Abstract
In order to shed light on the mechanism that underlies activity of bifunctional mononuclear Pt(II) analogs of transplatin we examined in the present work a DNA binding mode of the analog of transplatin, namely trans-[Pt(CH3NH2)2Cl2], in which NH3 groups were replaced only by a small, non-bulky methylamine ligand. This choice was made because we were interested to reveal the role of the bulkiness of the amines used to substitute NH3 in transplatin to produce antitumor-active Pt(II) drug. The results indicate that trans-[Pt(CH3NH2)2Cl2] forms a markedly higher amount of more distorting intrastrand cross-links than transplatin which forms in DNA preferentially less distorting and persisting monofunctional adducts. Also importantly, the accumulation of trans-[Pt(CH3NH2)2Cl2] in tumor cells was considerably greater than that of transplatin and cisplatin. In addition, the results of the present work demonstrate that the replacement of ammine groups by the non-bulky methylamine ligand in the molecule of ineffective transplatin results in a radical enhancement of its activity in tumor cell lines including cisplatin-resistant tumor cells. Thus, activation of the trans geometry in bifunctional mononuclear Pt(II) complexes can be also accomplished by replacement of ammine groups in transplatin by non-bulky methylamine ligands so that it is not limited only to the replacement by relatively bulky and stereochemically more demanding amino ligands.

Abstract
Organometallic ruthenium(ii) anticancer complexes [(η(6)-arene)Ru(en)Cl][PF(6)] (e.g. arene = biphenyl (bip, 1), indane (ind, 2); en = ethylenediamine) bind to N7 of guanine (G) in DNA selectively. The fragment {(η(6)-bip)Ru(en)}(2+) (1') bound to N7 of one guanine residue at a 14-mer duplex DNA migrates readily to other guanine residues in both the same strand and the complementary strand when the strands are hybridized at elevated temperature. In this work, by applying HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry, the mechanism of such intra- and interstrand migration was investigated using a 15-mer duplex, in which one strand 5'-CTCTCTTG(8)TCTTCTC-3' (I) contained a single guanine (G(8)). The results show that the interstrand migration of complexes 1 and 2 within the duplex involves an SN1 pathway, firstly solvent-assisted dissociation of the initially G(8)-bound adducts I-G(8)-1' and I-G(8)-2' (2' = {(η(6)-ind)Ru(en)}(2+)) as the rate-controlling step, and secondly the coordination of the dissociated 1' and 2' to guanine bases (G(21) for 1', either G(21) or G(18) for 2') on strand II. The high temperature used to anneal the single strands was found to increase the migration rate. The formation of the duplex acts as a key driving force to promote the dissociation of G(8)-bound 1' and 2' due to the competition of cytosine in II with the en-NH(2) groups in 1' and 2' for H-bonding with C6O of guanine. Complex 2 (t(1/2) = 18 h) containing a mono-ringed arene ligand dissociates more readily from the initially binding site G(8) than complex 1 (t(1/2) = 23 h). The extended biphenyl arene ligand which is intercalated into DNA stabilizes the adduct I-G(8)-1'. These results provide new insight into this unusual metal migration, and are of significance for the design and development of more active organometallic ruthenium anticancer complexes.

Abstract
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) can bind to polypurine x polypyrimidine tracts in DNA and, as a consequence, perturb the normal functioning of a targeted gene. The effectiveness of such antigene TFOs can potentially be enhanced by covalent attachment of the TFO to its DNA target. Here, we report that attachment of N-7-platinated guanine nucleosides to the 3'- and/or 5'-ends of oligopyrimidine TFOs enables these TFOs to form highly stable adducts with target DNA deoxyguanosines or deoxyadenosines that are adjacent to the TFO binding site. Such adduct formation stably anchors the TFO to its target. Depending on the sequences adjacent to the TFO binding site, adduct formation can occur on either strand of the DNA. Adduct formation by 3',5'-bis-platinated TFOs can result in the formation of an interstrand cross-link between both strands of the DNA duplex. Formation of the adducts, which could be reversed by treatment with sodium cyanide, was dependent upon the ability of the TFO to bind to DNA and appeared to occur at a rate slower than that at which the TFO bound to the DNA duplex. The extent of adduct formation at 37 degrees C by platinated deoxyribo-TFOs diminished as the pH was increased from 6.5 to 7.4. In contrast, high levels (approximately 86%) of adduct formation by platinated 2'-O-methylribo-TFOs were observed at both pH 6.5 and pH 7.4. Platinated 2'-O-methylribo-TFOs were also shown to bind to plasmid DNA and inhibit transcription in vitro, and to inhibit plasmid replication in E. coli cells. These results suggest that platinum-conjugated TFOs may be good candidates for use as antigene agents.

Abstract
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) can bind specifically to polypurine sequences in double-stranded DNA. A single interruption of this polypurine tract can greatly destabilize triplex formation. The stability of triplexes can be significantly enhanced by covalently linking the TFO to its DNA target with reactive functional groups conjugated to the TFO. Covalently cross-linked TFOs are effective inhibitors of transcription of the target DNA sequence. We have designed a TFO with a platinum-modified base that can interact with and cross-link to a cytosine interruption in the polypurine tract of a target DNA duplex. The TFO contains an N(4)-(aminoalkyl)cytosine derivatized with cis-diamminediaquaplatinum(II) or trans-diamminediaquaplatinum(II). When bound to its target, the tethered platinum of the TFO can reach across the major groove and form an adduct with the guanine N7 of the interrupting C.G base pair. The optimal tether length is five methylene groups, and cross-linking is most efficient when the tether is modified with trans-diamminediaquaplatinum(II). Cross-linking requires that the TFO is bound to its designated DNA target. Addition of cyanide to the cross-linked TFO product reversed the cross-link, behavior that is consistent with the presence of a platinum-guanine adduct. The kinetics of the cross-linking reaction were studied and the half-life of the cross-linking reaction was approximately 3 h. Our results demonstrate that platinum-conjugated TFOs can be designed to cross-link with DNA targets that contain a single pyrimidine interruption. Modifications of this type may prove useful for expanding the DNA sequences that can be targeted by TFOs and increasing the stability of the resulting triplexes.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy was employed to characterize the perturbations to DNA conformation induced in DNA by two different intrastrand adducts of antitumor cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin), namely by its 1,2-GG or 1,3-GTG intrastrand cross-links. We examined short deoxyribooligonucleotide duplexes containing single, site-specific cross-link by Raman spectroscopy and assigned the spectral alterations to conformational changes induced in DNA by 1,2-GG or 1,3-GTG intrastrand CLs determined earlier by other biochemical and biophysical methods. The results confirmed significant perturbations to the B-form DNA backbone due to the intrastrand lesions and that several nucleotides changed their conformation from C2'-endo to C3'-endo. Evidence for a partial transition from B- to A-form was found in several regions of the Raman spectra as well. The spectra also confirmed the different and more extensive distortion induced in B-DNA by 1,3-GTG in comparison with 1,2-GG intrastrand CLs, consistent with their already known high resolution structures. The results of the present work demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy represents a suitable tool to provide insights into structural factors involved in the mechanisms underlying antitumor effects of platinum drugs.

Abstract
In order to learn more about the molecular basis for the inhibition of DNA replication produced by antitumor platinum drugs, we investigated DNA polymerization using DNA templates site-specifically modified with the 1,2-GG intrastrand cross-link of dinuclear bifunctional [{trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2)}(2){l-spermidine-N1,N8}](3+)(BBR3571) or conventional mononuclear cisplatin. These cross-links which have the same nature, but differ in the size and character of the conformational alteration induced in double-helical DNA, were analyzed for bypass ability with reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I deficient in exonuclease activity. We found that the 1,2-GG intrastrand CL of BBR3571 inhibited DNA translesion synthesis markedly more than the same adduct of cisplatin. This result was explained by a larger size of the cross-link of BBR3571 and by a flexibility induced in DNA by this cross-link which can make the productive binding of this adduct at the polymerase site more difficult.

Abstract
Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) footprinting methodology was used to analyze oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes containing unique and single, site-specific adducts of trinuclear bifunctional platinum compound, [{trans-PtCl(NH3)2}2 mu-trans-Pt(NH3)2{H2N(CH2)6NH2}2]4+ (BBR3464) and the results were compared with DNase I footprints of some adducts of conventional mononuclear cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). These examinations took into account the fact that the local conformation of the DNA at the sites of the contacts of DNase I with DNA phosphates, such as the minor groove width and depth, sequence-dependent flexibility and bendability of the double helix, are important determinants of sequence-dependent binding to and cutting of DNA by DNase I. It was shown that various conformational perturbations induced by platinum binding in the major groove translated into the minor groove, allowing their detection by DNase I probing. The results also demonstrate the very high sensitivity of DNase I to DNA conformational alterations induced by platinum complexes so that the platinum adducts which induce specific local conformational alterations in DNA are differently recognized by DNase I.

Abstract
The XPC-hHR23B complex (XPC-hHR23B) is a heterodimeric protein required for the initial step of DNA damage recognition in the global nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. A strong preference of XPC-hHR23B for UV- and cisplatin-damaged DNA has previously been demonstrated using equilibrium binding assays. To better understand the molecular mechanism of damage recognition by XPC-hHR23B, we carried out the pre-steady-state kinetic analysis of the XPC-hHR23B-DNA interactions using a stopped-flow fluorescence assay. XPC-hHR23B displays a faster k(on) for cisplatin- and UV-damaged duplex DNA than for undamaged DNA, with additional, minor effects on the k(off) rates. XPC-hHR23B has a high affinity for undamaged single-stranded DNA compared to duplex DNA, which can be largely attributed to a high rate of association. However, cisplatin damage on single-stranded DNA reduced the overall level of binding by a factor of 7, with nearly equal contributions from changes to the k(on) and k(off) rates. Together, these results support a model for initial damage recognition by XPC-hHR23B that is dependent on structural changes in the DNA, and not adduct chemistry.

Abstract
Simultaneous exposure of transplatin to polypeptides and DNA was mimicked by using a model peptide-oligonucleotide conjugate. Initially formed methionine-guanine chelates evolved into adducts with histidine-guanine trans-Pt(NH3)2 cross-links that differed in constitution and stability from those formed by reaction of the same conjugate with the anticancer drug cisplatin. This finding may be due to different capacities of the two diamminedichloroplatinum(II) complexes to interfere with biological processes and may explain their differing cytotoxicities.

Abstract
Transcription arrest by RNA polymerase II at a DNA damage site on the transcribed strand is considered an essential step in initiation of transcription-coupled repair (TCR), a specialized repair pathway, which specifically removes lesions from transcribed strands of expressed genes. To understand how initiation of TCR occurs, it is necessary to characterize the properties of the transcription complex when it encounters a lesion in its path. The analysis of different types of arrested complexes should help us understand how an arrested RNA polymerase may signal the repair proteins to initiate a repair event. This article will review the recent literature describing how the presence of DNA damage along the DNA affects transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II and its implications for the initial steps of TCR.

Abstract
In response to genotoxic attacks, cells activate sophisticated DNA repair pathways such as nucleotide excision repair (NER), which consists of damage removal via dual incision and DNA resynthesis. Using permanganate footprinting as well as highly purified factors, we show that NER is a dynamic process that takes place in a number of successive steps during which the DNA is remodeled around the lesion in response to the various NER factors. XPC/HR23B first recognizes the damaged structure and initiates the opening of the helix from position -3 to +6. TFIIH is then recruited and, in the presence of ATP, extends the opening from position -6 to +6; it also displaces XPC downstream from the lesion, thereby providing the topological structure for recruiting XPA and RPA, which will enlarge the opening. Once targeted by XPG, the damaged DNA is further melted from position -19 to +8. XPG and XPF/ERCC1 endonucleases then cut the damaged DNA at the limit of the opened structure that was previously "labeled" by the positioning of XPC/HR23B and TFIIH.

Abstract
A paradigm for the structure-pharmacological activity relationship of bifunctional platinum antitumor drugs is that the trans isomer of antitumor cisplatin (transplatin) is clinically ineffective. To this end, however, several new complexes of the trans structure have been identified that exhibit cytotoxicity in tumor cells that is even better than that of the analogous cis isomers. We reported recently (Kasparkova, J., Marini, V., Najajreh, Y., Gibson, D., and Brabec, V. (2003) Biochemistry 42, 6321-6332) that the replacement of one ammine ligand by the heterocyclic ligand, such as piperidine, piperazine, or 4-picoline in the molecule of transplatin resulted in a radical enhancement of its cytotoxicity. We examined oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes bearing a site-specific cross-link of the transplatin analogue containing the piperidine ligand by biochemical methods. The results indicate that in contrast to transplatin, trans-(PtCl2(NH3)(piperidine)) forms stable 1,3-intrastrand cross-links in double-helical DNA that distort DNA and are not readily removed from DNA by nucleotide excision repair system. Hence, the intrastrand cross-links of trans-(PtCl2(NH3)(piperidine)) could persist for a sufficiently long time, potentiating its toxicity toward tumor cells. trans-(PtCl2(NH3)(piperidine)) also forms in DNA minor interstrand cross-links that are similar to those of transplatin so that these adducts appear less likely candidates for genotoxic lesion responsible for antitumor effects of trans-(PtCl2(NH3)(piperidine)). Hence, the role of structurally unique intrastrand cross-links in the anti-tumor effects of transplatin analogues in which one ammine group is replaced by a heterocyclic ligand may predominate.

Abstract
Transcription-coupled DNA repair is dedicated to the removal of DNA lesions from transcribed strands of expressed genes. RNA polymerase arrest at a lesion has been proposed as a sensitive signal for recruitment of repair enzymes to the lesion site. To understand how initiation of transcription-coupled repair may occur, we have characterized the properties of the transcription complex when it encounters a lesion in its path. Here we have compared the effect of cisplatin-induced intrastrand cross-links on transcription elongation by T7 RNA polymerase and mammalian RNA polymerase II. We found that a single cisplatin 1,2-d(GG) intrastrand cross-link or a single cisplatin 1,3-d(GTG) intrastrand cross-link is a strong block to both polymerases. Furthermore, the efficiency of the block at a cisplatin 1,2-d(GG) intrastrand cross-link was similar in several different nucleotide sequence contexts. Interestingly, some blockage was also observed when the single cisplatin 1,3-d(GTG) intrastrand cross-link was located in the non-transcribed strand. Transcription complexes arrested at the cisplatin adducts were substrates for the transcript cleavage reaction mediated by the elongation factor TFIIS, indicating that the RNA polymerase II complexes arrested at these lesions are not released from template DNA. Addition of TFIIS yielded a population of transcripts up to 30 nucleotides shorter than those arrested at the lesion. In the presence of nucleoside triphosphates, these shortened transcripts could be re-elongated up to the site of the lesion, indicating that the arrested complexes are stable and competent to resume elongation. These results show that cisplatin-induced lesions in the transcribed DNA strand constitute a strong physical barrier to RNA polymerase progression, and they support current models of transcription arrest and initiation of transcription-coupled repair.

Abstract
The development of metal-based antitumor drugs has been stimulated by the clinical success of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) and its analogs and by the clinical trials of other platinum and ruthenium complexes with activity against resistant tumors and reduced toxicity including orally available platinum drugs. Broadening the spectrum of antitumor drugs depends on understanding existing agents with a view toward developing new modes of attack. It is therefore of great interest to understand the details of molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying the biological efficacy of platinum and other transition-metal compounds. There is a large body of experimental evidence that the success of platinum complexes in killing tumor cells results from their ability to form various types of covalent adducts on DNA; thus, the research of DNA interactions of metal-based antitumor drugs has predominated. The present review summarizes current knowledge on DNA modifications by platinum and ruthenium complexes, their recognition by specific proteins, and repair. It also provides strong support for the view that either platinum or ruthenium drugs, which bind to DNA in a fundamentally different manner from that of 'classical' cisplatin, have altered pharmacological properties. The present article also demonstrates that this concept has already led to the synthesis of several new unconventional platinum or ruthenium antitumor compounds that violate the original structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent. It reacts with nucleophilic bases in DNA and forms 1,2-d(ApG), 1,2-d(GpG) and 1,3-d(GpTpG) intrastrand crosslinks, interstrand crosslinks and monofunctional adducts. The presence of these adducts in DNA is through to be responsible for the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin. The exact signal transduction pathway that leads to cell cycle arrest and cell death following treatment with the drug is not known but cell death is believed to be mediated by the recognition of the adducts by cellular proteins. Here we describe the structural information available for cisplatin and related platinum adducts, the interactions of the adducts with cellular proteins and the implications of these interactions for cell survival.

Abstract
The new antitumor trinuclear platinum compound [(trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2))(2)mu-trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)(H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2))(2)](4+) (designated as BBR3464) is currently in phase II clinical trials. DNA is generally considered the major pharmacological target of platinum drugs. As such it is of considerable interest to understand the patterns of DNA damage. The bifunctional DNA binding of BBR3464 is characterized by the rapid formation of long range intra- and interstrand cross-links. We examined how the structures of the various types of the intrastrand cross-links of BBR3464 affect conformational properties of DNA, and how these adducts are recognized by high mobility group 1 protein and removed from DNA during in vitro nucleotide excision repair reactions. The results have revealed that intrastrand cross-links of BBR3464 create a local conformational distortion, but none of these cross-links results in a stable curvature. In addition, we have observed no recognition of these cross-links by high mobility group 1 proteins, but we have observed effective removal of these adducts from DNA by nucleotide excision repair. These results suggest that the processing of the intrastrand cross-links of BBR3464 in tumor cells sensitive to this drug may not be relevant to its antitumor effects. Hence, polynuclear platinum compounds apparently represent a novel class of platinum anticancer drugs acting by a different mechanism than cisplatin and its analogues.

Abstract
Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric protein composed of 70-, 34-, and 14-kDa subunits that has been shown to be required for DNA replication, repair, and homologous recombination. We have previously shown preferential binding of recombinant human RPA (rhRPA) to duplex cisplatin-damaged DNA compared with the control undamaged DNA (Patrick, S. M., and Turchi, J. J. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 8808-8815). Here we assess the binding of rhRPA to DNA containing site-specific cisplatin-DNA adducts. rhRPA is shown to bind 1.5-2-fold better to a duplex 30-base pair substrate containing a single 1,3d(GpXpG) compared with a 1,2d(GpG) cisplatin-DNA intrastrand adduct, consistent with the difference in thermal stability of DNA containing each adduct. Consistent with these data, a 21-base pair DNA substrate containing a centrally located single interstrand cisplatin cross-link resulted in less binding than to the undamaged control DNA. A series of experiments measuring rhRPA binding and concurrent DNA denaturation revealed that rhRPA binds duplex cisplatin-damaged DNA via the generation of single-stranded DNA. Single-strand DNA binding experiments show that rhRPA binds 3-4-fold better to an undamaged 24-base DNA compared with the same substrate containing a single 1,2d(GpG) cisplatin-DNA adduct. These data are consistent with a low affinity interaction of rhRPA with duplex-damaged DNA followed by the generation of single-stranded DNA and then high affinity binding to the undamaged DNA strand.

Abstract
We have studied the formation and repair of cisplatin-DNA adducts in wild-type mouse leukemia L1210/0 cells and in the sublines L1210/2 and L1210/5, which differ in cisplatin sensitivity. In a colony-formation assay these sublines were 9- and 22-fold more resistant compared to L1210/0, respectively. Cisplatin-induced DNA modification was studied at the cellular level by immunocytochemistry with antiserum NKI-A59 raised against cisplatin-treated DNA. Levels of nuclear staining immediately after a 1-h treatment were similar to those seen after a 24-h post-incubation in drug-free medium. Clear differences in DNA platination were found between the cell lines: immediately after exposure, L1210/2 and L1210/5 showed only 32 and 14%, respectively, of the nuclear staining observed in L1210/0, and 48 and 13% after 24 h. In these experiments, adduct-specific nuclear staining was quantified as the area under the adduct versus concentration curves (AUC). The formation and repair in these cell lines of the bifunctional adducts cis-Pt(NH3)2d(pGpG) (Pt-GG), cis-Pt(NH3)2d(pApG) (Pt-AG) and cis-Pt(NH3)2(dGMP)2 (G-Pt-G) were studied with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). No relation between repair and resistance was observed. The results suggest that differences in induced DNA platination levels, rather than in repair, are responsible--at least in part--for the differences in cisplatin resistance. A mechanism such as an increased tolerance of the resistant cells to plantinum-DNA damage may also be involved.

Abstract
During nucleotide excision repair in human cells, a damaged DNA strand is cleaved by two endonucleases, XPG on the 3' side of the lesion and ERCC1-XPF on the 5' side. These structure-specific enzymes act at junctions between duplex and single-stranded DNA. ATP-dependent formation of an open DNA structure of approximately 25 nt around the adduct precedes this dual incision. We investigated the mechanism of open complex formation and find that mutations in XPB or XPD, the DNA helicase subunits of the transcription and repair factor TFIIH, can completely prevent opening and dual incision in cell-free extracts. A deficiency in XPC protein also prevents opening. The absence of RPA, XPA or XPG activities leads to an intermediate level of strand separation. In contrast, XPF or ERCC1-defective extracts open normally and generate a 3' incision, but fail to form the 5' incision. This same repair defect was observed in extracts from human xeroderma pigmentosum cells with an alteration in the C-terminal domain of XPB, suggesting that XPB has an additional role in facilitating 5' incision by ERCC1-XPF nuclease. These data support a mechanism in which TFIIH-associated helicase activity and XPC protein catalyze initial formation of the key open intermediate, with full extension to the cleavage sites promoted by the other core nucleotide excision repair factors. Opening is followed by dual incision, with the 3' cleavage made first.

Abstract
In the context of developing an approach to irreversibly and specifically link oligonucleotides to RNA, the purpose of this work was to determine the factors interfering with the rate of the rearrangement of the transplatin 1,3-intrastrand crosslinks into interstrand crosslinks, rearrangement triggered by the formation of a double helix between platinated oligo-2'-O-methyl-ribonucleotides and their complementary strands. The rate of the rearrangement has been studied as a function of the length of the hybrids, the location of the intrastrand crosslinks, the nature of the oligonucleotide backbone, and the nature of the doublet replacing the triplet complementary to the intrastrand crosslinks. The thermal stability of the platinated hybrids has been determined in various salt conditions. The results are discussed in relation to the mechanism of the rearrangement. It is shown that the cellular proteins present weaker nonspecific interactions with single-stranded platinated oligo-2'-O-methyl-nucleotides than with the isosequential oligodeoxyribonucleotides.

Abstract
A trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (trans-DDP) intrastrand adduct within the sequence d(TCTG*TG*TC).d(GACACAGA) (where G* represents a platinated guanine) is modeled on the basis of qualitative experimental data concerning global unwinding and curvature as well as information on base pairing. Modeling is performed using the internal coordinate JUMNA program, specific to nucleic acids, and modified to include the possibility of covalently bound ligands. Calibration of the energy functions representing the Pt-N7 bond with guanine is described. The platinum atom and the platinum-nitrogen bonds are parameterized for use in the Hückel Del Re method to calculate monopoles at each atom. These monopoles are consistent with the Flex force field included in Jumna. By developing an appropriate minimization protocol we are able to generate stable, distorted three-dimensional structures compatible with the experimental data and including an unusually high global unwinding. No a priori geometric assumptions are made in generating these structures.

Abstract
We present a study of how kinks, flexible bends, and flexible joints in the DNA helix, induced by binding cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP), transdiamminedichloroplatinum(II) (trans-DDP), and chlorodiethylenetriammineplatinum(II) (dien-Pt) to the DNA, affect the electrophoretic migration of DNA in agarose gels. For long DNA the conformation oscillates between extended and compact states during the migration, as for native DNA. The presence of flexible joints decreases both the length of time and the step length of the cycles, but in a compensatory manner so that there is no net effect on the mobility. This demonstrates that in some cases mobility alone cannot detect pertubations in the DNA helix. Kinks and flexible bends reduce the mobility because they both lead to longer time periods of the cycles. With kinks the reduction is strongest at low fields because at high fields the kinks are straightened out; the steps thus become even longer than for native DNA. The results suggest that a combination of mobility and orientation measurements on reptating DNA can be used for distinguishing different kinds of structural alterations in the DNA.

Abstract
Human XPG nuclease makes the 3' incision during nucleotide excision repair of DNA. The enzyme cleaves model DNA bubble structures specifically near the junction of unpaired DNA with a duplex region. It is not yet known, however, whether an unpaired structure is an intermediate during actual DNA repair. We find here that XPG requires opening of >5 bp for efficient cleavage. To seek direct evidence for formation of an open structure around a lesion in DNA during a nucleotide excision repair reaction in vitro, KMnO4 footprinting experiments were performed on a damaged DNA molecule bearing a uniquely placed cisplatin adduct. An unwound open complex spanning approximately 25 nucleotides was observed that extended to the positions of 5' and 3' incision sites and was dependent on XPA protein and on ATP. Opening during repair occurred prior to strand incision by XPG.

Abstract
The cytotoxicity of cisplatin and cisplatin-DNA adduct formation in vitro and in vivo is clearly enhanced by hyperthermia. We investigated whether cytotoxicity and platinum-DNA adduct formation of two promising new third-generation platinum derivatives, lobaplatin [1,2-diamminomethylcyclobutane platinum(II) lactate] and oxaliplatin [oxalato-1,2-diaminocyclohexane platinum(II)], are also enhanced by hyperthermia. Cisplatin was used for comparison. SW 1573 cells were incubated with cisplatin, lobaplatin or oxaliplatin at different concentrations for 1 h at 37 degrees, 41 degrees and 43 degrees C. The reproductive capacity of cells was determined by cloning experiments. Immunocytochemical detection of platinum-DNA adducts was performed with the rabbit antiserum NKI-A59. At 37 degrees C, cisplatin was the most cytotoxic, followed by oxaliplatin and lobaplatin. Hyperthermia clearly enhanced the cytotoxicity of cisplatin, lobaplatin and oxaliplatin. There was no further increase in cytotoxicity at 43 degrees C compared to 41 degrees C for cisplatin and oxaliplatin. A further increase in cytotoxicity at 43 degrees C was observed for lobaplatin. At 43 degrees C thermal enhancement was higher for lobaplatin than for oxaliplatin, with the reverse pattern at 41 degrees C. For both drugs, thermal enhancement of cytotoxicity was lower than observed for cisplatin. Immunocytochemical detection of platinum-DNA adducts was feasible for all the drugs. Adduct formation was enhanced at 43 degrees C for cisplatin, lobaplatin and oxaliplatin with a relative increase of 410%, 170% and 180%. These results seem to confirm that an increase in platinum-DNA adduct formation is involved in the in vitro thermal enhancement of cytotoxicity. The observed thermal enhancement of cytotoxicity of lobaplatin and oxaliplatin in vitro warrants further in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Our aim was to determine whether a single transplatin monofunctional adduct, either trans-[Pt(NH3)2(dC)Cl]+ or trans-[Pt(NH3)2(dG)Cl]+ within a homopyrimidine oligonucleotide, could further react and form an interstrand cross-link once the platinated oligonucleotide was bound to the complementary duplex. The single monofunctional adduct was located at either the 5' end or in the middle of the platinated oligonucleotide. In all the triplexes, specific interstrand cross-links were formed between the platinated Hoogsteen strand and the complementary purine-rich strand. No interstrand cross-links were detected between the platinated oligonucleotides and non-complementary DNA. The yield and the rate of the cross-linking reaction depend upon the nature and location of the monofunctional adducts. Half-lives of the monofunctional adducts within the triplexes were in the range 2-6 h. The potential use of the platinated oligonucleotides to modulate gene expression is discussed.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair by mammalian enzymes removes DNA damage as part of approximately 30-mer oligonucleotides by incising phosphodiester bonds on either side of a lesion. We analyzed this dual incision reaction at a single 1,3-intrastrand d(GpTpG)-cisplatin cross-link in a closed circular duplex DNA substrate. Incisions were formed in the DNA with human cell extracts in which DNA repair synthesis was inhibited. The nicks were mapped by restriction fragment end labeling and primer extension analysis. Principal sites of cleavage were identified at the 9th phosphodiester bond 3' to the lesion and at the 16th phosphodiester bond 5' to the lesion. The predominant product was found to be a 26-mer platinated oligonucleotide by hybridization to a 32P-labeled complementary DNA probe. Oligonucleotides were formed at the same rate as the 3' cleavage, suggesting that both incisions are made in a near-synchronous manner. There was, however, a low frequency of 5' incisions in the absence of 3' cleavage. The dual incision reaction was reconstituted using the purified mammalian proteins XPA, RPA, XPC, TFIIH, XPG, and a fraction containing ERCC1-XPF and IF7. All of these components were required in order to observe any cleavage.

The anticancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) has been shown previously to form adducts preferentially within internucleosomal or linker DNA rather than to DNA within the nucleosome. To determine whether other "open" regions of chromatin have an increased affinity for cisplatin, adduct formation within specific chromatin domains was analyzed. There was a significant increase in cisplatin-DNA adduct formation for DNA associated with the nuclear matrix (NM) compared with other chromatin domains and total unfractionated DNA. In contrast, treatment of the same cells with trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (transplatin) did not result in preferential adduct formation. These findings led to the hypothesis that it might be possible to alter DNA to make it a more favorable target for cisplatin. The effect of arginine butyrate on cisplatin-DNA adduct formation was analyzed in human cancer cells. The combination of arginine butyrate and cisplatin resulted in a concentration-responsive increase in cisplatin-DNA adduct formation in PC-3 cells and an overall increase in cisplatin-DNA adduct formation in three other human cancer cell lines. The same combination also resulted in a significant increase in drug-induced cytotoxicity at a low concentration of cisplatin. These results suggest that chromatin configuration can affect cisplatin adduct formation.

Abstract
The toxicity and mutagenicity of three DNA adducts formed by the anticancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP or cisplatin) were investigated in Escherichia coli. The adducts studied were cis-[Pt(NH3)2(d(GpG))] (G*G*), cis-[Pt(NH3)2(d(ApG))] (A*G*) and cis-[Pt(NH3)2(d(GpTpG))] (G*TG*), which collectively represent approximately 95% of the DNA adducts reported to form when the drug damages DNA. Oligonucleotide 24-mers containing each adduct were positioned at a known site within the viral strand of single stranded M13mp7L2 bacteriophage DNA. Following transfection into E. coli DL7 cells, the genomes containing the G*G*, A*G* and G*TG* adducts had survival levels of 5.2 +/- 1.2, 22 +/- 2.6 and 14 +/- 2.5% respectively, compared to unmodified genomes. Upon SOS induction, the survival of genomes containing the G*G* and A*G* adducts increased to 31 +/- 5.4 and 32 +/- 4.9% respectively. Survival of the genome containing the G*TG* adduct did not increase upon SOS induction. In SOS induced cells, the G*G* and A*G* adducts gave rise predominantly to G-->T and A-->T transversions respectively, targeted to the 5' modified base. In addition, A-->G transitions were detected for the A*G* adduct and low levels of tandem mutations at the 5' modified base as well as the adjacent 5' base were also observed for both adducts. The A*G* adduct was more mutagenic than the G*G* adduct, with a mutation frequency of 6% compared to 1.4% for the latter adduct. No cis-[Pt(NH3)2)2+ intrastrand crosslink-specific mutations were observed for the G*TG* adduct.

Abstract
The reaction between trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) and single-stranded oligonucleotides containing the sequence d(GXG) (X being an adenine, cytosine or thymine residue) yields trans-[Pt(NH3)2[(GXG)-GN7,GN7]] intrastrand cross-links. These cross-links do not prevent the pairing of the platinated oligonucleotides with their complementary strands but they decrease the thermal stability of the duplexes. The thermal stability is not much affected by the chemical nature of the X residue and its complementary base. By gel electrophoresis, it is shown that the trans- [Pt(NH3)2[d(GTG)-GN7,GN7]] cross-link bends the DNA double helix (26 degrees) and unwinds it (45 degrees). The pairing of the platinated oligonucleotides with their complementary strands promotes the rearrangement of the 1,3-intrastrand cross-links into interstrand cross-links. At a given temperature, the nature of the X residue, its complementary base and of the base pairs adjacent to the adducts do not dramatically affect the rate of the reaction. To know whether trans-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GXG)-GN7,GN7]] cross-links do not rearrange in some sequences, the location of these adducts was searched in double-stranded DNA after reaction with trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) by means of the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase. At low level of platination, trans-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GXG)-GN7,GN7]] cross-links were not detected. Monofunctional adducts and interstrand cross-links were mainly formed. These results are discussed in relation with the clinical inefficiency of trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II).

Abstract
A sequence that is represented frequently in functionally important sites involving protein-DNA interactions is GTG/CAC, suggesting that the trimer may play a role in regulatory processes. The 2.5 A resolution structure of d(CGGTGG)/d(CCACCG), a part of the interior operator (OI, nucleotides +44 to +49) of the gal operon, co-crystallized with spermine, is described herein. The crystal packing arrangement in this structure is unprecedented in a crystal of B-DNA, revealing a close packing of columns of stacked DNA resembling a 5-stranded twisted wire cable. The final structure contains one hexamer duplex, 17 water molecules and 1.5 spermine molecules per crystallographic asymmetric unit. The hexamer exhibits base-pair opening and shearing at T.A resulting in a novel non-Watson-Crick hydrogen-bonding scheme between adenine and thymine in the GTG region. The ability of this sequence to adopt unusual conformations in its GTG region may be a critical factor conferring sequence selectivity on the binding of Gal repressor. In addition, this is the first conclusive example of a crystal structure of spermine with native B-DNA, providing insight into the mechanics of polyamine-DNA binding, as well as possible explanations for the biological action of spermine.

Abstract
The stability of trans-(Pt(NH3)2[d(CGAG)-N7-G,N7-G]) adducts, resulting from cross-links between two guanine residues at d(CGAG) sites within single-stranded oligonucleotides by trans-diamminedichloro-platinum(II), has been studied under various conditions of temperature, salt and pH. The trans-(Pt(NH3)2[d(C GAG)-N7-G,N7-G]) cross-links rearrange into trans-(Pt(NH3)2[d(CGAG)-N3-C,N7-G]) cross-links. The rate of rearrangement is independent of pH, in the range 5-9, and of the nature and concentration of the salt (NaCl or NaCIO4) in the range 10-400 mM. The reaction rate depends upon temperature, the t1/2 values for the disappearance of the (G,G) intrastrand cross-link ranging from 120 h at 30 degrees C to 70 min at 80 degrees C. The linkage isomerization reaction occurs in oligonucleotides as short as the platinated tetramer d(CGAG). Replacement of the intervening residue A by T has no major effect on the reaction. The C residue adjacent to the adduct on the 5' side plays a key-role in the reaction; its replacement by a G, A or T residue prevents the reaction occuring. No rearrangement was observed with the C residue adjacent to the adduct on the 3' side. It is proposed that the linkage isomerization reaction results from a direct attack of the base residue on the platinum(II) square complex.

Abstract
Physico-chemical and immunological studies have been done in order to further characterize the distorsions induced in DNA by the interstrand cross-links formed between the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) and two guanines on the opposite strands of DNA at the d(GC/GC) sites. Bending (45 degrees) and unwinding (79 +/- 4 degrees) were determined from the electrophoretic mobility of multimers of 21- 24-base pairs double-stranded oligonucleotides containing an interstrand cross-link in the central sequence d(TGCT/AGCA). The distorsions induced by the interstrand cross-link in the three 22-base pairs oligonucleotides d(TGCT/AGCA), d(AGCT/AGCT) and d(CGCT/AGCG) were compared by means of gel electrophoresis, circular dichroism, phenanthroline-copper footprinting and antibodies specifically directed against cis-DDP interstrand cross-links. The four different technical approaches indicate that the distorsions are independent of the chemical nature of the base pairs adjacent to the interstrand cross-link. The general conclusion is that the interstrand cross-link induces a bending and in particular an unwinding larger than other platinum adducts and the distorsions are independent of the nature of the bases (purine or pyrimidine) adjacent to the d(GC/GC) site.

Abstract
In the reaction between trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) and a single-stranded pyrimidin-rich oligodeoxyribonucleotide (22-mer) containing the central sequence TGAGT, the 1,3-trans-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GAG)]] cross-link is formed. The 1,3-intrastrand cross-link is inert within the single-stranded oligonucleotide. In contrast, it rearranges to an interstrand cross-link when the platinated oligonucleotide is paired with its complementary deoxyribo- or ribonucleotide strand. The half-life of the 1,3-intrastrand cross-link, approximately 6 h at 37 degrees C, is independent of the nature and concentration of the salt (NaCl or NaClO4). It is not dramatically affected when the intervening adenine residue between the chelated guanine residues is replaced by a cytosine or a thymine residue or when the T.A base pair adjacent to the 5' or 3' side of the adduct is replaced by a C.G base pair. On the other hand, a mismatch on the 3' or 5' side of the adduct prevents the rearrangement. We propose that the linkage isomerization reaction results from a direct nucleophilic attack of the cytosine residue complementary to the platinated 5' guanine residue on the platinum residue. Among others, the potential use of the DNA.RNA-promoted reaction is discussed in the context of the antisense strategy to irreversibly cross-link the antisense oligonucleotides to their targets.

Abstract
The UvrABC endonuclease from Escherichia coli repairs a broad spectrum of DNA lesions with variable efficiencies. The effectiveness of repair is influenced by the nature of the lesion, the local DNA sequence, and/or the topology of the DNA. To get a better understanding of the aspects of this multistep repair reaction that determine the effectiveness of repair, we compared the incision efficiencies of linear DNA fragments containing either a site-specific cis-[Pt(NH3)2(d(GpG)-N7(1),-N7(2)]] or a cis- Pt(NH3)2[d(GpCpG)-N7(1),-N7(3)]] adduct. Overall the DNA with the cis-PtGG adduct was incised about 3.5 times more efficiently than the cis-Pt.GCG-containing DNA. The rate of UvrB-DNA preincision complex formation for both lesions was similar and high in relation to the incision. DNase I footprints, however, showed that the local structure of the two preincision complexes is different. An assay was developed to measure the binding of UvrC to the preincision complexes and it was found that the binding rate of UvrC to the more slowly incised cis-Pt.GCG preincision complex was higher than to the cis-Pt.GG preincision complex. This most likely reflects a qualitative difference in preincision complex structures. For both lesions the binding of UvrC to the preincision complex was fast compared to the kinetics of actual incision. Apparently, direct incision of cisplatin damage requires an additional conformational change after the binding of UvrC.

Abstract
The DNA binding properties of cis- and trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)2] have been examined and compared with their NH3 analogs, cis- and trans-DDP. The presence of a planar ligand reduces the rates of DNA binding but does not greatly affect the overall conformation of CT DNA, as measured by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The sequence specificity of trans-[PtCl2(py)2] includes alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences. The sequence specificity is further different between the two pyridine isomers, and the steric effects of two cis-pyridine groups are demonstrated by the appearance of relatively few binding sites in the 49-bp duplex. The effects of the pyridine ligand are further manifested by a greatly enhanced DNA-DNA interstrand cross-linking efficiency for the trans isomer, with a cross-link per adduct frequency of between 0.14 and 0.23, depending on the rb of the sample. The unwinding of closed circular pUC19 DNA by trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)2] is also more efficient than that by either DDP isomer, with an unwinding angle calculated at phi = 17 degrees (compare cis-DDP with phi = 13 degrees and trans-DDP with phi = 9-10 degrees). In contrast, little unwinding is induced by cis-[PtCl2(pyridine)2], with phi = 4 degrees. These results in particular invert the standard cis/trans structure-activity relationships observed previously for [PtCl2(NH3)2]. The results are discussed with respect to the previously demonstrated effect of activation of the trans-platinum geometry using sterically hindered ligands.

Abstract
Two DNA restriction fragments containing either a d(GC)5 or a d(TTGCTTGATTAGTTGTGTT) insert were subjected to reaction with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) and were then used as templates for RNA synthesis by T7 RNA polymerase. Within the d(GC)5 insert, interstrand cross-links are preferentially formed. Within the second insert, the reactivity order of the potential binding sites is d(ApG) > d(GpC/GpC) = d(GpA) > d(GpTpG). In the presence of cyanide ions, the adducts are much less stable at the d(GpA) sites than at the d(GpCpG) sites, in double-stranded DNA.

Abstract
The mutagenicity and genotoxicity of cis-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GpG)-N7(1),-N7(2)]] (G*G*), the major DNA adduct of the antitumor drug cisplatin, has been investigated in Escherichia coli. A duplex bacteriophage M13 genome was constructed to contain the G*G* adduct at a specific site in the (-) strand. The singly platinated duplex genome exhibited a survival of 22% relative to that of the unplatinated control genomes, and this value rose to 38% in cells treated with ultraviolet light to induce the SOS response. Singly platinated single-stranded genomes were also produced. Replication of the single- and double-stranded genomes in vivo yielded SOS-dependent, targeted mutations at frequencies of 1.3% and 0.16%, respectively. The mutagenic specificity of G*G* in both single- and double-stranded DNA was striking in that 80-90% of the mutations occurred at the 5'-platinated G. Approximately 80% of the mutations were G-->T transversions at that site. A model of mutagenesis is presented to explain this mutational specificity with respect to current understanding of platinum-DNA adduct structure.

Abstract
Modification of DNA and double-stranded deoxyoligonucleotides with antitumour 1,2-diamino-cyclohexanedinitroplatinum(II) (Pt-dach) complexes was investigated with the aid of physico-chemical methods and chemical probes of nucleic acid conformation. The three Pt-dach complexes were used which differed in isomeric forms of the dach nonleaving ligand-Pt(1R,2R-dach), Pt(1S,2S-dach) and Pt(1R,2S-dach) complexes. The latter complex has lower antitumour activity than the other two Pt-dach complexes. Pt(1R,2S-dach) complex exhibits the slowest kinetics of its binding to DNA and of the conversion of monofunctional binding to bifunctional lesions. The anomalously slow electrophoretic mobility of multimers of the platinated and ligated oligomers suggests that bifunctional binding of Pt-dach complexes to a d(GG) site within double-stranded oligonucleotides induces bending of the oligomer. In addition, chemical probing of double-helical deoxyoligonucleotides modified by the Pt-dach complexes at the d(GG) sites reveals that Pt(1R,2S-dach) complex induces more extensive conformational changes in the oligomer than Pt(1R,2R-dach) and Pt(1S,2S-dach) complexes. It is proposed that different effects of the Pt-dach complexes on DNA observed in this work arise mainly from a steric crowding of the axially oriented cyclohexane ring in the DNA adduct of Pt(1R,2S-dach) complex.

Abstract
The DNA unwinding produced by specific adducts of the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) has been quantitatively determined. Synthetic DNA duplex oligonucleotides of varying lengths with two base pair cohesive ends were synthesized and characterized that contained site-specific intrastrand N7-purine/N7-purine cross-links. Included are cis-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GpG)]], cis-[Pt(NH3)2(d(ApG)]], and cis-[Pt(NH3)2[d(GpTpG)]] adducts, respectively referred to as cis-GG, cis-AG, and cis-GTG. Local DNA distortions at the site of platination were amplified by polymerization of these monomers and quantitatively evaluated by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The extent of DNA unwinding was determined by systematically varying the interplatinum distance, or phasing, in polymers containing the adducts. The multimer that migrates most slowly gives the optimal phasing for cooperative bending, from which the degree of unwinding can be obtained. We find that the cis-GG and cis-AG adducts both unwind DNA by 13 degrees, while the cis-GTG adduct unwinds DNA by 23 degrees. In addition, experiments are presented that support previous studies revealing that a hinge joint forms at the sites of platination in DNA molecules containing trans-GTG adducts. On the basis of an analysis of the present and other published studies of site-specifically modified DNA, we propose that local duplex unwinding is a major determinant in the recognition of DNA damage by the Escherichia coli (A)BC excinuclease. In addition, local duplex unwinding of 13 degrees and bending by 35 degrees are shown to correlate well with the recognition of platinated DNA by a previously identified damage recognition protein (DRP) in human cells.

Abstract
The DNA double helix exhibits local sequence-dependent polymorphism at the level of the single base pair and dinucleotide step. Curvature of the DNA molecule occurs in DNA regions with a specific type of nucleotide sequence periodicities. Negative supercoiling induces in vitro local nucleotide sequence-dependent DNA structures such as cruciforms, left-handed DNA, multistranded structures, etc. Techniques based on chemical probes have been proposed that make it possible to study DNA local structures in cells. Recent results suggest that the local DNA structures observed in vitro exist in the cell, but their occurrence and structural details are dependent on the DNA superhelical density in the cell and can be related to some cellular processes.
