Abstract
Cellular DNA is constantly challenged by various endogenous and exogenous genotoxic factors that inevitably lead to DNA damage: structural and chemical modifications of primary DNA sequence. These DNA lesions are either cytotoxic, because they block DNA replication and transcription, or mutagenic due to the miscoding nature of the DNA modifications, or both, and are believed to contribute to cell lethality and mutagenesis. Studies on DNA repair in Escherichia coli spearheaded formulation of principal strategies to counteract DNA damage and mutagenesis, such as: direct lesion reversal, DNA excision repair, mismatch and recombinational repair and genotoxic stress signalling pathways. These DNA repair pathways are universal among cellular organisms. Mechanistic principles used for each repair strategies are fundamentally different. Direct lesion reversal removes DNA damage without need for excision and de novo DNA synthesis, whereas DNA excision repair that includes pathways such as base excision, nucleotide excision, alternative excision and mismatch repair, proceeds through phosphodiester bond breakage, de novo DNA synthesis and ligation. Cell signalling systems, such as adaptive and oxidative stress responses, although not DNA repair pathways per se, are nevertheless essential to counteract DNA damage and mutagenesis. The present review focuses on the nature of DNA damage, direct lesion reversal, DNA excision repair pathways and adaptive and oxidative stress responses in E. coli.

Abstract
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) utilizes RNA oligomers to prime DNA synthesis. The initiation of reverse transcription requires specific interactions between HIV-1 RNA, primer tRNA3Lys, and RT. We have previously shown that extension of an oligodeoxyribonucleotide, a situation that mimicks elongation, is unspecific and differs from initiation by the polymerization rate and dissociation rate of RT from the primer-template complex. Here, we used replication intermediates to analyze the transition from the initiation to the elongation phases. We found that the 2'-hydroxyl group at the 3' end of tRNA had limited effects on the polymerization and dissociation rate constants. Instead, the polymerization rate increased 3400-fold between addition of the sixth and seventh nucleotide to tRNA3Lys. The same increase in the polymerization rate was observed when an oligoribonucleotide, but not an oligodeoxyribonucleotide, was used as a primer. In parallel, the dissociation rate of RT from the primer-template complex decreased 30-fold between addition of the 17th and 19th nucleotide to tRNA3Lys. The polymerization and dissociation rates are most likely governed by interactions of the primer strand with helix alphaH in the p66 thumb subdomain and the RNase H domain of RT, respectively.

Abstract
Many genotoxic agents form base lesions that inhibit DNA polymerases. To study the mechanism underlying termination of DNA synthesis on defective templates, we tested the capacity of a model enzyme (Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I) to catalyze primer elongation across a series of C4' deoxyribose derivatives. A site with inverted C4' configuration or two different C4' deoxyribose adducts were introduced into the backbone of synthetic templates without modifying the chemistry of the corresponding bases. Inverted deoxyribose moieties may arise in cellular DNA as a product of C4' radical attack. We found that DNA synthesis by the Klenow polymerase was arrested transiently at the C4' inversion and was essentially blocked at C4' deoxyribose adducts. Major termination sites were located one position downstream of a C4' selenophenyl adduct and immediately 3' to or opposite a C4' pivaloyl adduct. Primer extension studies in the presence of single deoxyribonucleotides showed intact base pairing fidelity opposite all three C4' variants regardless of whether the Klenow fragment or its proofreading-deficient mutant was tested. These results imply that the coding ability of template bases is maintained at altered C4' deoxyribose moieties. However, their capacity to impede DNA polymerase progression indicates that backbone distortion and steric hindrance are important determinants of DNA synthesis arrest on damaged templates. The strong inhibition by C4' adducts suggests a potential target for new chemotherapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The nucleotide photoprobe 2-[(4-azidophenacyl)thio]-2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate (1) was evaluated as a photoaffinity label of the DNA polymerase I Klenow fragment. Photolabel [3H]-1 covalently labeled the Klenow fragment with photolysis at 300 nm, reaching saturation at an approximate 1:1 mole ratio at 5.7 microM and with an EC50 (the effective concentration at 50% maximum photoincorporation) of about 0.74 microM. Saturating concentrations of poly(dA).(T)10 protect the Klenow fragment from [3H]-1 photoincorporation, and TTP at a concentration approximately equal to its KD for the free enzyme form shifts the dose-response curve for photoincorporation of [3H]-1 into the Klenow fragment by a factor of 2, indicating a competitive relationship between TTP and 1. Additionally, the photoincorporation of [3H]-1 into the Klenow fragment has an absolute requirement for magnesium, with no significant photoincorporation observed at concentrations of 1 up to 10 microM in the absence of magnesium. These results demonstrate that, as designed, photoprobe 1 binds to both the dNTP and a portion of the template-primer binding sites on the Klenow fragment. Photoaffinity labeling of the Klenow fragment by 1 yielded a single radiolabeled tryptic fragment which was isolated by HPLC; sequence analysis identified Asp732 in the peptide fragment Asp732-Ile733-His734-Arg735 as the site of covalent modification. Molecular modeling and complementary NMR analysis of the conformation of 1 indicated preferred C3'-exo and C2'-exo-C3'-endo symmetrical twist furanose ring puckers, with a high antibase conformation and a +sc C-5 torsional angle. Docking studies using Asp732 as an anchor point for the azide alpha-nitrogen on the photolabel indicate that the dNTP binding site is at the edge of the DNA binding cleft opposite the exonuclease site and that the template binding site includes helix O in the finger motif of the Klenow fragment.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which DNA polymerases achieve their remarkable fidelity, including base selection and proofreading, are briefly reviewed. Nine proofreading models from the current literature are evaluated in the light of steady-state and transient kinetic studies of E. coli DNA polymerase I, the best-studied DNA polymerase. One model is demonstrated to predict quantitatively the response of DNA polymerase I to three mutagenic probes of proofreading: exogenous pyrophosphate, deoxynucleoside monophosphates, and the next correct deoxynucleoside triphosphate substrate, as well as the response to combinations of these probes. The theoretical analysis allows elimination of many possible proofreading mechanisms based on the kinetic data. A structural hypothesis links the kinetic analysis with crystallographic, NMR and genetic studies. It would appear that DNA polymerase I proofreads each potential error twice, at the same time undergoing two conformational changes within a catalytic cycle. Multi-stage proofreading is more efficient, and may be utilized in other biological systems as well. In fact, recent evidence suggests that fidelity of transfer RNA charging may be ensured by a similar mechanism.

Abstract
The minimal kinetic scheme for DNA polymerization catalyzed by the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I (KF) from Escherichia coli has been determined with short DNA oligomers of defined sequence. A key feature of this scheme is a minimal two-step sequence that interconverts the ternary KF.DNAn.dNTP and KF.DNAn+1.PPi complexes. The rate is not limited by the actual polymerization but by a separate step, possibly important in ensuring fidelity [Mizrahi, V., Henrie, R. N., Marlier, J. F., Johnson, K. A., & Benkovic, S. J. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 4010-4018]. Evidence for this sequence is supplied by the observation of biphasic kinetics in single-turnover pyrophosphorolysis experiments (the microscopic reverse of polymerization). Data analysis then provides an estimate of the internal equilibrium constant. The dissociations of DNA, dNTP, and PPi from the various binary and ternary complexes were measured by partitioning (isotope-trapping) experiments. The rate constant for DNA dissociation from KF is sequence dependent and is rate limiting during nonprocessive DNA synthesis. The combination of single-turnover (both directions) and isotope-trapping experiments provides sufficient information to permit a quantitative evaluation of the kinetic scheme for specific DNA sequences.

Abstract
Three different methods have been used to determine the rate at which an individual bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase molecule moves when synthesizing DNA on a single-stranded DNA template chain. These methods agree in suggesting an in vitro rate for this enzyme of about 250 nucleotides per second at 37 degrees C. This rate is close to the rate at which bacteriophage T4 replication forks move in vivo (about 500 nucleotides per second). Comparison with the overall amount of DNA synthesis seen in in vitro reactions reveals that only a small fraction of the T4 DNA polymerase molecules present are synthesizing DNA at any one time. This is explicable in terms of the limited processivity of the enzyme in these reactions, along with its capacity for non-productive DNA binding to the DNA template molecules.

Abstract
The influence of polyamines on the various activities of DNA polymerase I from Escherichia coli (EC 2.7.7.7) has been investigated. For all high molecular weight DNAs spermine and spermidine caused up to 80% inhibition when present in high concentrations, i.e. above 1 mM for spermine and 2 mM for spermidine. In the presence of low concentrations of polyamines a small activation was seen for some DNAs. The diamines cadaverine and putrescine had little influence on the rate of synthesis with natural occurring DNAs. In the case of d(A--T)n the activation/inhibition was found to be markedly dependent on the molecular weight of the samples used. With a low molecular weight DNA, 5.6 S, addition of spermidine resulted in up to 3-fold stimulation of activity. The activation was dependent on the concentration of MgCl2 and ionic strength; increasing concentration of these gave a decrease in the degree of activation. Polyamines also had a dramatic effect on the rate of synthesis using the homopolymers (dA)n . (dT)10 and (rA)n . (dT)10 . (20:1) as primers. Putrescine, in particular, increased the activity up to 10-fold with (rA)n . (dT)10 and somewhat less for (dA)n . (dT)10. The apparent Km for the primer (rA)n . (dT)10 decreased approx. 35-fold in the presence of 6.6 mM putrescine. There was no influence on the apparent Km for dTTP. The influence of polyamines on both the 5' leads to 3' and 3' leads to 5' nuclease activity was also investigated. Inhibition of nuclease activity was observed in the presence of polyamines, particularly with spermine. Thus with d(A--T)n and T7 DNA as substrates addition of 0.7 mM spermine resulted in almost complete inhibition of the activity. The dramatic inhibition observed with high concentrations of spermine (spermidine) both in the case of polymerizing and nuclease activity is thought to be due to polyamine-induced aggregation of DNA molecules.

Abstract
The influence of caffeine on the activity of DNA polymerase I from E. coli was investigated. Caffeine had no effect on the polymerizing activity but did inhibit both 5' leads to 3' and 3' leads to 5' nuclease activities. The highest inhibition was observed with d(A--T)n as substrate: at a concentration of caffeine of 10 mM, inhibition was about 50%. In studies in vivo with 3 isogenic strains of E. coli, carrying different mutations in the DNA polymerase I gene, the effect of caffeine on survival after ultraviolet irradiation was most marked for the wild-type, pol+, followed by those mutants defective in 3' leads to 5', polA1, and 5' leads to 3' nuclease activities, polA107. Caffeine had little influence on survival of the resA1 mutant which lacks both 5' leads to 3' and 3' leads to 5' nuclease activities. These results support the idea that the influence of caffeine on dark repair may be explained in part by its effect on the nuclease activities of DNA polymerase I.
