Selective Incision of the alpha-N-Methyl-Formamidopyrimidine Anomer by Escherichia coli Endonuclease IV.
Formamidopyrimidines (Fapy) lesions result from ring opening of the imidazole portion of purines. Fapy lesions can isomerize from the natural beta-anomeric stereochemistry to the alpha-configuration. We have unambiguously demonstrated that the alpha-methyl-Fapy-dG (MeFapy-dG) lesion is a substrate for Escherichia coli Endonuclease IV (Endo IV). Treatment of a MeFapy-dG-containing 24 mer duplex with Endo IV resulted in 36-40% incision. The catalytic efficiency of the incision was comparable to that of alpha-dG in the same duplex sequence. The alpha- and beta-MeFapy-dG anomers equilibrate to ~21 : 79 ratio over ~3 days. Related studies with a duplex containing the alpha-Fapy-dG lesion derived from aflatoxin B(1) epoxide (alpha-AFB-Fapy-dG) showed only low levels of incision. It is hypothesized that the steric bulk of the aflatoxin moiety interferes with the binding of the substrate to Endo IV and the incision chemistry.
