    Abstract Anti-cancer agents exert therapeutic effects by damaging DNA. Unfortunately, DNA polymerases can effectively replicate the formed DNA lesions to cause drug resistance and create more aggressive cancers. To understand this process at the cellular level, we developed an artificial nucleoside that visualizes the replication of damaged DNA to identify cells that acquire drug resistance through this mechanism. Visualization is achieved using "click" chemistry to covalently attach azide-containing fluorophores to the ethynyl group present on the nucleoside analog after its incorporation opposite damaged DNA. Flow cytometry and microscopy techniques demonstrate that the extent of nucleotide incorporation into genomic DNA is enhanced by treatment with DNA damaging agents. In addition, this nucleoside analog inhibits translesion DNA synthesis and synergizes the therapeutic activity of certain anti-cancer agents such as temozolomide. The combined diagnostic and therapeutic activities of this synthetic nucleoside analog represent a new paradigm in personalized medicine.

    Abstract Persistent R-loops (RNA-DNA hybrids with a displaced single-stranded DNA) create DNA damage and lead to genomic instability. The 5'-3'-exoribonuclease 2 (XRN2) degrades RNA to resolve R-loops and promotes transcription termination. Previously, XRN2 was implicated in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair and in resolving replication stress. Here, using tandem affinity purification-mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, and biochemical approaches, we found that XRN2 associates with proteins involved in DNA repair/replication (Ku70-Ku80, DNA-PKcs, PARP1, MCM2-7, PCNA, RPA1) and RNA metabolism (RNA helicases, PRP19, p54(nrb), splicing factors). Novel major pathways linked to XRN2 include cell cycle control of chromosomal replication and DSB repair by non-homologous end joining. Investigating the biological implications of these interactions led us to discover that XRN2 depletion compromised cell survival after additional knockdown of specific DNA repair proteins, including PARP1. XRN2-deficient cells also showed enhanced PARP1 activity. Consistent with concurrent depletion of XRN2 and PARP1 promoting cell death, XRN2-deficient fibroblast and lung cancer cells also demonstrated sensitivity to PARP1 inhibition. XRN2 alterations (mutations, copy number/expression changes) are frequent in cancers. Thus, PARP1 inhibition could target cancers exhibiting XRN2 functional loss. Collectively, our data suggest XRN2's association with novel protein partners and unravel synthetic lethality between XRN2 depletion and PARP1 inhibition.

    Abstract Here, we utilize electrochemical DNA devices to quantify and understand the cancer-specific DNA-damaging activity of an emerging drug in cellular lysates at femtomolar and attomolar concentrations. Isobutyl-deoxynyboquinone (IB-DNQ), a potent and tumor-selective NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) bioactivatable drug, was prepared and biochemically verified in cancer cells highly expressing NQO1 (NQO1+) and knockdowns with low NQO1 expression (NQO1-) by Western blot, NQO1 activity analysis, survival assays, oxygen consumption rate, extracellular acidification rate, and peroxide production. Lysates from these cells and the IB-DNQ drug were then introduced to a chip system bearing an array of DNA-modified electrodes, and their DNA-damaging activity was quantified by changes in DNA-mediated electrochemistry arising from base-excision repair. Device-level controls of NQO1 activity and kinetic analysis were used to verify and further understand the IB-DNQ activity. A 380 aM IB-DNQ limit of detection and a 1.3 fM midpoint of damage were observed in NQO1+ lysates, both metrics 2 orders of magnitude lower than NQO1- lysates, indicating the high IB-DNQ potency and selectivity for NQO1+ cancers. The device-level damage midpoint concentration in NQO1+ lysates was over 8 orders of magnitude lower than cell survival benchmarks, likely due to poor IB-DNQ cellular uptake, demonstrating that these devices can identify promising drugs requiring improved cell permeability. Ultimately, these results indicate the noteworthy potency and selectivity of IB-DNQ and the high sensitivity and precision of electrochemical DNA devices to analyze agents/drugs involved in DNA-damaging chemotherapies.

    Abstract This report describes the use of several isosteric non-natural nucleotides as probes to evaluate the roles of nucleobase shape, size, solvation energies, and π-electron interactions as forces influencing key kinetic steps of the DNA polymerization cycle. Results are provided using representative high- and low-fidelity DNA polymerases. Results generated with the E. coli Klenow fragment reveal that this high-fidelity polymerase utilizes hydrophobic nucleotide analogues with higher catalytic efficiencies compared to hydrophilic analogues. These data support a major role for nucleobase desolvation during nucleotide selection and insertion. In contrast, the low-fidelity HIV-1 reverse transcriptase discriminates against hydrophobic analogues and only tolerates non-natural nucleotides that are capable of hydrogen-bonding or π-stacking interactions. Surprisingly, hydrophobic analogues that function as efficient substrates for the E. coli Klenow fragment behave as noncompetitive or uncompetitive inhibitors against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. In these cases, the mode of inhibition depends upon the absence or presence of a templating nucleobase. Molecular modeling studies suggest that these analogues bind to the active site of reverse transcriptase as well as to a nearby hydrophobic binding pocket. Collectively, the studies using these non-natural nucleotides reveal important mechanistic differences between representative high- and low-fidelity DNA polymerases during nucleotide selection and incorporation.

    Abstract Nearly every DNA polymerase characterized to date exclusively catalyzes the incorporation of mononucleotides into a growing primer using a DNA or RNA template as a guide to direct each incorporation event. There is, however, one unique DNA polymerase designated terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase that performs DNA synthesis using only single-stranded DNA as the nucleic acid substrate. In this chapter, we review the biological role of this enigmatic DNA polymerase and the biochemical mechanism for its ability to perform DNA synthesis in the absence of a templating strand. We compare and contrast the molecular events for template-independent DNA synthesis catalyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase with other well-characterized DNA polymerases that perform template-dependent synthesis. This includes a quantitative inspection of how terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase binds DNA and dNTP substrates, the possible involvement of a conformational change that precedes phosphoryl transfer, and kinetic steps that are associated with the release of products. These enzymatic steps are discussed within the context of the available structures of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase in the presence of DNA or nucleotide substrate. In addition, we discuss the ability of proteins involved in replication and recombination to regulate the activity of the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. Finally, the biomedical role of this specialized DNA polymerase is discussed focusing on its involvement in cancer development and its use in biomedical applications such as labeling DNA for detecting apoptosis.

    Abstract Ionizing radiation (IR) creates lethal DNA damage that can effectively kill tumor cells. However, the high dose required for a therapeutic outcome also damages healthy tissue. Thus, a therapeutic strategy with predictive biomarkers to enhance the beneficial effects of IR allowing a dose reduction without losing efficacy is highly desirable. NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is overexpressed in the majority of recalcitrant solid tumors in comparison with normal tissue. Studies have shown that NQO1 can bioactivate certain quinone molecules (e.g., ortho-naphthoquinone and β-lapachone) to induce a futile redox cycle leading to the formation of oxidative DNA damage, hyperactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), and catastrophic depletion of NAD

    Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of childhood cancer, presenting with approximately 5,000 new cases each year in the United States. An interesting enzyme implicated in this disease is terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), a specialized DNA polymerase involved in V(D)J recombination. TdT is an excellent biomarker for ALL as it is overexpressed in ~90% of ALL patients, and these higher levels correlate with a poor prognosis. These collective features make TdT an attractive target to design new selective anti-cancer agents against ALL. In this report, we evaluate the anti-leukemia activities of two non-natural nucleotides designated 5-nitroindolyl-2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphate (5-NITP) and 3-ethynyl-5-nitroindolyl-2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphate (3-Eth-5-NITP). Using purified TdT, we demonstrate that both non-natural nucleotides are efficiently utilized as TdT substrates. However, 3-Eth-5-NITP is poorly elongated, and this observation validates its activity as a chain-terminator for blunt-end DNA synthesis. Cell-based experiments validate that the corresponding non-natural nucleoside produces robust cytostatic and cytotoxic effects against leukemia cells that overexpress TdT. The strategic placement of the ethynyl moiety allows the incorporated nucleoside triphosphate to be selectively tagged with an azide-containing fluorophore via "click" chemistry. This reaction allows the extent of nucleotide incorporation to be quantified such that the anti-cancer effects of the corresponding non-natural nucleoside can be self-assessed. The applications of this novel nucleoside are discussed, focusing on its use as a "theranostic" agent that can improve the accuracy of dosing regimens and accelerate clinical decisions regarding therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract The misreplication of damaged DNA is an important biological process that produces numerous adverse effects on human health. This report describes the synthesis and characterization of a non-natural nucleotide, designated 3-ethynyl-5-nitroindolyl-2'-deoxyriboside triphosphate (3-Eth-5-NITP), as a novel chemical reagent that can probe and quantify the misreplication of damaged DNA. We demonstrate that this non-natural nucleotide is efficiently inserted opposite an abasic site, a commonly formed and potentially mutagenic non-instructional DNA lesion. The strategic placement of the ethynyl moiety allows the incorporated nucleoside triphosphate to be selectively tagged with an azide-containing fluorophore using 'click' chemistry. This reaction provides a facile way to quantify the extent of nucleotide incorporation opposite non-instructional DNA lesions. In addition, the incorporation of 3-Eth-5-NITP is highly selective for an abasic site, and occurs even in the presence of a 50-fold molar excess of natural nucleotides. The biological applications of using 3-Eth-5-NITP as a chemical probe to monitor and quantify the misreplication of non-instructional DNA lesions are discussed.
