Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are abundant DNA lesions arising from spontaneous hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond and as base excision repair (BER) intermediates. AP sites and their derivatives readily trap DNA-bound proteins, resulting in DNA-protein cross-links. Those are subject to proteolysis but the fate of the resulting AP-peptide cross-links (APPXLs) is unclear. Here, we report two in vitro models of APPXLs synthesized by cross-linking of DNA glycosylases Fpg and OGG1 to DNA followed by trypsinolysis. The reaction with Fpg produces a 10-mer peptide cross-linked through its N-terminus, while OGG1 yields a 23-mer peptide attached through an internal lysine. Both adducts strongly blocked Klenow fragment, phage RB69 polymerase, Saccharolobus solfataricus Dpo4, and African swine fever virus PolX. In the residual lesion bypass, mostly dAMP and dGMP were incorporated by Klenow and RB69 polymerases, while Dpo4 and PolX used primer/template misalignment. Of AP endonucleases involved in BER, Escherichia coli endonuclease IV and its yeast homolog Apn1p efficiently hydrolyzed both adducts. In contrast, E. coli exonuclease III and human APE1 showed little activity on APPXL substrates. Our data suggest that APPXLs produced by proteolysis of AP site-trapped proteins may be removed by the BER pathway, at least in bacterial and yeast cells.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major pathway to deal with bulky adducts induced by various environmental toxins in all cellular organisms. The two sub-pathways of NER, global genome repair (GGR) and transcription-coupled repair (TCR), differ in the damage recognition modes. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanism of NER in mammalian cells, especially the details of damage recognition steps in both sub-pathways. We also introduce new sequencing methods for genome-wide mapping of NER, as well as recent advances about NER in chromatin by these methods. Finally, the roles of NER factors in repairing oxidative damages and resolving R-loops are discussed.

Abstract
Product analysis from the iron Fenton oxidation of 2'-deoxyguanosine found reactions in bicarbonate buffer yield 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and spiroiminodihyantoin consistent with CO3˙-. Reactions in phosphate buffer furnished high yields of sugar oxidation products consistent with HO˙. These observations change the view of DNA oxidation products from the iron-Fenton reaction.

Abstract
The base and nucleotide excision repair pathways (BER and NER, respectively) are two major mechanisms that remove DNA lesions formed by the reactions of genotoxic intermediates with cellular DNA. It is generally believed that small non-bulky oxidatively generated DNA base modifications are removed by BER pathways, whereas DNA helix-distorting bulky lesions derived from the attack of chemical carcinogens or UV irradiation are repaired by the NER machinery. However, existing and growing experimental evidence indicates that oxidatively generated DNA lesions can be repaired by competitive BER and NER pathways in human cell extracts and intact human cells. Here, we focus on the interplay and competition of BER and NER pathways in excising oxidatively generated guanine lesions site-specifically positioned in plasmid DNA templates constructed by a gapped-vector technology. These experiments demonstrate a significant enhancement of the NER yields in covalently closed circular DNA plasmids (relative to the same, but linearized form of the same plasmid) harboring certain oxidatively generated guanine lesions. The interplay between the BER and NER pathways that remove oxidatively generated guanine lesions are reviewed and discussed in terms of competitive binding of the BER proteins and the DNA damage-sensing NER factor XPC-RAD23B to these lesions.

Abstract
Dietary exposure to aflatoxins is a significant risk factor in the development of hepatocellular carcinomas. Following bioactivation by microsomal P450s, the reaction of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) with guanine (Gua) in DNA leads to the formation of stable, imidazole ring-opened 8,9-dihydro-8-(2,6-diamino-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrimid-5-yl-formamido)-9-hydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-FapyGua) adducts. In contrast to most base modifications that result in destabilization of the DNA duplex, the AFB1-FapyGua adduct increases the thermal stability of DNA via 5'-interface intercalation and base-stacking interactions. Although it was anticipated that this stabilization might make these lesions difficult to repair relative to helix distorting modifications, prior studies have shown that both the nucleotide and base excision repair pathways participate in the removal of the AFB1-FapyGua adduct. Specifically for base excision repair, we previously showed that the DNA glycosylase NEIL1 excises AFB1-FapyGua and catalyzes strand scission in both synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides and liver DNA of exposed mice. Since it is anticipated that error-prone replication bypass of unrepaired AFB1-FapyGua adducts contributes to cellular transformation and carcinogenesis, the structural and thermodynamic parameters that modulate the efficiencies of these repair pathways are of considerable interest. We hypothesized that the DNA sequence context in which the AFB1-FapyGua adduct is formed might modulate duplex stability and consequently alter the efficiencies of NEIL1-initiated repair. To address this hypothesis, site-specific AFB1-FapyGua adducts were synthesized in three sequence contexts, with the 5' neighbor nucleotide being varied. DNA structural stability analyses were conducted using UV absorbance- and NMR-based melting experiments. These data revealed differentials in thermal stabilities associated with the 5'-neighbor base pair. Single turnover kinetic analyses using the NEIL1 glycosylase demonstrated corresponding sequence-dependent differences in the repair of this adduct, such that there was an inverse correlation between the stabilization of the duplex and the efficiency of NEIL1-mediated catalysis.

Abstract
Human genome stability requires efficient repair of oxidized bases, which is initiated via damage recognition and excision by NEIL1 and other base excision repair (BER) pathway DNA glycosylases (DGs). However, the biological mechanisms underlying detection of damaged bases among the million-fold excess of undamaged bases remain enigmatic. Indeed, mutation rates vary greatly within individual genomes, and lesion recognition by purified DGs in the chromatin context is inefficient. Employing super-resolution microscopy and co-immunoprecipitation assays, we find that acetylated NEIL1 (AcNEIL1), but not its non-acetylated form, is predominantly localized in the nucleus in association with epigenetic marks of uncondensed chromatin. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) revealed non-random AcNEIL1 binding near transcription start sites of weakly transcribed genes and along highly transcribed chromatin domains. Bioinformatic analyses revealed a striking correspondence between AcNEIL1 occupancy along the genome and mutation rates, with AcNEIL1-occupied sites exhibiting fewer mutations compared to AcNEIL1-free domains, both in cancer genomes and in population variation. Intriguingly, from the evolutionarily conserved unstructured domain that targets NEIL1 to open chromatin, its damage surveillance of highly oxidation-susceptible sites to preserve essential gene function and to limit instability and cancer likely originated ∼500 million years ago during the buildup of free atmospheric oxygen.

Abstract
Chemical alterations in DNA induced by genotoxic factors can have a complex nature such as bulky DNA adducts, interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs), and clustered DNA lesions (including double-strand breaks, DSB). Complex DNA damage (CDD) has a complex character/structure as compared to singular lesions like randomly distributed abasic sites, deaminated, alkylated, and oxidized DNA bases. CDD is thought to be critical since they are more challenging to repair than singular lesions. Although CDD naturally constitutes a relatively minor fraction of the overall DNA damage induced by free radicals, DNA cross-linking agents, and ionizing radiation, if left unrepaired, these lesions cause a number of serious consequences, such as gross chromosomal rearrangements and genome instability. If not tightly controlled, the repair of ICLs and clustered bi-stranded oxidized bases via DNA excision repair will either inhibit initial steps of repair or produce persistent chromosomal breaks and consequently be lethal for the cells. Biochemical and genetic evidences indicate that the removal of CDD requires concurrent involvement of a number of distinct DNA repair pathways including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-mediated DNA strand break repair, base excision repair (BER), nucleotide incision repair (NIR), global genome and transcription coupled nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER and TC-NER, respectively), mismatch repair (MMR), homologous recombination (HR), non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) pathways. In this review, we describe the role of DNA glycosylase-mediated BER pathway in the removal of complex DNA lesions.

Abstract
The nucleosome is a stretch of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer. Electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds between histones and DNA are vital for the stable organization of nucleosome core particles, and for the folding of chromatin into more compact structures, which regulate gene expression via controlled access to DNA. As a drawback of tight association, under genotoxic stress, DNA can accidentally cross-link to histone in a covalent manner, generating a highly toxic DNA-histone cross-link (DHC). DHC is a bulky lesion that can impede DNA transcription, replication, and repair, often with lethal consequences. The chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin, as well as ionizing and ultraviolet irradiations and endogenously occurring reactive aldehydes, generate DHCs by forming either stable or transient covalent bonds between DNA and side-chain amino groups of histone lysine residues. The mechanisms of DHC repair start to unravel, and certain common principles of DNA-protein cross-link (DPC) repair mechanisms that participate in the removal of cross-linked histones from DNA have been described. In general, DPC is removed via a two-step repair mechanism. First, cross-linked proteins are degraded by specific DPC proteases or by the proteasome, relieving steric hindrance. Second, the remaining DNA-peptide cross-links are eliminated in various DNA repair pathways. Delineating the molecular mechanisms of DHC repair would help target specific DNA repair proteins for therapeutic intervention to combat tumor resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Abstract
The base and nucleotide excision repair pathways (BER and NER, respectively) are two major mechanisms that remove DNA lesions formed by the reactions of genotoxic intermediates with cellular DNA. We have demonstrated earlier that the oxidatively generated guanine lesions spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) are excised from double-stranded DNA by competing BER and NER in whole-cell extracts [Shafirovich, V., et al. (2016) J. Biol. Chem. 321, 5309-5319]. In this work we compared the NER and BER yields with single Gh or Sp lesions embedded at the same sites in covalently closed circular pUC19NN plasmid DNA (cccDNA) and in the same but linearized form (linDNA) of this plasmid. The kinetics of the Sp and Gh BER and NER incisions were monitored in HeLa cell extracts. The yield of NER products is ∼5 times greater in covalently closed circular DNA than in the linearized form, while the BER yield is smaller by ∼20-30% depending on the guanine lesion. Control BER experiments with 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) show that the BER yield is increased by a factor of only 1.4 ± 0.2 in cccDNA relative to linDNA. These surprising differences in BER and NER activities are discussed in terms of the lack of termini in covalently closed circular DNA and the DNA lesion search dynamics of the NER DNA damage sensor XPC-RAD23B and the BER enzyme OGG1 that recognizes and excises 8-oxoG.

Abstract
The six major mammalian DNA repair pathways were discovered as independent processes, each dedicated to remove specific types of lesions, but the past two decades have brought into focus the significant interplay between these pathways. In particular, several studies have demonstrated that certain proteins of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER) pathways work in a cooperative manner in the removal of oxidative lesions. This review focuses on recent data showing how the NER proteins, XPA, XPC, XPG, CSA, CSB and UV-DDB, work to stimulate known glycosylases involved in the removal of certain forms of base damage resulting from oxidative processes, and also discusses how some oxidative lesions are probably directly repaired through NER. Finally, since many glycosylases are inhibited from working on damage in the context of chromatin, we detail how we believe UV-DDB may be the first responder in altering the structure of damage containing-nucleosomes, allowing access to BER enzymes.

Abstract
Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is constantly challenged by numerous types of obstacles that lead to transcriptional pausing or stalling. These obstacles include DNA lesions, DNA epigenetic modifications, DNA binding proteins, and non-B form DNA structures. In particular, lesion-induced prolonged transcriptional blockage or stalling leads to genome instability, cellular dysfunction, and cell death. Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway is the first line of defense that detects and repairs these transcription-blocking DNA lesions. In this review, we will first summarize the recent research progress toward understanding the molecular basis of transcriptional pausing and stalling by different kinds of obstacles. We will then discuss new insights into Pol II-mediated lesion recognition and the roles of CSB in TC-NER.

Abstract
The DNA glycosylase MutY prevents deleterious mutations resulting from guanine oxidation by recognition and removal of adenine (A) misincorporated opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG). Correct identification of OG:A is crucial to prevent improper and detrimental MutY-mediatedadenine excision from G:A or T:A base pairs. Here we present a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study using analogues of A to probe the basis for OG:A specificity of MutY. We correlate observed in vitro MutY activity on A analogue substrates with their experimental and calculated acidities to provide mechanistic insight into the factors influencing MutY base excision efficiency. These data show that H-bonding and electrostatic interactions of the base within the MutY active site modulate the lability of the N-glycosidic bond. A analogues that were not excised from duplex DNA as efficiently as predicted by calculations provided insight into other required structural features, such as steric fit and H-bonding within the active site for proper alignment with MutY catalytic residues. We also determined MutY-mediated repair of A analogues paired with OG within the context of a DNA plasmid in bacteria. Remarkably, the magnitudes of decreased in vitro MutY excision rates with different A analogue duplexes do not correlate with the impact on overall MutY-mediated repair. The feature that most strongly correlated with facile cellular repair was the ability of the A analogues to H-bond with the Hoogsteen face of OG. Notably, base pairing of A with OG uniquely positions the 2-amino group of OG in the major groove and provides a means to indirectly select only these inappropriately placed adenines for excision. This highlights the importance of OG lesion detection for efficient MutY-mediated cellular repair. The A analogue SARs also highlight the types of modifications tolerated by MutY and will guide the development of specific probes and inhibitors of MutY.

RNA polymerase II stalls on oxidative DNA damage via a torsion-latch mechanism involving lone pair-π and CH-π interactions. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2020; 117:9338-9348.

Abstract
Oxidation of guanine generates several types of DNA lesions, such as 8-oxoguanine (8OG), 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh), and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp). These guanine-derived oxidative DNA lesions interfere with both replication and transcription. However, the molecular mechanism of transcription processing of Gh and Sp remains unknown. In this study, by combining biochemical and structural analysis, we revealed distinct transcriptional processing of these chemically related oxidized lesions: 8OG allows both error-free and error-prone bypass, whereas Gh or Sp causes strong stalling and only allows slow error-prone incorporation of purines. Our structural studies provide snapshots of how polymerase II (Pol II) is stalled by a nonbulky Gh lesion in a stepwise manner, including the initial lesion encounter, ATP binding, ATP incorporation, jammed translocation, and arrested states. We show that while Gh can form hydrogen bonds with adenosine monophosphate (AMP) during incorporation, this base pair hydrogen bonding is not sufficient to hold an ATP substrate in the addition site and is not stable during Pol II translocation after the chemistry step. Intriguingly, we reveal a unique structural reconfiguration of the Gh lesion in which the hydantoin ring rotates ∼90° and is perpendicular to the upstream base pair planes. The perpendicular hydantoin ring of Gh is stabilized by noncanonical lone pair-π and CH-π interactions, as well as hydrogen bonds. As a result, the Gh lesion, as a functional mimic of a 1,2-intrastrand crosslink, occupies canonical -1 and +1 template positions and compromises the loading of the downstream template base. Furthermore, we suggest Gh and Sp lesions are potential targets of transcription-coupled repair.

Abstract
8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, commonly referred to as 8-oxoG, is considered one of the most predominant oxidative lesions formed in DNA. Due to its ability to pair with adenines in its syn configuration, this lesion has a strong mutagenic potential in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Escherichia coli cells are endowed with the GO system, which protects them from the mutagenic properties of this lesion when formed both in cellular DNA and the nucleotide pool. MutY and MutM (Fpg) DNA glycosylases are crucial components of the GO system. A strong mutator phenotype of the Escherichia coli mutM mutY double mutant underscores the importance of 8-oxoG repair for genomic stability. Here, we report that in Caulobacter crescentus, a widely studied alpha-proteobacterium with a GC-rich genome, the combined lack of MutM and MutY glycosylases produces a more modest mutator phenotype when compared to E. coli. Genetic analysis indicates that other glycosylases and other repair pathways do not act synergistically with the GO system for spontaneous mutation prevention. We also show that there is not a statistically significant difference in the spontaneous levels 8-oxodGuo in E. coli and C. crescentus, suggesting that other yet to be identified differences in repair or replication probably account for the differential importance of the GO system between these two species.

Abstract
Living in an oxygen atmosphere demands an ability to thrive in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Aerobic organisms have successfully found solutions to the oxidative threats imposed by ROS by evolving an elaborate detoxification system, upregulating ROS during inflammation, and utilizing ROS as messenger molecules. In this Perspective, recent studies are discussed that demonstrate ROS as signaling molecules for gene regulation by combining two emergent properties of the guanine (G) heterocycle in DNA, namely, oxidation sensitivity and a propensity for G-quadruplex (G4) folding, both of which depend upon sequence context. In human gene promoters, this results from an elevated 5'-GG-3' dinucleotide frequency and GC enrichment near transcription start sites. Oxidation of DNA by ROS drives conversion of G to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) to mark target promoters for base excision repair initiated by OG-glycosylase I (OGG1). Sequence-dependent mechanisms for gene activation are available to OGG1 to induce transcription. Either OGG1 releases OG to yield an abasic site driving formation of a non-canonical fold, such as a G4, to be displayed to apurinic/apyrimidinic 1 (APE1) and stalling on the fold to recruit activating factors, or OGG1 binds OG and facilitates activator protein recruitment. The mechanisms described drive induction of stress response, DNA repair, or estrogen-induced genes, and these pathways are novel potential anticancer targets for therapeutic intervention. Chemical concepts provide a framework to discuss the regulatory or possible epigenetic potential of the OG modification in DNA, in which DNA "damage" and non-canonical folds collaborate to turn on or off gene expression. The next steps for scientific discovery in this growing field are discussed.

Recognition of DNA adducts by edited and unedited forms of DNA glycosylase NEIL1. DNA Repair (Amst) 2019; 85:102741.

Abstract
Pre-mRNA encoding human NEIL1 undergoes editing by adenosine deaminase ADAR1 that converts a single adenosine to inosine, and this conversion results in an amino acid change of lysine 242 to arginine. Previous investigations of the catalytic efficiencies of the two forms of the enzyme revealed differential release of thymine glycol (ThyGly) from synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides, with the unedited form, NEIL1 K242 being ≈30-fold more efficient than the edited NEIL1 K242R. In contrast, when these enzymes were reacted with oligodeoxynucleotides containing guanidinohydantoin or spiroiminohydantoin, the edited K242R form was ≈3-fold more efficient than the unedited NEIL1. However, no prior studies have investigated the efficiencies of these two forms of NEIL1 on either high-molecular weight DNA containing multiple oxidatively-induced base damages, or oligodeoxynucleotides containing a bulky alkylated formamidopyrimidine. To understand the extent of changes in substrate recognition, γ-irradiated calf thymus DNA was treated with either edited or unedited NEIL1 and the released DNA base lesions analyzed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Of all the measured DNA lesions, imidazole ring-opened 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) were preferentially released by both NEIL1 enzymes with K242R being ≈1.3 and 1.2-fold more efficient than K242 on excision of FapyAde and FapyGua, respectively. Consistent with the prior literature, large differences (≈7.5 to 12-fold) were measured in the excision of ThyGly from genomic DNA by the unedited versus edited NEIL1. In contrast, the edited NEIL1 was more efficient (≈3 to 5-fold) on release of 5-hydroxycytosine. Excision kinetics on DNA containing a site-specific aflatoxin B1-FapyGua adduct revealed an ≈1.4-fold higher rate by the unedited NEIL1. Molecular modeling provides insight into these differential substrate specificities. The results of this study and in particular, the comparison of substrate specificities of unedited and edited NEIL1 using biologically and clinically important base lesions, are critical for defining its role in preservation of genomic integrity.

Abstract
Formation of adducts to DNA is of great benefit to DNA sequencing and damage detection technology and to enzymology. Here we describe the synthesis and characterization procedures of 18-crown-6 adducts formed to abasic (AP) sites, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG), and 2'-deoxycytidine (C) residues in DNA oligodeoxynucleotides. These crown ether adducts were used as site-specific modifications to facilitate nanopore technology. The methods described can be readily expanded to attach other suitable primary amines of interest.

Abstract
The relationships between inflammation and cancer are varied and complex. An important connection linking inflammation to cancer development is DNA damage. During inflammation reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are created to combat pathogens and to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, but these chemicals can also damage DNA, which in turn can promote mutations that initiate and promote cancer. DNA repair pathways are essential for preventing DNA damage from causing mutations and cytotoxicity, but RONS can interfere with repair mechanisms, reducing their efficacy. Further, cellular responses to DNA damage, such as damage signaling and cytotoxicity, can promote inflammation, creating a positive feedback loop. Despite coordination of DNA repair and oxidative stress responses, there are nevertheless examples whereby inflammation has been shown to promote mutagenesis, tissue damage, and ultimately carcinogenesis. Here, we discuss the DNA damage-mediated associations between inflammation, mutagenesis and cancer.

Abstract
MUTYH is a base-excision repair glycosylase that removes adenine opposite 8-oxoguanine (OG). Variants of MUTYH defective in functional activity lead to MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP), which progresses to cancer with very high penetrance. Whole genome and whole exome sequencing studies have found MUTYH deficiencies in an increasing number of cancer types. While the canonical OG:A repair activity of MUTYH is well characterized and similar to bacterial MutY, here we review more recent evidence that MUTYH has activities independent of OG:A repair and appear centered on the interdomain connector (IDC) region of MUTYH. We summarize evidence that MUTYH is involved in rapid DNA damage response (DDR) signaling, including PARP activation, 9-1-1 and ATR signaling, and SIRT6 activity. MUTYH alters survival and DDR to a wide variety of DNA damaging agents in a time course that is not consistent with the formation of OG:A mispairs. Studies that suggest MUTYH inhibits the repair of alkyl-DNA damage and cyclopyrimidine dimers (CPDs) is reviewed, and evidence of a synthetic lethal interaction with mismatch repair (MMR) is summarized. Based on these studies we suggest that MUTYH has evolved from an OG:A mispair glycosylase to a multifunctional scaffold for DNA damage response signaling.

Abstract
The interchange between different repair mechanisms in human cells has long been a subject of interest. Here, we provide a direct demonstration that the oxidatively generated guanine lesions spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) embedded in double-stranded DNA are substrates of both base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) mechanisms in intact human cells. Site-specifically modified, 32P-internally labeled double-stranded DNA substrates were transfected into fibroblasts or HeLa cells, and the BER and/or NER mono- and dual incision products were quantitatively recovered after 2-8 h incubation periods and lysis of the cells. DNA duplexes bearing single benzo[ a]pyrene-derived guanine adduct were employed as positive controls of NER. The NER activities, but not the BER activities, were abolished in XPA-/- cells, while the BER yields were strongly reduced in NEIL1-/- cells. Co-transfecting different concentrations of analogous DNA sequences bearing the BER substrates 5-hydroxyuracil diminish the BER yields of Sp lesions and enhance the yields of NER products. These results are consistent with a model based on the local availability of BER and NER factors in human cells and their competitive binding to the same Sp or Gh BER/NER substrates.

Abstract
DNA glycosylases of the base excision repair (BER) pathway are front-line defenders in removing compromising modifications of the DNA nucleobases. Aberrantly modified nucleobases mediate genomic mutations and inhibit DNA replication leading to adverse health consequences such as cancer, neurological diseases, and aging. In an effort to develop high-affinity transition state (TS) analogues as chemical biology probes for DNA glycosylases, oligonucleotides containing a propargyl-modified pyrrolidine TS mimic nucleotide were synthesized. A small library of TS mimic-containing oligonucleotides was generated using a structurally diverse set of five azides via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition "click" chemistry. The relative affinity ( Kd) was evaluated for BER glycosylases Escherichia coli MutY, bacterial formamidopyrimidine glycosylase (Fpg), and human OG glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) with the library of TS mimic DNA duplexes. All of the BER glycosylases were found to exhibit extremely high affinities (approximately picomolar Kd values) for the TS mimics. However, binding preferences, distinct for each glycosylase, for the TS mimic library members were observed, suggesting different modes of binding and transition state stabilization among the three glycosylases. Fpg bound all of the TS mimics with exceptionally high affinities, while the MutY binding affinity correlated inversely with the size of the appended moiety. Of note, we identified one member of the small TS mimic library that exhibited a particularly high affinity for hOGG1. These results strongly support the use of the propargyl-TS mimic oligonucleotides and elaboration via click chemistry in screening and identification of high-affinity ligands for BER glycosylases of interest.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is an essential DNA repair system distinguished from other such systems by its extraordinary versatility. NER removes a wide variety of structurally dissimilar lesions having only their bulkiness in common. NER can also repair several less bulky nucleobase lesions, such as 8-oxoguanine. Thus, how a single DNA repair system distinguishes such a diverse array of structurally divergent lesions from undamaged DNA has been one of the great unsolved mysteries in the field of genome maintenance. Here we employ a synthetic crystallography approach to obtain crystal structures of the pivotal NER enzyme UvrB in complex with duplex DNA, trapped at the stage of lesion-recognition. These structures coupled with biochemical studies suggest that UvrB integrates the ATPase-dependent helicase/translocase and lesion-recognition activities. Our work also conclusively establishes the identity of the lesion-containing strand and provides a compelling insight to how UvrB recognizes a diverse array of DNA lesions.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine(8-oxodGuo) is a common primary product of cellular oxidative DNA damage. 8-OxodGuo is more readily oxidized than 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG); a two-electron oxidation generates a highly reactive intermediate (OGox), which forms covalent adducts with nucleophiles, including OH-, free amines, and the side chains of amino acids such as lysine. We determined here that K3Fe(CN)6 oxidation of 8-oxodGuo in nucleosome core particles (NCPs) produces high yields, quantitative (i.e., 100%) in some cases, of DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs). The efficiency of DPC formation was closely related to 8-oxodGuo base pairing and location within the NCP and was only slightly decreased by adding the DNA-protective polyamine spermine to the system. Using NCPs that contained histone mutants, we determined that DPCs result predominantly from OGox trapping by the N-terminal histone amine. The DPCs were stable under physiological conditions and therefore could have important biological consequences. For instance, the essentially quantitative yield of DPCs at some positions within NCPs would reduce the yield of the mutagenic DNA lesions spiroiminodihydantoin and guanidinohydantoin produced from the common intermediate OGox, which in turn would affect mutation signatures of oxidative stress in a position-dependent manner. In summary, our findings indicate that site-specific incorporation of 8-oxodGuo into NCPs, followed by its oxidation, leads to DPCs with an efficiency depending on 8-oxodGuo location and orientation. Given that 8-oxodGuo formation is widespread in genomic DNA and that DPC formation is highly efficient, DPCs may occur in eukaryotic cells and may affect several important biological processes.

Abstract
In DNA, 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) is susceptible to oxidative modification by reactive oxygen species (ROS) yielding many products, one of which is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (dOG). Interestingly, dOG is stable but much more labile toward oxidation than dG, furnishing 5-guanidinohydantoin-2'-deoxyribose (dGh) that is favored in the duplex context or spiroiminodihydantoin-2'-deoxyribose (dSp) that is favored in the oxidation of single-stranded contexts. Previously, exposure of DNA to ionizing radiation found ∼50% of the dOG exists as a tandem lesion with an adjacent formamide site. The present work explored oxidation of dOG in a tandem lesion with a THF abasic site analog (F) that models the formamide on either the 5' or 3' side. When dOG was in a tandem lesion, both dGh and dSp were observed as oxidation products. The 5' versus 3' side in which F resided influenced the stereochemistry of the dSp formed. Further, tandem lesions with dOG were found to be up to two orders of magnitude more reactive to oxidation than dOG in an intact duplex. When dOG is in a tandem lesion it is up to fivefold more prone to formation of spermine cross-links during oxidation compared to dOG in an intact duplex. Lastly, dOG, dGh, and each dSp diastereomer were synthesized as part of a tandem lesion in a duplex DNA to establish that dOG tandem lesions decrease the thermal stability by 12-13 °C, while dGh or either dSp diastereomer in a tandem lesion decrease the stability by >20 °C. The biological consequences of these results are discussed.

Abstract
In prokaryotic cells, the UvrB protein plays a central role in nucleotide excision repair, which is involved in the recognition of bulky DNA lesions generated by chemical or physical agents. The present investigation aimed to characterize the uvrB gene of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (CpuvrB) and evaluate its involvement in the DNA repair system of this pathogenic organism. In computational analysis, the alignment of the UvrB protein sequences of Escherichia coli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus caldotenax and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis showed high similarity and the catalytic amino acid residues and functional domains are preserved. A CpUvrB model was constructed by comparative modeling and presented structural similarity with the UvrB of E. coli. Moreover, in molecular docking analysis CpUvrB showed favorable interaction with EcUvrA and revealed a preserved ATP incorporation site. Heterologous functional complementation assays using E. coli uvrB-deficient cells exposed to UV irradiation showed that the CpUvrB protein contributed to an increased survival rate in relation to those in the absence of CpUvrB. Damaged oligonucleotides containing thymine dimer or 8-oxoguanine lesion were synthesized and incubated with CpUvrB protein, which was able to recognize and excise UV irradiation damage but not 8-oxoguanine. These results suggest that CpUvrB is involved in repairing lesions derived from UV light and encodes a protein orthologous to EcUvrB.

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
It is generally believed that the mammalian nucleotide excision repair pathway removes DNA helix-distorting bulky DNA lesions, while small non-bulky lesions are repaired by base excision repair (BER). However, recent work demonstrates that the oxidativly generated guanine oxidation products, spiroimininodihydantoin (Sp), 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh), and certain intrastrand cross-linked lesions, are good substrates of NER and BER pathways that compete with one another in human cell extracts. The oxidation of guanine by peroxynitrite is known to generate 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole (NIm) which is structurally similar to Gh, except that the 4-nitro group in NIm is replaced by a keto group in Gh. However, unlike Gh, NIm is an excellent substrate of BER, but not of NER. These and other related results are reviewed and discussed in this article.

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
A variety of endogenous and exogenous agents can induce DNA damage and lead to genomic instability. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), an important class of DNA damaging agents, are constantly generated in cells as a consequence of endogenous metabolism, infection/inflammation, and/or exposure to environmental toxicants. A wide array of DNA lesions can be induced by ROS directly, including single-nucleobase lesions, tandem lesions, and hypochlorous acid (HOCl)/hypobromous acid (HOBr)-derived DNA adducts. ROS can also lead to lipid peroxidation, whose byproducts can also react with DNA to produce exocyclic DNA lesions. A combination of bioanalytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and molecular biology approaches have provided significant insights into the occurrence, repair, and biological consequences of oxidatively induced DNA lesions. The involvement of these lesions in the etiology of human diseases and aging was also investigated in the past several decades, suggesting that the oxidatively induced DNA adducts, especially bulky DNA lesions, may serve as biomarkers for exploring the role of oxidative stress in human diseases. The continuing development and improvement of LC-MS/MS coupled with the stable isotope-dilution method for DNA adduct quantification will further promote research about the clinical implications and diagnostic applications of oxidatively induced DNA adducts.

Abstract
Although the terms "excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS)" and "oxidative stress" are widely used, the implications of oxidative stress are often misunderstood. ROS are not a single species but a variety of compounds, each with unique biochemical properties and abilities to react with biomolecules. ROS cause activation of growth signals through thiol oxidation and may lead to DNA damage at elevated levels. In this review, we first discuss a conceptual framework for the interplay of ROS and antioxidants. This review then describes ROS signaling using FLT3-mediated growth signaling as an example. We then focus on ROS-mediated DNA damage. High concentrations of ROS result in various DNA lesions, including 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine, oxazolone, DNA-protein cross-links, and hydantoins, that have unique biological impacts. Here we delve into the biochemistry of nine well-characterized DNA lesions. Within each lesion, the types of repair mechanisms, the mutations induced, and their effects on transcription and replication are discussed. Finally, this review will discuss biochemically inspired implications for cancer therapy. Several teams have put forward designs to harness the excessive ROS and the burdened DNA repair systems of tumor cells for treating cancer. We discuss inhibition of the antioxidant system, the targeting of DNA repair, and ROS-activated prodrugs.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile pathway that removes helix-distorting DNA lesions from the genomes of organisms across the evolutionary scale, from bacteria to humans. The serial steps in NER involve recognition of lesions, adducts or structures that disrupt the DNA double helix, removal of a short oligonucleotide containing the offending lesion, synthesis of a repair patch copying the opposite undamaged strand, and ligation, to restore the DNA to its original form. Transcription-coupled repair (TCR) is a subpathway of NER dedicated to the repair of lesions that, by virtue of their location on the transcribed strands of active genes, encumber elongation by RNA polymerases. In this review, I report on recent findings that contribute to the elucidation of TCR mechanisms in the bacterium Escherichia coli, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells. I review general models for the biochemical pathways and how and when cells might choose to utilize TCR or other pathways for repair or bypass of transcription-blocking DNA alterations.

Abstract
DNA is constantly under attack by oxidants, generating a variety of potentially mutagenic covalently modified species, including oxidized guanine base products. One such product is spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), a chiral, propeller-shaped lesion that strongly destabilizes the DNA helix in its vicinity. Despite its unusual shape and thermodynamic effect on double-stranded DNA structure, DNA duplexes containing the Sp lesion form stable nucleosomes upon being incubated with histone octamers. Indeed, among six different combinations of lesion location and stereochemistry, only two duplexes display a diminished ability to form nucleosomes, and these only by ∼25%; the other four are statistically indistinguishable from the control. Nonetheless, kinetic factors also play a role: when the histone proteins have less time during assembly of the core particle to sample both lesion-containing and normal DNA strands, they are more likely to bind the Sp lesion DNA than during slower assembly processes that better approximate thermodynamic equilibrium. Using DNase I footprinting and molecular modeling, we discovered that the Sp lesion causes only a small perturbation (±1-2 bp) on the translational position of the DNA within the nucleosome. Each diastereomeric pair of lesions has the same effect on nucleosome positioning, but lesions placed at different locations behave differently, illustrating that the location of the lesion and not its shape serves as the primary determinant of the most stable DNA orientation.

Abstract
The well known biomarker of oxidative stress, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, is more susceptible to further oxidation than the parent guanine base and can be oxidatively transformed to the genotoxic spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) lesions. Incubation of 135-mer duplexes with single Sp or Gh lesions in human cell extracts yields a characteristic nucleotide excision repair (NER)-induced ladder of short dual incision oligonucleotide fragments in addition to base excision repair (BER) incision products. The ladders were not observed when NER was inhibited either by mouse monoclonal antibody (5F12) to human XPA or in XPC(-/-) fibroblast cell extracts. However, normal NER activity appeared when the XPC(-/-) cell extracts were complemented with XPC-RAD23B proteins. The Sp and Gh lesions are excellent substrates of both BER and NER. In contrast, 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole, a product of the oxidation of guanine in DNA by peroxynitrite, is an excellent substrate of BER only. In the case of mouse embryonic fibroblasts, BER of the Sp lesion is strongly reduced in NEIL1(-/-) relative to NEIL1(+/+) extracts. In summary, in human cell extracts, BER and NER activities co-exist and excise Gh and Sp DNA lesions, suggesting that the relative NER/BER product ratios may depend on competitive BER and NER protein binding to these lesions.

Abstract
Defining the biological consequences of oxidative DNA damage remains an important and ongoing area of investigation. At the foundation of understanding the repercussions of such damage is a molecular-level description of the action of DNA-processing enzymes, such as polymerases. In this work, we focus on a secondary, or hyperoxidized, oxidative lesion of dG that is formed by oxidation of the primary oxidative lesion, 2'-deoxy-8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxodG). In particular, we examine incorporation into DNA of the diastereomers of the hyperoxidized guanosine triphosphate lesion spiroiminodihydantoin-2'-deoxynucleoside-5'-triphosphate (dSpTP). Using kinetic parameters, we describe the ability of the Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I lacking 3' → 5' exonuclease activity (KF(-)) to utilize (S)-dSpTP and (R)-dSpTP as building blocks during replication. We find that both diastereomers act as covert lesions, similar to a Trojan horse: KF(-) incorporates the lesion dNTP opposite dC, which is a nonmutagenic event; however, during the subsequent replication, it is known that dSp is nearly 100% mutagenic. Nevertheless, using kpol/Kd to define the nucleotide incorporation specificity, we find that the extent of oxidation of the dGTP-derived lesion correlates with its ability to be incorporated into DNA. KF(-) has the highest specificity for incorporation of dGTP opposite dC. The selection factors for incorporating 8-oxodGTP, (S)-dSpTP, and (R)-dSpTP are 1700-, 64000-, and 850000-fold lower, respectively. Thus, KF(-) is rigorous in its discrimination against incorporation of the hyperoxidized lesion, and these results suggest that the specificity of cellular polymerases provides an effective mechanism to avoid incorporating dSpTP lesions into DNA from the nucleotide pool.

Abstract
Damage to the genome is implicated in the progression of cancer and stress-induced diseases. DNA lesions exist in low levels, and cannot be amplified by standard PCR because they are frequently strong blocks to polymerases. Here, we describe a method for PCR amplification of lesion-containing DNA in which the site and identity could be marked, copied and sequenced. Critical for this method is installation of either the dNaM or d5SICS nucleotides at the lesion site after processing via the base excision repair process. These marker nucleotides constitute an unnatural base pair, allowing large quantities of marked DNA to be made by PCR amplification. Sanger sequencing confirms the potential for this method to locate lesions by marking, amplifying and sequencing a lesion in the KRAS gene. Detection using the α-hemolysin nanopore is also developed to analyse the markers in individual DNA strands with the potential to identify multiple lesions per strand. Genomic DNA lesions exist in low levels and cannot be amplified by standard PCR. Here, Riedl et al. report a method to amplify damaged DNA sites by replacing them via DNA repair with unnatural base pairs, which are subsequently identified by Sanger sequencing or α-hemolysin nanopore sequencing.

Abstract
We designed ROS-activated cytotoxic agents (RACs) that are active against AML cancer cells. In this study, the mechanism of action and synergistic effects against cells coexpressing the AML oncogenes MLL-AF9 fusion and FLT3-ITD were investigated. One RAC (RAC1) had an IC50 value of 1.8±0.3 μm, with ninefold greater selectivity for transformed cells compared to untransformed cells. Treatment induced DNA strand breaks, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. Proteomics and transcriptomics revealed enhanced expression of the pentose phosphate pathway, DNA repair, and pathways common to cell stress. Western blotting confirmed repair by homologous recombination. Importantly, RAC1 treatment was synergistic in combination with multiple pathway-targeting therapies in AML cells but less so in untransformed cells. Together, these results demonstrate that RAC1 can selectively target poor prognosis AML and that it does so by creating DNA double-strand breaks that require homologous recombination.

Abstract
DNA damage is a natural hazard of life. The most common DNA lesions are base, sugar, and single-strand break damage resulting from oxidation, alkylation, deamination, and spontaneous hydrolysis. If left unrepaired, such lesions can become fixed in the genome as permanent mutations. Thus, evolution has led to the creation of several highly conserved, partially redundant pathways to repair or mitigate the effects of DNA base damage. The biochemical mechanisms of these pathways have been well characterized and the impact of this work was recently highlighted by the selection of Tomas Lindahl, Aziz Sancar and Paul Modrich as the recipients of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their seminal work in defining DNA repair pathways. However, how these repair pathways are regulated and interconnected is still being elucidated. This review focuses on the classical base excision repair and strand incision pathways in eukaryotes, considering both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans, and extends to some important questions and challenges facing the field of DNA base damage repair.

Abstract
![]()
The nucleobase guanine in DNA (dG)
and RNA (rG) has the lowest
standard reduction potential of the bases, rendering it a major site
of oxidative damage in these polymers. Mapping the sites at which
oxidation occurs in an oligomer via chemical reagents utilizes hot
piperidine for cleaving oxidized DNA and aniline (pH 4.5) for cleaving
oxidized RNA. In the present studies, a series of time-dependent cleavages
of DNA and RNA strands containing various guanine lesions were examined
to determine the strand scission rate constants. The guanine base
lesions 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), spiroiminodihydantoin
(Sp), 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh), 2,2,4-triamino-2H-oxazol-5-one (Z), and 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin
(2Ih) were evaluated in piperidine-treated DNA and aniline-treated
RNA. These data identified wide variability in the chemical lability
of the lesions studied in both DNA and RNA. Further, the rate constants
for cleaving lesions in RNA were generally found to be significantly
smaller than for lesions in DNA. The OG nucleotides were poorly cleaved
in DNA and RNA; Sp nucleotides were slowly cleaved in DNA and did
not cleave significantly in RNA; Gh and Z nucleotides cleaved in both
DNA and RNA at intermediate rates; and 2Ih oligonucleotides cleaved
relatively quickly in both DNA and RNA. The data are compared and
contrasted with respect to future experimental design.

Abstract
DNA damage under oxidative stress leads to oxidation of guanine base. The identification of the resulting guanine lesions in cellular DNA is difficult due to the sensitivity of the primary oxidation products to hydrolysis and/or further oxidation. We isolated dehydroguanidino-hydantoin (DGh) (or oxidized guanidinohydantoin), a secondary oxidation product of guanine, and showed that this lesion reacts readily with nucleophiles such as asymmetric peroxides and transforms to 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3,5-triazinane-1-carboxamidine residue. Further hydrolysis of this intermediate leads to cyanuric acid and finally to urea residue. This work demonstrates a new possible pathway for the formation of the well-known carboxamidine precursor of cyanuric acid lesion.

Abstract
A quarter of a century has elapsed since the discovery of transcription-coupled repair (TCR), and yet our fascination with this process has not diminished. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile pathway that removes helix-distorting DNA lesions from the genomes of organisms across the evolutionary scale, from bacteria to humans. TCR, defined as a subpathway of NER, is dedicated to the repair of lesions that, by virtue of their location on the transcribed strands of active genes, encumber elongation by RNA polymerases. In this review, we will report on newly identified proteins, protein modifications, and protein complexes that participate in TCR in Escherichia coli and in human cells. We will discuss general models for the biochemical pathways and how and when cells might choose to utilize TCR or other pathways for repair or bypass of transcription-blocking DNA alterations.

Abstract
Cancer genome sequence data provide an invaluable resource for inferring the key mechanisms by which mutations arise in cancer cells, favoring their survival, proliferation and invasiveness. Here we examine recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for the predominant type of genetic alteration found in cancer cells, somatic single base substitutions (SBSs). Cytosine methylation, demethylation and deamination, charge transfer reactions in DNA, DNA replication timing, chromatin status and altered DNA proofreading activities are all now known to contribute to the mechanisms leading to base substitution mutagenesis. We review current hypotheses as to the major processes that give rise to SBSs and evaluate their relative relevance in the light of knowledge acquired from cancer genome sequencing projects and the study of base modifications, DNA repair and lesion bypass. Although gene expression data on APOBEC3B enzymes provide support for a role in cancer mutagenesis through U:G mismatch intermediates, the enzyme preference for single-stranded DNA may limit its activity genome-wide. For SBSs at both CG:CG and YC:GR sites, we outline evidence for a prominent role of damage by charge transfer reactions that follow interactions of the DNA with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other endogenous or exogenous electron-abstracting molecules.

Abstract
Despite three decades of biochemical and structural analysis of the prokaryotic nucleotide excision repair (NER) system, many intriguing questions remain with regard to how the UvrA, UvrB, and UvrC proteins detect, verify and remove a wide range of DNA lesions. Single-molecule techniques have begun to allow more detailed understanding of the kinetics and action mechanism of this complex process. This article reviews how atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy have captured new glimpses of how these proteins work together to mediate NER.

Abstract
The diastereomeric spiroiminodihydantoin-2'-deoxyribonucleoside (dSp) lesions resulting from 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (dOG) oxidation have generated much attention due to their highly mutagenic nature. Their propeller-like shape leads these molecules to display mutational profiles in vivo that are stereochemically dependent. However, there exist conflicting absolute configuration assignments arising from electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and NOESY-NMR experiments; thus, providing definitive assignments of the 3D structure of these molecules is of great interest. In the present body of work, we present data inconsistent with the reported ECD assignments for the dSp diastereomers in the nucleoside context, in which the first eluting isomer from a Hypercarb HPLC column was assigned to be the S configuration, and the second was assigned the R configuration. The following experiments were conducted: (1) determination of the diastereomer ratio of dSp products upon one-electron oxidation of dG in chiral hybrid or propeller G-quadruplexes that expose the re or si face to solvent, respectively; (2) absolute configuration analysis using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy; (3) reinterpretation of the ECD experimental spectra using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with the inclusion of 12 explicit H-bonding waters around the Sp free bases; and (4) reevaluation of calculated specific rotations for the Sp enantiomers using the hydration model in the TDDFT calculations. These new insights provide a fresh look at the absolute configuration assignments of the dSp diastereomers in which the first eluting from a Hypercarb-HPLC column is (-)-(R)-dSp and the second is (+)-(S)-dSp. These assignments now provide the basis for understanding the biological significance of the stereochemical dependence of enzymes that process this form of DNA damage.
