Highly selective detection of 5-methylcytosine using photochemical ligation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the nonenzymatic detection of 5-methylcytosine by using template-directed photoligation through 5-cyanovinyl-2'-deoxyuridine ((C)U) with high selectivity and present a new methylation detection method using a photoligation-based DNA chip assay.

Sequence-selective osmium oxidation of DNA: efficient distinction between 5-methylcytosine and cytosine.
5-Methylcytosine was distinguished from cytosine using the large difference of their osmium oxidation rates, and this reaction was applied to detection of the cytosine methylation status at a specific site of a long sequence using the formation of a bulge structure by hybridization with a guide DNA.
متن کاملQuick, Selective and Reversible Photocrosslinking Reaction between 5-Methylcytosine and 3-Cyanovinylcarbazole in DNA Double Strand
Selective photocrosslinking reaction between 3-cyanovinylcarbazole nucleoside (CNVK) and 5-methylcytosine (mC), which is known as epigenetic modification in genomic DNA, was developed. The reaction was completely finished within 5 s of 366 nm irradiation, and the rate of this photocrosslinking reaction was ca. 30-fold higher than that in the case of unmodified normal cytosine. There were no sig...
متن کاملApplication of Ammonium Persulfate for Selective Oxidation of Guanines for Nucleic Acid Sequencing.
Nucleic acids can be sequenced by a chemical procedure that partially damages the nucleotide positions at their base repetition. Many methods have been reported for the selective recognition of guanine. The accurate identification of guanine in both single and double regions of DNA and RNA remains a challenging task. Herein, we present a new, non-toxic and simple method for the selective recogn...
متن کاملOxidatively generated damage to DNA at 5-methylcytosine mispairs.
Oxidatively generated damage to DNA has been implicated as causing mutations that lead to aging and disease. The one-electron oxidation of normal DNA leads to formation of a nucleobase radical cation that hops through the DNA until it is trapped irreversibly, primarily by reaction at guanine. It has been observed that 5-methylcytosine (C(m)) is a mutational "hot-spot". However, C(m) in a Watson...
متن کامل5-Hydroxymethylcytosine-selective oxidation with peroxotungstate.
Tungsten oxidation worked as a simple chemical reaction for the effective detection of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA, distinguishing it from its epigenetic precursors, 5-methylcytosine and unmethylated cytosine. The tungsten-oxidation product obtained from 5-hydroxymethylcytosine was trihydroxylated thymine and was detected as a cleavage band in gel electrophoresis after treatment with hot pip...
