Enzymatic incorporation of chemically-modified nucleotides into DNAs.

چکیده
Modified 2'-deoxyuridine triphosphates bearing proteinous amino acids at a C5 position were prepared, and their substrate properties were investigated for KOD Dash DNA polymerase during PCR. The modified dUTPs bearing histidyl, lysyl, glutaminyl or seryl group produced the aimed 108 nt PCR products in good yields. In contrast, the analog bearing glutamyl group did not work as a substrate for KOD Dash while the analog bearing aspartyl group gave the product in a low yield. Moreover, not only KOD Dash but also three other thermostable DNA polymerases were tested as catalysts by use of C5 modified dUTPs with two different types of linker arms. Both Pfu and Vent(exo-) were relatively tolerant for the modification at the C5 position as well as KOD Dash.

Study on suitability of KOD DNA polymerase for enzymatic production of artificial nucleic acids using base/sugar modified nucleoside triphosphates.
Recently, KOD and its related DNA polymerases have been used for preparing various modified nucleic acids, including not only base-modified nucleic acids, but also sugar-modified ones, such as bridged/locked nucleic acid (BNA/LNA) which would be promising candidates for nucleic acid drugs. However, thus far, reasons for the effectiveness of KOD DNA polymerase for such purposes have not been cle...
متن کاملChemical modification of DNA with muta-carcinogens. III. Reductive alkylation of DNA with mitomycin C.
Mitomycin C (MMC) binds to DNA after its reductive activation by catalytic hydrogenation with Pd on charcoal. Three modified nucleotides, named MG-1, MG-2, and MA, were isolated from the modified DNA after enzymatic hydrolysis to 5'-nucleotides. The structures of these modified nucleotides were deduced from their 1H-NMR and UV spectra, and from studies of the chemically transformed derivatives ...
متن کاملStructures of KlenTaq DNA polymerase caught while incorporating C5-modified pyrimidine and C7-modified 7-deazapurine nucleoside triphosphates.
The capability of DNA polymerases to accept chemically modified nucleotides is of paramount importance for many biotechnological applications. Although these analogues are widely used, the structural basis for the acceptance of the unnatural nucleotide surrogates has been only sparsely explored. Here we present in total six crystal structures of modified 2'-deoxynucleoside-5'-O-triphosphates (d...
متن کاملFluorescent DNA hybridization probe preparation using amine modification and reactive dye coupling.
Fluorescent nucleic acid hybridization probes traditionally have been generated by enzymatic incorporation of dye-labeled nucleotides, even though incorporation efficiency is low and variable from dye to dye. Alternatively, 5-(3-aminoallyl)-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (aa-dUTP) is enzymatically incorporated to generate amine-modified DNA, which is then chemically labeled with an amine-react...
متن کاملArtificial Specific Binders Directly Recovered from Chemically Modified Nucleic Acid Libraries
Specific binders comprised of nucleic acids, that is, RNA/DNA aptamers, are attractive functional biopolymers owing to their potential broad application in medicine, food hygiene, environmental analysis, and biological research. Despite the large number of reports on selection of natural DNA/RNA aptamers, there are not many examples of direct screening of chemically modified nucleic acid aptame...
