Abstract
Sterilisation technologies are essential to eliminate foodborne pathogens from food contact surfaces. However, most of the current sterilisation methods involve high energy and chemical consumption. In this study, a photodynamic inactivation coating featuring excellent antibacterial activity was prepared by dispersing curcumin as a plant-based photosensitiser in a chitosan solution. The coating generated abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) after light irradiation at 420 nm, which eradicated ≥99.999 % of Escherichia coli O157:H7. It was also found that ROS damaged the cell membrane, leading to the leakage of cell contents and cell shrinkage on the basis of chitosan. In addition, the production of ROS first excited the bacterial antioxidant defence system resulting in the increase of peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). ROS levels exceed its capacity, causing damage to the defence system and further oxidative decomposition of large molecules, such as DNA and proteins, eventually leading to the death of E. coli O157:H7. We also found the curcumin/chitosan coating could effectively remove E. coli O157:H7 biofilms by oxidative of extracellular polysaccharides and proteins. All the contributors made the chitosan/curcumin coating an efficient detergent comparable with HClO.

Abstract
Maintenance of DNA integrity is essential to all forms of life. DNA damage generated by reaction with genotoxic chemicals results in deleterious mutations, genome instability, and cell death. Pathogenic bacteria encounter several genotoxic agents during infection. In keeping with this, the loss of DNA repair networks results in virulence attenuation in several bacterial species. Interstrand DNA crosslinks (ICLs) are a type of DNA lesion formed by covalent linkage of opposing DNA strands and are particularly toxic as they interfere with replication and transcription. Bacteria have evolved specialized DNA glycosylases that unhook ICLs, thereby initiating their repair. In this study, we describe AlkX, a DNA glycosylase encoded by the multidrug resistant pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. AlkX exhibits ICL unhooking activity similar to that of its Escherichia coli homolog YcaQ. Interrogation of the in vivo role of AlkX revealed that its loss sensitizes cells to DNA crosslinking and impairs A. baumannii colonization of the lungs and dissemination to distal tissues during pneumonia. These results suggest that AlkX participates in A. baumannii pathogenesis and protects the bacterium from stress conditions encountered in vivo. Consistent with this, we found that acidic pH, an environment encountered during host colonization, results in A. baumannii DNA damage and that alkX is induced by, and contributes to, defense against acidic conditions. Collectively, these studies reveal functions for a recently described class of proteins encoded in a broad range of pathogenic bacterial species.

Abstract
Several classes of oxidatively generated DNA damage including oxidized purine and pyrimidine bases, interstrand base crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks have been previously shown to be generated in both isolated DNA and cellular DNA upon exposure to either 266 nm laser irradiation or one-electron oxidants. In this study, we provide evidence that biphotonic ionization of guanine bases by UVC laser irradiation of double-stranded deoxyoligonucleotides in aerated aqueous solutions induces the formation of interstrand cross-links (ICLs). This is supported by various experiments including sequencing gel analyses of formed photoproducts and effects of UVC laser intensity on their formation. This constitutes a novel example of the diversity of reactions of guanine radical cation that can be generated by various one-electron oxidants including UVC laser biphotonic ionization, direct effect of ionization radiation and type I photosensitizers. However, the exact structure of the interstrand base adducts that is a challenging analytical issue remains to be further established. Examples of relevant biochemical/structural applications of biphotonic induction of ICLs in DNA samples by high-intensity UVC laser pulses are provided.

Abstract
Interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs) are cytotoxic because they block the strand separation required for read-out and replication of the genetic information in duplex DNA. The unavoidable formation of ICLs in cellular DNA may contribute to aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Here, we describe the formation and properties of a structurally complex ICL derived from an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site, which is one of the most common endogenous lesions in cellular DNA. The results characterize a cross-link arising from aza-Michael addition of the N2-amino group of a guanine residue to the electrophilic sugar remnant generated by spermine-mediated strand cleavage at an AP site in duplex DNA. An α,β-unsaturated iminium ion is the critical intermediate involved in ICL formation. Studies employing the bacteriophage φ29 polymerase provided evidence that this ICL can block critical DNA transactions that require strand separation. The results of biochemical studies suggest that this complex strand break/ICL might be repaired by a simple mechanism in which the 3'-exonuclease action of the enzyme apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) unhooks the cross-link to initiate repair via the single-strand break repair pathway.

Abstract
The formation of interstrand cross-links in duplex DNA is important in biology, medicine, and biotechnology. Interstrand cross-links arising from the reaction of the aldehyde residue of an abasic (apurinic or AP) site with the exocyclic amino groups of guanine or adenine residues on the opposing strand of duplex DNA have previously been characterized. The canonical nucleobase cytosine has an exocyclic amino group but its ability to form interstrand cross-links by reaction with an AP site has not been characterized before now. Here it is shown that substantial yields of interstrand cross-links are generated in sequences having a mispaired cytosine residue located one nucleotide to the 3'-side of the AP site on the opposing strand (e.g., 5'XA/5'CA, where X = AP). Formation of the dC-AP cross-link is pH-dependent, with significantly higher yields at pH 5 than pH 7. Once formed, the dC-AP cross-link is quite stable, showing less than 5% dissociation over the course of 96 h at pH 7 and 37 °C. No significant yields of cross-link are observed when the cytosine residue is paired with its Watson-Crick partner guanine. It was also shown that a single AP site can engage with multiple nucleobase cross-linking partners in some sequences. Specifically, the dG-AP and dC-AP cross-links coexist in dynamic equilibrium in the sequence 5'CXA/5'CAG (X = AP). In this sequence, the dC-AP cross-link dominates. However, in the presence of NaBH3CN, irreversible reduction of small amounts of the dG-AP cross-link present in the mixture shifts the equilibria away from the dC-AP cross-link toward good yields of the dG-APred cross-link.

Abstract
Genome integrity is essential for life and, as a result, DNA repair systems evolved to remove unavoidable DNA lesions from cellular DNA. Many forms of life possess the capacity to remove interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs) from their genome but the identity of the naturally-occurring, endogenous substrates that drove the evolution and retention of these DNA repair systems across a wide range of life forms remains uncertain. In this review, we describe more than a dozen chemical processes by which endogenous ICLs plausibly can be introduced into cellular DNA. The majority involve DNA degradation processes that introduce aldehyde residues into the double helix or reactions of DNA with endogenous low molecular weight aldehyde metabolites. A smaller number of the cross-linking processes involve reactions of DNA radicals generated by oxidation.

Abstract
In this study, the nanocomposite film (SA-CS@CuO/ZnO) composed of sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan (CS) functionalized by copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was fabricated, then its antibacterial mechanisms against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were systematically investigated. When the contents of CuONPs and ZnONPs reached 1.5 % (w/w) and 0.5 % (w/w), respectively, the SA-CS@CuO/ZnO exhibited great mechanical, barrier, and optical properties. Moreover, the incorporation of ZnONPs enhanced the photocatalytic ability of SA-CS@CuO/ZnO, producing a high level of reactive oxygen species under light irradiation. Further, antibacterial results showed that SA-CS@CuO/ZnO treatment inhibited the growth of E. coli and S. aureus higher than 60 % in the dark and exceeded 90 % under light irradiation. This was also manifested in the incompleteness of bacterial cell structure, accompanied by unstable cellular redox balance and DNA disruption. The functions of differentially expressed genes screened by transcriptome analysis were mainly involved in membrane transport, cell wall and membrane synthesis, cellular antioxidant defense system, cell membrane and DNA repair system. The changes in bacterial transcriptional regulation reflected the disturbance in the physiological activities and loss of cell integrity, leading to damage of bacterial cells or death.

Abstract
Abasic (AP) sites are one of the most common forms of DNA damage. The deoxyribose ring of AP sites undergoes anomerization between α and β configurations, via an electrophilic aldehyde intermediate. In sequences where an adenine residue is located on the opposing strand and offset 1 nt to the 3' side of the AP site, the nucleophilic N6-dA amino group can react with the AP aldehyde residue to form an interstrand cross-link (ICL). Here, we present an experimentally determined structure of the dA-AP ICL by NMR spectroscopy. The ICL was constructed in the oligodeoxynucleotide 5'-d(T1A2T3G4T5C6T7A8A9G10T11T12C13A14T15C16T17A18)-3':5'-d(T19A20G21A22T23G24A25A26C27X28T29A30G31A32C33A34T35A36)-3' (X=AP site), with the dA-AP ICL forming between A8 and X28. The NMR spectra indicated an ordered structure for the cross-linked DNA duplex and afforded detailed spectroscopic resonance assignments. Structural refinement, using molecular dynamics calculations restrained by NOE data (rMD), revealed the structure of the ICL. In the dA-AP ICL, the 2'-deoxyribosyl ring of the AP site was ring-closed and in the β configuration. Juxtapositioning the N6-dA amino group and the aldehydic C1 of the AP site within bonding distance while simultaneously maintaining two flanking unpaired A9 and T29 bases stacked within the DNA is accomplished by the unwinding of the DNA at the ICL. The structural data is discussed in the context of recent studies describing the replication-dependent unhooking of the dA-AP ICL by the base excision repair glycosylase NEIL3.

Abstract
The protective ozone layer is continually depleting due to the release of deteriorating environmental pollutants. The diminished ozone layer contributes to excessive exposure of cells to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This leads to various cellular responses utilized to restore the homeostasis of exposed cells. DNA is the primary chromophore of the cells that absorbs sunlight energy. Exposure of genomic DNA to UV light leads to the formation of multitude of types of damage (depending on wavelength and exposure time) that are removed by effectively working repair pathways. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge considering cellular response to UV radiation with special focus on DNA damage and repair and to give a comprehensive insight for new researchers in this field. We also highlight most important future prospects considering application of the progressing knowledge of UV response for the clinical control of diverse pathologies.

Abstract
Efficient methods for the site-specific installation of structurally defined interstrand cross-links in duplex DNA may be useful in a wide variety of fields. The work described here developed a high-yield synthesis of chemically stable interstrand cross-links resulting from a reductive amination reaction between an abasic site and the noncanonical nucleobase 2-aminopurine in duplex DNA. Results from footprinting, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and stability studies support the formation of an N2-alkylamine attachment between the 2-aminopurine residue and the Ap site. The reaction performs best when the 2-aminopurine residue on the opposing strand is offset 1 nt to the 5'-side of the abasic site. The cross-link confers substantial resistance to thermal denaturation (melting). The cross-linking reaction is fast (complete in 4 h), employs only commercially available reagents, and can be used to generate cross-linked duplexes in sufficient quantities for biophysical, structural, and DNA repair studies.

Abstract
UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the initiation phase of skin cancer. When left unrepaired or when damaged cells are not eliminated by apoptosis, DNA lesions express their mutagneic properties, leading to the activation of proto-oncogene or the inactivation of tumor suppression genes. The chemical nature and the amount of DNA damage strongly depend on the wavelength of the incident photons. The most energetic part of the solar spectrum at the Earth's surface (UVB, 280-320 nm) leads to the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (64PPs). Less energetic but 20-times more intense UVA (320-400 nm) also induces the formation of CPDs together with a wide variety of oxidatively generated lesions such as single strand breaks and oxidized bases. Among those, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) is the most frequent since it can be produced by several mechanisms. Data available on the respective yield of DNA photoproducts in cells and skin show that exposure to sunlight mostly induces pyrimidine dimers, which explains the mutational signature found in skin tumors, with lower amounts of 8-oxoGua and strand breaks. The present review aims at describing the basic photochemistry of DNA and discussing the quantitative formation of the different UV-induced DNA lesions reported in the literature. Additional information on mutagenesis, repair and photoprotection is briefly provided.

Abstract
The genomic DNA of eukaryotic cells exists in the form of chromatin, the structure of which controls the biochemical accessibility of the underlying DNA to effector proteins. In order to gain an in depth molecular understanding of how chromatin structure regulates DNA repair, detailed in vitro biochemical and biophysical studies are required. However, because of challenges associated with reconstituting nucleosome arrays containing site-specifically positioned DNA modifications, such studies have been limited to the use of mono- and dinucleosomes as model in vitro substrates, which are incapable of folding into native chromatin structures. To address this issue, we developed a straightforward and general approach for assembling chemically defined oligonucleosome arrays (i.e., designer chromatin) containing site-specifically modified DNA. Our method takes advantage of nicking endonucleases to excise short fragments of unmodified DNA, which are subsequently replaced with synthetic oligonucleotides containing the desired modification. Using this approach, we prepared several oligonucleosome substrates containing precisely positioned 2'-deoxyuridine (dU) residues and examined the efficiency of base excision repair (BER) within several distinct chromatin architectures. We show that, depending on the translational position of the lesion, the combined catalytic activities of uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) can be either inhibited by as much as 20-fold or accelerated by more than 5-fold within compact chromatin (i.e., the 30 nm fiber) relative to naked DNA. Moreover, we demonstrate that digestion of dU by UDG/APE1 proceeds much more rapidly in mononucleosomes than in compacted nucleosome arrays, thereby providing the first direct evidence that internucleosome interactions play an important role in regulating BER within higher-order chromatin structures. Overall, this work highlights the value of performing detailed biochemical studies on precisely modified chromatin substrates in vitro and provides a robust platform for investigating DNA modifications in chromatin biology.

Abstract
Interstrand cross-links are exceptionally bioactive DNA lesions. Endogenous generation of interstrand cross-links in genomic DNA may contribute to aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Abasic (Ap) sites are common lesions in genomic DNA that readily undergo spontaneous and amine-catalyzed strand cleavage reactions that generate a 2,3-didehydro-2,3-dideoxyribose sugar remnant (3’ddR5p) at the 3’-terminus of the strand break. Interestingly, this strand scission process leaves an electrophilic α,β-unsaturated aldehyde residue embedded within the resulting nicked duplex. Here we present evidence that 3’ddR5p derivatives generated by spermine-catalyzed strand cleavage at Ap sites in duplex DNA can react with adenine residues on the opposing strand to generate a complex lesion consisting of an interstrand cross-link adjacent to a strand break. The cross-link blocks DNA replication by ϕ29 DNA polymerase, a highly processive polymerase enzyme that couples synthesis with strand displacement. This suggests that 3’ddR5p-derived cross-links have the potential to block critical cellular DNA transactions that require strand separation. LC-MS/MS methods developed herein provide powerful tools for studying the occurrence and properties of these cross-links in biochemical and biological systems.

Abstract
Oxidatively-generated interstrand cross-links rank among the most deleterious DNA lesions. They originate from abasic sites, whose aldehyde group can form a covalent adduct after condensation with the exocyclic amino group of purines, sometimes with remarkably high yields. We use explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations to unravel the structures and mechanical properties of two DNA sequences containing an interstrand cross-link. Our simulations palliate the absence of experimental structural and stiffness information for such DNA lesions and provide an unprecedented insight into the DNA embedding of lesions that represent a major challenge for DNA replication, transcription and gene regulation by preventing strand separation. Our results based on quantum chemical calculations also suggest that the embedding of the ICL within the duplex can tune the reaction profile, and hence can be responsible for the high difference in yields of formation.

Abstract
In this review article, emphasis is placed on the critical survey of available data concerning modified nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose products that have been identified in cellular DNA following exposure to a wide variety of oxidizing species and agents including, hydroxyl radical, one-electron oxidants, singlet oxygen, hypochlorous acid and ten-eleven translocation enzymes. In addition, information is provided about the generation of secondary oxidation products of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine and nucleobase addition products with reactive aldehydes arising from the decomposition of lipid peroxides. It is worth noting that the different classes of oxidatively generated DNA damage that consist of single lesions, intra- and interstrand cross-links were unambiguously assigned and quantitatively detected on the basis of accurate measurements involving in most cases high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The reported data clearly show that the frequency of DNA lesions generated upon severe oxidizing conditions, including exposure to ionizing radiation is low, at best a few modifications per 106 normal bases. Application of accurate analytical measurement methods has also allowed the determination of repair kinetics of several well-defined lesions in cellular DNA that however concerns so far only a restricted number of cases.

Abstract
Interstrand DNA-DNA cross-links are highly toxic lesions that are important in medicinal chemistry, toxicology, and endogenous biology. In current models of replication-dependent repair, stalling of a replication fork activates the Fanconi anemia pathway and cross-links are "unhooked" by the action of structure-specific endonucleases such as XPF-ERCC1 that make incisions flanking the cross-link. This process generates a double-strand break, which must be subsequently repaired by homologous recombination. Recent work provided evidence for a new, incision-independent unhooking mechanism involving intrusion of a base excision repair (BER) enzyme, NEIL3, into the world of cross-link repair. The evidence suggests that the glycosylase action of NEIL3 unhooks interstrand cross-links derived from an abasic site or the psoralen derivative trioxsalen. If the incision-independent NEIL3 pathway is blocked, repair reverts to the incision-dependent route. In light of the new model invoking participation of NEIL3 in cross-link repair, we consider the possibility that various BER glycosylases or other DNA-processing enzymes might participate in the unhooking of chemically diverse interstrand DNA cross-links.

Abstract
Nitrogen mustard anticancer drugs generate highly reactive aziridinium ions that alkylate DNA. Monoadducts arising from reaction with position N7 of guanine residues are the major DNA adducts generated by these agents. Interstrand cross-links in which the drug bridges position N7 of two guanine residues are formed in low yields relative to those of the monoadducts but are generally thought to be central to medicinal activity. The N7-alkylguanine residues generated by nitrogen mustards are depurinated to yield abasic (Ap) sites in duplex DNA. Here, we show that Ap sites generated by the nitrogen mustard mechlorethamine lead to interstrand cross-links of a type not previously associated with this drug. Gel electrophoretic data were consistent with early evolution of the expected drug-bridged cross-links, followed by the appearance of Ap-derived cross-links. The evidence is further consistent with a reaction pathway involving alkylation of a guanine residue in a 5'-GT sequence, followed by depurination to generate the Ap site, and cross-link formation via reaction of the Ap aldehyde residue with the opposing adenine residue at this site [Price, N. E., Johnson, K. M., Wang, J., Fekry, M. I., Wang, Y., and Gates, K. S. (2014) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 136, 3483-3490]. The monofunctional DNA-alkylating agents 2-chloro-N,N-diethylethanamine 5, (2-chloroethyl)ethylsulfide 6, and natural product leinamycin similarly were found to induce the formation of Ap-derived cross-links in duplex DNA. This work provides the first characterization of Ap-derived cross-links at sequences in which a cytosine residue is located directly opposing the Ap site. Cross-linking processes of this type could be relevant in medicine and biology because Ap sites with directly opposing cytosine residues occur frequently in genomic DNA via spontaneous or enzymatic depurination of guanine and N7-alkylguanine residues.

Abstract
DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are cytotoxic DNA lesions derived from reactions of DNA with a number of anti-cancer reagents as well as endogenous bifunctional electrophiles. Deciphering the DNA repair mechanisms of ICLs is important for understanding the toxicity of DNA cross-linking agents and for developing effective chemotherapies. Previous research has focused on ICLs cross-linked with the N7 and N2 atoms of guanine as well as those formed at the N6 atom of adenine; however, little is known about the mutagenicity of O6-dG-derived ICLs. Although less abundant, O6-alkylated guanine DNA lesions are chemically stable and highly mutagenic. Here, O6-2'-deoxyguanosine-butylene-O6-2'-deoxyguanosine (O6-dG-C4-O6-dG) is designed as a chemically stable ICL, which can be induced by the action of bifunctional alkylating agents. We investigate the DNA replication-blocking and mutagenic properties of O6-dG-C4-O6-dG ICLs during an important step in ICL repair, translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). The model replicative DNA polymerase (pol) Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 DNA polymerase B1 (Dpo1) is able to incorporate a correct nucleotide opposite the cross-linked template guanine of ICLs with low efficiency and fidelity but cannot extend beyond the ICLs. Translesion synthesis by human pol κ is completely inhibited by O6-dG-C4-O6-dG ICLs. Moderate bypass activities are observed for human pol η and S. solfataricus P2 DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4). Among the pols tested, pol η exhibits the highest bypass activity; however, 70% of the bypass products are mutagenic containing substitutions or deletions. The increase in the size of unhooked repair intermediates elevates the frequency of deletion mutation. Lastly, the importance of pol η in O6-dG-derived ICL bypass is demonstrated using whole cell extracts of Xeroderma pigmentosum variant patient cells and those complemented with pol η. Together, this study provides the first set of biochemical evidence for the mutagenicity of O6-dG-derived ICLs.

Abstract
5'-(2-Phosphoryl-1,4-dioxobutane) (DOB) is an oxidized abasic site that is produced by several antitumor agents and γ-radiolysis. DOB reacts reversibly with a dA opposite the 3'-adjacent nucleotide to form DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs), genotoxic DNA lesions that can block DNA replication and transcription. Translesion synthesis (TLS) is an important step in several ICL repair pathways to bypass unhooked intermediates generated by endonucleolytic incision. The instability of DOB-ICLs has made it difficult to learn about their TLS-mediated repair capability and mutagenic potential. We recently developed a method for chemically synthesizing oligonucleotides containing a modified DOB-ICL analogue. Herein, we examined the capabilities of several highly relevant eukaryotic TLS DNA polymerases (pols), including human pol η, pol κ, pol ι, pol ν, REV1, and yeast pol ζ, to bypass this DOB-ICL analogue. The prelesion, translesion, and postlesion replication efficiency and fidelity were examined. Pol η showed moderate bypass activity when encountering the DOB-ICL, giving major products one or two nucleotides beyond the cross-linked template nucleotide. In contrast, DNA synthesis by the other pols was stalled at the position before the cross-linked nucleotide. Steady-state kinetic data and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry sequencing of primer extension products by pol η unambiguously revealed that pol η-mediated bypass is highly error-prone. Together, our study provides the first set of in vitro evidence that the DOB-ICL is a replication-blocking and highly miscoding lesion. Compared to several other TLS pols examined, pol η is likely to contribute to the TLS-mediated repair of the DOB-ICL in vivo.

Abstract
C4'-oxidized (C4-AP) and C5'-oxidized abasic sites (DOB) that are produced following abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the DNA backbone reversibly form cross-links selectively with dA opposite a 3'-adjacent nucleotide, despite the comparable proximity of an opposing dA. A previous report on UvrABC incision of DNA substrates containing stabilized analogues of the ICLs derived from C4-AP and DOB also indicated that the latter is repaired more readily by nucleotide excision repair [Ghosh, S., and Greenberg, M. M. (2014) Biochemistry 53, 5958-5965]. The source for selective cross-link formation was probed by comparing the reactivity of ICL analogues of C4-AP and DOB that mimic the preferred and disfavored cross-links with that of reagents that indirectly detect distortion by reacting with the nucleobases. The disfavored C4-AP and DOB analogues were each more reactive than the corresponding preferred cross-link substrates, suggesting that the latter are more stable, which is consistent with selective ICL formation. In addition, the preferred DOB analogue is more reactive than the respective C4-AP ICL, which is consistent with its more efficient incision by UvrABC. The conclusions drawn from the chemical probing experiments are corroborated by UV melting studies. The preferred ICLs exhibit melting temperatures higher than those of the corresponding disfavored isomers. These studies suggest that oxidized abasic sites form reversible interstrand cross-links with dA opposite the 3'-adjacent thymidine because these products are more stable and the thermodynamic preference is reflected in the transition states for their formation.

Abstract
C5'-Hydrogen atoms are frequently abstracted during DNA oxidation. The oxidized abasic lesion 5'-(2-phosphoryl-1,4-dioxobutane) (DOB) is an electrophilic product of the C5'-radical. DOB is a potent irreversible inhibitor of DNA polymerase β, and forms interstrand cross-links in free DNA. We examined the reactivity of DOB within nucleosomes and nucleosome core particles (NCPs), the monomeric component of chromatin. Depending upon the position at which DOB is generated within a NCP, it is excised from nucleosomal DNA at a rate 275-1500-fold faster than that in free DNA. The half-life of DOB (7.0-16.8 min) in NCPs is shorter than any other abasic lesion. DOB's lifetime in NCPs is also significantly shorter than the estimated lifetime of an abasic site within a cell, suggesting that the observed chemistry would occur intracellularly. Histones also catalyze DOB excision when the lesion is present in the DNA linker region of a nucleosome. Schiff-base formation between DOB and histone proteins is detected in nucleosomes and NCPs, resulting in pyrrolone formation at the lysine residues. The lysines modified by DOB are often post-translationally modified. Consequently, the histone modifications described herein could affect the regulation of gene expression and may provide a chemical basis for the cytotoxicity of the DNA damaging agents that produce this lesion.

Abstract
We evaluated the efficacy of bioconjugation of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing 1,4-dicarbonyl groups, a C4'-oxidized abasic site (OAS), and a newly designed 2'-methoxy analogue, via reductive amination with lysine residues. Dicarbonyls, aldehyde and ketone at C1- and C4-positions of deoxyribose in the ring-opened form of OAS allowed efficient reaction with amines. Kinetic studies indicated that reductive amination of OAS-containing ODNs with a proximal amine on the complementary strand proceeded 10 times faster than the corresponding reaction of an ODN containing an abasic site with C1-aldehyde. Efficient reductive amination between the DNA-binding domain of Escherichia coli DnaA protein and ODNs carrying OAS in the DnaA-binding sequence proceeded at the lysine residue in proximity to the phosphate group at the 5'-position of the OAS, in contrast to unsuccessful conjugation with abasic site ODNs, even though they have similar aldehydes. Theoretical calculation indicated that the C1-aldehyde of OAS was more accessible to the target lysine than that of the abasic site. These results demonstrate the potential utility of cross-linking strategies that use dicarbonyl-containing ODNs for the study of protein-nucleic acid interactions. Conjugation with a lysine-containing peptide that lacked specific affinity for ODN was also successful, further highlighting the advantages of 1,4-dicarbonyls.

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.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair is a primary pathway in cells for coping with DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). Recently, C4'-oxidized (C4-AP) and C5'-oxidized abasic sites (DOB) that are produced following hydrogen atom abstraction from the DNA backbone were found to produce ICLs. Because some of the ICLs derived from C4-AP and DOB are too unstable to characterize in biochemical processes, chemically stable analogues were synthesized [Ghosh, S., and Greenberg, M. M. (2014) J. Org. Chem. 79, 5948-5957]. UvrABC incision of DNA substrates containing stabilized analogues of the ICLs derived from C4-AP and DOB was examined. The incision pattern for the ICL related to the C4'-oxidized abasic site was typical for UvrABC substrates. UvrABC cleaved both strands of the substrate containing the C4-AP ICL analogue, but it was a poor substrate. UvrABC incised <30% of the C4-AP ICL analogue over an 8 h period, raising the possibility that this cross-link will be inefficiently repaired in cells. Furthermore, double-strand breaks were not detected upon incision of an internally labeled hairpin substrate containing the C4-AP ICL analogue. UvrABC incised the stabilized analogue of the DOB ICL more efficiently (~20% in 1 h). Furthermore, the incision pattern was unique, and the cross-linked substrate was converted into a single product, a double-strand break. The template strand was exclusively incised on the template strand on the 3'-side of the cross-linked dA. Although the outcomes of the interaction between UvrABC and these two cross-linked substrates are different from one another, they provide additional examples of how seemingly simple lesions (C4-AP and DOB) can potentially exert significant deleterious effects on biochemical processes.

Abstract
DNA interstrand cross-links are an important family of DNA damage that block replication and transcription. Recently, it was discovered that oxidized abasic sites react with the opposing strand of DNA to produce interstrand cross-links. Some of the cross-links between 2'-deoxyadenosine and the oxidized abasic sites, 5'-(2-phosphoryl-1,4-dioxobutane) (DOB) and the C4-hydroxylated abasic site (C4-AP), are formed reversibly. Chemical instability hinders biochemical, structural, and physicochemical characterization of these cross-linked duplexes. To overcome these limitations, we developed methods for preparing stabilized analogues of DOB and C4-AP cross-links via solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. Oligonucleotides of any sequence are attainable by synthesizing phosphoramidites in which the hydroxyl groups of the cross-linked product were orthogonally protected using photochemically labile and hydrazine labile groups. Selective unmasking of a single hydroxyl group precedes solid-phase synthesis of one arm of the cross-linked DNA. The method is compatible with commercially available phosphoramidites and other oligonucleotide synthesis reagents. Cross-linked duplexes containing as many as 54 nt were synthesized on solid-phase supports. Subsequent enzyme ligation of one cross-link product provided a 60 bp duplex, which is suitable for nucleotide excision repair studies.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (OH) and one-electron oxidants that may be endogenously formed through oxidative metabolism, phagocytosis, inflammation and pathological conditions constitute the main sources of oxidatively generated damage to cellular DNA. It is worth mentioning that exposure of cells to exogenous physical agents (UV light, high intensity UV laser, ionizing radiation) and chemicals may also induce oxidatively generated damage to DNA. Emphasis is placed in this short review article on the mechanistic aspects of OH and one-electron oxidant-mediated formation of single and more complex damage (tandem lesions, intra- and interstrand cross-links, DNA-protein cross-links) in cellular DNA arising from one radical hit. This concerns DNA modifications that have been accurately measured using suitable analytical methods such as high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Evidence is provided that OH and one-electron oxidants after generating neutral radicals and base radical cations respectively may partly induce common degradation pathways. In addition, selective oxidative reactions giving rise to specific degradation products of OH and one-electron oxidation reactions that can be used as representative biomarkers of these oxidants have been identified.

Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic and oxidized abasic sites are chemically reactive DNA lesions that are produced by a variety of damaging agents. The effects of these molecules that lack a Watson-Crick base on polymerase enzymes are well documented. More recently, multiple consequences of the electrophilic nature of abasic lesions have been revealed. Members of this family of DNA lesions have been shown to inactivate repair enzymes and undergo spontaneous transformation into more deleterious forms of damage. Abasic site reactivity provides insight into the chemical basis for the cytotoxicity of DNA damaging agents that produce them and are valuable examples of how looking beneath the surface of seemingly simple molecules can reveal biologically relevant chemical complexity.

Abstract
The loss of a coding nucleobase from the structure of DNA is a common event that generates an abasic (Ap) site (1). Ap sites exist as an equilibrating mixture of a cyclic hemiacetal and a ring-opened aldehyde. Aldehydes are electrophilic functional groups that can form covalent adducts with nucleophilic sites in DNA. Thus, Ap sites present a potentially reactive aldehyde as part of the internal structure of DNA. Here we report evidence that the aldehyde group of Ap sites in duplex DNA can form a covalent adduct with the N(6)-amino group of adenine residues on the opposing strand. The resulting interstrand DNA-DNA cross-link occurs at 5'-ApT/5'-AA sequences in remarkably high yields (15-70%) under physiologically relevant conditions. This naturally occurring DNA-templated reaction has the potential to generate cross-links in the genetic material of living cells.

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
The C4'-oxidized abasic site is produced in DNA by a variety of oxidizing agents, including potent cytotoxic antitumor agents. Independent generation of this alkali-labile lesion at defined positions within nucleosome core particles reveals that the histone proteins increase strand scission between 130- and 550-fold. Strand scission proceeds via a Schiff base intermediate, but the DNA-protein cross-links are unstable. The oxidized abasic site is removed in its entirety from the DNA and transferred to the lysine-rich tail region of the proximal histone protein in the form of a lactam. The modification is distributed over several residues within the amino-terminal tail of the proximal histone. Transfer of DNA damage to histones could affect gene regulation.

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
We recently reported that the aldehyde residue of an abasic (Ap) site in duplex DNA can generate an interstrand cross-link via reaction with a guanine residue on the opposing strand. This finding is intriguing because the highly deleterious nature of interstrand cross-links suggests that even small amounts of Ap-derived cross-links could make a significant contribution to the biological consequences stemming from the generation of Ap sites in cellular DNA. Incubation of 21-bp duplexes containing a central 5'-CAp sequence under conditions of reductive amination (NaCNBH(3), pH 5.2) generated much higher yields of cross-linked DNA than reported previously. At pH 7, in the absence of reducing agents, these Ap-containing duplexes also produced cross-linked duplexes that were readily detected on denaturing polyacrylamide gels. Cross-link formation was not highly sensitive to reaction conditions, and the cross-link, once formed, was stable to a variety of workup conditions. Results of multiple experiments including MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, gel mobility, methoxyamine capping of the Ap aldehyde, inosine-for-guanine replacement, hydroxyl radical footprinting, and LC-MS/MS were consistent with a cross-linking mechanism involving reversible reaction of the Ap aldehyde residue with the N(2)-amino group of the opposing guanine residue in 5'-CAp sequences to generate hemiaminal, imine, or cyclic hemiaminal cross-links (7-10) that were irreversibly converted under conditions of reductive amination (NaCNBH(3)/pH 5.2) to a stable amine linkage. Further support for the importance of the exocyclic N(2)-amino group in this reaction was provided by an experiment showing that installation of a 2-aminopurine-thymine base pair at the cross-linking site produced high yields (15-30%) of a cross-linked duplex at neutral pH, in the absence of NaCNBH(3).

Abstract
An oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) containing a 2',2'-difluorinated analogue of a C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4'-OAS) was designed for the amine modification of biomolecules that interact with nucleic acids. In contrast to the parent C4'-OAS, which yielded amine-modified products accompanied by DNA strand scission, the ODN containing the difluoro C4'-OAS efficiently yielded products carrying ODNs. The amine modification proceeded without additional reagents being required and might be applicable to reactions in biological systems.

DNA damage by C1027 involves hydrogen atom abstraction and addition to nucleobases. Bioorg Med Chem 2012; 20:4744-50. [PMID: 22748380 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2012.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2012] [Revised: 05/30/2012] [Accepted: 06/01/2012] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
C1027 is a potent antitumor agent that damages DNA. It has the unusual ability to produce double strand breaks and interstrand cross-links (ICLs) intracellularly, which enable it to initiate concurrent ataxia-telangiestasia mutated (ATM) and Rad-3 related (ATR) independent damage responses. The latter form of damage is not well characterized. We have examined the effect of DNA sequence on C1027 reactivity and found it to be more diverse than previously thought. In addition, analysis of the chemical stability of ICLs suggests that they result from reaction with the deoxyribose ring on one strand but direct addition to a nucleobase on the opposite strand.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest for oxidatively generated complex lesions that are potentially more detrimental than single oxidized nucleobases. In this survey, the recently available information on the formation and processing of several classes of complex DNA damage formed upon one radical hit including mostly hydroxyl radical and one-electron oxidants is critically reviewed. The modifications include tandem base lesions, DNA-protein cross-links and intrastrand (purine 5',8-cyclonucleosides, adjacent base cross-links) and interstrand cross-links. Information is also provided on clustered lesions produced essentially by exposure of cells to ionizing radiation and high energetic heavy ions through the involvement of multiple radical events that induce several lesions DNA in a close spatial vicinity. These consist mainly of double strand breaks (DSBs) and non-DSB clustered lesions that are referred as to oxidatively generated clustered DNA lesions (OCDLs).

Abstract
Thiols play a major role in the outcome of oxidative damage to DNA when it is initiated through cellular exposure to ionizing radiation. DNA radicals formed under aerobic conditions are converted to peroxyl radicals through trapping by oxygen at a diffusion-controlled rate. As a primary source of cellular reductant, thiols are responsible for the conversion of these DNA-derived peroxyl radicals to their corresponding hydrogen peroxides and subsequent strand breaks. Through the use of modified nucleotides, which act as precursors to nucleic acid radicals, we have investigated the effect of varying amounts of the cellular thiol glutathione (GSH) on the distribution of damage products produced from a 2-deoxyribose radical in DNA: the C3'-thymidinyl radical. The C3'-thymidinyl radical results from the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the C3'-position of DNA oligomers at a thymidine residue, and is known to deliver several DNA damage lesions including the 3'-phosphoglycolaldehyde, 3'-phosphoglycolate and a 5'-aldehyde. Here we show that the level of GSH present has an impact on the level of production of these C3'-thymidinyl radical derived damage products.

Abstract
A broad scientific community is involved in investigations aimed at delineating the mechanisms of formation and cellular processing of oxidatively generated damage to nucleic acids. Perhaps as a consequence of this breadth of research expertise, there are nomenclature problems for several of the oxidized bases including 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua), a ubiquitous marker of almost every type of oxidative stress in cells. Efforts to standardize the nomenclature and abbreviations of the main DNA degradation products that arise from oxidative pathways are reported. Information is also provided on the main oxidative radicals, non-radical oxygen species, one-electron agents and enzymes involved in DNA degradation pathways as well in their targets and reactivity. A brief classification of oxidatively generated damage to DNA that may involve single modifications, tandem base modifications, intrastrand and interstrand cross-links together with DNA-protein cross-links and base adducts arising from the addition of lipid peroxides breakdown products is also included.

Abstract
The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) forms two types of interstrand cross-links with the adjacent nucleotides in DNA. Previous experiments revealed that dG does not react with the lesion and that formation of one type of cross-link is catalyzed by the opposing dA. iso-Guanosine·dC and 2-aminopurine·dT base pairs were used to determine why dG does not cross-link with C4-AP despite its well known reactivity with other bis-electrophiles. 7-Deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine was used to probe the role of the nucleotide opposite C4-AP in the catalysis of interstrand cross-link formation.

Abstract
Oligodeoxynucleotides incorporating a reactive functionality can cause irreversible cross-linking to the target sequence and have been widely studied for their potential in inhibition of gene expression or development of diagnostic probes for gene analysis. Reactive oligonucleotides further show potential in a supramolecular context for the construction of nanometer-sized DNA-based objects. Inspired by the cytochrome P450 catalyzed transformation of furan into a reactive enal species, we recently introduced a furan-oxidation-based methodology for cross-linking of nucleic acids. Previous experiments using a simple acyclic building block equipped with a furan moiety for incorporation into oligodeoxynucleotides have shown that cross-linking occurs in a very fast and efficient way and that substantial amounts of stable, site-selectively cross-linked species can be isolated. Given the destabilization of duplexes observed upon introduction of the initially designed furan-modified building block into DNA duplexes, we explore here the potential benefits of two new building blocks featuring an extended aromatic system and a restored cyclic backbone. Thorough experimental analysis of cross-linking reactions in a series of contexts, combined with theoretical calculations, permit structural characterization of the formed species and allow assessment of the origin of the enhanced cross-link selectivity. Our experiments clearly show that the modular nature of the furan-modified building blocks used in the current cross-linking strategy allow for fine tuning of both yield and selectivity of the interstrand cross-linking reaction.

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
5'-(2-Phosphoryl-1,4-dioxobutane) (DOB) is an oxidized abasic lesion that is produced by a variety of DNA damaging agents, including several antitumor antibiotics. DOB efficiently and irreversibly inhibits DNA polymerase β, an essential base excision repair enzyme in mammalian cells. The generality of this mode of inhibition by DOB is supported by the inactivation of DNA polymerase λ, which may serve as a possible backup for DNA polymerase β during abasic site repair. Protein digests suggest that Lys72 and Lys84, which are present in the lyase active site of DNA polymerase β, are modified by DOB. Monoaldehyde analogues of DOB substantiate the importance of the 1,4-dicarbonyl component of DOB for efficient inactivation of Pol β and the contribution of a freely diffusible electrophile liberated from the inhibitor by the enzyme. Inhibition of DNA polymerase β's lyase function is accompanied by inactivation of its DNA polymerase activity as well, which prevents long patch base excision repair of DOB. Overall, DOB is highly refractory to short patch and long patch base excision repair. Its recalcitrance to succumb to repair suggests that DOB is a significant source of the cytotoxicity of DNA damaging agents that produce it.

Abstract
Search for the formation of oxidatively base damage in cellular DNA has been a matter of debate for more than 40 years due to the lack of accurate methods for the measurement of the lesions. HPLC associated with either tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) or electrochemical detector (ECD) together with optimized DNA extraction conditions constitutes a relevant analytical approach. This has allowed the accurate measurement of oxidatively generated single and clustered base damage in cellular DNA following exposure to acute oxidative stress conditions mediated by ionizing radiation, UVA light and one-electron oxidants. In this review the formation of 11 single base lesions that is accounted for by reactions of singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical or high intensity UVC laser pulses with nucleobases is discussed on the basis of the mechanisms available from model studies. In addition several clustered lesions were found to be generated in cellular DNA as the result of one initial radical hit on either a vicinal base or the 2-deoxyribose. Information on nucleobase modifications that are formed upon addition of reactive aldehydes arising from the breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides is also provided.
