Cross-Linking of Proteins to Nucleic Acids by Ultraviolet Light

  • Chapter
Photochemical and Photobiological Reviews

Abstract

Early in the 1960s Smith (1962) and Alexander and Moroson (1962) independently published experimental results indicating that absorption of ultraviolet light could induce cross-linking of protein to DNA in living cells. Since these initial observations there has been increasing experimental interest in photoinduced cross-linking of proteins to nucleic acids. Photobiologists are intrigued by the possibility that nucleic acid-protein cross-linking is an important mode of ultraviolet light induced damage in biological systems. Molecular biologists and biochemists interested in structural relations in nucleic-acid-protein systems (e.g., chromatin, ribosomes) are examining the feasibility of using UV-cross-linking as a means of determining contact points between nucleic acid and protein in these complexes. Photochemists are exploring the structures and mechanisms of formation of adducts of nucleic acid bases and related compounds with amino acids and amino acid analogs; these studies may have direct relevance to the goal of understanding the chemical basis of UV-induced cross-linking in nucleic acid-protein complexes.
