High-efficiency triple-helix-mediated photo-cross-linking at a targeted site within a selectable mammalian gene.

Abstract:

:Targeting damage to specific sites in the genome represents an attractive approach to manipulating gene function in mammalian cells. To test the applicability of triple-helix formation as a means for achieving precisely timed site-specific damage within a mammalian gene, a triplex-forming oligodeoxyribonucleotide (TFO) that binds with high affinity to a specific site within the hamster adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) gene was modified with the photochemically reactive psoralen derivative 4'-(hydroxymethyl)-4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen (HMT). The modified TFO, psorTFO1, bound with high affinity to a target site within intron 1 of the APRT gene. Upon irradiation, photomonoadducts (i.e., covalent adducts of psorTFO1 to one strand of the target duplex) were formed with high efficiency (approximately 50%). Introduction of 5'-TpA sequences (the preferred site for psoralen-induced photo-cross-links) at or near the triplex junction leads to increased efficiency of total photoadduct formation and to efficient formation of products that had the electrophoretic mobility on denaturing PAGE expected for three-stranded photo-cross-links (i.e., products containing psorTFO1 covalently linked to both strands of the duplex). Their identities as cross-links were verified by (1) identical electrophoretic mobility of products formed with either duplex strand radiolabeled and (2) coprecipitation of the radiolabeled duplex strand with its complementary biotinylated strand following denaturation. In addition, the cross-links were completely reversible upon irradiation at 254 nm, as expected for psoralen-mediated cross-links. The yield and distribution of photoadducts depended on 5'-TpA position. The most efficient photoadduct formation (approximately 90%) and photo-cross-link formation (approximately 90% of total photoadducts) were observed for a 5'-TpA adjacent to the triplex junction, with significant, but lower, cross-linking efficiency within three base pairs of the junction. Molecular models of the psoralen-conjugated triplex with its six-carbon linker suggested a simple explanation for this distance dependence: facile intercalation near the triplex/duplex junction, with increasing strain required for intercalation at more distant sites. These results indicate that psorTFO1 allows for DNA damage with high precision and high efficiency, and the likely proportion of monoadducts and cross-links can be estimated from the target sequence.
