Unless otherwise noted, all chemicals were from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) or Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA), and were of the highest quality available. Unlabeled deoxyribonucleotide triphos-phates (dNTPs), T4 polynucleotide kinase, and uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) were from New England BioLabs (Ipswich, MA). Unmodified oligonucleotides were synthesized and purified by Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA). [γ-32P]ATP (specific activity of 3000 Ci mmol−1) was from PerkinElmer (Waltham, MA). XP-V (XP30RO) fibroblasts (pol η-deficient, GM03617) were from Coriell Institute (Camden, NJ). A mutant of Dpo1 (D231A, E233A, D318A) deficient in 3′→5′ exonuclease activity was used to avoid complication in interpreting the kinetic data of nucleotide incorporation. Dpo1 and Dpo4 were expressed and purified as described.23 (link) The catalytic fragments of human pol η (1–432)24 (link) and pol κ (19–526)25 (link) were expressed and purified following previous procedures. Details of the synthesis, purification, and characterization of oligonucleotides containing site-specific O6-dG-C4-O6-dG ICLs are described in the Supporting Information.21

All materials, including reagents and solvents, were of commercial grade. [γ-32P]-ATP was from Perkin Elmer Health Sciences Inc. (Shelton, CT). The enzymes and solutions of native dNTPs were purchased from New England Biolabs (Beverly, MA). HEK 293T cells with knockout of a single TLS polymerase hPol η, hPol κ, hPol ι, and hPol ζ, and simultaneous knockout of hPol κ/hPol ι were a gift from Professor Yinsheng Wang (University of California, Riverside, CA), which were produced by using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing method.41 (link),42 (link) Synthetic siRNA duplexes against hPol λ (SI00101108) and negative control siRNA (1027280) were purchased from Qiagen (Valencia, CA). Oligonucleotides containing 8-OxodGuo were prepared using commercially available phosphoramidites (Glen Research), deprotected using manufacturer recommended protocols, and purified by denaturing PAGE. Purified oligonucleotides were characterized by MALDI-TOF MS (Figure S1). PAGE analysis indicated that they are >96% pure. Unmodified oligonucleotides were obtained from Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA).

2-F-dI phosphoramidite was purchased from Glen Research. Unmodified oligonucleotides and 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled oligonucleotide primers were purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). The 15- and 36-mer peptides were purchased from New England Peptides. C18 Sep-Pak columns were purchased from Waters. Other chemical reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich. hpol η (catalytic core of 1–432 amino acids) and hpol κ (19–526 amino acids) were expressed in E. coli and purified as previously reported (53 (link), 54 (link)). Unlabeled dNTPs and UDG were purchased from New England Biolabs. Micro Biospin-6 columns were purchased from Bio-Rad.

DNA origami structures
were assembled in a single folding reaction carried out in a test
tube (AB0620, ThermoFisher Scientific) with 10 μL of folding
mixture containing 10 nM M13mp18 scaffold DNA (New England Biolabs),
100 nM unmodified oligonucleotides (Integrated DNA technologies),
either 100 nM biotin-modified oligonucleotides (Biomers) for direct
hybridization to the DNA origami tile (H57-dSAv-NL, H57-tSAv-NL) or
500 nM biotinylated oligonucleotides (Biomers) for external hybridization
(H57-dSAv, H57-tSAv) and folding buffer (5 mM Tris (AM9855G, ThermoFisher
Scientific), 50 mM NaCl (AM9759, ThermoFisher Scientific), 1 mM EDTA
(AM9260G, ThermoFisher Scientific), 12.5 mM MgCl2) (AM9530G, ThermoFisher
Scientific)). Oligonucleotide sequences are shown in the Supporting
Information Appendix, Tables S13–S15. At the site chosen for ligand attachment, a staple strand was elongated
at its 3′-end with 21 bases (H57-DNA, H57-PNA, H57-mSAv, H57-dSAv,
H57-tSAv). At sites chosen for cholesterol anchor attachment, staple
strands were elongated at the 5′-end with 25 bases, respectively.
DNA origami were annealed using a thermal protocol (90 °C, 15
min; 90 °C – 4 °C, 1 °C min–1; 4 °C, 6 h) and purified using 100 kDa Amicon Ultra centrifugal
filters (UFC510096, Merck). DNA origami were stored up to 4 weeks
at −20 °C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
