Cross-linking of Escherichia coli formamidopyrymidine-DNA glycosylase to DNA duplexes containing photoactivatable phenyl(trifluoromethyl)diazirine groups

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2003 May-Aug;22(5-8):1505-7. doi: 10.1081/NCN-120023021.

Abstract

New reactive analogs of substrates for DNA repair enzyme E. coli Fpg protein containing the residues of 8-oxoguanine and photoactivatable phenyl(trifluoromethyl)diazirine groups were synthesized. Their substrate properties were investigated. Using photocross-linking technique, we established the presence of contacts of two nucleosides located near the oxoG with amino acids from the Fpg protein. The cross-linking efficiency achieved 10%.
