PubMed Abstract: The DNA adduct 6-oxo-MdG, (3-(2'-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-6-oxo-pyrimido(1,2alpha)purin-10(3H)-one) is formed in the genome via oxidation of the peroxidation-derived adduct MdG. However, the effect of 6-oxo-MdG adducts on subsequent DNA replication is unclear. Here we investigated the ability of the human Y-family polymerase hPol η to bypass 6-oxo-MdG. Using steady-state kinetics and analysis of DNA extension products by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we found hPol η preferentially inserts a dAMP or dGMP nucleotide into primer-templates across from the 6-oxo-MdG adduct, with dGMP being slightly preferred. We also show primer-templates with a 3'-terminal dGMP or dAMP across from 6-oxo-MdG were extended to a greater degree than primers with a dCMP or dTMP across from the adduct. In addition, we explored the structural basis for bypass of 6-oxo-MdG by hPol η using X-ray crystallography of both an insertion-stage and an extension-stage complex. In the insertion-stage complex, we observed that the incoming dCTP opposite 6-oxo-MdG, although present during crystallization, was not present in the active site. We found the adduct does not interact with residues in the hPol η active site but rather forms stacking interactions with the base pair immediately 3' to the adduct. In the extension-stage complex, we observed the 3' hydroxyl group of the primer strand dGMP across from 6-oxo-MdG is not positioned correctly to form a phosphodiester bond with the incoming dCTP. Taken together, these results indicate 6-oxo-MdG forms a strong block to DNA replication by hPol η and provide a structural basis for its blocking ability.
