Abstract
Previous work has shown that Sulfolobus solfataricus DNA polymerase Dpo4-catalyzed bypass of O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)-MeG) proceeds largely in an accurate but inefficient manner with a "wobble" base pairing between C and O(6)-MeG (Eoff, R. L., Irimia, A., Egli, M., and Guengerich, F. P. (2007) J. Biol. Chem. 282, 1456-1467). We considered here the bulky lesion O(6)-benzylguanine (O(6)-BzG) in DNA and catalysis by Dpo4. Mass spectrometry analysis of polymerization products revealed that the enzyme bypasses and extends across from O(6)-BzG, with C the major product ( approximately 70%) and some T and A ( approximately 15% each) incorporated opposite the lesion. Steady-state kinetic parameters indicated that Dpo4 was 7-, 5-, and 27-fold more efficient at C incorporation opposite O(6)-BzG than T, A, or G, respectively. In transient state kinetic analysis, the catalytic efficiency was decreased 62-fold for C incorporation opposite O(6)-BzG relative to unmodified DNA. Crystal structures reveal wobble pairing between C and O(6)-BzG. Pseudo-"Watson-Crick" pairing was observed between T and O(6)-BzG. Two other structures illustrate a possible mechanism for the accommodation of a +1 frameshift in the Dpo4 active site. The overall effect of O(6)-BzG is to decrease the efficiency of bypass by roughly an order of magnitude in every case except correct bypass, where the effect is not as pronounced. By comparison, Dpo4 is more accurate but no more efficient than model replicative polymerases, such as bacteriophage T7(-) DNA polymerase and human immunodeficiency virus-1 reverse transcriptase in the polymerization past O(6)-MeG and O(6)-BzG.

FIGURE 7. Comparison of primer ddC orientations in the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 and O^6-BzG:ddC-2 structures and a view of the O^6-BzG:G active site. A, stereo view of the superimposed (r.m.s. deviation = 0.344) O^6-BzG:ddC-1 (Dpo4 (light blue) and nucleotides and ions (dark blue)) and O^6-BzG:ddC-2 (Dpo4, ions, and nucleotides (orange)) structures. Dpo4 is shown in schematic diagram form for both structures. The incoming dGTP (magenta) from the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 structure is shown in ball and stick form. The 14th nucleotide (dark blue, ddC) from the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 structure forms a wobble pair with O^6-BzG, but the 14th nucleotide (orange, ddC) from the O^6-BzG:ddC-2 ternary complex is moved into a noninstructional conformation. B, stereo view of the O^6-BzG:G active site. Dpo4 (light blue) is shown in schematic diagram form. The last two primer residues, p14C and p15G, and the O^6-BzG lesion are shown in ball and stick form (dark blue). The 14th base in the primer, p14C, is placed in a conformation similar to that observed in the O^6-BzG:ddC-2 structure. The calcium ions (light brown) and incoming dGTP (magenta) are also shown.

FIGURE 8. View of the O^6-BzG:T active site superimposed on the wobble O^6-BzG:ddC-1 pair. A, stereo view of the active site from the O^6-BzG:T ternary complex is shown superimposed on the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 structure (r.m.s. deviation = 0.390) with Dpo4 in schematic diagram form (O^6-BzG:T (ruby), O^6-BzG: ddC-1 (light blue)). The O^6-BzG:T pair is shown with cyan carbon atoms, and the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 wobble pair is shown with dark blue carbon atoms. The O^6-BzG:T calcium ions are red, and the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 calcium ions are dark blue. The incoming dGTP from the O^6-BzG:T structure is shown in ball and stick form (magenta). B, the p14T residue (cyan carbon atoms) is shifted up in the active site relative to p14ddC-1 (dark blue carbon atoms), and the benzyl group in the O^6-BzG:T structure is shifted slightly toward the proximal orientation.
