Translesion Synthesis Past the C8- and <i>N</i><sup>2</sup>-Deoxyguanosine Adducts of the Dietary Mutagen 2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-<i>f</i>]quinoline in the <i>Nar</i>I Recognition Sequence by Prokaryotic DNA Polymerases 2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-<i>f</i>]quinoline (IQ) is found in cooked meats and forms DNA adducts at the C8- and <i>N</i><sup>2</sup>-positions of dGuo after appropriate activation. IQ is a potent inducer of frameshift mutations in bacteria and is carcinogenic in laboratory animals. We have incorporated both IQ-adducts into the G<sub>1</sub>- and G<sub>3</sub>-positions of the <i>Nar</i>I recognition sequence (5‘-G<sub>1</sub>G<sub>2</sub>CG<sub>3</sub>CC-3‘), which is a hotspot for arylamine modification. The in vitro replication of the oligonucleotides was examined with <i>Escherichia coli</i> pol I Klenow fragment exo<sup>-</sup>, <i>E. coli</i> pol II exo<sup>-</sup>, and <i>Sulfolobus solfataricus</i> P2 DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4), and the extension products were sequenced by tandem mass spectrometry. Replication of the C8-adduct at the G<sub>3</sub>-position resulted in two-base deletions with all three polymerases, whereas error-free bypass and extension was observed at the G<sub>1</sub>-position. The <i>N</i><sup>2</sup>-adduct was bypassed and extended by all three polymerases when positioned at the G<sub>1</sub>-position, and the error-free product was observed. The <i>N</i><sup>2</sup>-adduct at the G<sub>3</sub>-position was more blocking and was bypassed and extended only by Dpo4 to produce an error-free product. These results indicate that the replication of the IQ-adducts of dGuo is strongly influenced by the local sequence and the regioisomer of the adduct. These results also suggest a possible role for pol II and IV in the error-prone bypass of the C8-IQ-adduct leading to frameshift mutations in reiterated sequences, whereas noniterated sequences result in error-free bypass. tandem mass spectrometry;dGuo;Dpo;1G;noniterated sequences result;extension;frameshift mutations;Escherichia coli pol;Sulfolobus solfataricus P 2 DNA polymerase IV;NarI Recognition Sequence;forms DNA adducts;IQ;II;replication;exo 2006-11-20
