Abstract
Vaccinia DNA topoisomerase forms a covalent DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate at a specific target site 5'-C(+5)C(+4)C(+3)T(+2)T(+1)p downward arrow N(-1) in duplex DNA. Here we study the effects of abasic lesions at individual positions of the scissile and nonscissile strands on the rate of single-turnover DNA transesterification and the cleavage-religation equilibrium. The rate of DNA incision was reduced by factors of 350, 250, 60, and 10 when abasic sites replaced the -1N, +1T, +2T, and +4C bases of the scissile strand, but abasic lesions at +5C and +3C had little or no effect. Abasic lesions in the nonscissile strand in lieu of +4G, +3G, +2A, and +1A reduced the rate of cleavage by factors of 130, 150, 10, and 5, whereas abasic lesions at +5G and -1N had no effect. The striking positional asymmetry of abasic interference on the scissile and nonscissile strands highlights the importance of individual bases, not base pairs, in promoting DNA cleavage. The rate of single-turnover DNA religation by the covalent topoisomerase-DNA complex was insensitive to abasic sites within the CCCTT sequence of the scissile strand, but an abasic lesion at the 5'-OH nucleoside (-1N) of the attacking DNA strand slowed the rate of reli...Continue Reading
