A mechanism by which the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I monitors the geometry of the base pairs may involve hydrogen bonds between the polymerase and the minor groove of the nascent base pair. The involvement of the 3-position of guanine in the template strand was examined by synthesizing oligodeoxynucleotides containing guanine and 3-deazaguanine and comparing the steady-state kinetics of the incorporation of all four dNTPs. TheVmax/Kmdecreased a significant amount (170-fold) only when dCTP was the co-substrate suggesting that a hydrogen bond exists only when the correct base pair is being replicated. This approach was also used to examine how the Klenow fragment interacts with the 3-position of the mutagenic baseO6-methylguanine (O6mG). TheVmax/Kmfor the incorporation of dTTP oppositeO6-methyl-3-deazaguanine (O6m3DG) was 1700-fold less than oppositeO6mG. In contrast, a small 6-fold increase inVmax/Kmoccurred for the incorporation of dCTP oppositeO6m3DG relative toO6mG. This result suggests that the hydrogen bond between the Klenow fragment andO6mG is more important in the incorporation of dTTP oppositeO6mG and may contribute to the mutagenicity ofO6mG.
