Abstract
We previously reported that oxidized nucleotide insertion by DNA polymerase β (pol β) can confound the DNA ligation step during base excision repair (BER) (Çağlayan et al., 2017). Here, we describe a method to investigate pol β nucleotide insertion coupled with DNA ligation, in the same reaction mixture including dGTP or 8-oxo-dGTP, pol β and DNA ligase I. This in vitro assay enables us to measure the products for correct vs. oxidized nucleotide insertion, DNA ligation, and ligation failure, i.e., abortive ligation products, as a function of reaction time. This protocol complements our previous publication and describes an efficient way to analyze activities of BER enzymes and the functional interaction between pol β and DNA ligase I in vitro.
Keywords: DNA base excision repair (DNA碱基切除修复)Background
This protocol is to observe the last two steps of the BER pathway: nucleotide insertion by pol β and DNA ligation by ligase I. Using this protocol, one measures both reactions as a function of time of incubation in the same reaction mixture in vitro. The original entity was to analyze BER enzymes pol β and DNA ligase I on the single-nucleotide gapped DNA substrate that mimics a BER intermediate. These BER enzymes bind to and function on this BER intermediate. The DNA substrate used in this protocol includes a fluorescent label at both 5’- and 3’-ends that enables us to observe single-nucleotide insertion and DNA ligation of the DNA substrate. The pol β nucleotide insertion coupled with DNA ligation mimics the hand off or channeling of the nicked DNA intermediate from nucleotide insertion step to following ligation step during BER pathway. Using this protocol, one is also able to measure ligation failure, or abortive ligation, after pol β oxidized nucleotide (8-oxo-dGTP) insertion. This is achieved by quantification of the addition of an adenylate (AMP) group at 5’-end of the BER intermediate. This protocol can also be used to measure nucleotide insertion coupled with ligation using other DNA polymerases and DNA ligases.
