The Vpr protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) influences the in vivo mutation rate of the virus. Since Vpr interacts with a cellular protein implicated in the DNA repair process, uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG), we have explored the contribution of this interaction to the mutation rate of HIV-1. Single-amino-acid variants of Vpr were characterized for their differential UNG-bindin...
Systematic structural modifications of the muramic acid, peptide, and nucleotide moieties of Park's nucleotide were performed to investigate the substrate specificity of B. subtilis MraY (MraYBS). It was found that the simplest analogue of Park's nucleotide only bearing the first two amino acids, l-alanine-iso-d-glutamic acid, could function as a MraYBS substrate. Also, the acid group attached ...
The first stage of these studies consisted in the development of antitumor drugs of the type of alkylating metabolites 1952-55 (5, 6, 13). These are metabolites or other natural or biologically active compounds which are combined with a cytotoxic group (e.g., the chloroethylamino group). Sarcolysin and dopan are representative of drugs of this type. In the former, the essential amino acid, phen...
A series of 23 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine derivatives that were highly potent inhibitors of wild-type human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strain IIIB (HIV-1/IIIB) replication in CEM cells were evaluated against a panel of HIV-1 mutant strains containing the replacement of leucine by isoleucine at position 100 (100-Leu-->Ile), 103-Lys-->Asn, 106-Val-->Ala, 138-Glu-->Lys, 1...
The leucine auxotroph Escherichia coli 2961 exhibited stringent control of net ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis during amino acid starvation. After leucine was exhausted from the medium, the rate of uracil incorporation into RNA rapidly decreased to 2 to 4% of the prestarvation value. Infection of the starved cells with T2 phage stimulated uracil incorporation to a level equivalent to that of u...
Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is a key repair enzyme responsible for removing uracil residues from DNA. Interestingly, UDG is the only enzyme known to be inhibited by two different DNA mimic proteins: p56 encoded by the Bacillus subtilis phage 29 and the well-characterized protein Ugi encoded by the B. subtilis phage PBS1/PBS2. Atomic-resolution crystal structures of the B. subtilis UDG both fre...
Archaeal family-B DNA polymerases possess a novel uracil-sensing mechanism. A specialized pocket scans the template, ahead of the replication fork, for the presence of uracil; on encountering this base, DNA synthesis is stalled. The structural basis for uracil recognition by polymerases is described and compared with other uracil-recognizing enzymes (uridine-triphosphate pyrophophatases and ura...
The development of a sequence-general nucleic acid copying system is an essential step in the assembly of a synthetic protocell, an autonomously replicating spatially localized chemical system capable of spontaneous Darwinian evolution. Previously described nonenzymatic template-copying experiments have validated the concept of nonenzymatic replication, but have not yet achieved robust, sequenc...
Structural characterisation and reactivity of new tetrahedral intermediates based on a highly modular barbituric acid scaffold, formed via chemoselective electron transfer using the SmI2-H2O reagent, are reported. Lewis acid promoted cleavage of bicyclic α-amino alcohols affords vinylogous N-acyliminium ions, which undergo selective (>95 : 5, 1,4 over 1,2) capture with a suite of diverse nucleo...
