Correlation between Sequence-dependent Glycosylase Repair and the Thermal Stability of Oligonucleotide Duplexes Containing 1,N6-Ethenoadenine

Previous experiments on DNA sequence context reported that base modification, replication, and repair are affected by the nature of neighbor bases. We now report that repair by mammalian alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylases (APNG) of 15-mer oligonucleotides with a central 1,N6-ethenoadenine (epsilon A), flanked by 5' and 3' tandem bases, is also highly sequence dependent. Oligonucleotides with the central sequences -GGepsilon AGG- or -CCepsilon ACC- are repaired 3-5-fold more efficiently than those containing -AAepsilon AAA- or -TTepsilon ATT- when using human or mouse APNG. Melting curves of the same duplexes showed that oligomers with G·C/C·G neighbors were less denatured than those with A·T/T·A neighbors at 37 °C. This sequence-dependent difference in denaturation correlates with the relative thermodynamic stability of oligomers with G·C/C·G or A·T/T·A neighbors. The dependence of repair on thermal stability was confirmed by enzyme reactions performed over 0-45 °C. Under these conditions, repair of epsilon A flanked by G·C/C·G was dramatically increased at 37 °C with continuous increase up to 45 °C, in contrast to that with flanking A·T/T·A pairs, which was in agreement with the degree of denaturation of these duplexes. These results indicate that the thermodynamic stability conferred by base pairs flanking epsilon A plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the duplex structure which is necessary for repair.
