A disulfide cross-linking strategy was used to
covalently trap as a stable complex (complex N) a short-lived, kinetic
intermediate in DNA polymerization. This intermediate corresponds to
the product of polymerization prior to translocation. We also prepared
the trapped complex that corresponds to the product of polymerization after translocation (complex P). The cross-linking method that we used
is a variation of a technique developed by the Verdine and
Harrison laboratories. It involves disulfide interchange between an
engineered sulfhydryl group of the protein (Q258C mutation) and a
disulfide-containing tether attached at the N2
amino group of a modified dG in either the template or the primer strand of the nucleic acid. We report here a highly efficient synthesis
of the precursor, bis(3-aminopropyl)disulfide dihydrochloride, used to
introduce this substituent into the oligonucleotide. Efficient cross-linking takes place when the base pair containing the substituent is positioned seven registers from the dNTP-binding site (N site) and
the N site is occupied. Complex N, but not complex P, is a substrate
for the ATP-based excision reaction that unblocks nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-terminated primers and causes resistance to several NRTIs, confirming predictions that the
excision reaction takes place only when the 3'-end of the primer is
bound at the N site. These techniques can be used for biochemical and
structural studies of the mechanism of DNA polymerization, translocation, and excision-based resistance of RT to NRTIs. They may
also be useful in studying other DNA or RNA polymerases or other enzymes.
