Abstract
Nitrogen mustards (NMs) react with two bases on opposite strands of a DNA duplex to form a covalent linkage, yielding adducts called DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). This prevents helix unwinding, blocking essential processes such as replication and transcription. Accumulation of ICLs causes cell death in rapidly dividing cells, especially cancer cells, making ICL-forming agents like NMs valuable in chemotherapy. However, the repair of ICLs can contribute to chemoresistance through a number of pathways that remain poorly understood. One of the impediments in studying NM ICL repair mechanisms has been the difficulty of generating site-specific and stable NM ICLs. Here, we describe two methods to synthesize stable NM ICL analogs that make it possible to study DNA ICL repair. As a proof of principle of the suitability of these NM ICLs for biochemical and cell biological studies, we use them in primer extension assays with Klenow polymerase. We show that the NM ICL analogs block the polymerase activity and remain intact under our experimental conditions. (c) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
