Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a universal and versatile DNA repair pathway, capable of removing a very wide range of lesions, including UV-induced pyrimidine dimers and bulky adducts. In bacteria, NER involves the sequential action of the UvrA, UvrB and UvrC proteins to release a short 12- or 13-nucleotide DNA fragment containing the damaged site. Although bacterial NER has been the focus of numerous studies over the past 40 years, a number of key questions remain unanswered regarding the mechanisms underlying DNA damage recognition by UvrA, the handoff to UvrB and the site-specific incision by UvrC. In the present study, we have successfully reconstituted in vitro a robust NER system using the UvrABC proteins from the radiation resistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans. We have investigated the influence of various parameters, including temperature, salt, protein and ATP concentrations, protein purity and metal cations, on the dual incision by UvrABC, so as to find the optimal conditions for the efficient release of the short lesion-containing oligonucleotide. This newly developed assay relying on the use of an original, doubly-labelled DNA substrate has allowed us to probe the kinetics of repair on different DNA substrates and to determine the order and precise sites of incisions on the 5′ and 3′ sides of the lesion. This new assay thus constitutes a valuable tool to further decipher the NER pathway in bacteria. Reconstitution of D radiodurans nucleotide excision repair provides insights into the kinetics of repair on different DNA substrates and determines the order and precise sites of incisions on the 5’ and 3’ sides of the lesion.

Abstract
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) forms DNA adducts that interfere with replication and transcription. The most common adducts formed in vivo are 1,2-intrastrand d(GpG) cross-links (Pt-GG) and d(ApG) cross-links (Pt-AG), with minor amounts of 1,3-d(GpNpG) cross-links (Pt-GNG), interstrand cross-links and monoadducts. Although the relative contribution of these different adducts to toxicity is not known, literature implicates that Pt-GG and Pt-AG adducts block replication. Thus, nucleotide excision repair (NER), by which platinum adducts are excised, and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), which permits adduct bypass, are thought to be associated with cisplatin resistance. Recent studies have reported that the clinical benefit from platinum-based chemotherapy is high if tumor cells express low levels of NER factors. To investigate the role of platinum-DNA adducts in mediating tumor cell survival by TLS, we examined whether 1,3-intrastrand d(GpTpG) platinum cross-links (Pt-GTG), which probably exist in NER-negative tumor cells but not in NER-positive tumor cells, are bypassed by the translesion DNA polymerase eta (pol eta), which is known to bypass Pt-GG. We show that pol eta can incorporate the correct deoxycytidine triphosphate opposite the first 3'-cross-linked G of Pt-GTG but cannot insert any nucleotides opposite the second intact T or the third 5'-cross-linked G of the adducts, thereby suggesting that TLS does not facilitate replication past Pt-GTG adducts. Thus, our findings implicate Pt-GNG adducts as mediating the cytotoxicity of platinum-DNA adducts in NER-negative tumors in vivo.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair in Escherichia coli involves formation of the UvrB-DNA complex and subsequent DNA incisions on either site of the damage by UvrC. In this paper, we studied the incision of substrates with different damages in varying sequence contexts. We show that there is not always a correlation between the incision efficiency and the stability of the UvrB-DNA complex. Both stable and unstable UvrB-DNA complexes can be efficiently incised. However some lesions that give rise to stable UvrB-DNA complexes do result in a very low incision. We present evidence that this poor incision is due to sterical hindrance of the damage itself. In its C-terminal region UvrC contains two helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) motifs. Mutational analysis shows that these motifs constitute one functional unit, probably folded as one structural unit; the (HhH)2 domain. This (HhH)2 domain was previously shown to be important for the 5' incision on a substrate containing a (cis-Pt).GG adduct, but not for 3' incision. Here we show that, mainly depending on the sequence context of the lesion, the (HhH)2 domain can be important for 3' and/or 5' incision. We propose that the (HhH)2 domain stabilises specific DNA structures required for the two incisions, thereby contributing to the flexibility of the UvrABC repair system.

Abstract
The use of cisplatin in cancer chemotherapy is limited by acquired or intrinsic resistance of cells to the drug. Cisplatin enters the cells and its chloride ligands are replaced by water, forming aquated species that react with nucleophilic sites in cellular macromolecules. The presence of the cisplatin adducts in DNA is thought to trigger cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Knowledge of the mechanism of action of cisplatin has improved our understanding of resistance. Decreased intracellular concentration due to decreased drug uptake, increased reflux or increased inactivation by sulfhydryl molecules such as glutathione can cause resistance to cisplatin. Increased excision of the adducts from DNA by repair pathways or increased lesion bypass can also result in resistance. Finally, altered expression of regulatory proteins involved in signal transduction pathways that control the apoptotic pathway can also affect sensitivity to the drug. An improved understanding of the mechanisms of resistance operative in vivo has identified targets for intervention and may increase the utility of cisplatin for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
UvrA and UvrB proteins play key roles in the damage recognition step in the nucleotide excision repair. However, the molecular mechanism of damage recognition by these proteins is still not well understood. In this work we analyzed the interaction between single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) labeled with a fluorophore tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) and Thermus thermophilus HB8 UvrA (ttUvrA) and UvrB (ttUvrB) proteins. TMR-labeled ssDNA (TMR-ssDNA) as well as UV-irradiated ssDNA stimulated ATPase activity of ttUvrB more strongly than did normal ssDNA, indicating that this fluorescent ssDNA was recognized as damaged ssDNA. The addition of ttUvrA or ttUvrB enhanced the fluorescence intensity of TMR-ssDNA, and the intensity was much greater in the presence of ATP. Fluorescence titration indicated that ttUvrA has higher specificity for TMR-ssDNA than for normal ssDNA in the absence of ATP. The ttUvrB showed no specificity for TMR-ssDNA, but it took over 200 min for the fluorescence intensity of the ttUvrB-TMR-ssDNA complex to reach saturation in the presence of ATP. This time-dependent change could be separated into two phases. The first phase was rapid, whereas the second phase was slow and dependent on ATP hydrolysis. Time dependence of ATPase activity and fluorescence polarization suggested that changes other than the binding reaction occurred during the second phase. These results strongly suggest that ttUvrB binds ssDNA quickly and that a conformational change in ttUrvB-ssDNA complex occurs slowly. We also found that DNA containing a fluorophore as a lesion is useful for directly investigating the damage recognition by UvrA and UvrB.

Abstract
A combination of hydrodynamic and cross-linking studies were used to investigate self-assembly of the Escherichia coli DNA repair protein UvrB. Though the procession of steps leading to incision of DNA at sites flanking damage requires that UvrB engage in an ordered series of complexes, successively with UvrA, DNA, and UvrC, the potential for self-association had not yet been reported. Gel permeation chromatography, nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and chemical cross-linking results combine to show that UvrB stably assembles as a dimer in solution at concentrations in the low micromolar range. Smaller populations of higher order oligomeric species are also observed. Unlike the dimerization of UvrA, an initial step promoted by ATP binding, the monomer-dimer equilibrium for UvrB is unaffected by the presence of ATP. The insensitivity of cross-linking efficiency to a 10-fold variation in salt concentration further suggests that UvrB self-assembly is driven largely by hydrophobic interactions. Self-assembly is significantly weakened by proteolytic removal of the carboxyl terminus of the protein (generating UvrB*), a domain also known to be required for the interaction with UvrC leading to the initial incision of damaged DNA. This suggests that the C terminus may be a multifunctional binding domain, with specificity regulated by protein conformation.

Abstract
The Escherichia coli DNA repair proteins UvrA, UvrB and UvrC work together to recognize and incise DNA damage during the process of nucleotide excision repair (NER). To gain an understanding of the damage recognition properties of UvrA, we have used fluorescence spectroscopy to study the thermodynamics of its interaction with a defined DNA substrate containing a benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE) adduct. Oligonucleotides containing a single site-specifically modified N2-guanine (+)-trans-, (-)-trans-, (+)-cis-, or (-)-cis-BPDE adducts were ligated into 50-base-pair DNA fragments. All four stereoisomers of DNA-BPDE adducts show an excitation maximum at 350 nm and an emission maximum around 380 to 385 nm. Binding of UvrA to the BPDE-DNA adducts results in a five to sevenfold fluorescence enhancement. Titration of the BPDE-adducted DNA with UvrA was used to generate binding isotherms. The equilibrium dissociation constants for UvrA binding to (+)-trans-, (-)-trans-, (+)-cis-, and (-)-cis- BPDE adduct were: 7.4+/-1.9, 15. 8+/-5.4, 11.3+/-2.7 and 22.4+/-2.0 nM, respectively. There was a large negative change in heat capacity DeltaCpo,obs, (-3.3 kcal mol-1 K-1) accompanied by a relatively unchanged DeltaGoobs with temperature. Furthermore, varying the concentration of KCl showed that the number of ions released upon formation of UvrA-DNA complex is about 3.4, a relatively small value compared to the contact size of UvrA with the substrate. These data suggest that hydrophobic interactions are an important driving force for UvrA binding to BPDE-damaged DNA.

Abstract
The incisions in the DNA at the 3'- and 5'-side of a DNA damage during nucleotide excision repair in Escherichia coli occur in a complex consisting of damaged DNA, UvrB and UvrC. The exact requirements for the two incision events, however, are different. It has previously been shown that the 3'-incision requires the interaction between the C-terminal domain of UvrB and a homologous region in UvrC. This interaction, however, is dispensable for the 5'-incision. Here we show that the C-terminal domain of the UvrC protein is essential for the 5'-incision, whereas this domain can be deleted without affecting the 3'-incision. The C-terminal domain of UvrC is homologous with the C-terminal part of the ERCC1 protein which, in a complex with XPF, is responsible for the 5'-incision reaction in human nucleotide excision repair. Both in the UvrC and the ERCC1 domain a Helix-hairpin-Helix (HhH) motif can be indicated, albeit at different positions. Such a motif also has been found in a large variety of DNA binding proteins and it has been suggested to form a structure involved in non-sequence-specific DNA binding. In contrast to the full length UvrC protein, a truncated UvrC protein (UvrC554) lacking the entire ERCC1 homology including the HhH motif no longer binds to ssDNA. Analysis of protein-DNA complexes using bandshift experiments showed that this putative DNA binding domain of UvrC is required for stabilisation of the UvrBC-DNA complex after the 3'-incision has taken place. We propose that after the initial 3'-incision the HhH motif recognises a specific DNA structure, thereby positioning the catalytic site for the subsequent 5'-incision reaction.

Abstract
Specific cutting of undamaged DNA by UvrABC nuclease is observed. It occurs seven nucleotides (nt) from the 3' terminus of oligonucleotides annealed to single-stranded M13 DNA circles. Although the location of the UvrABC cut on undamaged DNA is similar to that of the cut on the 5' side of a damaged DNA site during the dual incision reaction, the cut of undamaged DNA is not an intermediate in the dual incision step. On DNA duplexes with a single AAF adduct, the anticipated cut at the eighth phosphodiester bond 5' of the lesion is present, but extra cuts at 7-nt increments are observed at the 15th and 22nd phosphodiester bonds. We suggest that these additional cuts are made by the UvrABC activity observed on undamaged DNA; such activity is referred to as ABC 3' exonuclease and may play a significant role by providing a suitable gap for RecA-mediated recombinational exchanges during repair of interstrand crosslinks and closely opposed lesions. This ABC 3' exonuclease activity depends on higher concentrations of Uvr proteins as compared with dual incision and may be relevant to reactions that occur when UvrA and UvrB are increased during SOS induction.

Abstract
In order to understand the action of the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin, it is necessary to determine why some types of cisplatin-DNA intrastrand crosslinks are repaired better than others. Using cell extracts and circular duplex DNA, we compared nucleotide excision repair of uniquely placed 1,2-GG, 1,2-AG, and 1,3-GTG cisplatin-crosslinks, and a 2-acetylaminofluorene lesion. The 1,3 crosslink and the acetylaminofluorene lesion were repaired by normal cell extracts approximately 15-20 fold better than the 1,2 crosslinks. No evidence was found for selective shielding of 1,2 cisplatin crosslinks from repair by cellular proteins. Fractionation of cell extracts to remove putative shielding proteins did not improve repair of the 1,2-GG crosslink, and cell extracts did not selectively inhibit access of UvrABC incision nuclease to 1,2-GG crosslinks. The poorer repair of 1,2 crosslinks in comparison to the 1,3 crosslink is more likely a consequence of different structural alterations of the DNA helix. In support of this, a 1,2-GG-cisplatin crosslink was much better repaired when it was opposite one or two non-complementary thymines. Extracts from cells defective in the hMutSalpha mismatch binding activity also showed preferential repair of the 1,3 crosslink over the 1,2 crosslink, and increased repair of the 1,2 adduct when opposite thymines, showing that hMutSalphais not involved in the differential NER of these substrates in vitro. Mismatched cisplatin adducts could arise by translesion DNA synthesis, and improved repair of such adducts could promote cisplatin-induced mutagenesis in some cases.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair by mammalian enzymes removes DNA damage as part of approximately 30-mer oligonucleotides by incising phosphodiester bonds on either side of a lesion. We analyzed this dual incision reaction at a single 1,3-intrastrand d(GpTpG)-cisplatin cross-link in a closed circular duplex DNA substrate. Incisions were formed in the DNA with human cell extracts in which DNA repair synthesis was inhibited. The nicks were mapped by restriction fragment end labeling and primer extension analysis. Principal sites of cleavage were identified at the 9th phosphodiester bond 3' to the lesion and at the 16th phosphodiester bond 5' to the lesion. The predominant product was found to be a 26-mer platinated oligonucleotide by hybridization to a 32P-labeled complementary DNA probe. Oligonucleotides were formed at the same rate as the 3' cleavage, suggesting that both incisions are made in a near-synchronous manner. There was, however, a low frequency of 5' incisions in the absence of 3' cleavage. The dual incision reaction was reconstituted using the purified mammalian proteins XPA, RPA, XPC, TFIIH, XPG, and a fraction containing ERCC1-XPF and IF7. All of these components were required in order to observe any cleavage.

Abstract
The toxic effect and the mutagenicity of two differentially repaired site-specific cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) lesions were investigated. Detailed analysis of the UvrABC-dependent repair of the two lesions in vitro showed a more efficient repair of the cis-Pt.GG adduct compared to that of the cis-Pt.GCG adduct (Visse et al., 1994). Furthermore, previously, a dependency of cis-DDP mutagenesis on UvrA and UvrB, but not on UvrC was found (Brouwer et al., 1988). To possibly relate survival and mutagenesis to repair, plasmids containing the same site-specific cis-DDP lesions as those that were used in the detailed repair studies were transformed into Escherichia coli. The results indicate that both lesions are very efficiently bypassed in vivo. Mutation analysis was performed using a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis technique, which allows identification of mutations without previous selection. Although the cis-Pt.GG adduct is in vitro more efficiently repaired than the cis-Pt.GCG adduct, it appeared to be more mutagenic. We present a model in which this result is related to the previously observed dependency of the mutagenicity of cis-DDP lesions on the Uvr A and B proteins.

Abstract
The UvrABC endonuclease from Escherichia coli repairs damage in the DNA by dual incision of the damaged strand on both sides of the lesion. The incisions are in an ordered fashion, first on the 3'-side and next on the 5'-side of the damage, and they are the result of binding of UvrC to the UvrB-DNA preincision complex. In this paper, we show that at least the C-terminal 24 amino acids of UvrB are involved in interaction with UvrC and that this binding is important for the 3'-incision. The C-terminal region of UvrB, which shows homology with a domain of the UvrC protein, is part of a region that is predicted to be able to form a coiled-coil. We therefore propose that UvrB and UvrC interact through the formation of such a structure. The C-terminal region of UvrB only interacts with UvrC when present in the preincision complex, indicating that the conformational change in UvrB accompanying the formation of this complex exposes the UvrC binding domain. Binding of UvrC to the C-terminal region of UvrB is not important for the 5'-incision, suggesting that for this incision a different interaction of UvrC with the UvrB-DNA complex is required. Truncated UvrB mutants that lack up to 99 amino acids from the C terminus still give rise to significant incision (1-2%), indicating that this C-terminal region of UvrB does not participate in the formation of the active site for 3'-incision. This region, however, contains the residue (Glu-640) that was proposed to be involved in 3'-catalysis, since a mutation of the residue (E640A) fails to promote 3'-incision (Lin, J.J., Phillips, A.M., Hearst, J.E., and Sancar, A. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 17693-17700). We have isolated a mutant UvrB with the same E640A substitution, but this protein shows normal UvrC binding and incision in vitro and also results in normal survival after UV irradiation in vivo. As a consequence of these results, it is still an open question as to whether the catalytic site for 3'-incision is located in UvrB, in UvrC, or is formed by both proteins.

Abstract
The interactions of the Escherichia coli endonuclease UvrAB proteins with the DNA mono- and diadducts of both the cis-racemic exo-[N-2-amino-N-2-methylamino-2,2,1-bicycloheptane]dichloroplatin um(II) (complex 1) and cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP)), have been studied. Complex 1 reacts faster with DNA than cis-DDP and gives monoadducts with a longer lifetime (8 h 20 min chelation t 1/2 compared with 2 h 40 min for cis-DDP). Using pSP65 plasmid [3H]DNA, the filter binding assay was associated with the analysis of the nucleoprotein complexes to characterize the UvrAB recognition of the platinum adducts and to demonstrate the occurrence of platinum-mediated DNA-protein cross-linking. First, it is shown that the UvrAB proteins recognize the complex 1 mono- and diadducts with a higher affinity than those of cis-DDP. Fifteen times more cis-DDP adducts per plasmid are required than complex 1 adducts, to lead to similar UvrAB binding. However, the UvrAB proteins recognize monoadducts and diadducts of each complex with a similar affinity. Second, it is shown that UvrB is the protein involved in the nucleo-protein complexes formed from mono- and diadducts of complex 1 and cis-DDP. This protein is also partly cross-linked to DNA with a similar efficiency by monoadducts derived from complex 1 and cis-DDP. However, as UvrB has a greater affinity for the DNA adducts of complex 1 than for those of cis-DDP, more UvrB-platinum-DNA cross-links are formed with complex 1 than with cis-DDP. This study, using a bacterial repair system as a model, points to a possible strategy for making new cytotoxic platinum complexes for mammalian cells.

Abstract
UvrB plays a central role in (A)BC excinuclease. To identify the regions of UvrB which are involved in interacting with UvrA, UvrC, and DNA, deletion mutants, point mutants, and various fusion forms of UvrB were constructed and characterized. We found that the region encompassing amino acid residues 115-250 of UvrB binds to UvrA, while the region encompassing amino acid residues 547-673 binds to both UvrA and UvrC. In addition, the region between these two domains, which contains the helicase motifs II-VI, was found to be involved in binding to DNA. Within this DNA-binding region, two point mutants, E265A and E338A, were found to be unable to bind DNA while two residues, Phe-365 and Phe-496, were identified to interact with DNA. Furthermore, fluorescence quenching studies with mutants F365W and F496W and repair of thymine cyclobutane dimers by photoinduced electron transfer by these mutants suggest that residues Phe-365 and Phe-496 interact with DNA most likely through stacking interactions.

Abstract
The UvrB-DNA preincision complex is a key intermediate in the repair of damaged DNA by the UvrABC endonuclease from Escherichia coli. DNaseI footprinting of this complex on DNA with a cis-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GpG)-N7(1),N7(2)]] adduct provided global information on the protein binding site on this substrate [Visse, R., et al. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 7609-7617]. By applying a method developed by Fairall and Rhodes [Fairall, L., & Rhodes, D. (1992) Nucleic Acids Res. 20, 4727-4731], who have used the size and shape of DNasI for the interpretation of a footprint, we were able to define in more detail the region where UvrB-DNA interactions in the preincision complex occur. The potential interactions with phosphate groups could be reduced to less then 14 in the damaged and to 12 in the nondamaged strand. The main UvrB-DNA interactions seem restricted to the major groove on both sides of the lesion. As a consequence UvrB crosses the minor groove just downstream of the damage. Such a binding of UvrB orients the protein away from the damage. The more detailed interpretation of UvrB-DNA interactions was supported by methylation protection experiments. The structure of the DNA in the preincision complex formed on cis-[Pt(NH3)2[GpG-N7(1),N7(2)]] is altered as could be shown diethylpyrocarbonate sensitivity of adenines just downstream of the lesion. However the adenines just downstream of another cisplatin adduct, cis-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GpCpG)-N7(1),N7(3)]], did not become diethylpyrocarbonate sensitive in the preincision complex although this complex is incision proficient.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
