Abstract
Oxidative damage to DNA generates 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). During DNA replication and repair synthesis, 8-oxodG can pair with cytosine or adenine. The ability to accurately replicate through this lesion depends on the DNA polymerase. We report the first structure of a polymerase with a promutagenic DNA lesion, 8-oxodG, in the confines of its active site. The modified guanine residue is in an anti conformation and forms Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds with an incoming dCTP. To accommodate the oxygen at C8, the 5'-phosphate backbone of the templating nucleotide flips 180 degrees. Thus, the flexibility of the template sugar-phosphate backbone near the polymerase active site is one parameter that influences the anti-syn equilibrium of 8-oxodG. Our results provide insights into the mechanisms employed by polymerases to select the complementary dNTP.

Figure 3. DNA Polymerase b Ternary Complex with 8-OxodG-dCTP(A) 2F[o] - F[c] electron density map contoured at 1 s (black), superimposed on the refined model. Additionally, a difference map was calculated, omitting O8 and contoured at 3.3 s. Negative density (red) is visible at the 8-oxy position of the template base, demonstrating unbiased evidence of the presence of the additional oxygen. The ternary complex with an 8-oxodG template base is very similar to the previously determined ternary complex containing undamaged deoxyguanine paired with ddCTP [12]. The modified guanine is in the standard anti conformation, and dCTP is bound with a coordinating Mg2+ atom (data not shown).(B) Comparison of the 5'-phosphate backbone conformation of 8-oxodG relative to that observed in the structure of pol b with an unmodified deoxyguanine in the polymerase active site (orange) [12]. The presence of the sharp bend along with limited enzyme contacts with this phosphate enables flipping of the phosphate away from the carbonyl oxygen at C8 of 8-oxodG. The backbone a torsion angle (O3'-P-O5'-C5') of the templating guanine is altered 184° when a carbonyl group is introduced at C8. In addition, the Lys280 side chain position, but not that of Asp276, is altered in the presence of 8-oxodG.
