Methylene blue plus light mediates 8-hydroxy 2'-deoxyguanosine formation in DNA preferentially over strand breakage

Abstract: Methylene blue (MB) plus light, in the presence of oxygen, mediates formation of 8-hydroxyguanine in DNA. The yield of 8-hydroxyguanine may be as much as from 2 to 4% of the guanines present. The results presented here show that treatment of supercoiled plasmid DNA with methylene blue plus light causes single-stranded nicks. However, single-stranded nicking occurs approximately 17-fold less frequently than does formation of 8-hydroxyguanine. The nicking rate is reduced in the presence of Mg ion but is not prev… Show more

“…The same mutational pattern (G to T transversions, 63.0 % of 65 base substitutions) was obtained after transfection of 1 O 2 -treated M13lacZ bacteriophage DNA in Escherichia coli (49). Also, 8-oxo-dGuo is a frequent lesion detected in DNA exposed to 1 O 2 (39,(50)(51)(52). These findings suggest that 1 O 2 causes 8-oxo-dGuo formation and this accounts for the G to T transversions.…”

“…3) as the trap on this basis. This modified base is often detected as a byproduct of oxidative damage (14,20,23,31,(33)(34)(35)(36). Although structural information is not available for PNA-containing duplexes, Williams and coworkers (37) recently determined the structure of a DNA duplex having an 8-OxoG substitution by x-ray crystallography and found that the oxidized base caused little perturbation.…”
