SummaryThe carcinogenic hydrocarbons 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-HOCH2-B[a]P) and 6-acetoxym8thylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-AcOCH2-B[a]P) were examined for their ability to bind to rat and calf thymus DNA. The data indicate there are no appreciable differences in the amount of binding to the two types of DNA. Non-enzymatic binding of 6-HOCH2-B[a]P was low (5 μmol hydrocarbon/mol DNA P) but 6-AcOCH2-B[a]P was bound to a considerable extent (88.42¯-97.3 μmol hydrocarbon/mol DNA P). Non-enzymatic binding of 6-HOCH2-B[a]P was greatly increased in the presence of ATP. Binding of 6-HOCH2-B[a]P in the presence of liver microsomes from untreated rats or from rats pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) never exceeded 5 jumol hydrocarbon/mol DNA P. Binding of 6-HOCH2-B[a]P in the presence of a PAPS generating system was less than non-enzymatic binding mediated by ATP and was dependent on the presence of ATP rather than ATP and sulfate. Binding was reduced by 50% when ADP was employed in the non-enzymatic reaction and was negligible in the presence of AMP or adenosine, indicating that a diphosphate group is necessary. Incubation of 6-HOCH2-B[a]P with DNA in the presence of ATP, CTP, GTP, or UTP showed that ATP was the most effective mediator of the binding reaction. These observations suggest that 6-HOCH2-B[a]P is converted to a phosphate ester which, like 6-AcOCH2-B[a]P, is much more reactive than 6-HOCH2-B[a]P itself.
