DNA-protein cross-links are generated by both endogenous and exogenous DNA damaging agents, as intermediates during normal DNA metabolism, and during abortive base excision repair. Cross-links are relatively common lesions that are lethal when they block progression of DNA polymerases. DNA-protein cross-links may be broadly categorized into four groups by the DNA and protein chemistries near the cross-link and by the source of the cross-link: DNA-protein cross-links may be found (1) in nicked DNA at the 3' end of one strand (topo I), (2) in nicked DNA at the 5' end of one strand (pol beta), (3) at the 5' ends of both strands adjacent to nicks in close proximity (topo II; Spo 11), and (4) in one strand of duplex DNA (UV irradiation; bifunctional carcinogens and chemotherapeutic agents). Repair mechanisms are reasonably well-defined for groups 1 and 3, and suggested for groups 2 and 4. Our work is focused on the recognition and removal of DNA-protein cross-links in duplex DNA (group 4).
