Abstrakt: DNA duplexes containing a single phosphoryldisulfide link in place of the natural internucleotide phosphodiester bond were employed in affinity modification of Cys142 in cytosine-C5 DNA methyltransferase SsoII (M.SsoII). The possibility of duplex-M.SsoII conjugation as a result of disulfide exchange was demonstrated. The crosslinking efficiency proved to depend on the DNA primary structure, modification position, and the presence of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, a nonreactive analog of the methylation cofactor. The SH group of M.SsoII Cys142 was assumed to be close to the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone in the DNA-enzyme complex.
