A method called CLAPS-seq was developed to accurately map the distribution of OGs in the genome. The study revealed decreased occurrence of OGs in G-quadruplexes and in promoters with high GC content. Additionally, potential quadruplex sequences were identified as hotspots of OGs, suggesting a role of non-G4 quadruplex sequences in the oxidative stress response mediated by OG.
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG), one of the most common oxidative DNA damages, causes genome instability and is associated with cancer, neurological diseases and aging. In addition, OG and its repair intermediates can regulate gene transcription, and thus play a role in sensing cellular oxidative stress. However, the lack of methods to precisely map OG has hindered the study of its biological roles. Here, we developed a single-nucleotide resolution OG-sequencing method, named CLAPS-seq (Chemical Labeling And Polymerase Stalling Sequencing), to measure the genome-wide distribution of both exogenous and endogenous OGs with high specificity. Our data identified decreased OG occurrence at G-quadruplexes (G4s), in association with underrepresentation of OGs in promoters which have high GC content. Furthermore, we discovered that potential quadruplex sequences (PQSs) were hotspots of OGs, implying a role of non-G4-PQSs in OG-mediated oxidative stress response.
