We report the synthesis of N2-aryl (benzyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl, and pyrenyl)-deoxyguanosine (dG) modified phosphoramidite building blocks and the corresponding damaged DNAs. Primer extension studies using E. coli Pol IV, a translesion polymerase, demonstrate that translesion synthesis (TLS) across these N2-dG adducts is error free. However, the efficiency of TLS activity decreases with increase in the steric bulkiness of the adducts. Molecular dynamics simulations of damaged DNA-Pol IV complexes reveal the van der Waals interactions between key amino acid residues (Phe13, Ile31, Gly32, Gly33, Ser42, Pro73, Gly74, Phe76, and Tyr79) of the enzyme and adduct that help to accommodate the bulky damages in a hydrophobic pocket to facilitate TLS. Overall, the results presented here provide insights into the TLS across N2-aryl-dG damaged DNAs by Pol IV.
