Abstract
Oxidative stress unleashes reactive species capable of oxidizing 2'-deoxyguanosine (G) nucleotides in G-rich sequences of the genome, such as the potential G-quadruplex forming sequencing (PQS) in the NEIL3 gene promoter. Oxidative modification of G yields 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG) that can be further oxidized to hydantoin products. Herein, OG was synthesized into the NEIL3 PQS that was allowed to fold to a G-quadruplex (G4) in K+ ion solutions with varying amounts of Mg2+ in the physiological range. The Mg2+ dependency in the oxidatively modified NEIL3 G4 to stall a replicative DNA polymerase was evaluated. The polymerase was found to stall at the G4 or OG, as well as continue to full-length extension with dependency on the location of the modification and the concentration of Mg2+. To provide some clarity on these findings, OG or the hydantoins were synthesized in model NEIL3 G4 folding sequences at the positions of the polymerase study. The model G4 sequences were allowed to fold in K+ ion solutions with varying levels of Mg2+ to identify how the presence of the divalent metal impacted G4 folding depending on the location of the modification. The presence of Mg2+ either caused the transition of the NEIL3 G4 folds from an antiparallel to parallel orientation of the strands or had no impact. Structural models are proposed to understand the findings using the literature as a guide. The biological significance of the results is discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes are routinely used to visualize DNA or RNA in various experiments, and some dyes also act as photosensitizers capable of catalyzing oxidation reactions. The present studies explored whether the common labeling dyes fluorescein, rhodamine, BODIPY, or cyanine3 (Cy3) can function as photosensitizers to oxidize nucleic acid polymers. Photoirradiation of each dye in the presence of the guanine (G) heterocycle, which is the most sensitive toward oxidation, identified slow rates of nucleobase oxidation in the nucleoside and DNA contexts. For all four fluorophores studied, the only product detected was spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) suggesting the dyes functioned as Type II photosensitizers and generate singlet oxygen (1O2). The nucleoside reactions were then conducted in D2O solutions, known to increase the lifetime of 1O2, which resulted in a ~6-fold increase in the Sp yield, further supporting the classification of these dyes as Type II photosensitizers. Lastly, we inspected the pattern of G reactivity with the dyes upon photoirradiation in the context of a parallel-stranded G-quadruplex. The G nucleotides in the two exterior G-tetrads were found to be oxidation prone, providing the third line of evidence that the dyes are Type II photooxidants. The present work found that the common dyes fluorescein, rhodamine, BODIPY, or Cy3 can drive G oxidation but with a slow rate and low overall yield. This will likely not impact many experiments using dyes to study nucleic acids except for those that have long exposures with high-intensity lights, such as sequencing-by-synthesis experiments using fluorescence as the readout.

Abstract
PURPOSE One outcome of DNA damage from hydroxyl radical generated by ionizing radiation (IR) or by the Fenton reaction is oxidation of the nucleobases, especially guanine (G). While 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) is a commonly studied oxidized lesion, several others are formed in high abundance, including 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih), a prevalent product in in vitro chemistry that is challenging to study from cellular sources. In this short review, we have a goal of explaining new insights into hydroxyl radical-induced oxidation chemistry of G in DNA and comparing it to endogenous DNA damage, as well as commenting on the biological outcomes of DNA base damage. CONCLUSIONS Pathways of oxidation of G are discussed and a comparison is made between IR (hydroxyl radical chemistry) and endogenous oxidative stress that largely forms carbonate radical anion as a reactive intermediate. These pathways overlap with the formation of OG and 2Ih, but other guanine-derived lesions are more pathway specific. The biological consequences of guanine oxidation include both mutagenesis and epigenetics; a new mechanism of gene regulation via the base excision repair pathway is described for OG, whereas the impact of IR in forming guanine modifications may be to confound this process in addition to introduction of mutagenic sites.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species formation and resultant oxidative damage to DNA are ubiquitous events in cells, the homeostasis of which can be dysregulated in a range of pathological conditions. Base excision repair (BER) is the primary repair mechanism for oxidative genomic DNA damage. One prevalent oxidised base modification, 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), is recognised by 8-oxoguanine glycosylase-1 (OGG1) initiating removal and repair via BER. Surprisingly, Ogg1 null mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mOgg1-/- MEFs) do not accumulate 8-oxoG in the genome to the extent expected. This suggests that there are backup repair mechanisms capable of repairing 8-oxoG in the absence of OGG1. In the current study, we identified components of NER (Ercc1, Ercc4, Ercc5), BER (Lig1, Tdg, Nthl1, Mpg, Mgmt, NEIL3), MMR (Mlh1, Msh2, Msh6) and DSB (Brip1, Rad51d, Prkdc) pathways that are transcriptionally elevated in mOgg1-/- MEFs. Interestingly, all three nucleotide excision repair genes identified: Ercc1 (2.5 ± 0.2-fold), Ercc4 (1.5 ± 0.1-fold) and Ercc5 (1.7 ± 0.2-fold) have incision activity. There was also a significant functional increase in NER activity (42.0 ± 7.9%) compared to WT MEFs. We also observed upregulation of both Neil3 mRNA (37.9 ± 1.6-fold) and protein in mOgg1-/- MEFs. This was associated with a 3.4 ± 0.4-fold increase in NEIL3 substrate sites in genomic DNA of cells treated with BSO, consistent with the ability of NEIL3 to remove 8-oxoG oxidation products from genomic DNA. In conclusion, we suggest that in Ogg1-null cells, upregulation of multiple DNA repair proteins including incision components of the NER pathway and Neil3 are important compensatory responses to prevent the accumulation of genomic 8-oxoG.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species, both endogenous and exogenous, can damage nucleobases of RNA and DNA. Among the nucleobases, guanine has the lowest redox potential, making it a major target of oxidation. Although RNA is more prone to oxidation than DNA is, oxidation of guanine in RNA has been studied to a significantly lesser extent. One of the reasons for this is that many tools that were previously developed to study oxidation of DNA cannot be used on RNA. In the study presented here, the lack of a method for seeking sites of modification in RNA where oxidation occurs is addressed. For this purpose, reverse transcription of RNA containing major products of guanine oxidation was used. Extension of a DNA primer annealed to an RNA template containing 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh), or the R and S diastereomers of spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) was studied under standing start conditions. SuperScript III reverse transcriptase is capable of bypassing these lesions in RNA inserting predominantly A opposite OG, predominantly G opposite Gh, and almost an equal mixture of A and G opposite the Sp diastereomers. These data should allow RNA sequencing of guanine oxidation products by following characteristic mutation signatures formed by the reverse transcriptase during primer elongation past G oxidation sites in the template RNA strand.

Abstract
The most common, oxidatively generated lesion in cellular DNA is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, which can be oxidized further to yield highly mutagenic spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) in DNA. In human cell-free extracts, both lesions can be excised by base excision repair and global genomic nucleotide excision repair. However, it is not known if these lesions can be removed by transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR), a pathway that clears lesions from DNA that impede RNA synthesis. To determine if Sp or Gh impedes transcription, which could make each a viable substrate for TCR, either an Sp or a Gh lesion was positioned on the transcribed strand of DNA under the control of a promoter that supports transcription by human RNA polymerase II. These constructs were incubated in HeLa nuclear extracts that contained active RNA polymerase II, and the resulting transcripts were resolved by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The structurally rigid Sp strongly blocks transcription elongation, permitting 1.6 ± 0.5% nominal lesion bypass. In contrast, the conformationally flexible Gh poses less of a block to human RNAPII, allowing 9 ± 2% bypass. Furthermore, fractional lesion bypass for Sp and Gh is minimally affected by glycosylase activity found in the HeLa nuclear extract. These data specifically suggest that both Sp and Gh may well be susceptible to TCR because each poses a significant block to human RNA polymerase II progression. A more general principle is also proposed: Conformational flexibility may be an important structural feature of DNA lesions that enhances their transcriptional bypass.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are harnessed by the cell for signaling at the same time as being detrimental to cellular components such as DNA. The genome and transcriptome contain instructions that can alter cellular processes when oxidized. The guanine (G) heterocycle in the nucleotide pool, DNA, or RNA is the base most prone to oxidation. The oxidatively-derived products of G consistently observed in high yields from hydroxyl radical, carbonate radical, or singlet oxygen oxidations under conditions modeling the cellular reducing environment are discussed. The major G base oxidation products are 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih), spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh). The yields of these products show dependency on the oxidant and the reaction context that includes nucleoside, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and G-quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA) structures. Upon formation of these products in cells, they are recognized by the DNA glycosylases in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. This review focuses on initiation of BER by the mammalian Nei-like1-3 (NEIL1-3) glycosylases for removal of 2Ih, Sp, and Gh. The unique ability of the human NEILs to initiate removal of the hydantoins in ssDNA, bulge-DNA, bubble-DNA, dsDNA, and G4-DNA is outlined. Additionally, when Gh exists in a G4 DNA found in a gene promoter, NEIL-mediated repair is modulated by the plasticity of the G4-DNA structure provided by additional G-runs flanking the sequence. On the basis of these observations and cellular studies from the literature, the interplay between DNA oxidation and BER to alter gene expression is discussed.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to the genome can yield the base 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG). In vitro studies suggested OG would preferentially form in 5'-GG-3' sequence contexts after exposure to reactive oxygen species. Herein, OG locations in the genome were studied by development of "OG-Seq" to sequence OG sites via next-generation sequencing at ∼0.15-kb resolution. The results of this study found ∼10 000 regions of OG enrichment in WT mouse embryonic fibroblasts and ∼18 000 regions when the OG repair glycosylase Ogg1 was knocked out. Gene promoters and UTRs harbor more OG-enriched sites than expected if the sites were randomly distributed throughout the genome and correlate with reactive 5'-GG-3' sequences, a result supporting decades of in vitro studies. Sequencing of OG paves the way to address chemical and biological questions surrounding this modified DNA base, such as its role in disease-specific mutations and its epigenetic potential in gene regulation.

Abstract
Oxidation of guanine by reactive oxygen species and high valent metals produces damaging DNA base lesions like 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG). 8-oxoG can be further oxidized to form the spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) lesion, which is even more mutagenic. DNA polymerases preferentially incorporate purines opposite the Sp lesion, and DNA glycosylases excise the Sp lesion from the duplex, although the rate of repair is different for the two Sp diastereomers. To further understand the biological processing of the Sp lesion, differential scanning calorimetry studies were performed on a series of 15-mer DNA duplexes. The thermal and thermodynamic stabilities of each of the Sp diastereomers paired to the four standard DNA bases were investigated. It was found that, regardless of the base-pairing partner, the Sp lesion was always highly destabilizing in terms of DNA melting temperature, enthalpic stability, and overall duplex free energy. We found no significant differences between the two Sp diastereomers, but changing the base-pairing partner of the Sp lesion produced slight differences in stability. Specifically, duplexes with Sp:C pairings were always the most destabilized, whereas pairing the Sp lesion with a purine base modestly increased stability. Overall, these results suggest that, although the stability of the Sp diastereomers cannot explain the differences in the rates of repair by DNA glycosylases, the most stable base-pairing partners do correspond with the nucleotide preference of DNA polymerases.

Abstract
Four-electron oxidation of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) yields 5-guanidinohydantoin (dGh) as a product. Previously, we hypothesized that dGh could isomerize to iminoallantoin (dIa) via a mechanism similar to the isomerization of allantoin. The isomerization reaction was monitored by HPLC and found to be pH dependent with a transition pH = 10.1 in which dGh was favored at low pH and dIa was favored at high pH. The structures for these isomers were confirmed by UV-vis, MS, and (1)H and (13)C NMR. Additionally, the UV-vis and NMR experimental results are supported by density functional theory calculations. A mechanism is proposed to support the pH dependency of the isomerization reaction. Next, we noted the hydantoin ring of dGh mimics thymine, while the iminohydantoin ring of dIa mimics cytosine; consequently, a dGh/dIa site was synthesized in a DNA template strand, and standing start primer extension studies were conducted with Klenow fragment exo(-). The dATP/dGTP insertion ratio opposite the dGh/dIa site as a function of pH was evaluated from pH 6.5-9.0. At pH 6.5, only dATP was inserted, but as the pH increased to 9.0, the amount of dGTP insertion steadily increased. This observation supports dGh to dIa isomerization in DNA with a transition pH of ∼8.2.

Abstract
Guanine (G) is a target for oxidation by reactive oxygen species in DNA, RNA, and the nucleotide pool. Damage to DNA yields products with alternative properties toward DNA processing enzymes compared to those of the parent nucleotide. A new lesion, 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih), bearing a stereocenter in the base was recently identified from the oxidation of G. DNA polymerase and base excision repair processing of this new lesion has now been evaluated. Single nucleotide insertion opposite (S)-2Ih and (R)-2Ih in the template strand catalyzed by the DNA polymerases Klenow fragment exo(-), DPO4, and Hemo KlenTaq demonstrates these lesions to cause point mutations. Specifically, they promote 3-fold more G·C → C·G transversion mutations than G·C → T·A, and (S)-2Ih was 2-fold more blocking for polymerase bypass than (R)-2Ih. Both diastereomer lesions were found to be substrates for the DNA glycosylases NEIL1 and Fpg, and poorly excised by endonuclease III (Nth). The activity was independent of the base pair partner. Thermal melting, CD spectroscopy, and density functional theory geometric optimization calculations were conducted to provide insight into these polymerase and DNA glycosylase studies. These results identify that formation of the 2Ih lesions in a cell would be mutagenic in the event that they were not properly repaired.

Abstract
Upon oxidation of the heterocyclic ring in 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG), the initial electrophilic intermediate displays a wide range of reactivities with nucleophiles leading to many downstream products. In the present study, the product profiles were mapped when aqueous solutions of dG were allowed to react with NH4Cl in the presence of the photooxidants riboflavin and Rose Bengal as well as the diffusible one-electron oxidant Na2IrCl6. Product characterization identified the 2'-deoxyribonucleosides of spiroiminodihydantoin, 5-guanidinohydantoin, and oxazolone resulting from H2O as the nucleophile. When NH3 was the nucleophile, a set of constitutional isomers that are diastereotopic were also observed, giving characteristic masses of dG + 31. ESI(+)-MS/MS of these NH3 adducts identified them to be spirocycles with substitution of either the C5 or C8 carbonyl with an amine. The NH3 adducts exhibit acid-catalyzed hydrolysis to spiroiminodihydantoin. Quantification of the NH3 and H2O adducts resulting from oxidation of dG in the nucleoside, single-stranded, and duplex oligodeoxynucleotide contexts were monitored allowing mechanisms for product formation to be proposed. These data also provide a cautionary note to those who purify their oligonucleotide samples with ammonium salts before oxidation because this will lead to unwanted side reactions in which ammonia participates in product formation.

Abstract
![]()
The
first high-resolution crystal structure of spiroiminodihydantoin
(dSp1) was obtained in the context of the DNA polymerase β active
site and reveals two areas of significance. First, the structure verifies
the recently determined S configuration at the spirocyclic
carbon. Second, the distortion of the DNA duplex is similar to that
of the single-oxidation product 8-oxoguanine. For both oxidized lesions,
adaptation of the syn conformation results in similar
backbone distortions in the DNA duplex. The resulting conformation
positions the dSp1 A-ring as the base-pairing face whereas the B-ring
of dSp1 protrudes into the major groove.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (dOG), a well-studied oxidation product of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG), is prone to facile further oxidation forming spiroiminodihydantoin 2'-deoxyribonucleoside (dSp) in the nucleotide pool and in single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs). Many methods for quantification of damaged lesions in the genome rely on digestion of DNA with exonucleases or endonucleases and dephosphorylation followed by LC-MS analysis of the resulting nucleosides. In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis of dSp-containing ODNs was investigated with snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVPD), spleen phosphodiesterase (SPD) and nuclease P1. SVPD led to formation of a dinucleotide, 5'-d(Np[Sp])-3' (N = any nucleotide) that included the undamaged nucleotide on the 5' side of dSp as the final product. This dinucleotide was a substrate for both SPD and nuclease P1. A kinetic study of the activity of SPD and nuclease P1 showed a sequence dependence on the nucleotide 5' to the lesion with rates in the order dG>dA>dT>dC. In addition, the two diastereomers of dSp underwent digestion at significantly different rates with dSp1>dSp2; nuclease P1 hydrolyzed the 5'-d(Np[Sp1])-3' dinucleotide two- to six-fold faster than the corresponding 5'-d(Np[Sp2])-3', while for SPD the difference was two-fold. These rates are chemically reasoned based on dSp diastereomer differences in the syn vs. anti glycosidic bond orientation. A method for the complete digestion of dSp-containing ODNs is also outlined based on treatment with nuclease P1 and SVPD. These findings have significant impact on the development of methods to detect dSp levels in cellular DNA.

Abstract
An important feature of the common DNA oxidation product 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) is its susceptibility to further oxidation that produces guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) lesions. In the presence of amines, G or OG oxidation produces hydantoin amine adducts. Such adducts may form in cells via interception of oxidized intermediates by protein-derived nucleophiles or naturally occurring amines that are tightly associated with DNA. Gh and Sp are known to be substrates for base excision repair (BER) glycosylases; however, large Sp-amine adducts would be expected to be more readily repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER). A series of Sp adducts differing in the size of the attached amine were synthesized to evaluate the relative processing by NER and BER. The UvrABC complex excised Gh, Sp, and the Sp-amine adducts from duplex DNA, with the greatest efficiency for the largest Sp-amine adducts. The affinity of UvrA for all of the lesion duplexes was found to be similar, whereas the efficiency of UvrB loading tracked with the efficiency of UvrABC excision. In contrast, the human BER glycosylase NEIL1 exhibited robust activity for all Sp-amine adducts irrespective of size. These studies suggest that both NER and BER pathways mediate repair of a diverse set of hydantoin lesions in cells.

Abstract
The spiroiminodihydantoins (Sp) are highly mutagenic oxidation products of guanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine in DNA. The Sp lesions have recently been detected in the liver and colon of mice infected with Helicobacter hepaticus that induces inflammation and the development of liver and colon cancers in murine model systems [Mangerich, A., et al. (2012) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 109, E1820-E1829]. The impact of Sp lesions on the thermodynamic characteristics and the effects of the diastereomeric Sp-R and Sp-S lesions on the conformational features of double-stranded 11-mer oligonucleotide duplexes have been studied by a combination of microcalorimetric methods, analysis of DNA melting curves, and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The nonplanar, propeller-like shapes of the Sp residues strongly diminish the extent of local base stacking interactions that destabilize the DNA duplexes characterized by unfavorable enthalpy contributions. Relative to that of an unmodified duplex, the thermally induced unfolding of the duplexes with centrally positioned Sp-R and Sp-S lesions into single strands is accompanied by a smaller release of cationic counterions (Δn(Na⁺) = 0.6 mol of Na⁺/mol of duplex) and water molecules (Δn(w) = 17 mol of H₂O/mol of duplex). The unfolding parameters are similar for the Sp-R and Sp-S lesions, although their orientations in the duplexes are different. The structural disturbances radiate one base pair beyond the flanking C:G pair, although Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding is maintained at all flanking base pairs. The observed relatively strong destabilization of B-form DNA by the physically small Sp lesions is expected to have a significant impact on the processing of these lesions in biological environments.

Abstract
DNA glycosylases are the enzymes that initiate the Base Excision Repair (BER) process that protects all organisms from the mutagenic and/or cytotoxic effects of DNA base lesions. Endonuclease VIII like proteins (Neil1, Neil2 and Neil3) are found in vertebrate genomes and are homologous to the well-characterized bacterial DNA glycosylases, Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg) and Endonuclease VIII (Nei). Since the initial discovery of the Neil proteins, much progress has been made on characterizing Neil1 and Neil2. It was not until recently, however, that Neil3 was shown to be a functional DNA glycosylase having a different substrate specificity and unusual structural features compared with other Fpg/Nei homologs. Although the biological functions of Neil3 still remain an enigma, this review highlights recent biochemical and structural data that may ultimately shed light on its biological role.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) is the most common base damage found in cells, where it resides in many structural contexts, including the nucleotide pool, single-stranded DNA at transcription forks and replication bubbles, and duplex DNA base-paired with either adenine (A) or cytosine (C). OG is prone to further oxidation to the highly mutagenic hydantoin products spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) in a sharply pH-dependent fashion within nucleosides. In the present work, studies were conducted to determine how the structural context affects OG oxidation to the hydantoins. These studies revealed a trend in which the Sp yield was greatest in unencumbered contexts, such as nucleosides, while the Gh yield increased in oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) contexts or at reduced pH. Oxidation of oligomers containing hydrogen-bond modulators (2,6-diaminopurine, N(4)-ethylcytidine) or alteration of the reaction conditions (pH, temperature, and salt) identify base stacking, electrostatics, and base pairing as the drivers of the key intermediate 5-hydroxy-8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (5-HO-OG) partitioning along the two hydantoin pathways, allowing us to propose a mechanism for the observed base-pairing effects. Moreover, these structural effects cause an increase in the effective pK(a) of 5-HO-OG, following an increasing trend from 5.7 in nucleosides to 7.7 in a duplex bearing an OG·C base pair, which supports the context-dependent product yields. The high yield of Gh in ODNs underscores the importance of further study on this lesion. The structural context of OG also determined its relative reactivity toward oxidation, for which the OG·A base pair is ~2.5-fold more reactive than an OG·C base pair, and with the weak one-electron oxidant ferricyanide, the OG nucleoside reactivity is >6000-fold greater than that of OG·C in a duplex, leading to the conclusion that OG in the nucleoside pool should act as a protective agent for OG in the genome.

Abstract
Of the four native nucleosides, 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) is most easily oxidized. Two lesions derived from dGuo are 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (Fapy)∙dGuo. Furthermore, while steady-state levels of 8-oxodGuo can be detected in genomic DNA, it is also known that 8-oxodGuo is more easily oxidized than dGuo. Thus, 8-oxodGuo is susceptible to further oxidation to form several hyperoxidized dGuo products. This review addresses the structural impact, the mutagenic and genotoxic potential, and biological implications of oxidatively damaged DNA, in particular 8-oxodGuo, Fapy∙dGuo, and the hyperoxidized dGuo products.

Abstract
Continuous oxidative damage inflicted on DNA produces 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), a commonly occurring lesion that can potentially cause cancer by producing G → T transversions during DNA replication. Mild oxidation of 8-oxoG leads to the formation of hydantoins, specifically guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), which are 100% mutagenic because they encode almost exclusively the insertion of dAMP and dGMP (encoding G → T and G → C transversions, respectively). The wild-type (wt) pol α family DNA polymerase from bacteriophage RB69 (RB69pol) inserts dAMP and dGMP with low efficiency when situated opposite Gh. In contrast, the RB69pol Y567A mutant inserts both of these dNMPs opposite Gh with >100-fold higher efficiency than wt. We now report the crystal structure of the "closed" preinsertion complex for the Y567A mutant with dATP opposite a templating Gh (R-configuration) in a 13/18mer primer-template (P/T) at 2.0 Å resolution. The structure data reveal that the Y to A substitution provides the nascent base pair binding pocket (NBP) with the flexibility to accommodate Gh by allowing G568 to move in the major-to-minor groove direction of the P/T. Thus, Gh is rejected as a templating base by wt RB69pol because G568 is inflexible, preventing Gh from pairing with the incoming dATP or dGTP base.

Abstract
The usefulness of modern density functional theory (DFT) methods is considered for establishing the absolute configurations of DNA lesions by comparisons of computed and experimentally measured optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Two rigid, structurally different DNA lesions (two spiroiminodihydantoin stereoisomers and four equine estrogen 4-hydoxyequilenin-DNA stereoisomeric adducts) have been investigated. In all cases, the signs and shapes of the computed ORD spectra reproduced the experimentally measured ORD spectra, although the magnitudes of the computed and experimental ORD values do not coincide exactly. The computed ECD spectra also reproduced the shapes of the experimental ECD spectra rather well, but are blue-shifted by 10-20 nm. Since the assignments of the absolute configurations of the DNA lesions studied based on computed and experimental ORD and ECD spectra are fully consistent with one another, the computational DFT method shows significant promise for determining the absolute configurations of DNA lesions. Establishing the stereochemistry of DNA lesions is highly useful for understanding their biological impact, especially when sufficient amounts of material are not available for other methods of structural characterization.

Abstract
The oxidation of guanine generates one of the most common DNA lesions, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG). The further oxidation of 8-oxoG can produce either guanidinohydantoin (Gh) in duplex DNA or spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) in nucleosides and ssDNA. Although Gh can be a strong block for replicative DNA polymerases such as RB69 DNA polymerase, this lesion is also mutagenic: DNA polymerases bypass Gh by preferentially incorporating a purine with a slight preference for adenine, which results in G.C --> T.A or G.C --> C.G transversions. The 2.15 A crystal structure of the replicative RB69 DNA polymerase in complex with DNA containing Gh reveals that Gh is extrahelical and rotated toward the major groove. In this conformation Gh is no longer in position to serve as a templating base for the incorporation of an incoming nucleotide. This work also constitutes the first crystallographic structure of Gh, which is stabilized in the R configuration in the two polymerase/DNA complexes present in the crystal asymmetric unit. In contrast to 8-oxoG, Gh is found in a high syn conformation in the DNA duplex and therefore presents the same hydrogen bond donor and acceptor pattern as thymine, which explains the propensity of DNA polymerases to incorporate a purine opposite Gh when bypass occurs.

Abstract
Human DNA glycosylase NEIL1 exhibits a superior ability to remove oxidized guanine lesions guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) from duplex DNA in comparison to other substrates. In this work, Gh and Sp lesions in bubble, bulge, and single-stranded DNA were found to be good substrates for NEIL1 but were typically excised at much slower rates than from canonical duplex substrates. A notable exception was the activity of NEIL1 on removal of Gh in bubble structures which approaches that of the normal duplex substrate. The cleavage of Gh in the template strand of a replication or transcription bubble may prevent mutations associated with Gh during replication or transcription. However, removal of hydantoin lesions in the absence of an opposite base may also result in strand breaks and potentially deletion and frameshift mutations. Consistent with this as a potential mechanism leading to an N-1 frameshift mutation, the nick left after the removal of the Gh lesion in a DNA bulge by NEIL1 was efficiently religated in the presence of polynucleotide kinase (PNK) and human DNA ligase III (Lig III). These results indicate that NEIL1 does not require a base opposite to identify and remove hydantoin lesions. Depending on the context, the glycosylase activity of NEIL1 may stall replication and prevent mutations or lead to inappropriate removal that may contribute to the mutational spectrum of these unusual lesions.

Abstract
To protect cells from oxidative DNA damage and mutagenesis, organisms possess multiple glycosylases to recognize the damaged bases and to initiate the Base Excision Repair pathway. Three DNA glycosylases have been identified in mammals that are homologous to the Escherichia coli Fpg and Nei proteins, Neil1, Neil2, and Neil3. Neil1 and Neil2 in human and mouse have been well characterized while the properties of the Neil3 protein remain to be elucidated. In this study, we report the characterization of Mus musculus (house mouse) Neil3 (MmuNeil3) as an active DNA glycosylase both in vitro and in vivo. In duplex DNA, MmuNeil3 recognizes the oxidized purines, spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), guanidinohydantoin (Gh), 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) and 4,6-diamino- 5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyA), but not 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG). Interestingly, MmuNeil3 prefers lesions in single-stranded DNA and in bubble structures. In contrast to other members of the family that use the N-terminal proline as the nucleophile, MmuNeil3 forms a Schiff base intermediate via its N-terminal valine. We expressed the glycosylase domain of MmuNeil3 (MmuNeil3Delta324) in an Escherichia coli triple mutant lacking Fpg, Nei, and MutY glycosylase activities and showed that MmuNeil3 greatly reduced both the spontaneous mutation frequency and the level of FapyG in the DNA, suggesting that Neil3 plays a role in repairing FapyG in vivo.

Abstract
The assignment of absolute configurations is of critical importance for understanding the biochemical processing of DNA lesions. The diastereomeric spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) lesions are oxidation products of guanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), and the absolute configurations of the two diastereomers, Sp1 and Sp2, have been evaluated by experimental and computational optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) methods. In order to support our previous assignments by the ORD method, we calculated the electronic circular dichroism spectra (ECD) of the Sp stereoisomers. Comparison of the experimentally measured and computed ECD spectra indicates that Sp1 has (-)-S absolute configuration, while Sp2 has (+)-R absolute configuration. Thus, the S and R assignments, based on the ECD spectra of Sp1 and Sp2, are consistent with our previous assignments of absolute configurations. To further test the validity of this approach, we performed a proof-of-principle computation of the ECD and ORD of the R and S enantiomers of allantoin (similar in chemical composition to Sp) of known absolute configurations. The calculations provide the correct assignment of the absolute configurations of the allantoin enantiomers, indicating that the computational TDDFT approach is robust for identifying the absolute configurations of allantoins and probably the Sp stereoisomers, as has been shown previously for other organic molecules.

Abstract
Oxidatively induced damage to DNA results in a plethora of lesions comprising modified bases and sugars, DNA-protein cross-links, tandem lesions, strand breaks, and clustered lesions. Formamidopyrimidines, 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua), are among the major lesions generated in DNA by hydroxyl radical attack, UV radiation, or photosensitization under numerous in vitro and in vivo conditions. They are formed by one-electron reduction of C8-OH-adduct radicals of purines and thus have a common precursor with 8-hydroxypurines generated upon one-electron oxidation. Methodologies using mass spectrometry exist to accurately measure FapyAde and FapyGua in vitro and in vivo. Formamidopyrimidines are repaired by base excision repair. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA glycosylases are highly specific for removal of these lesions from DNA in the first step of this repair pathway, indicating their biological importance. FapyAde and FapyGua are bypassed by DNA polymerases with the insertion of the wrong intact base opposite them, leading to mutagenesis. In mammalian cells, the mutagenicity of FapyGua exceeds that of 8-hydroxyguanine, which is thought to be the most mutagenic of the oxidatively induced lesions in DNA. The background and formation levels of the former in vitro and in vivo equal or exceed those of the latter under various conditions. FapyAde and FapyGua exist in living cells at significant background levels and are abundantly generated upon exposure to oxidative stress. Mice lacking the genes that encode specific DNA glycosylases accumulate these lesions in different organs and, in some cases, exhibit a series of pathological conditions including metabolic syndrome and cancer. Animals exposed to environmental toxins accumulate formamidopyrimidines in their organs. Here, we extensively review the mechanisms of formation, measurement, repair, and biological effects of formamidopyrimidines that have been investigated in the past 50 years. Our goal is to emphasize the importance of these neglected lesions in many biological and disease processes.

Abstract
For all living organisms, genome stability is important, but is also under constant threat because various environmental and endogenous damaging agents can modify the structural properties of DNA bases. As a defense, organisms have developed different DNA repair pathways. Base excision repair (BER) is the predominant pathway for coping with a broad range of small lesions resulting from oxidation, alkylation, and deamination, which modify individual bases without large effect on the double helix structure. As, in mammalian cells, this damage is estimated to account daily for 10(4) events per cell, the need for BER pathways is unquestionable. The damage-specific removal is carried out by a considerable group of enzymes, designated as DNA glycosylases. Each DNA glycosylase has its unique specificity and many of them are ubiquitous in microorganisms, mammals, and plants. Here, we review the importance of the BER pathway and we focus on the different roles of DNA glycosylases in various organisms.

Abstract
The DNA glycosylase hNEIL1 initiates the base excision repair (BER) of a diverse array of lesions, including ring-opened purines and saturated pyrimidines. Of these, the hydantoin lesions, guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and the two diastereomers of spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp1 and Sp2), have garnered much recent attention due to their unusual structures, high mutagenic potential, and detection in cells. In order to provide insight into the role of repair, the excision efficiency by hNEIL1 of these hydantoin lesions relative to other known substrates was determined. Most notably, quantitative examination of the substrate specificity with hNEIL1 revealed that the hydantoin lesions are excised much more efficiently (>100-fold faster) than the reported standard substrates thymine glycol (Tg) and 5-hydroxycytosine (5-OHC). Importantly, the glycosylase and beta,delta-lyase reactions are tightly coupled such that the rate of the lyase activity does not influence the observed substrate specificity. The activity of hNEIL1 is also influenced by the base pair partner of the lesion, with both Gh and Sp removal being more efficient when paired with T, G, or C than when paired with A. Notably, the most efficient removal is observed with the Gh or Sp paired in the unlikely physiological context with T; indeed, this may be a consequence of the unstable nature of base pairs with T. However, the facile removal via BER in promutagenic base pairs that are reasonably formed after replication (such as Gh.G) may be a factor that modulates the mutagenic profile of these lesions. In addition, hNEIL1 excises Sp1 faster than Sp2, indicating the enzyme can discriminate between the two diastereomers. This is the first time that a BER glycosylase has been shown to be able to preferentially excise one diastereomer of Sp. This may be a consequence of the architecture of the active site of hNEIL1 and the structural uniqueness of the Sp lesion. These results indicate that the hydantoin lesions are the best substrates identified thus far for hNEIL1 and suggest that repair of these lesions may be a critical function of the hNEIL1 enzyme in vivo.

Abstract
We investigated the incorporation of oxidatively modified guanine residues in DNA using three DNA polymerases, Escherichia coli Kf exo+, Kf exo-, and Taq DNA polymerase. We prepared nucleoside 5'-triphosphates with modified bases (dN (ox)TP) including imidazolone associated with oxazolone (dIzTP/dZTP), dehydroguanidinohydantoin (dOGhTP), and oxaluric acid (dOxaTP). We showed that the single-nucleotide incorporation of these dN (ox)TP at the 3'-end of a primer DNA strand was possible opposite C or G for dIzTP/dZTP, opposite C for dOGhTP using the Klenow fragment, and opposite C for dOxaTP using Taq. The efficiency of these misincorporations was compared to that of the nucleoside 5'-triphosphate modified with the mutagenic guanine lesion 8-oxo-G opposite A or C as well as to that of the natural dNTPs. The reaction was found not competitive. However, the ability of Kf exo- to further copy the whole template DNA strand from the primer carrying one modified residue at the 3'-end proved to be easy and rapid. The two-step polymerization process consisting of the single-nucleotide extension followed by the full extension of a primer afforded a method for the preparation of tailored double-stranded DNA oligonucleotides carrying a single modified base at a precise site on any sequence. This very rapid method allowed the incorporation of unique residues in DNA that were not available before due to their unstable character.

Abstract
Oxidation of guanine (G) and 8-oxoguanine (OG) with a wide variety of oxidants yields the hydantoin lesions, guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp). These two lesions have garnered much recent attention due to their unusual structures and high mutagenic potential. We have previously shown that duplexes containing Gh and Sp are substrates for the base excision repair glycosylase Escherichia coli Fpg (EcFpg). To evaluate the recognition features of these unusual lesions, binding and footprinting experiments were performed using a glycosylase inactive variant, E3Q EcFpg, and 30 bp duplexes containing the embedded lesions. Surprisingly, E3Q EcFpg was found to bind significantly more tightly ( approximately 1000-fold) to duplexes containing Gh or Sp over the corresponding duplexes containing OG. This may be a consequence of the helix-destabilizing nature of the hydantoin lesions that facilitates their recognition within duplex DNA. Though DNA binding affinities of E3Q EcFpg with Gh- and Sp-containing duplexes were found to be similar to each other, hydroxyl radical footprinting using methidium-propyl-EDTA (MPE)-Fe(II) revealed subtle differences between binding of E3Q EcFpg to the two lesions. Most notably, in the presence of E3Q EcFpg, the Sp nucleotide (nt) is hyperreactive toward cleavage by MPE-Fe(II)-generated hydroxyl radicals, suggestive of the formation of an intercalation site for the MPE-Fe(II) reagent at the Sp nt. Interestingly, increasing the duplex length from 18 to 30 bp enhanced the excision efficiency of Gh and Sp paired with C, G, or T by EcFpg such that these substrates are processed as efficiently as the signature substrate lesion, OG. Moreover, the base removal activity with these two lesions was more efficient than removal of OG when in a base pairing context opposite A. The high affinity and efficient activity of EcFpg toward the hydantoin lesions suggest that EcFpg mediates repair of the lesions in vivo. Notably, the facile activity of EcFpg toward Gh and Sp in base pairing contexts with G and A, which are likely to be present after DNA replication, would be detrimental and enhance mutagenesis.

Abstract
Maintaining the chemical integrity of DNA in the face of assault by oxidizing agents is a constant challenge for living organisms. Base-excision repair has an important role in preventing mutations associated with a common product of oxidative damage to DNA, 8-oxoguanine. Recent structural studies have shown that 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylases use an intricate series of steps to locate and excise 8-oxoguanine lesions efficiently against a high background of undamaged bases. The importance of preventing mutations associated with 8-oxoguanine is shown by a direct association between defects in the DNA glycosylase MUTYH and colorectal cancer. The properties of other guanine oxidation products and the associated DNA glycosylases that remove them are now also being revealed.

Abstract
Ligases conduct the final stage of repair of DNA damage by sealing a single-stranded nick after excision of damaged nucleotides and reinsertion of correct nucleotides. Depending upon the circumstances and the success of the repair process, lesions may remain at the ligation site, either in the template or at the oligomer termini to be joined. Ligation experiments using bacteriophage T4 DNA ligase were carried out with purine lesions in four positions surrounding the nick site in a total of 96 different duplexes. The oxidized lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (OG) showed, as expected, that the enzyme is most sensitive to lesions on the 3' end of the nick compared to the 5' end and to lesions located in the intact template strand. In general, substrates containing the OG.A mismatch were more readily ligated than those with the OG.C mismatch. Ligations of duplexes containing the OA.T base pair (OA = 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroadenosine) that could adopt an anti-anti conformation proceeded with high efficiencies. An OI.A mismatch-containing duplex (OI = 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroinosine) behaved like OG.A. Due to its low reduction potential, OG is readily oxidized to secondary oxidation products, such as the guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) nucleosides; these lesions also contain an oxo group at the original C8 position of the purine. Ligation of oligomers containing Gh and Sp occurred when opposite A and G, although the overall ligation efficiencies were much lower than those of most OG base pairs. Steady-state kinetic studies were carried out for representative examples of lesions in the template. Km increased by 90-100-fold for OG.C-, OI.C-, OI.A-, and OA.T-containing duplexes compared to that of a G.C-containing duplex. Substrates containing Gh.A, Gh.G, Sp.A, and Sp.G base pairs exhibited Km values 20-70-fold higher than that of the substrate containing a G.C base pair, while the Km value for OG.A was 5 times lower than that for G.C.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at gaining further insights into stereochemical and conformational features of the 4R and 4S diastereomers of spiroiminodihydantoin 2'-deoxyribonucleosides that have been shown to be the predominant singlet oxygen oxidation products of 2'-deoxyguanosine in aqueous solutions. It may be added that spiroiminodihydantoin derivatives are efficiently generated by one-electron and singlet oxygen oxidation of the 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine moiety of several nucleic acid components including nucleosides, nucleotides, and oligonucleotides. The reported structural data on the pair of diastereomeric spiroiminodihydantoin 2'-deoxyribonucleosides 1 and 2 are mostly inferred from extensive (1)H and (13)C NMR analyses including two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect measurements performed in both D(2)O and dimethyl sulfoxide. This approach that has been shown previously to be suitable to assign the stereochemistry of the base moiety of oxidized pyrimidine nucleosides was completed by molecular modeling and quantum mechanics studies. Thus, application of these two complementary approaches together with the consideration of the results of a recent relevant quantum mechanic study has allowed the assignment of the absolute stereoconfiguration of the C-4 carbon of diastereomers 1 and 2. In addition, information is provided on the conformational features of the 2-deoxyribose moiety and the orientation of the base around the N-glycosidic bond of both 2'-deoxyribonucleosides 1 and 2.

Abstract
The electrochemical and chemical oxidation of a series of C8-arylamine adducts of 2'-deoxyguanosine has been examined. The oxidations were found to be reversible by cyclic and square-wave voltammetry in both aqueous buffer and aprotic organic solvent. The mechanism of the oxidation in protic media was either one- or two-electron, depending on the aryl group. The chemical oxidation resulted in guanidinohydantoin and spiroiminodihydantoin rearrangement products similar to those observed for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine.

Abstract
The diastereomeric spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) lesions are oxidation products of guanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) and have generated considerable interest because of their stereochemistry-dependent mutagenic properties in vivo (Henderson, P. T., et al. (2003) Biochemistry 42, 9257-9262). However, the absolute configurations of the two diastereomers have not yet been elucidated, and such information may prove valuable for understanding relationships between biological function and structure at the DNA level (Jia, L., Shafirovich, V., Shapiro, R., Geacintov, N. E., and Broyde, S. (2005) Biochemistry 44, 13342-13353). We have synthesized the two chiral Sp nucleobases by hydrolysis of the nucleosides denoted by dSp1 and dSp2 according to their elution order in HPLC experiments using a Hypercarb column, and determined their absolute configurations using a combination of experimentally measured optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) spectra in aqueous solutions and computed ORD specific rotations using density functional theory (DFT). Recent developments have shown that DFT methods are now sufficiently robust for predicting ORD values of chiral molecules (Polavarapu, P. L. (2002) Chirality 14, 768-781). The nucleobases Sp1 and Sp2 exhibit experimentally measured CD and ORD spectra that are very close to those of the respective precursor nucleosides dSp1 and dSp2 in shape and sign. The first nucleoside stereoisomer (dSp1) to elute from a typical Hypercarb HPLC column has (-)-S, while the second (dSp2) has (+)-R absolute configuration. The R and S assignments are applicable to the amino tautomeric forms in each case.

Abstract
The formation of binary Ni(II) complexes with 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (dGTP, L) as well as ternary complexes thereof with L-histidine (His, A) was studied with the use of potentiometry and electronic absorption spectroscopy. In the binary and ternary systems, the complexes with stoichiometries NiH2L-, NiHL2-, NiL3- and NiH2LA2-, NiHLA3-, NiLA4- respectively, were detected. The ternary complexes are very stable at pH 7.4 and thus may constitute biologically relevant Ni(II) carriers in the cell. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the binary and ternary systems both generate hydroxyl radical-like species and undergo dGTP degradation with the formation of the 8-oxo-dGTP intermediate. The latter, along with dGTP complexation and degradation, may lead to mutagenesis and carcinogenesis due to base-mispairing properties of 8-oxoguanine and the disturbance in the physiological balance among the four canonical triphosphodeoxynucleotide substrates for DNA synthesis.
