major groove adduct N6-furfuryl-dA. These observations led us to investigate the different active site loops by creating loop swap chimeras of DinB with a pol κ loop and vice versa by changing the loop residues in a stepwise fashion. We then determined their activity with undamaged DNA or DNA containing N2-furfuryl-dG or N6-furfuryl-dA. The DinB proteins with the pol kappa loop have low activity on all templates but have decreased misincorporation compared to either wild-type protein. The kappa proteins with the DinB loop retain activity on all templates and have decreased misincorporation compared to either wild-type protein. We assessed the thermal stability of the proteins and observed an increase in stability in the presence of all DNA templates and additional increases generally only in the presence of the undamaged and N2-furfuryl-dG adduct and dCTP, which correlates with activity. Overall we find that pol κ is more tolerant to changes in the active site loop than DinB.
