PCR with 5-methyl-dCTP replacing dCTP.
When dCTP is replaced by methyl5-dCTP in the polymerase chain reaction some templates cannot be efficiently amplified by Taq polymerase or Vent polymerase using standard cycling parameters. However, this phenomenon can be overcome by increasing the temperature of the denaturation steps to 100 degrees C, or by adding dITP to destabilize the m5dC:dG base pairs. Once the block to amplification of ...
متن کاملdCTP Pyrophosphohydrase Exhibits Nucleic Accumulation in Multiple Carcinomas
Nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (NTP-PPase) functions as one of the mechanisms to guarantee the fidelity of DNA replication through the cleavage of non-canonical nucleotides into di- or monophosphates. Human NTP-PPase is poorly understood and investigated. In the present study, by using tissue microassays with the paired cancer and adjacent regions, we found that with the prevalent...
متن کاملMycobacterial MazG Safeguards Genetic Stability via Housecleaning of 5-OH-dCTP
Generation of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in phagocytes is an important innate immune response mechanism to eliminate microbial pathogens. It is known that deoxynucleotides (dNTPs), the precursor nucleotides to DNA synthesis, are one group of the significant targets for these oxidants and incorporation of oxidized dNTPs into genomic DNA may cause mutations and even cel...
متن کاملThe mutations induced by oxidatively damaged nucleotides, 5-formyl-dUTP and 5-hydroxy-dCTP,in Escherichia coli.
The mutational properties of 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (5-CHO-dUTP) and 5-hydroxy-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate (5-OH-dCTP), the major oxidatively damaged pyrimidine nucleotides derived from dTTP and dCTP, respectively, were analyzed by an in vivo assay. 5-CHO-dUTP and 5-OH-dCTP were directly incorporated into Escherichia coli , and their mutagenicities were evaluated by the c...
متن کاملLimited dCTP Availability Accounts for Mitochondrial DNA Depletion in Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy (MNGIE)
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a severe human disease caused by mutations in TYMP, the gene encoding thymidine phosphorylase (TP). It belongs to a broader group of disorders characterized by a pronounced reduction in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in one or more tissues. In most cases, these disorders are caused by mutations in genes involved in deoxyrib...
