ABSTRACTDNA interstrand cross-links are complex lesions that covalently link both strands of the duplex DNA. Lesion removal is proposed to be initiated via the UvrABC nucleotide excision repair complex; however, less is known about the subsequent steps of this complex repair pathway. In this study, we characterized the contribution of nucleotide excision repair mutants to survival in the presence of psoralen-induced damage. Unexpectedly, we observed that the nucleotide excision repair mutants exhibit differential sensitivity to psoralen-induced damage, withuvrCmutants being less sensitive than eitheruvrAoruvrB. We show that Cho, an alternative endonuclease, acts with UvrAB and is responsible for the reduced hypersensitivity ofuvrCmutants. We find that Cho's contribution to survival correlates with the presence of DNA interstrand cross-links, rather than monoadducts, and operates at a step after, or independently from, the initial incision during the global repair of psoralen DNA adducts from the genome.IMPORTANCEDNA interstrand cross-links are complex lesions that covalently bind to both strands of the duplex DNA and whose mechanism of repair remains poorly understood. In this study, we show that Cho, an alternative endonuclease, acts with UvrAB and participates in the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links formed in the presence of photoactivated psoralens. Cho's contribution to survival correlates with the presence of DNA interstrand cross-links and operates at a step after, or independently from, the initial incision during the repair process.

Here, we report on the formation of DNA interstrand cross-links. These cross-links form from abasic sites, an endogenous type of DNA damage. We have utilized gel electrophoresis, NMR, mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography to identify the location, DNA sequence specificity, stability and some structural information for these interstrand cross-links. Additionally, we have synthesized a small molecule standard which is identical to the enzymatically digested cross-link from duplex DNA. This synthetic standard can be used to increase sensitivity for future detection of DNA-abasic site cross-links.
