RESUMO
The cis–syn dimer is the major DNA photoproduct produced by UV irradiation. In order to determine the origin of the mutagenic property of the cis–syn dimer, we used NMR restraints and molecular dynamics to determine the solution structure of a DNA decamer duplex containing a wobble pair between the 3′-T of the cis–syn dimer and the opposite T residue (CS/TA duplex). The solution structure of the CS/TA duplex revealed that the 3′-T·T base pair of the cis–syn dimer had base pair geometry that was significantly different from the canonical Watson–Crick base pair and caused destabilization and conformational distortion of its 3′-region. However, a 3′-T·A base pair at the cis–syn dimer within this related DNA decamer maintains the normal Watson–Crick base pair geometry and causes little distortion in the conformation of its 3′-side. Our results show that in spite of its stable hydrogen bonding, the insertion of a T residue opposite the 3′-T of the cis–syn dimer is inhibited by structural distortion caused by the 3′-T·T base pair. This may explain why the frequency of the 3′-T→A transversion, which is the major mutation produced by the cis–syn dimer, is only 4%.
