Incorporation of N7-Platinated Guanines into Thermus Aquaticus (Taq) DNA Polymerase: Atomistic Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:9849. [PMID: 37372996 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24129849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, we elucidated some key aspects of the mechanism of action of the cisplatin anticancer drug, cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2], involving direct interactions with free nucleotides. A comprehensive in silico molecular modeling analysis was conducted to compare the interactions of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase with three distinct N7-platinated deoxyguanosine triphosphates: [Pt(dien)(N7-dGTP)] (1), cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl(N7-dGTP)] (2), and cis-[Pt(NH3)2(H2O)(N7-dGTP)] (3) {dien = diethylenetriamine; dGTP = 5'-(2'-deoxy)-guanosine-triphosphate}, using canonical dGTP as a reference, in the presence of DNA. The goal was to elucidate the binding site interactions between Taq DNA polymerase and the tested nucleotide derivatives, providing valuable atomistic insights. Unbiased molecular dynamics simulations (200 ns for each complex) with explicit water molecules were performed on the four ternary complexes, yielding significant findings that contribute to a better understanding of experimental results. The molecular modeling highlighted the crucial role of a specific α-helix (O-helix) within the fingers subdomain, which facilitates the proper geometry for functional contacts between the incoming nucleotide and the DNA template needed for incorporation into the polymerase. The analysis revealed that complex 1 exhibits a much lower affinity for Taq DNA polymerase than complexes 2-3. The affinities of cisplatin metabolites 2-3 for Taq DNA polymerase were found to be quite similar to those of natural dGTP, resulting in a lower incorporation rate for complex 1 compared to complexes 2-3. These findings could have significant implications for the cisplatin mechanism of action, as the high intracellular availability of free nucleobases might promote the competitive incorporation of platinated nucleotides over direct cisplatin attachment to DNA. The study's insights into the incorporation of platinated nucleotides into the Taq DNA polymerase active site suggest that the role of platinated nucleotides in the cisplatin mechanism of action may have been previously underestimated.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogues (NAs) are a family of compounds which include a variety of purine and pyrimidine derivatives, widely used as anticancer and antiviral agents. For their ability to compete with physiological nucleosides, NAs act as antimetabolites exerting their activity by interfering with the synthesis of nucleic acids. Much progress in the comprehension of their molecular mechanisms has been made, including providing new strategies for potentiating anticancer/antiviral activity. Among these strategies, new platinum-NAs showing a good potential to improve the therapeutic indices of NAs have been synthesized and studied. This short review aims to describe the properties and future perspectives of platinum-NAs, proposing these complexes as a new class of antimetabolites.

Abstract
The reactivity of [PtX2(Me2phen)] complexes (X = Cl, Br, I; Me2phen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) with terminal alkynes has been investigated. Although the dichlorido species [PtCl2(Me2phen)] exhibits negligible reactivity, the bromido and iodido derivatives lead in short time to the formation of five-coordinate Pt(ii) complexes of the type [PtX2(Me2phen)(η2-CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)] (X = Br, I; R = Ph, n-Bu), in equilibrium with the starting reagents. Similar to analogous complexes with simple acetylene, the five coordinate species can also undergo dissociation of an halido ligand and formation of the transient square-planar cationic species [PtX(Me2phen)(η2-CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)]+. This latter can further evolve to give an unusual, sparingly soluble square planar product where the former terminal alkyne is converted into a :C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)(R) moiety with the α-carbon bridging the Pt(ii) core with one of the two N-donors of coordinated Me2phen. The final product [PtX2{κ2-N,C-(Z)-N[combining low line]1-N10-C[combining low line][double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)(R)}] (N1-N10 = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; X = Br, I) contains a Pt-N-C-C-N-C six-membered chelate ring in a square planar Pt(ii) coordination environment.

Abstract
An inverse linear relationship between 73Ge, 119Sn and 207Pb NMR chemical shifts and the overall sum of ionic radii of coordinated halido ligands has been discovered in tetrahedral [MXnY4-n] (M = Ge, Sn, Pb; 1 ≤ n ≤ 4; X, Y = Cl, Br, I) coordination compounds. This finding is consistent with a previously reported correlation found in octahedral, pentacoordinate and square planar platinum complexes. The effect of the coordinated halido ligands acting on the metal as shielding conducting rings is therefore confirmed also by 73Ge, 119Sn and 207Pb NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The reactivity with acetylene of [PtX2(Me2phen)] (X = Cl, Br, I) complexes has been investigated. Whereas the chlorido species [PtCl2(Me2phen)] exhibits negligible reactivity at short reaction times, the bromido and iodido species [PtBr2(Me2phen)] and [PtI2(Me2phen)] lead initially to formation of Pt(II) five-coordinate complexes, [PtX2(η(2)-CH≡CH)(Me2phen)], that evolve to four-coordinate alkenyl complexes of the type [PtX(η(1)-E-CH=CHX)(Me2phen)]. The alkenyl complexes, in the presence of excess acetylene, establish an equilibrium with the five-coordinate alkyne-alkenyl species [PtX(η(1)-E-CH=CHX)(η(2)-CH≡CH)(Me2phen)] (X = Br, I). The π-bonded acetylene can be exchanged with free olefins or C≡O, affording the new alkene-alkenyl or carbonyl-alkenyl complexes [PtX(η(1)-E-CH=CHX)(η(2)-olefin)(Me2phen)] and [PtX(η(1)-E-CH=CHX)(C≡O)(Me2phen)]. The five-coordinate geometry of the alkyne-alkenyl and alkene-alkenyl complexes was assessed from NMR data and is fully consistent with that of a previously determined X-ray structure of [PtBr(η(1)-E-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHBr)(η(2)-CH2=CH2)(Me2phen)].
