5-Hydroxypyrimidine deoxynucleoside triphosphates are more efficiently incorporated into DNA by exonuclease-free Klenow fragment than 8-oxopurine deoxynucleoside triphosphates.
Recent studies with 8-oxodeoxyguanosine triphosphate (8-oxodGTP) have suggested that incorporation of oxidized nucleotides from the precursor pool into DNA may have deleterious effects. Here we show that 5-hydroxydeoxycytosine triphosphate (5-OHdCTP) and 5-hydroxydeoxyuridine triphosphate (5-OHdUTP) are more efficient substrates than 8-oxodGTP for Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I Klenow fragme...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase activity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase within core capsid: interaction with deoxynucleoside triphosphates and anti-HBV L-deoxynucleoside analog triphosphates.
The use of L(-)SddC [beta-L-2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (lamivudine, 3TC)] for the treatment of Herpes B virus (HBV) infection is hindered by the emergence of drug-resistance associated with the L526M, L550V, and L526M/M550V mutations of the viral DNA polymerase (DP). The interactions of the anti-HBV compounds 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydro-beta-L(-)-5-fluorode-oxycytidine and 2'-fluoro-5-meth...
متن کاملSubstrate mimicry: HIV-1 reverse transcriptase recognizes 6-modified-3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxyguanosine-5′-triphosphates as adenosine analogs
β-D-3'-Azido-2',3'-dideoxyguanosine (3'-azido-ddG) is a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication with a superior resistance profile to zidovudine. Recently, we identified five novel 6-modified-3'-azido-ddG analogs that exhibit similar or superior anti-HIV-1 activity compared to 3'-azido-ddG in primary cells. To gain insight into their structure-activity-resistance relationships, we synthesized the...
متن کاملQuantitation of cellular deoxynucleoside triphosphates
Eukaryotic cells contain a delicate balance of minute amounts of the four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), sufficient only for a few minutes of DNA replication. Both a deficiency and a surplus of a single dNTP may result in increased mutation rates, faulty DNA repair or mitochondrial DNA depletion. dNTPs are usually quantified by an enzymatic assay in which incorporation of radioactiv...
متن کاملNucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
4 Optimal HIV-1 suppression often is difficult to achieve and maintain with currently available antiretroviral drugs, and viral resistance eventually emerges to many drugs. Chronic antiretroviral therapy is also associated with complications such as body fat redistribution, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia, abnormal glucose metabolism, lactic acidosis, pancreatitis, avascular necro...
