Protein Modifications by Activated Carcinogens
The postulated fragmentation of RNase by N-acetoxy-2fluorenylacetamide (N-acetoxy-2-FAA), an activated metabolite of the carcinogen, N-hydroxy-24iuorenylacetamide, has been investigated. The interaction of N-acetoxy-Z-FAA with RNase resulted in the formation of two new proteins separable from RNase by electrophoresis and ion exchange chromatography. These proteins contained no new NH2terminal a...
متن کاملDetection of nucleic acid modifications by chemical reagents
Nucleic acids, especially RNA, naturally contain a diversity of chemically modified nucleosides. To understand the biological role of these modified nucleosides, nucleic acid scientists need tools to specifically label, detect and enrich modified nucleic acids. These tools comprise a diverse set of chemical reagents which have been established in the early years of nucleic acid research. Recent...
متن کاملMetabolism of chemical carcinogens.
The transformation of chemicals is important in carcinogenesis, both in bioactivation and detoxification. Major advances in the past 20 years include appreciation of the migration of reactive electrophiles, the ability of Phase II conjugating enzymes to activate chemicals, understanding of the human enzymes, the realization that DNA modification can result from endogenous chemicals, and the dem...
متن کاملMapping Post-Transcriptional Modifications onto Transfer Ribonucleic Acid Sequences by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Liquid chromatography, coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, has become one of the most popular methods for the analysis of post-transcriptionally modified transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs). Given that the information collected using this platform is entirely determined by the mass of the analyte, it has proven to be the gold standard for accurately assigning nucleobases to the sequence. For ...
متن کاملChemical modification of ribonucleic acid polymerase with N-bromosuccinimide.
The mechanism of specific interaction between a protein and a nucleic acid is thought to reside partially in the arrangement and types of amino acid present in the protein. Attempts have been made to assign specific roles in this interaction to certain amino acids, for example, tryptophan and tyrosine are thought to be involved in unwinding the double helix of DNA (Brun et al., 1975), and in se...
