The toxicity of acrolein, an alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde produced during lipid peroxidation, is attributable to its high reactivity toward DNA and cellular proteins. The major acrolein-DNA adduct, gamma-hydroxypropano-2'-deoxyguanosine (gamma-HOPdG), ring opens to form a reactive N(2)-oxopropyl moiety that cross-links to DNA and proteins. We demonstrate the ability of gamma-HOPdG in a duplex oligonucleotide to cross-link to a protein (EcoRI) that specifically interacts with DNA at a unique sequence. The formation of a cross-link to EcoRI was dependent on the intimate binding of the enzyme to its gamma-HOPdG-modified recognition site. Interestingly, the cross-link did not restrict the ability of EcoRI to cleave DNA substrates. However, stabilization of the cross-link by reduction of the Schiff base linkage resulted in loss of enzyme activity. This work indicates that the gamma-HOPdG-EcoRI cross-link is in equilibrium with free oligonucleotide and enzyme. Reversal of cross-link formation allows EcoRI to effect enzymatic cleavage of competitor oligonucleotides.
丙烯醛是脂质过氧化过程中产生的一种α,β-不饱和醛,其毒性归因于它对DNA和细胞蛋白质的高反应活性。主要的丙烯醛-DNA加合物γ-羟基丙基-2'-脱氧鸟苷(γ-HOPdG)会发生环开环反应,形成一个可与DNA和蛋白质交联的反应性N(2)-氧代丙基部分。我们证明了双链寡核苷酸中的γ-HOPdG能够与一种在特定序列与DNA特异性相互作用的蛋白质(EcoRI)发生交联。与EcoRI的交联形成取决于该酶与其γ-HOPdG修饰的识别位点的紧密结合。有趣的是,这种交联并不限制EcoRI切割DNA底物的能力。然而,通过还原席夫碱连接来稳定交联会导致酶活性丧失。这项工作表明γ-HOPdG-EcoRI交联与游离寡核苷酸和酶处于平衡状态。交联形成的逆转使EcoRI能够对竞争寡核苷酸进行酶切。
