چکیده

The synthesis and properties of four new fluorescent reagents capable of forming moderately stable links to the 3' oxidized end of RNA are reported. All are hydrazide derivatives: pyrene butyric acid hydrazide, proflavine monosemicarbazide, proflavine monosuccinic acid hydrazide, and anthracene-9-carboxaldehyde carbohydrazone. In addition, procedures are given for coupling the bifunctional reagent carbohydrazide to the 3' end of RNA. These carbohydrazide adducts can easily be coupled in turn to a wide variety of fluorescent reagents having specificity for aliphatic amino groups, including isothiocyanates and sulfonyl halides. Thus a route exists for the preparation of an enormous variety of 3' fluorescent labeled RNAs. The carbohyrazide adducts are also useful for other synthetic procedures such as preparation of covalent tRNA dimers.

Chemoenzymatic site-specific reversible immobilization and labeling of proteins from crude cellular extract without prior purification using oxime and hydrazine ligation.

In a facile and potentially general method for protein modification at the C-terminus, aldehyde-modified proteins, obtained from enzymatic protein prenylation, react rapidly with hydrazide and aminooxy surfaces and fluorophores at neutral pH and in micromolar concentration ranges of reagents. This strategy was used for fluorescent labeling of eGFP-CVIA, as a model protein, with aminooxy and hyd...

Staining of blood cells with periodic acid/salicyloyl hydrazide (PA-SH). A fluorescent method for demonstrating glycogen.

By J. BURNS AND P. B. NEAME T lIE PERIODIC ACID-SCHIFF (PAS ) REACTION is generally accepted as the method of choice for demonstrating glycogen in blood cells. This reaction depends upon the presence, in glycogen, of vicinal glycols which are oxidized by periodic acid to dialdehydes. The latter are subsequently condensed with Schiff’s reagent to produce a magenta-red product, visible by light m...

Studies of transfer RNA tertiary structure by singlet-singlet energy transfer.

This distance between a base next to the anticodon of tRNA and the 3' CpCpA terminus of the molecule has been estimated by singlet-singlet energy transfer experiments. The energy donor was the Y base of unknown structure found in yeast tRNA(phe). Three different energy acceptors were used: acriflavine, proflavinyl acetic acid hydrazide, and 9-hydrazino acridine. These were attached to the perio...

Use of the avidin-biotin complex for specific staining of biological membranes in electron microscopy.

To expand the electron microscopist's options in localization and visualization, a new and general staining technique has been tested. The avidin-biotin complex serves as a coupling between the electron-dense marker, ferritin, and points of interest in biological samples. When specific cellular components are tagged with biotin, those components may be visualized with ferritin-linked avidin. Be...

A fluorescence-labeling method for sequencing small RNA on polyacrylamide gel.

A practical fluorescence-labeling method for sequencing small RNAs by the traditional 'direct read out' on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was established. The 3' terminus of RNA was oxidized into dialdehyde by sodium periodate and then labeled with fluorescein-5-thiosemicarbazide through the condensation reaction between carbazide and aldehyde. The fluorescence-labeled RNA was partially deg...
