Photoreaction of new psoralen analogs with DNA: sequence and mutation specificity in the Escherichia coli lacZ gene.

Abstract：

:New thio- and seleno-analogs of psoralen were synthesized and analyzed for their photoreactivity toward DNA. Using oligonucleotides of defined sequence, we first showed that these derivatives predominantly generated interstrand crosslinks at 5'-TpA sites. We also observed a surprisingly high reactivity of 7H-thiopyrano[3,2-f][1]benzofuran-7-one (PSO[O-S]) with the BamHI and PstI oligomers, giving rise to the formation of crosslinks at 5'-ApT sites and of the thymidine-psoralen-cytosine type. Next, the sequence specificity in the photochemical binding of all the compounds was investigated in two DNA fragments encompassing the lacZ gene of Escherichia coli, using the T4 DNA polymerase sequencing methodology. Resulting maps demonstrated that thio- and seleno-analogs of psoralen preferentially photoreacted with thymine and cytosine residues. The AT-rich sequences proved to be particularly reactive sites as did adjacent thymines, especially at C-surrounding residues. Likewise, photoaddition at cytosines in CA/AC context was observed. It was highly significant that all of the derivatives exhibited similar sequence specificities with only minor differences. However, PSO(O-S) differed from the other heteropsoralens. Photoadducts occurred with a higher frequency at AC and CA dinucleotides, and new sites were detected. A comparison with 8-methoxypsoralen photobinding is also reported. Finally, the mutagenic consequences of photoadducts induced in M13mp19 DNA by PSO(O-S) were determined in a forward system that detects all classes of mutagenic events. The high phototoxicity exhibited by PSO(O-S) could be attributed to crosslinks, and the comparison of the observed mutational specificity with the photoadduct distribution within the same gene showed that mutations were targeted at potential monoadduct sites where photolesions were detected in our footprinting experiments.
