Abstract

 

This unit describes experimental and analytical procedures for characterizing the efficiency and fidelity of translesion DNA synthesis across various DNA damages by DNA polymerases in vitro. This procedure utilizes primer extension assays followed by LC?MS and LC?MS/MS analysis of the extension products. Detailed explanations for the analysis of the LC?MS/MS data for deciphering the nucleotide sequences of the DNA fragments are also presented. This approach provides a significant improvement over conventional methods, as it allows detection of misincorporation, as well as frameshift products. Curr. Protoc.

  •   Figure 7.16.1 Schematic representation of the approach used for the liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry analysis of DNA polymerase reaction products. The first step involves the extension of a primer containing one or more dU residues across a lesion containing template by a DNA polymerase in the presence of all four dNTPs. Following primer extension, the DNA is cleaved into small pieces in a two‐step process to facilitate LC‐MS analysis. dU in the primer is first removed using UDG. The abasic sites formed are then converted into cleavage sites by hot piperidine. The short pieces of DNA that resulted from primer extension are finally analyzed using LC‐MS and LC‐MS/MS to determine their nucleotide sequences and relative yields.
