Altered electrophoretic migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and styrene oxide adducts at adenine N(6) correlates with adduct-induced structural disorder.
Site-specific bay region benzo[a]pyrene (7R,8S,9R,10S)-N(6)-[10-(7,8, 9,10-tetrahydro-7,8,9-trihydroxybenzo[a]pyrenyl)]-2'-deoxyadeno syl, (7S,8R,9S,10R)-N(6)-[10-(7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,8, 9-trihydroxybenzo[a]pyrenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl, (7S,8R,9R, 10S)-N(6)-[10-(7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,8, 9-trihydroxybenzo[a]pyrenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl, and (7R,8S,9S, 10R)-N(6)-[10-(7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,8, 9-trihydroxybenzo[a]pyrenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl adducts, bay region benz[a]anthracene (1R,2S,3R,4S)-N(6)-[1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3, 4-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl and (1S,2R,3S, 4R)-N(6)-[1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3, 4-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl adducts, non-bay region benz[a]anthracenyl (8S,9R,10S,11R)-N(6)-[11-(8,9,10, 11-tetrahydro-8,9,10-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-de oxyadenosyl and (8R,9S,10R,11S)-N(6)-[11-(8,9,10,11-tetrahydro-8,9, 10-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl adducts, and the R- and S-adducts of styrene oxide were located in the ras61 oligodeoxynucleotide and examined with respect to electrophoretic mobility. The results were compared to NMR structural data, and to site-specific mutagenesis data and in vitro DNA replication assays for the same adducts. There was a correlation between adducts having lower electrophoretic mobility and greater disorder at the adduct site as monitored by NMR. The disorder combined with the lower electrophoretic mobilities suggested that these adducts induced flexible hinge joints in the DNA rather than static bending. Usually, these were adenine N(6) adducts having S-stereochemistry at the benzylic carbon. The results also revealed a possible role for the bay region ring in stabilizing adenyl N(6) benz[a]anthracene adducts with respect to hinging at the adduct site. On the other hand, there was not a simple relationship between altered electrophoretic mobility and mutagenesis or DNA replication.
