Abstract
All four iodinated 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) derived from 5-iodouracil, 5-iodocytosine, 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine and 7-iodo-7-deazaguanine were prepared and studied as substrates for KOD XL DNA polymerase. All of the nucleotides were readily incorporated by primer extension and by PCR amplification to form DNA containing iodinated nucleobases. Systematic study of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with two bulkier arylboronic acids revealed that the 5-iodopyrimidines were more reactive and gave cross-coupling products both in the terminal or internal position in single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssONs) and in the terminal position of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), whereas the 7-iodo-7-deazapurines were less reactive and gave cross-coupling products only in the terminal position. None of the four iodinated bases reacted in an internal position of dsDNA. These findings are useful for the use of the iodinated nucleobases for post-synthetic modification of DNA with functional groups for various applications.

Abstract
Restricion endonuclease Ecl18kI is specific for the sequence /CCNGG and cleaves it before the outer C to generate 5 nt 5'-overhangs. It has been suggested that Ecl18kI is evolutionarily related to NgoMIV, a 6-bp cutter that cleaves the sequence G/CCGGC and leaves 4 nt 5'-overhangs. Here, we report the crystal structure of the Ecl18kI-DNA complex at 1.7 A resolution and compare it with the known structure of the NgoMIV-DNA complex. We find that Ecl18kI flips both central nucleotides within the CCNGG sequence and buries the extruded bases in pockets within the protein. Nucleotide flipping disrupts Watson-Crick base pairing, induces a kink in the DNA and shifts the DNA register by 1 bp, making the distances between scissile phosphates in the Ecl18kI and NgoMIV cocrystal structures nearly identical. Therefore, the two enzymes can use a conserved DNA recognition module, yet recognize different sequences, and form superimposable dimers, yet generate different cleavage patterns. Hence, Ecl18kI is the first example of a restriction endonuclease that flips nucleotides to achieve specificity for its recognition site.

Abstract
Specific protein-nucleic acid interactions are of paramount importance for the propagation, maintenance and expression of genetic information. Restriction endonucleases serve as model systems to study the mechanisms of DNA recognition by proteins. SsoII is a Type II restriction endonuclease that recognizes the double stranded sequence downward arrow CCNGG and cleaves it in the presence of Mg(2+)-ions, as indicated. SsoII shows sequence similarity over a stretch of approximately 70 amino acid residues with several other restriction endonucleases that recognize a similar sequence as SsoII (Cfr10I, EcoRII, NgoMIV, PspGI). In NgoMIV this stretch is involved in DNA recognition and cleavage, as shown by the crystal structure analysis of an enzyme-product complex. To find out whether the presumptive DNA recognition region in SsoII is indeed in contact with DNA we have photocrosslinked SsoII with an oligodeoxyribonucleotide in which the first guanine of the recognition sequence was replaced by 5-iodouracil. Following digestion by trypsin, the peptide-oligodeoxyribonucleotide conjugate was purified by Fe(3+)-IMAC and then incubated with hydrogen fluoride, which hydrolyzes the oligodeoxyribonucleotide to yield the peptide-deoxyuridine conjugate. The site of photocrosslinking was identified by MALDI-TOF-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS/MS to be Trp189, adjacent to Arg188, which aligns with Arg194 in NgoMIV, involved in recognition of the second guanine in the NgoMIV recognition sequence G downward arrow CCGGC. This result confirms previously published conclusions drawn on the basis of a mutational analysis of SsoII. The methodology that was employed here can be used in principle to identify the DNA binding site of any protein.

Abstract
Photochemical crosslinking is a method for studying the molecular details of protein-nucleic acid interactions. In this study, we describe a novel strategy to localize crosslinked amino acid residues that combines laser-induced photocrosslinking, proteolytic digestion, Fe3+-IMAC (immobilized metal affinity chromatography) purification of peptide-oligodeoxynucleotide heteroconjugates and hydrolysis of oligodeoxynucleotides by hydrogen fluoride (HF), with efficient matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The new method is illustrated by the identification of the DNA-binding site of the restriction endonuclease MboI. Photoactivatable 5-iododeoxyuridine was incorporated into a single site within the DNA recognition sequence (GATC) of MboI. Ultraviolet irradiation of the protein-DNA complex with a helium/cadmium laser at 325 nm resulted in 15% crosslinking yield. Proteolytic digestion with different proteases produced various peptide-oligodeoxynucleotide adducts that were purified together with free oligodeoxynucleotide by Fe3+-IMAC. A combination of MS analysis of the peptide-nucleosides obtained after hydrolysis by HF and their fragmentation by MS/MS revealed that Lys209 of MboI was crosslinked to the MboI recognition site at the position of the adenine, demonstrating that the region around Lys209 is involved in specific binding of MboI to its DNA substrate. This method is suitable for the fast identification of the site of contact between proteins and nucleic acids starting from picomole quantities of crosslinked complexes.

Abstract
Restriction endonucleases have become a fundamental tool of molecular biology with many commercial vendors and extensive product lines. While a significant amount has been learned about restriction enzyme diversity, genomic organization, and mechanism, these continue to be active areas of research and assist in classification efforts. More recently, one focus has been their exquisite specificity for the proper recognition sequence and the lack of homology among enzymes recognizing the same DNA sequence. Some questions also remain regarding in vivo function. Site-directed mutagenesis and fusion proteins based on known endonucleases show promise for custom-designed cleavage. An understanding of the enzymes and their properties can improve their productive application by maintaining critical digest parameters and enhancing or avoiding alternative activities.

Abstract
We used a XeCl excimer laser with 50 ns pulses, a frequency of 0.3 Hz and a wavelength of 308 nm in appropriate conditions for the photocrosslinking of EcoRII restriction endonuclease to a 14-mer DNA duplex, containing a 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine residue (IdU). IdU replaced the thymidine residue within the EcoRII recognition sequence 5'-CCT/AGG. The binding of EcoRII endonuclease to the IdU-containing DNA duplex was analyzed by gel retardation assay in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions. Photocrosslinking of EcoRII to the IdU-containing DNA duplex occurred in a pre-reactive complex formed in the presence of Ca2+ ions. Photocrosslinking yields as a function of time and UV-laser light intensity were studied.

Abstract
The type II restriction endonuclease SsoII shows sequence similarity with 10 other restriction endonucleases, among them the type IIE restriction endonuclease EcoRII, which requires binding to an effector site for efficient DNA cleavage, and the type IIF restriction endonuclease NgoMIV, which is active as a homotetramer and cleaves DNA with two recognition sites in a concerted reaction. We show here that SsoII is an orthodox type II enzyme, which is active as a homodimer and does not require activation by binding to an effector site. Nevertheless, it shares with EcoRII and NgoMIV a very similar DNA-binding site and catalytic center as shown here by a mutational analysis, indicative of an evolutionary relationship between these three enzymes. We suggest that a similar relationship exists between other orthodox type II, type IIE, and type IIF restriction endonucleases. This may explain why similarities may be more pronounced between members of different subtypes of restriction enzymes than among the members of a given subtype.

Abstract
The EcoRII homodimer engages two of its recognition sequences (5'-CCWGG) simultaneously and is therefore a type IIE restriction endonuclease. To identify the amino acids of EcoRII that interact specifically with the recognition sequence, we photocross-linked EcoRII with oligonucleotide substrates that contained only one recognition sequence for EcoRII. In this recognition sequence, we substituted either 5-iododeoxycytidine for each C or 5-iododeoxyuridine for A, G, or T. These iodo-pyrimidine bases were excited using a UV laser to result in covalent cross-linking products. The yield of EcoRII photocross-linked to the 5'-C of the 5'-CCAGG strand of the recognition sequence was 45%. However, we could not photocross-link EcoRII to the 5'-C of the 5'-CCTGG strand. Thus, the contact of EcoRII to the bases of the recognition sequence appears to be asymmetric, unlike that expected for most type II restriction endonucleases. Tryptic digestion of free and of cross-linked EcoRII, followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation of the individual peptides and Edman degradation, identified amino acids 25-49 of EcoRII as the cross-linking peptide. Mutational analysis of the electron-rich amino acids His(36) and Tyr(41) of this peptide indicates that Tyr(41) is the amino acid involved in the cross-link and that it therefore contributes to specific DNA recognition by EcoRII.

Abstract
Protein-nucleic acid complexes are commonly studied by photochemical cross-linking. UV-induced cross-linking of protein to nucleic acid may be followed by structural analysis of the conjugated protein to localize the cross-linked amino acids and thereby identify the nucleic acid binding site. Mass spectrometry is becoming increasingly popular for characterization of purified peptide-nucleic acid heteroconjugates derived from UV cross-linked protein-nucleic acid complexes. The efficiency of mass spectrometry-based methods is, however, hampered by the contrasting physico-chemical properties of nucleic acid and peptide entities present in such heteroconjugates. Sample preparation of the peptide-nucleic acid heteroconjugates is, therefore, a crucial step in any mass spectrometry-based analytical procedure. This study demonstrates the performance of four different MS-based strategies to characterize E. coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) that was UV-cross-linked to a 5-iodouracil containing DNA oligomer. Two methods were optimized to circumvent the need for standard liquid chromatography and gel electrophoresis, thereby dramatically increasing the overall sensitivity of the analysis. Enzymatic degradation of protein and oligonucleotide was combined with miniaturized sample preparation methods for enrichment and desalting of cross-linked peptide-nucleic acid heteroconjugates from complex mixtures prior to mass spectrometric analysis. Detailed characterization of the peptidic component of two different peptide-DNA heteroconjugates was accomplished by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry and allowed assignment of tryptophan-54 and tryptophan-88 as candidate cross-linked residues. Sequencing of those peptide-DNA heteroconjugates by nanoelectrospray quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry identified tryptophan-54 and tryptophan-88 as the sites of cross-linking. Although the UV-cross-linking yield of the protein-DNA complex did not exceed 15%, less than 100 pmole of SSB protein was required for detailed structural analysis by mass spectrometry.
