Ability of the Putative Decomposition Products of 2,3-dioxetanes of Indoles to Photosensitize Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimer (CPD) Formation and its Implications for the "Dark" (Chemisensitized) Pathway to CPDs in Melanocytes †.

Abstract
The formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) by a "dark" pathway in melanocytes has been attributed to chemisensitization by dioxetanes produced from peroxynitrite oxidation of melanin or melanin precursors. These dioxetanes are proposed to decompose to triplet state compounds which sensitize CPD formation by triplet-triplet energy transfer. To determine whether such compounds are capable of sensitizing CPD formation, the putative decomposition products of 2,3-dioxetanes of variously substituted indoles were synthesized and their triplet state energies determined at 77 K. Their ability to photosensitize CPD formation was determined by an enzyme-coupled gel electrophoresis assay in comparison with norfloxacin (NFX) which has the lowest triplet energy known to sensitize CPD formation. The decomposition products of 2,3-dioxetanes of 5-hydroxy and 5,6-dimethoxy indoles used as models for melanin precursors had lower triplet energies and were incapable of photosensitizing CPD formation. Theoretical calculations suggest that the decomposition products of the 2,3-dioxetanes of melanin precursors DHI and DHICA will have similarly low triplet energies. Decomposition products of the 2,3-dioxetanes of indoles lacking oxygen substituents had higher triplet energies than NFX and were capable of photosensitizing CPD formation, suggesting that peroxynitrite oxidation of tryptophan could play a hitherto unrecognized role in the dark pathway to CPDs.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide variation (SNV) detection plays significant roles in disease diagnosis and treatment. Generally, auxiliary probe, restricted design rules, complicated detection system, and repeated experimental parameter optimization are needed to obtain satisfactory tradeoff between sensitivity and selectivity for SNV discrimination, especially when different mutant sites need to be distinguished. To overcome these limitations, we developed a universal, straightforward, and relatively cheap SNV discrimination strategy, which simultaneously possessed high sensitivity and selectivity. The excellent performance of this strategy was ascribed to the SNV discrimination property of endonuclease IV (Endo IV) and the different hydrolysis behavior between free deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) and the trapped DNAzyme to the substrates modified on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). When Endo IV recognized the mutant-type target (MT), free DNAzyme was released from the probe, and the DNAzyme motor was activated with the help of cofactor Mn2+ to generate an amplified fluorescence signal. On the contrary, the wild-type target (WT) could not effectively trigger the DNAzyme motor. Moreover, for different SNV types, the corresponding probe could be designed by simply changing the sequence hybridized with the target and retaining the DNAzyme sequence. Thus, the fluorescence signal generation system does not need to change for different SNV targets. Five clinical-related SNVs were determined with the limit of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.01 to 0.05%, which exhibited competitive sensitivity over existing SNV detection methods. This strategy provided another insight into the properties of Endo IV and DNAzyme, expanded the applications of DNAzyme motor, and has great potential to be used for precision medicine.

Abstract
DNA damage and epigenetic marks are well established to have profound influences on genome stability and cell phenotype, yet there are few technologies to obtain high-resolution genomic maps of the many types of chemical modifications of DNA. Here we present Nick-seq for quantitative, sensitive, and accurate mapping of DNA modifications at single-nucleotide resolution across genomes. Pre-existing breaks are first blocked and DNA modifications are then converted enzymatically or chemically to strand-breaks for both 3'-extension by nick-translation to produce nuclease-resistant oligonucleotides and 3'-terminal transferase tailing. Following library preparation and next generation sequencing, the complementary datasets are mined with a custom workflow to increase sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the map. The utility of Nick-seq is demonstrated with genomic maps of site-specific endonuclease strand-breaks in purified DNA from Eschericia coli, phosphorothioate epigenetics in Salmonella enterica Cerro 87, and oxidation-induced abasic sites in DNA from E. coli treated with a sublethal dose of hydrogen peroxide. Nick-seq applicability is demonstrated with strategies for >25 types of DNA modification and damage.

Abstract
Endonuclease IV (EndoIV) is a DNA damage-specific endonuclease that mainly hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond located at 5' of an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site in DNA. EndoIV also possesses 3'-exonuclease activity for removing 3'-blocking groups and normal nucleotides. Here, we report that Thermococcus eurythermalis EndoIV (TeuendoIV) shows AP endonuclease and 3'-exonuclease activities. The effect of AP site structures, positions and clustered patterns on the activity was characterized. The AP endonuclease activity of TeuendoIV can incise DNA 5' to various AP site analogues, including the alkane chain Spacer and polyethylene glycol Spacer. However, the short Spacer C2 strongly inhibits the AP endonuclease activity. The kinetic parameters also support its preference to various AP site analogues. In addition, the efficient cleavage at AP sites requires ≥2 normal nucleotides existing at the 5'-terminus. The 3'-exonuclease activity of TeuendoIV can remove one or more consecutive AP sites at the 3'-terminus. Mutations on the residues for substrate recognition show that binding AP site-containing or complementary strand plays a key role for the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds. Our results provide a comprehensive biochemical characterization of the cleavage/removal of AP site analogues and some insight for repairing AP sites in hyperthermophile cells.

Abstract
An abasic (AP) site is a ubiquitous DNA lesion that is produced via several cellular processes. Although AP sites are cytotoxic and mutagenic, cells are protected from them by different DNA damage tolerance and repair pathways, including base excision repair (BER). AP lesions are alkali-labile, but the half-life for strand scission is several weeks in free DNA at around neutral pH. The AP lifetime is reduced ∼100-fold in nucleosome core particles (NCPs) because the histone proteins promote strand scission. The reactivity of other DNA lesions to BER enzymes and exogenous reagents is highly dependent upon rotational positioning within the NCP. We examined strand scission at AP sites as a function of rotational position over approximately one helical turn of DNA. The rate constant for strand scission at AP varies ∼4-fold, a range of reactivity much smaller than that observed for processes that involve reaction with diffusible reagents in solution. In addition, the change in rate constant does not exhibit an obvious pattern with respect to rotational position. The small dependence of reactivity on rotational position is attributed to interactions with histone proteins. A molecular model based upon NCP X-ray crystal structures indicates that histone protein tails access AP sites via the major or minor groove and are therefore not limited to regions where one particular groove is exposed to solvent. Determining the roles of individual proteins is difficult because of the unstructured nature of the histone tails and the chemical mechanism, which involves reversible Schiff base formation, followed by irreversible elimination.

Abstract
Oxidatively induced DNA damage is caused in living organisms by endogenous and exogenous reactive species. DNA lesions resulting from this type of damage are mutagenic and cytotoxic and, if not repaired, can cause genetic instability that may lead to disease processes including carcinogenesis. Living organisms possess DNA repair mechanisms that include a variety of pathways to repair multiple DNA lesions. Mutations and polymorphisms also occur in DNA repair genes adversely affecting DNA repair systems. Cancer tissues overexpress DNA repair proteins and thus develop greater DNA repair capacity than normal tissues. Increased DNA repair in tumors that removes DNA lesions before they become toxic is a major mechanism for development of resistance to therapy, affecting patient survival. Accumulated evidence suggests that DNA repair capacity may be a predictive biomarker for patient response to therapy. Thus, knowledge of DNA protein expressions in normal and cancerous tissues may help predict and guide development of treatments and yield the best therapeutic response. DNA repair proteins constitute targets for inhibitors to overcome the resistance of tumors to therapy. Inhibitors of DNA repair for combination therapy or as single agents for monotherapy may help selectively kill tumors, potentially leading to personalized therapy. Numerous inhibitors have been developed and are being tested in clinical trials. The efficacy of some inhibitors in therapy has been demonstrated in patients. Further development of inhibitors of DNA repair proteins is globally underway to help eradicate cancer.

Direct observation of preferential processing of clustered abasic DNA damages with APE1 in TATA box and CpG island by reaction kinetics and fluorescence dynamics. Mutat Res 2014; 766-767:56-65.

Abstract
Sequences like the core element of TATA box and CpG island are frequently encountered in the genome and related to transcription. The fate of repair of clustered abasic sites in such sequences of genomic importance is largely unknown. This prompted us to investigate the sequence dependence of cleavage efficiency of APE1 enzyme at abasic sites within the core sequences of TATA box and CpG island using fluorescence dynamics and reaction kinetics. Simultaneous molecular dynamics study through steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy using unique ethidium bromide dye release assay confirmed an elevated amount of abasic site cleavage of the TATA box sequence as compared to the core CpG island. Reaction kinetics showed that catalytic efficiency of APE1 for abasic site cleavage of core CpG island sequence was ∼4 times lower as compared to that of the TATA box. Higher value of Km was obtained from the core CpG island sequence than the TATA box sequence. This suggests a greater binding effect of APE1 enzyme on TATA sequence that signifies a prominent role of the sequence context of the DNA substrate. Evidently, a faster response from APE1 was obtained for clustered abasic damage repair of TATA box core sequences than CpG island consensus sequences. The neighboring bases of the abasic sites in the complementary DNA strand were found to have significant contribution in addition to the flanking bases in modulating APE1 activity. The repair refractivity of the bistranded clustered abasic sites arise from the slow processing of the second abasic site, consequently resulting in decreased overall production of potentially lethal double strand breaks.

Abstract
Abasic lesions are a family of DNA modifications that lack Watson-Crick bases. The parent member of this family, the apurinic/apyrimidinic lesion (AP), occurs as an intermediate during DNA repair, following nucleobase alkylation, and from random hydrolysis of native nucleotides. In a given day, each cell produces between 10000 and 50000 AP lesions. A variety of oxidants including γ-radiolysis produce oxidized abasic sites, such as C4-AP, from the deoxyribose backbone. A number of potent, cytotoxic antitumor agents, such as bleomycin and the enediynes (e.g., calicheamicin, esperamicin, and neocarzinostatin) also lead to oxidized abasic sites in DNA. The absence of Watson-Crick bases prevents DNA polymerases from properly determining which nucleotide to incorporate opposite abasic lesions. Consequently, several studies have revealed that (oxidized) abasic sites are highly mutagenic. Abasic lesions are also chemically unstable, are prone to strand scission, and possess electrophilic carbonyl groups. However, researchers have only uncovered the consequences of the inherent reactivity of these electrophiles within the past decade. The development of solid phase synthesis methods for oligonucleotides that both place abasic sites in defined positions and circumvent their inherent alkaline lability has facilitated this research. Chemically synthesized oligonucleotides containing abasic lesions provide substrates that have allowed researchers to discover a range of interesting chemical properties of potential biological importance. For instance, abasic lesions form DNA-DNA interstrand cross-links, a particularly important family of DNA damage because they block replication and transcription absolutely. In addition, bacterial repair enzymes can convert an interstrand cross-link derived from C4-AP into a double-strand break, the most deleterious form of DNA damage. Oxidized abasic lesions can also inhibit DNA repair enzymes that remove damaged nucleotides. DNA polymerase β, an enzyme that is irreversibly inactivated, is vitally important in base excision repair and is overproduced in some tumor cells. Nucleosome core particles, the monomeric components that make up chromatin, accentuate the chemical instability of abasic lesions. In experiments using synthetic nucleosome core particles containing abasic sites, the histone proteins catalyze strand cleavage at the sites that incorporate these lesions. Furthermore, in the presence of the C4-AP lesion, strand scission is accompanied by modification of the histone protein. The reactivity of (oxidized) abasic lesions illustrates how seemingly simple nucleic acid modifications can have significant biochemical effects and may provide a chemical basis for the cytotoxicity of the chemotherapeutic agents that produce them.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) plays a vital role in maintaining genomic integrity in mammalian cells. DNA polymerase λ (Pol λ) is believed to play a backup role to DNA polymerase β (Pol β) in base excision repair. Two oxidized abasic lesions that are produced by a variety of DNA-damaging agents, including several antitumor antibiotics, the C4'-oxidized abasic site following Ape1 incision (pC4-AP), and 5'-(2-phosphoryl-1,4-dioxobutane) (DOB), irreversibly inactivate Pol β and Pol λ. The interactions of DOB and pC4-AP with Pol λ are examined in detail using DNA substrates containing these lesions at defined sites. Single-turnover kinetic experiments show that Pol λ excises DOB almost 13 times more slowly than a 5'-phosphorylated 2-deoxyribose (dRP). pC4-AP is excised approximately twice as fast as DOB. The absolute rate constants are considerably slower than those reported for Pol β for the respective reactions, suggesting that Pol λ may be an inefficient backup in BER. DOB inactivates Pol λ approximately 3-fold less efficiently than it does Pol β, and the difference can be attributed to a higher K(I) (33 ± 7 nM). Inactivation of Pol λ's lyase activity by DOB also prevents the enzyme from conducting polymerization following preincubation of the protein and DNA. Mass spectral analysis of GluC-digested Pol λ inactivated by DOB shows that Lys324 is modified. There is inferential support for the idea that Lys312 may also be modified. Both residues are within the Pol λ lyase active site. When acting on pC4-AP, Pol λ achieves approximately four turnovers on average before being inactivated. Lyase inactivation by pC4-AP is also accompanied by loss of polymerase activity, and mass spectrometry indicates that Lys312 and Lys324 are modified by the lesion. The ability of DOB and pC4-AP to inactivate Pol λ provides additional evidence that these lesions are significant sources of the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents that produce them.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates that RNA oxidation is correlated with a number of age-related neurodegenerative diseases, and RNA oxidation has also been shown to induce dysfunction in protein synthesis. Here we study in vitro RNA oxidation catalyzed by cytochrome c (cyt c)/H(2)O(2) or by the Fe(II)/ascorbate/H(2)O(2) system. Our results reveal that the products of RNA oxidation vary with the oxidant used. Guanosine residues are preferentially oxidized by cyt c/H(2)O(2) relative to the Fe(II)/ascorbate/H(2)O(2) system. GC/MS and LC/MS analyses demonstrated that the guanine base was not only oxidized but also depurinated to form an abasic sugar moiety. Results from gel electrophoresis and HPLC analyses show that RNA formed a cross-linked complex with cyt c in an H(2)O(2) concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, when cyt c was associated with liposomes composed of cardiolipin/phosphatidylcholine, and incubated with RNA and H(2)O(2), it was found cross-linked with the oxidized RNA and dissociated from the liposome. Results of the quantitative analysis indicate that the release of the cyt c from the liposome is facilitated by the formation of an RNA-cyt c cross-linked complex. Thus, RNA oxidation may facilitate the release of cyt c from the mitochondrial membrane to induce apoptosis in response to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated endogenously during respiration or exogenously by genotoxic agents, induce oxidized bases and single-strand breaks (SSBs) in DNA that are repaired via the base excision/SSB repair (BER/SSBR) pathway in both the nucleus and mitochondria. Tightly regulated BER/SSBR with multiple sub-pathways is highly complex, and is linked to the replication and transcription. The repair-initiating DNA glycosylases (DGs) or AP-endonuclease (APE1) control the sub-pathway by stably interacting with downstream proteins usually via their common interacting domain (CID). A nonconserved CID with disordered structure usually located at one of the termini includes the sequences for covalent modifications and/or organelle targeting. While the DGs are individually dispensable, the SSBR-initiating APE1 and polynucleotide kinase 3' phosphatase (PNKP) are essential. BER/SSBR of mammalian nuclear and mitochondrial genomes share the same early enzymes. Accumulation of oxidative damage in nuclear and mitochondrial genomes has been implicated in aging and various neurological disorders. While defects in BER/SSBR proteins have been linked to hereditary neurodegenerative diseases, our recent studies implicated transition metal-induced inhibition of NEIL family DGs in sporadic diseases. This review focuses on the recent advances in repair of oxidatively damages in mammalian genomes and their linkage to aging and neurological disorders.

Abstract
The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP), which is produced by a variety of damaging agents, has significant consequences for DNA. The lesion is highly mutagenic and reactive, resulting in interstrand cross-links. The base excision repair of DNA containing independently generated C4-AP was examined. C4-AP is incised by Ape1 ~12-fold less efficiently than an apurinic/apyrimidinic lesion. DNA polymerase β induces the β-elimination of incised C4-AP in ternary complexes, duplexes, and single-stranded substrate. However, excision from a ternary complex is most rapid. In addition, the lesion inactivates the enzyme after approximately seven turnovers on average by reacting with one or more lysine residues in the lyase active site. Unlike 5'-(2-phosphoryl-1,4-dioxobutane), which very efficiently irreversibly inhibits DNA polymerase β, the lesion is readily removed by strand displacement synthesis conducted by the polymerase in conjunction with flap endonuclease 1. DNA repair inhibition by C4-AP may be a partial cause of the cytotoxicity of drugs that produce this lesion.

Abstract
The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) is a commonly formed DNA lesion, which generates two types of interstrand cross-links (ICLs). The kinetically favored cross-link consists of two full length strands and forms reversibly and exclusively with dA. Cross-link formation is attributed to condensation of C4-AP with the N6-amino group of dA. Formation of the thermodynamic ICL involves cleavage of the strand containing C4-AP on the 3'-side of the lesion. The ratios and yields of the ICLs are highly dependent upon the local sequence. Product analysis of enzyme-digested material reveals that the ICL with dA is a cyclic adduct. Formation of the thermodynamically favored cross-link is catalyzed by the surrounding DNA sequence and occurs favorably with dC and dA but not with dG or dT. Mechanistic studies indicate that beta-elimination from C4-AP is the rate-limiting step in the formation of the thermodynamic ICL and that the local DNA environment determines the rate constant for this reaction. The efficiency of ICL formation, the stability of the thermodynamic products, and their possible formation in cells (Regelus, P.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2007, 104, 14032) suggest that these lesions will be deleterious to the biological system in which they are produced.

Abstract
DNA sequence context has emerged as a critical determinant of the location and quantity of nucleobase damage caused by many oxidizing agents. However, the complexity of nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose damage caused by strong oxidants such as ionizing radiation and the Fenton chemistry of Fe2+-EDTA/H2O2 poses a challenge to defining the location of nucleobase damage and the effects of sequence context on damage chemistry in DNA. To address this problem, we developed a gel-based method that allows quantification of nucleobase damage in oxidized DNA by exploiting Escherichia coli exonuclease III to remove fragments containing direct strand breaks and abasic sites. The rigor of the method was verified in studies of guanine oxidation by photooxidized riboflavin and nitrosoperoxycarbonate, for which different effects of sequence context have been demonstrated by other approaches (Margolin, Y., Cloutier, J. F., Shafirovich, V., Geacintov, N. E., and Dedon, P. C. (2006) Nat. Chem. Biol. 2, 365-366). Using duplex oligodeoxynucleotides containing all possible three-nucleotide sequence contexts for guanine, the method was used to assess the role of DNA sequence context in hydroxyl radical-induced guanine oxidation associated with gamma-radiation and Fe2+-EDTA/H2O2. The results revealed both differences and similarities for G oxidation by hydroxyl radicals and by one-electron oxidation by riboflavin-mediated photooxidation, which is consistent with the predominance of oxidation pathways for hydroxyl radicals other than one-electron oxidation to form guanine radical cations. Although the relative quantities of G oxidation produced by hydroxyl radicals were more weakly correlated with sequence-specific ionization potential than G oxidation produced by riboflavin, damage produced by both hydroxyl radical generators and riboflavin within two- and three-base runs of G showed biases in location that are consistent with a role for electron transfer in defining the location of the damage products. Furthermore, both gamma-radiation and Fe2+-EDTA/H2O2 showed relatively modest effects of sequence context on the proportions of different damage products sensitive to E. coli formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase and hot piperidine, although GT-containing sequence contexts displayed subtle biases in damage chemistry (formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase/piperidine ratio). Overall, the results are consistent with the known chemistry of guanine oxidation by hydroxyl radical and demonstrate that charge migration plays a relatively minor role in determining the location and chemistry of hydroxyl radical-mediated oxidative damage to guanine in DNA.

Abstract
DNA tandem lesions are comprised of two contiguously damaged nucleotides. This subset of clustered lesions is produced by a variety of oxidizing agents, including ionizing radiation. Clustered lesions can inhibit base excision repair (BER). We report the effects of tandem lesions composed of a thymine glycol and a 5'-adjacent 2-deoxyribonolactone (LTg) or tetrahydrofuran abasic site (FTg). Some BER enzymes that act on the respective isolated lesions do not accept the tandem lesion as a substrate. For instance, endonuclease III (Nth) does not excise thymine glycol (Tg) when it is part of either tandem lesion. Similarly, endonuclease IV (Nfo) does not incise L or F when they are in tandem with Tg. Long-patch BER overcomes inhibition by the tandem lesion. DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta) carries out strand displacement synthesis, following APE1 incision of the abasic site. Pol beta activity is enhanced by flap endonuclease (FEN1), which cleaves the resulting flap. The tandem lesion is also incised by the bacterial nucleotide excision repair system UvrABC with almost the same efficiency as an isolated Tg. These data reveal two solutions that DNA repair systems can use to counteract the formation of tandem lesions.

Abstract
Endonuclease IV has AP endonuclease and 3'-repair diesterase activities. Here, we report Chlamydophila pneumoniae endonuclease IV (CpEndoIV) could hydrolyze the ds DNA and the RNA strand of RNA/DNA hybrid from the 3' end, yet the DNA strand of RNA/DNA hybrid was not the effective substrate of CpEndoIV. The optimal pH for 3' exonuclease on double-stranded (ds) DNA and RNA/DNA hybrids were both basic, but with some difference. The effect of divalent ions (Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Ni(2+), and Mn(2+)) on 3' exonuclease was different for both substrates. High concentration of NaCl inhibited 3' exonuclease on both substrates. For both substrates, the 3' exonuclease activity of CpEndoIV on matched and mismatched 3' end was comparable.

Abstract
[Structure: see text] We synthesized oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN, 3), which contains 4'-o-nitrobenzyloxythymidine (4) as a caged precursor of C4'-oxidized abasic site (1). Photoirradiation of 3 at 365 nm followed by amine treatment under neutral conditions afforded the lactam (2) efficiently. Duplexed ODN 3 was converted to 1 faster and more efficiently than single stranded 3, whereas amine treatment of 1 formed from single stranded 3 resulted in slightly faster lactam formation than with the duplex.

Abstract
DNA damage is a double-edged sword. The modifications produced in the biopolymer are associated with aging, and give rise to a variety of diseases, including cancer. DNA is also the target of anti-tumor agents and the most generally used nonsurgical treatment of cancer, ionizing radiation. Agents that damage DNA produce a variety of radicals. Elucidating the chemistry of individual DNA radicals is challenging due to the availability of multiple reactive pathways and complexities inherent with carrying out mechanistic studies on a heterogeneous polymer. The ability to independently generate radicals and their metastable products at defined sites in DNA has greatly facilitated understanding this biologically important chemistry.

Abstract
The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) is produced by a variety of DNA damaging agents. This alkali labile lesion can exist in up to four diastereomeric cyclic forms, in addition to the acyclic keto-aldehyde. Synthetic oligonucleotides containing the lesion were prepared from a stable photochemical precursor. Chemical integrity of the lesion containing oligonucleotides was probed using phosphodiesterase lability. Analysis of the 3',5'-phosphate diester of the monomeric lesion released from single diastereomers of photolabile precursors by 1H NMR indicates that isomerization of the hemiacetal and/or hemiketal is rapid. The syntheses and characterization of oligonucleotides containing configurationally stable analogues of C4-AP, which serve as mechanistic probes for deciphering the structural basis of the biochemical and biological effects of the C4'-oxidized abasic lesion, are also described.

Abstract
Mature biofilm and planktonic cells of Streptococcus mutans cultured in a neutral pH environment were subjected to comparative proteome analysis. Of the 242 protein spots identified, 48 were significantly altered in their level of expression (P<0.050) or were unique to planktonic or biofilm-grown cells. Among these were four hypothetical proteins as well as proteins known to be associated with the maintenance of competence or found to possess a cin-box-like element upstream of their coding gene. Most notable among the non-responsive genes were those encoding the molecular chaperones DnaK, GroEL and GroES, which are considered to be up-regulated by sessile growth. Analysis of the rest of the proteome indicated that a number of cellular functions associated with carbon uptake and cell division were down-regulated. The data obtained were consistent with the hypothesis that a reduction in the general growth rate of mature biofilms of S. mutans in a neutral pH environment is associated with the maintenance of transformation without the concomitant stress response observed during the transient state of competence in bacterial batch cultures.

Abstract
2-Deoxyribonolactone (L) and 2-deoxyribose (AP) are abasic sites that are produced by ionizing radiation, reactive oxygen species and a variety of DNA damaging agents. The biological processing of the AP site has been examined in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, nothing is known about how L is processed in this organism. We determined the bypass and mutagenic specificity of DNA containing an abasic site (AP and L) or the AP analog tetrahydrofuran (F) using an oligonucleotide transformation assay. The tetrahydrofuran analog and L were bypassed at 10-fold higher frequencies than the AP lesions. Bypass frequencies of lesions were greatly reduced in the absence of Rev1 or Polζ (rev3 mutant), but were only marginally reduced in the absence of Polη (rad30 mutant). Deoxycytidine was the preferred nucleotide inserted opposite an AP site whereas dA and dC were inserted at equal frequencies opposite F and L sites. In the rev1 and rev3 strains, dA was the predominant nucleotide inserted opposite these lesions. Overall, we conclude that both Rev1 and Polζ are required for the efficient bypass of abasic sites in yeast.

Abstract
Endonuclease IV gene, the only putative AP endonuclease of C. pneumoniae genome, was cloned into pET28a. Recombinant C. pneumoniae endonuclease I V (CpEndoIV) was expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. CpEndoIV has endonuclease activity against apurinic/apyrimidinic sites (AP sites) of double-stranded (ds) oligonucleotides. AP endonuclease activity of CpEndoIV was promoted by divalent metal ions Mg2+ and Zn2+, and inhibited by EDTA. The natural (A, T, C and G) and modified (U, I and 8-oxo-G (GO)) bases opposite AP site had little effect on the cleavage efficiency of AP site of ds oligonucleotides by CpEndoIV. However, the CpEndoIV-dependent cleavage of AP site opposite modified base GO was strongly inhibited by Chlamydia DNA glycosylase MutY. Interestingly, the AP site in single-stranded (ss) oligonucleotides was also the effective substrate of CpEndoIV. Similar to E. coli endonuclease IV, AP endonuclease activity of CpEndoIV was also heat-stable to some extent, with a half time of 5 min at 60 degrees C.

Abstract
Oxidized abasic sites are a major form of DNA damage induced by free radical attack and deoxyribose oxidation. 2-Deoxyribonolactone (dL) is a C1'-oxidized abasic site implicated in DNA strand breakage, mutagenesis, and formation of covalent DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) with repair enzymes such as DNA polymerase beta (polbeta). We show here that mammalian cell-free extracts incubated with Ape1-incised dL substrates under non-repair conditions give rise to DPCs, with a major species dependent on the presence of polbeta. DPC formation was much less under repair than non-repair conditions, with extracts of either polbeta-proficient or -deficient cells. Partial base excision DNA repair (BER) reconstituted with purified enzymes demonstrated that Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) efficiently excises a displaced oligonucleotide containing a 5'-terminal dL residue, as would be produced during long-patch (multinucleotide) BER. Simultaneous monitoring of dL repair and dL-mediated DPC formation demonstrated that removal of the dL residue through the combined action of strand-displacement DNA synthesis by polbeta and excision by FEN1 markedly diminished DPC formation with the polymerase. Analysis of the patch size distribution associated with DNA repair synthesis in cell-free extracts showed that the processing of dL residues is associated with the synthesis of >or=2 nucleotides, compared with predominantly single nucleotide replacement for regular abasic sites. Our observations reveal a cellular repair process for dL lesions that avoids formation of DPCs that would threaten the integrity of DNA and perhaps cell viability.

Abstract
Copper-phenanthroline complexes oxidatively damage and cleave nucleic acids. Copper bis-phenanthroline and copper complexes of mono- and bis-phenanthroline conjugates are used as research tools for studying nucleic acid structure and binding interactions. The mechanism of DNA oxidation and cleavage by these complexes was examined using two copper-phenanthroline conjugates of the sequence-specific binding molecule, distamycin. The complexes contained either one or two phenanthroline units that were bonded to the DNA-binding domain through a linker via the 3-position of the copper ligand. A duplex containing independently generated 2-deoxyribonolactone facilitated kinetic analysis of DNA cleavage. Oxidation rate constants were highly dependent upon the ligand environment but rate constants describing elimination of the alkali-labile 2-deoxyribonolactone intermediate were not. Rate constants describing DNA cleavage induced by each molecule were 11-54 times larger than the respective oxidation rate constants. The experiments indicate that DNA cleavage resulting from beta-elimination of 2-deoxyribonolactone by copper-phenanthroline complexes is a general mechanism utilized by this family of molecules. In addition, the experiments confirm that DNA damage mediated by mono- and bis-phenanthroline copper complexes proceeds through distinct species, albeit with similar outcomes.

Abstract
Free radical attack on the sugar-phosphate backbone generates oxidized apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) residues in DNA. 2'-deoxyribonolactone (dL) is a C1'-oxidized AP site damage generated by UV and gamma-irradiation, and certain anticancer drugs. If not repaired dL produces G-->A transitions in Escherichia coli. In the base excision repair (BER) pathway, AP endonucleases are the major enzymes responsible for 5'-incision of the regular AP site (dR) and dL. DNA glycosylases with associated AP lyase activity can also efficiently cleave regular AP sites. Here, we report that dL is a substrate for AP endonucleases but not for DNA glycosylases/AP lyases. The kinetic parameters of the dL-incision were similar to those of the dR. DNA glycosylases such as E. coli formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase, mismatch-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase, and human alkylpurine-DNA N-glycosylase bind strongly to dL without cleaving it. We show that dL cross-links with the human proteins 8-oxoguanine-DNA (hOGG1) and thymine glycol-DNA glycosylases (hNth1), and dR cross-links with Nth and hNth1. These results suggest that dL and dR induced genotoxicity might be strengthened by BER pathway in vivo.
