Abstract
The antitumor effect of Pt-based drugs is determined by their binding activity with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and understanding the reaction process in a systematic manner is crucial. However, existing assays used for DNA-Pt research suffer from several issues, such as complicated sample preparation, preamplification, and expensive instruments, which dramatically limit their practical application. In this study, a novel method was presented to investigate the adducts of DNA and oxaliplatin using an α-hemolysin nanopore sensor. This approach allows for real-time monitoring of the DNA-oxaliplatin condensation process through the detection of nanopore events associated with DNA-oxaliplatin adducts. Specifically, type I and II signals exhibiting specific current characteristics were observed during the process. Typical signals with high frequency were obtained by recording the designed DNA sequence. Furthermore, the production of these signals was confirmed to be independent of homologous adducts. This finding suggests that the DNA-oxaliplatin adduct can serve as a potential sensor for detecting oxaliplatin lesions and multiple types of molecules.

Processing and Bypass of a Site-Specific DNA Adduct of the Cytotoxic Platinum-Acridinylthiourea Conjugate by Polymerases Involved in DNA Repair: Biochemical and Thermodynamic Aspects. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910838. [PMID: 34639179 PMCID: PMC8509567 DOI: 10.3390/ijms221910838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
DNA-dependent DNA and RNA polymerases are important modulators of biological functions such as replication, transcription, recombination, or repair. In this work performed in cell-free media, we studied the ability of selected DNA polymerases to overcome a monofunctional adduct of the cytotoxic/antitumor platinum–acridinylthiourea conjugate [PtCl(en)(L)](NO3)2 (en = ethane-1,2-diamine, L = 1-[2-(acridin-9-ylamino)ethyl]-1,3-dimethylthiourea) (ACR) in its favored 5′-CG sequence. We focused on how a single site-specific ACR adduct with intercalation potency affects the processivity and fidelity of DNA-dependent DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis (TLS) and repair. The ability of the G(N7) hybrid ACR adduct formed in the 5′-TCGT sequence of a 24-mer DNA template to inhibit the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand by the exonuclease-deficient Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I (KFexo−) and human polymerases eta, kappa, and iota was supplemented by thermodynamic analysis of the polymerization process. Thermodynamic parameters of a simulated translesion synthesis across the ACR adduct were obtained by using microscale thermophoresis (MST). Our results show a strong inhibitory effect of an ACR adduct on enzymatic TLS: there was only small synthesis of a full-length product (less than 10%) except polymerase eta (~20%). Polymerase eta was able to most efficiently bypass the ACR hybrid adduct. Incorporation of a correct dCMP opposite the modified G residue is preferred by all the four polymerases tested. On the other hand, the frequency of misinsertions increased. The relative efficiency of misinsertions is higher than that of matched cytidine monophosphate but still lower than for the nonmodified control duplex. Thermodynamic inspection of the simulated TLS revealed a significant stabilization of successively extended primer/template duplexes containing an ACR adduct. Moreover, no significant decrease of dissociation enthalpy change behind the position of the modification can contribute to the enzymatic TLS observed with the DNA-dependent, repair-involved polymerases. This TLS could lead to a higher tolerance of cancer cells to the ACR conjugate compared to its enhanced analog, where thiourea is replaced by an amidine group: [PtCl(en)(L)](NO3)2 (complex AMD, en = ethane-1,2-diamine, L = N-[2-(acridin-9-ylamino)ethyl]-N-methylpropionamidine).

Thermodynamic Insights by Microscale Thermophoresis into Translesion DNA Synthesis Catalyzed by DNA Polymerases Across a Lesion of Antitumor Platinum-Acridine Complex. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21207806.

Abstract
Translesion synthesis (TLS) through DNA adducts of antitumor platinum complexes has been an interesting aspect of DNA synthesis in cells treated with these metal-based drugs because of its correlation to drug sensitivity. We utilized model systems employing a DNA lesion derived from a site-specific monofunctional adduct formed by antitumor [PtCl(en)(L)](NO3)2 (complex AMD, en = ethane-1,2-diamine, L = N-[2-(acridin-9-ylamino)ethyl]-N-methylpropionamidine) at a unique G residue. The catalytic efficiency of TLS DNA polymerases, which differ in their processivity and fidelity for the insertion of correct dCTP, with respect to the other incorrect nucleotides, opposite the adduct of AMD, was investigated. For a deeper understanding of the factors that control the bypass of the site-specific adducts of AMD catalyzed by DNA polymerases, we also used microscale thermophoresis (MST) to measure the thermodynamic changes associated with TLS across a single, site-specific adduct formed in DNA by AMD. The relative catalytic efficiency of the investigated DNA polymerases for the insertion of correct dCTP, with respect to the other incorrect nucleotides, opposite the AMD adduct, was reduced. Nevertheless, incorporation of the correct C opposite the G modified by AMD of the template strand was promoted by an increasing thermodynamic stability of the resulting duplex. The reduced relative efficiency of the investigated DNA polymerases may be a consequence of the DNA intercalation of the acridine moiety of AMD and the size of the adduct. The products of the bypass of this monofunctional lesion produced by AMD and DNA polymerases also resulted from the misincorporation of dNTPs opposite the platinated G residues. The MST analysis suggested that thermodynamic factors may contribute to the forces that governed enhanced incorporation of the incorrect dNTPs by DNA polymerases.

Translesion DNA Synthesis Across Lesions Induced by Oxidative Products of Pyrimidines: An Insight into the Mechanism by Microscale Thermophoresis. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20205012.

Abstract
Oxidative stress in cells can lead to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and oxidation of DNA precursors. Oxidized nucleotides such as 2'-deoxyribo-5-hydroxyuridin (HdU) and 2'-deoxyribo-5-hydroxymethyluridin (HMdU) can be inserted into DNA during replication and repair. HdU and HMdU have attracted particular interest because they have different effects on damaged-DNA processing enzymes that control the downstream effects of the lesions. Herein, we studied the chemically simulated translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) across the lesions formed by HdU or HMdU using microscale thermophoresis (MST). The thermodynamic changes associated with replication across HdU or HMdU show that the HdU paired with the mismatched deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates disturbs DNA duplexes considerably less than thymidine (dT) or HMdU. Moreover, we also demonstrate that TLS by DNA polymerases across the lesion derived from HdU was markedly less extensive and potentially more mutagenic than that across the lesion formed by HMdU. Thus, DNA polymerization by DNA polymerase η (polη), the exonuclease-deficient Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I (KF-), and reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1 RT) across these pyrimidine lesions correlated with the different stabilization effects of the HdU and HMdU in DNA duplexes revealed by MST. The equilibrium thermodynamic data obtained by MST can explain the influence of the thermodynamic alterations on the ability of DNA polymerases to bypass lesions induced by oxidative products of pyrimidines. The results also highlighted the usefulness of MST in evaluating the impact of oxidative products of pyrimidines on the processing of these lesions by damaged DNA processing enzymes.

Abstract
Loss of a base in DNA and the creation of an abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic, AP) site is a frequent lesion that may occur spontaneously, or as a consequence of the action of DNA-damaging agents. The AP lesion is mutagenic or lethal if not repaired. We report a systematic thermodynamic investigation by differential scanning calorimetry on the evolution, during primer extension, of a model AP site in chemically simulated DNA translesion synthesis. Incorporation of dAMP (deoxyadenosine monophosphate), as well as dTMP (deoxythymidine monophosphate), opposite an AP site is enthalpically unfavorable, although incorporation of dTMP is more enthalpically unfavorable than that of dAMP. This finding is in a good agreement with experimental data showing that AP sites block various DNA polymerases of eukaryotic and prokaryotic origin and that, if bypassed, dAMP is preferentially inserted, whereas insertion of dTMP is less likely. The results emphasize the importance of thermodynamic contributions to the insertion of nucleotides opposite an AP site by DNA polymerases.

Abstract
Translesion synthesis (TLS) relies on a series of specialized DNA polymerases able to insert a base either correctly or incorrectly opposite a lesion on a DNA template strand during replication or post-repair synthesis. To measure the correct or mutagenic outcome of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) bypass by TLS DNA polymerases, a capillary electrophoresis (CE) method with fluorescent label has been developed. Two oligonucleotides were designed and hybridized: (i) a 72-mer oligonucleotide framing one 8-oxodG at position 40 and (ii) the 39-mer oligonucleotide complementary to the first strand from the 3' end to the lesion and labeled at the 5' end with a fluorochrome. After incubation with FHs 74 Int human intestinal epithelial cell nuclear proteins, in the presence of either deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) or deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP), and denaturation, the resulting elongated oligomers were analyzed by fluorescent capillary electrophoresis. This primer extension assay was then validated in terms of linearity (linear range=0.5-2.5 nM), detectability (limits of detection and quantification=0.023 and 0.091 nM, respectively), and precision (total precisions=8.1% and 3.7% for dATP and dCTP, respectively, n=9). The addition of some natural phytochemicals to the reaction mix significantly influences the outcome of TLS either in an error-free way or in a mutagenic way.

Abstract
A mechanism of the intrastrand 1,2-cross-link formation between the double-stranded pGpG·CpC dinucleotide (ds(pGpG)) and fully aquated oxaliplatin cis-[Pt(DACH)(H2O)2](2+) (DACH = cyclohexane-1R,2R-diamine) is presented. All structures of the reaction pathways including the transition states (TSs) were fully optimized in water solvent using DFT methodology with dispersion corrections. Both 5' → 3' and 3' → 5' binding directions were considered. In the first step there is a slight kinetic preference for 5'-guanine (5'G) monoadduct formation with an activation Gibbs free energy of 18.7 kcal/mol since the N7 center of the 5'G base is fully exposed to the solvent. On the other hand, the N7 atom of 3'-guanine (3'G) is sterically shielded by 5'G. The lowest energy path for formation of the 3'G monoadduct with an activation barrier of 19.3 kcal/mol is connected with a disruption of the 'DNA-like' structure of ds(pGpG). Monoadduct formation is the rate-determining process. The second step, chelate formation, is kinetically preferred in the 3' → 5' direction. The whole process of the platination is exergonic by up to -18.8 kcal/mol. Structural changes of ds(pGpG), charge transfer effects, and the influence of platination on the G·C base pair interaction strengths are also discussed in detail.

Abstract
To determine how the Y-family translesion DNA polymerase η (Polη) processes lesions remains fundamental to understanding the molecular origins of the mutagenic translesion bypass. We utilized model systems employing a DNA double-base lesion derived from 1,2-GG intrastrand cross-links of a new antitumor Pt(II) complex containing a bulky carrier ligand, namely [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-dach)] (DACH=diaminocyclohexane). The catalytic efficiency of Polη for the insertion of correct dCTP, with respect to the other incorrect nucleotides, opposite the 1,2-GG cross-link was markedly reduced by the DACH carrier ligand. This reduced efficiency of Polη to incorporate the correct dCTP could be due to a more extensive DNA unstacking and deformation of the minor groove induced in the DNA by the cross-link of bulky [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-dach)]. The major products of the bypass of this double-base lesion produced by [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-dach)] by Polη resulted from misincorporation of dATP opposite the platinated G residues. The results of the present work support the thesis that this misincorporation could be due to sterical effects of the bulkier 1,4-DACH ligand hindering the formation of the Polη-DNA-incoming nucleotide complex. Calorimetric analysis suggested that thermodynamic factors may contribute to the forces that governed enhanced incorporation of the incorrect dATP by Polη as well.
