Abstract
DNA is damaged through various exogenous sources (e.g., automobile exhaust, tobacco smoke, and processed foods), which can yield diverse C8-dG bulky aryl adducts. Adducts are known to induce structural changes to DNA that can lead to various biological outcomes, ranging from cell death to diseases such as cancer. Unfortunately, the relationship between the chemical composition of the damaged product, the adducted DNA structure, and the biological consequences is not well understood, which limits the development of disease detection and prevention strategies. The present study uses density functional theory (DFT) calculations and quintuplicate 1 μs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the structure of DNA containing 21 model C8-dG adducts that systematically differ in size (phenyl to pyrenyl), shape (α (2,3), β (3,4) fusion, or ring substitution), and nucleobase-aryl group linkage (N, O, and C-linked). DFT calculations reveal that the inherent structural features of the G nucleobase adducts are impacted by linker type and bulky moiety shape, but not size, with the conformational flexibility reducing with α-ring fusion and linker composition as N > O > C. These structural properties are maintained in nucleoside models, which also reveal an increased propensity for anti-to-syn rotation about the glycosidic bond with N < O < C linker type. Although these diverse chemical features do not influence the global structure of adducted DNA, the adducts differentially impact the conformation local to the adducted site, including the relative populations of structures with the bulky moiety in the major groove (B conformer) and intercalated (stacked) into the helix (S conformer). Specifically, while the smallest phenyl adducts favor the B conformation and the largest pyrenyl-derived adducts stabilize the S conformation, the B/S ratio decreases with an increase in ring size and N > O > C linker composition. The shape and size (length) of the adduct can further finetune the B/S ratio, with β-fused naphthyl or α-fused phenanthryl N-linked adducts and O or C-linked adducts containing ring substitution increasing the prevalence of the S adducted DNA conformation. Overall, this work uncovers the significant effect of bulky moiety size and linker type, as well as the lesser impact of aryl group shape, on adducted DNA structure, which suggests differential replication and repair outcomes, and thereby represents an important step toward rationalizing connections between the structure and biological consequences of diverse DNA adducts.

Abstract
Exposure of humans to carcinogenic aromatic amines (AAs) occurs daily. AAs are bioactivated in cells into products that attack DNA, primarily leading to N-linked C8-dG adducts. Previous work on DNA containing a single AA-derived adduct (monoadducted DNA) has shown a structure-function relationship between the damaged DNA conformation and cellular outcomes. However, relatively little is known about the conformation and biological outcomes of DNA containing two bulky adducts (diadducted DNA) in close proximity. To fill this current void in the literature, the present work uses quintuplet 0.5 μs MD simulations to understand the structural impact of DNA exposure to the potent bladder carcinogen 4-aminobiphenyl (ABP), which is found in cigarette smoke and select dyes, and results in the widely studied N-linked ABPdG adduct. Specifically, 18 unique DNA duplexes were investigated that contain one or two ABPdG adducts in the anti and/or syn glycosidic orientation(s) in all combinations of three G positions in the NarI mutation hotspot for AAs (5'-G1G2CG3CC). Monoadducted DNA displays sequence-dependent conformational heterogeneity, with the G1 site having the greatest anti preference, and highlights the range of helical structures associated with the syn lesion orientation [i.e., stacked (S), intercalated (I), and wedge (W) conformations]. Diadducted DNA results in interesting lesion separation effects on the conformational heterogeneity, including a greater anti preference for neighboring adducts (G1G2) and a greater syn preference for next-nearest neighbor damaged sites (G2G3) compared to monoadducted DNA. As a result, an increase in the number of ABPdG adducts changes the conformational heterogeneity of ABP-exposed DNA depending on the relative positions of the lesions and thereby could result in increased or decreased toxicity upon human exposure to elevated levels of ABP.

Abstract
Mutagenic agents such as aromatic amines undergo metabolic activation and produce DNA adducts at C8 position of guanine bases. N-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) generates different mutational outcomes when placed at G1, G2, and G3 of a NarI sequence (-G1G2CG3CC/T-). These outcomes are dictated by the conformations adopted by these adducts. Detection of such lesions is of considerable interest owing to their hazardous effects. Here, we report the synthesis of three cyclometalated [Ir(L)2dppz]+ complexes (L = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) 1; benzo[h]quinoline (bhq) 2; 2-phenylquinoline (pq) 3; dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) and their interaction with AAF adducted NarI DNA. Remarkably, complexes 1 and 2 displayed dominant 3LC transition characteristic of polar environment despite binding to the adducted sites. On the other hand, complex 3 binds to NarI sequences and behaves as a luminescent reporter for AAF-modified DNA. The results reported here emphasize that molecular light switching phenomenon can be stimulated by switching ancillary ligands and might act as potential probes for covalent-DNA defects.

Abstract
Studies on the binding interaction of small molecules and nucleic acids have been explored for their biological applications. With excellent photophysical/chemical properties, numerous metal complexes have been studied as structural probes for nucleic acids. The recognition of DNA defects is of high importance due to their association with various types of cancers. Small molecules that target DNA defects in a specific and selective manner offer a new avenue for developing novel drugs and diagnostic tools. Transition metal complexes have been studied as probes for abasic sites and DNA/RNA mismatches. By changing the ligand structure or metal center, the probing efficiency of the metal complexes varies towards the defects. In this perspective, we have discussed mainly the structural requirement of metal complexes as probes for abasic sites, mismatches, and covalent DNA adducts, followed by the challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Arylamines are known to form covalent-DNA adducts upon metabolic activation. These covalent adducts adopt different conformational attributes, viz., major groove (B), stacked (S), and minor groove (W), and lead to different types of mutations. The conformation depends on the flanking and next flanking bases at the 3' position of the adduct. Early detection of these conformations by simple probes is an ideal and challenging task. Here, we have reported two Ir(III)-based cyclometalated complexes, viz., [Ir(ppy)2(imiphen)]+ (1) (ppy: 2-phenylpyridine; imiphen: 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) and [Ir(ppy)2(furphen)]+ (2) (furphen: 2-(furan-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) and its interaction with N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene-dG (AAF-dG). The sequences used in this work are NarI sequence (-CG1G2CG3CX-) in which Gs are modified with AAF and X is either C or T. Luminescence studies reveal that the Ir(III) complexes bind to AAF-dG adduct with high specificity toward G1 and G3 compared to G2 and unmodified control. The selectivity also depends on the next flanking base as cytosine favors G3AAF, while thymine favors G1AAF in complex 1 and vice versa for complex 2. The quenching studies confirm that Ir(III) complexes bind with AAF-dG sequences through the minor groove. The outcome of this work reveals that the switch-on effect by the complexes can be utilized for determining the conformational heterogeneity of the adduct and also for similar covalent-DNA adducts.

Abstract
4-Aminobiphenyl (ABP) and its structure analog 2-aminofluorene (AF) are well-known carcinogens. In the present work, an unusual sequence effect in the 5′-CTTCTG1G2TCCTCATTC-3′ DNA duplex is reported for ABP- and AF-modified G. Specifically, the ABP modification at G1 resulted in a mixture of 67% major groove B-type (B) and 33% stacked (S) conformers, while at the ABP modification at G2 exclusively resulted in the B-conformer. The AF modification at G1 and G2 lead to 25%:75% and 83%:17% B:S population ratios, respectively. These differences in preferred conformation are due to an interplay between stabilizing (hydrogen bonding and stacking that is enhanced by lesion planarity) and destabilizing (solvent exposure) forces at the lesion site. Furthermore, while the B-conformer is a thermodynamic stabilizer and the S-conformer is a destabilizer in duplex settings, the situation is reversed at the single strands/double strands (ss/ds) junction. Specifically, the twisted biphenyl is a better stacker at the ss/ds junction than the coplanar AF. Therefore, the ABP modification leads to a stronger strand binding affinity of the ss/ds junction than the AF modification. Overall, the current work provides conformational insights into the role of sequence and lesion effects in modulating DNA replication.

Abstract
Bulky organic carcinogens are activated in vivo and subsequently react with nucleobases of cellular DNA to produce adducts. Some of these DNA adducts exist in multiple conformations that are slowly interconverted to one another. Different conformations have been implicated in different mutagenic and repair outcomes. However, studies on the conformation-specific inhibition of replication, which is more relevant to cell survival, are scarce, presumably due to the structural dynamics of DNA lesions at the replication fork. It is difficult to capture the exact nature of replication inhibition by existing end-point assays, which usually detect either the ensemble of consequences of all the conformers or the culmination of all cellular behaviors, such as mutagenicity or survival rate. We previously reported very unusual sequence-dependent conformational heterogeneities involving FABP-modified DNA under different sequence contexts (TG1*G2T [67%B:33%S] and TG1G2*T [100%B], G*, N-(2′-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-4′-fluoro-4-aminobiphenyl) (Cai et al. Nucleic Acids Research, 46, 6356–6370 (2018)). In the present study, we attempted to correlate the in vitro inhibition of polymerase activity to different conformations from a single FABP-modified DNA lesion. We utilized a combination of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and HPLC-based steady-state kinetics to reveal the differences in terms of binding affinity and inhibition with polymerase between these two conformers (67%B:33%S and 100%B).

Abstract
Aromatic chemicals can undergo metabolic activation to afford electrophilic species that react at the C8-site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) to generate bulky C8-dG adducts as a basis of initiating carcinogenesis. These DNA lesions have served as models to understand the mechanism of frameshift mutagenesis, especially within CG-dinucleotide repeat sequences, such as NarI (5'-GGCXCC-3', where X = C8-dG adduct), however there is still limited capacity to predict the likelihood of mutation arising within particular contexts, and hence chemistry-based strategies are needed for probing relationships between nucleic acid sequence and structure with replication errors. In the NarI sequence, certain C8-dG adducts may trigger in the course of DNA synthesis the formation of a slipped mutagenic intermediate (SMI) that contains a two nucleotide (XC) bulge in the template strand that can form upstream of the polymerase active site. This distortion facilitates polymerization but affords a GC dinucleotide deletion product (-2 frameshift mutation). In the current study, incorporating the fluorescent C-linked 4-fluorobiphenyl-dG (FBP-dG) adduct into two 22-mer templates containing CG-dinucleotide repeats ( NarI: 3'-CXCGGC-5' and CG3: 3'-CXCGCG-5', X = FBP-dG) and performing primer extension reactions using DNA polymerase I, Klenow fragment exo- (Kf-) revealed a dramatic sequence-based difference in polymerase bypass efficiency. Primer extension past FBP-dG within the NarI sequence was strongly blocked, whereas Kf- extended the primer past FBP-dG within a CG3 template to afford a full-length product and the GC dinucleotide deletion. To model the nucleotide insertion steps in the fully paired (FP) versus the slipped mutagenic (SM) translesion pathways, adducted template:primer duplexes were constructed and characterized by UV thermal denaturation and fluorescence spectroscopy. The emission intensity of the FBP-dG lesion exhibits sensitivity to SMI formation (turn-on) versus a FP duplex (turn-off), permitting insight into adduct base-pairing within the template:primer duplexes. This fluorescence sensitivity provides a rationale for sequence impact on -2 frameshift mutations mediated by the C-linked FBP-dG lesion.

Abstract
Exposure to ochratoxin A (OTA), a possible human carcinogen, leads to many different DNA mutations. As a first step toward understanding the structural basis of OTA-induced mutagenicity, the present work uses a robust computational approach and a slipped mutagenic intermediate model previously studied for C8-dG aromatic amine adducts to analyze the conformational features of postreplication two-base deletion DNA duplexes containing OT-dG, the major OTA lesion at the C8 position of guanine. Specifically, a total of 960 ns of molecular dynamics simulations (excluding trial simulations) were carried out on four OT-dG ionization states in three sequence contexts within oligomers containing the NarI recognition sequence, a known hotspot for deletion mutations induced by related adducts formed from known carcinogens. Our results indicate that the structural properties and relative stability of the competing "major groove" and "stacked" conformations of OTA adducted two-base deletion duplexes depend on both the OTA ionization state and the sequence context, mainly due to conformation-dependent deviations in discrete local (hydrogen-bonding and stacking) interactions at the lesion site, as well as DNA bending. When the structural characteristics of the OT-dG adducted two-base deletion duplexes are compared to those associated with previously studied C8-dG adducts, a greater understanding of the effects of the nucleobase-carcinogen linkage, and size of the carcinogenic moiety on the conformational preferences of damaged DNA is obtained. Most importantly, our work predicts key structural features for OT-dG-adducted deletion DNA duplexes, which in turn allow us to develop hypotheses regarding OT-dG replication outcomes. Thus, our computational results are valuable for the design and interpretation of future biochemical studies on the potentially carcinogenic OT-dG lesion.
