| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is well known that pyrimidines are readily hydrated upon irradiation by UV. However, its significance in UV toxicity and mutagenicity is still unclear. Among DNA components, cytosines are photohydrated efficiently, while thymine is relatively resistant to the hydration. Because this reaction is reversible and hydrated cytosines are unstable, it is not easy to measure levels of hydration in DNA. We have tried to estimate the hydration by using hydrogen-exchange at 5-position of cytosine. As a model compound, oligonucleotides containing deoxycytidine was employed to study the hydrogen-deuterium exchange. The UV-irradiated sample is dissolved with H2O, and analyzed. We found that the deuterium exchange can be monitored by MALDI-TOF MS as well as NMR measurement. The MS measurement is much easier than NMR, and suitable for multiple analyses. Another aspect is an effect of cellular components on the photohydration. Phosphate can catalyze dehydration from deoxycytidine hydrate.
