The synthetic oligonucleotide heptamer S'-ATCCGTC^'was reacted in vitro with TV-acet-oxy-7V-(trifluoroacetyl)-2-aminofluorene and the resulting product isolated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This purified oligonucleotide, which was shown by chemical and enzymatic analysis to be a heptamer containing a single Ar-(deoxyguanin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene adduct, was then used to situate the putatively mutagenic aminofluorene lesion within the genome of Ml3 mp9 by ligating it into a complementary single-stranded region located at a specific site in the negative strand of the duplex Ml 3 mp9 DNA molecule. The presence of the adduct at the anticipated location was confirmed by taking advantage of the facts that AF adducts inhibit many restriction enzymes when located in or near their restriction sites and that the AF moiety should be contained within the Hindi recognition sequence on M13 mp9 DNA. Upon attempted cleavage of the Ml3 DNA containing the site-specific AF adduct with Hindi, we find that the large majority of the DNA remained circular, demonstrating the incorporation of the AF adduct in high yield into the DNA moleculeat this location. This system should prove useful in vivo for the study of mutagenesis by chemical carcinogens and in vitro to study the interaction of purified DNA metabolizing proteins with a template containing a site-specific lesion. e formation of covalentadducts between reactive elec-trophilic metabolites of chemical carcinogens and the nu-cleophilic sites of DNA is considered to be a critical step in chemical carcinogenesis (Miller, 1978). Chemical modification of cellular DNA presents a serious challenge to cells since mutation or cell death may result upon exposure to an agent with such potential. There is substantial evidence suggesting that modification of cellular DNA is the premier event of the multistep carcinogenic process (Weinstein, 1981; King, 1985), and it is generally accepted that the majority of ultimate carcinogens are mutagens (Ames & McCann, 1979), which mediate their effect through covalent binding to DNA (Singer & Grunberger, 1984).
