RESUMO
Reactions of bis(2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-butanato)oxochromate(V) with pUC19 DNA, single-stranded calf thymus DNA (ss-ctDNA), a synthetic oligonucleotide, 5'-GATCTATGGACTTACTTCAAGGCCGGGTAATGCTA-3' (35mer), deoxyguanosine and guanine were carried out in Bis-Tris buffer at pH 7.0. The plasmid DNA was only nicked, whereas the single-stranded DNA suffered extensive damage due to oxidation of the ribose moiety. The primary oxidation product was characterized as 5-methylene-2-furanone. Although all four bases (A, C, G and T) were released during the oxidation process, the concentration of guanine exceeds the other three. Orthophosphate and 3'-phosphates were also detected in this reaction. Likewise, the synthetic oliogomer exhibits cleavage at all bases with a higher frequecncy at G sites. This increased cleavage at G sites was more apparent after treating the primary oxidation products with piperidine, which may indicate base oxidation as well. DNA oxidation is shown to proceed through a Cr(V)-DNA intermediate in which chromium(V) is coordinated through the phosphodiester moiety. Two alternative mechanisms for DNA oxidation by oxochromate(V) are proposed to account for formation of 5-methylene-2-furanone, based on hydrogen abstraction or hydride transfer from the C1' site of the ribose followed by hydration and two successive beta-eliminations. It appears that phosphate coordination is a prerequisite for DNA oxidation, since no reactions between chromium(V) and deoxyguanosine or guanine were observed. Two other additional pathways, hydrogen abstraction from C4' and guanine base oxidation, are also discussed.
