DNA 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) causes transversions and is also implicated in frameshifts. We previously identified the dNTP pool as a likely source of mutagenic DNA 8-oxoG and demonstrated that DNA mismatch repair prevented oxidation-related frameshifts in mononucleotide repeats. Here, we show that both Klenow fragment and DNA polymerase {alpha} can utilize 8-oxodGTP and incorporate the oxidized purine into model frameshift targets. Both polymerases incorporated 8-oxodGMP opposite C and A in repetitive DNA sequences and efficiently extended a terminal 8-oxoG. The human MutS{alpha} mismatch repair factor recognized DNA 8-oxoG efficiently in some contexts that resembled frameshift intermediates in the same C or A repeats. DNA 8-oxoG in other slipped/mispaired structures in the same repeats adopted configurations that prevented recognition by MutS{alpha} and by the OGG1 DNA glycosylase thereby rendering it invisible to DNA repair. These findings are consistent with a contribution of oxidative DNA damage to frameshifts. They also suggest how mismatch repair might reduce the burden of DNA 8-oxoG and prevent frameshift formation.
