Terminal phosphate labeled nucleotides: synthesis, applications, and linker effect on incorporation by DNA polymerases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of terminal phosphate-labeled nucleotides with three or more phosphates and with varied length linkers attached between the terminal phosphate and the dye have been synthesized. These nucleotides have been tested as substrates for different DNA and RNA polymerases. We have also explored their utility in DNA sequencing, SNP analysis, nucleic acid amplification, quantitative PCR, and other biochemical assays.

Incorporation of reporter-labeled nucleotides by DNA polymerases.
The incorporation of fluorescently labeled nucleotides into DNA by DNA polymerases has been used extensively for tagging genes and for labeling DNA. However, we lack studies comparing polymerase efficiencies for incorporating different fluorescently labeled nucleotides. We analyzed the incorporation of fluorescent deoxynucleoside triphosphates by 10 different DNA polymerases, representing a cro...
متن کاملEffects of a modified dye-labeled nucleotide spacer arm on incorporation by thermophilic DNA polymerases.
The ability of eight commercially available thermophilic DNA polymerases to sequentially incorporate fluorescently labeled nucleotides sequentially was analyzed by a gel based primer extension assay. Cy5-dUTP or a variant nucleotide in which the linker had been lengthened by 14 atoms between the dye and the nucleobase were compared. We found that the Cy5-dUTP with a longer linker resulted in lo...
متن کاملTerminal phosphate-labeled nucleotides with improved substrate properties for homogeneous nucleic acid assays.
Nucleotides with a dye attached to the terminal phosphate with four or more phosphates (tetra- or pentaphosphates) are superior substrates than the corresponding triphosphates for DNA and RNA polymerases. When fluorogenic dyes are directly attached to the terminal phosphate, they can be released by the action of polymerase and alkaline phosphatase. The released dye changes color and fluorescenc...
متن کاملEnzymatic synthesis of multi spin-labeled DNA.
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was applied extensively in studies of nucleic acid structures and dynamics. Two modified 2'-deoxyuridine triphosphates were synthesized bearing a spin label linked to the base by a rigid linker to ensure a tight coupling of spin label dynamics. The incorporation of both spin-labeled nucleotides could be shown in primer extension reactions in pr...
متن کاملDNA polymerases drive DNA sequencing-by-synthesis technologies: both past and present
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized modern biological and biomedical research. The engines responsible for this innovation are DNA polymerases; they catalyze the biochemical reaction for deriving template sequence information. In fact, DNA polymerase has been a cornerstone of DNA sequencing from the very beginning. Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I proteolytic (Kle...
