Revised Manuscript Received July 26, 1991 abstract: Carcinogenic chromium [Cr (VI)] compounds are reduced intracellularly to DNA-and pro-tein-reactive chromium (III) species. However, the role of Cr (III) ions in chromium-induced genotoxicity remains unclear. We have investigated the effects of chromium (III) binding on DNA replication and polymerase processivity in vitro. Chromium ions bind slowly and in a dose-dependent manner to DNA.Micromolar concentrations of free chromium inhibit DNA replication, but if the unbound chromium is removed by gel filtration, the rate of DNA replication by polymerase I (Klenow fragment) on the chro-mium-bound template is increased greater than6-fold relative to the control. This increase is paralleled by as much as a 4-fold increase in processivity and a 2-fold decrease in replication fidelity. These effects are optimum when very low concentrations of chromium ions are bound to the DNA [3-4 Cr (III) ions per 1000 nucleotide phosphates]. Increased concentrations of chromium leadto the production of DNA-DNA cross-links and inhibition of polymerase activity. These results suggest that low levels of DNA-bound chromium (IIl) ions may contribute to chromium mutagenesis and carcinogenesis by altering the kinetics and fidelity of DNA replication.
