Ionizing radiation damages cellular mechanisms by inducing DNA lesions such as cdPus, which can affect the activity of repair enzymes. This study found that cdPus lesions influence the initial stages of DNA repair differently based on their position relative to dU. Understanding and eliminating this type of DNA damage is crucial for preventing carcinogenesis.
Ionizing radiation is a factor that seriously damages cellular mechanisms/macromolecules, e.g., by inducing damage in the human genome, such as 5 ',8-cyclo-2 '-deoxypurines (cdPus). CdPus may become a component of clustered DNA lesions (CDL), which are notably unfavorable for the base excision repair system (BER). In this study, the influence of 5 ' S and 5 ' R diastereomers of 5 ',8-cyclo-2 '-deoxyadenosine (cdA) and 5 ',8-cyclo-2 '-deoxyguanosine (cdG) on the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) and human AP site endonuclease 1 (hAPE1) activity has been taken under consideration. Synthetic oligonucleotides containing 2 '-deoxyuridine (dU) and cdPu were used as a model of single-stranded CDL. The activity of the UDG and hAPE1 enzymes decreased in the presence of RcdG compared to ScdG. Contrary to the above, ScdA reduced enzyme activity more than RcdA. The presented results show the influence of cdPus lesions located within CDL on the activity of the initial stages of BER dependently on their position toward dU. Numerous studies have shown the biological importance of cdPus (e.g., as a risk of carcinogenesis). Due to that, it is important to understand how to recognize and eliminate this type of DNA damage from the genome.
