Enzymatic primer-extension with glycerol-nucleoside triphosphates on DNA templates.

PLoS ONE 4(3) , e4949, (2009)

Glycerol nucleic acid (GNA) has an acyclic phosphoglycerol backbone repeat-unit, but forms stable duplexes based on Watson-Crick base-pairing. Because of its structural simplicity, GNA is of particular interest with respect to the possibility of evolving func...

Highly hydrophilic and nonionic poly(2-vinyloxazoline)-grafted silica: a novel organic phase for high-selectivity hydrophilic interaction chromatography.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 406(19) , 4585-93, (2014)

A new hydrophilic and nonionic poly(2-vinyloxazoline)-grafted silica (Sil-VOX(n)) phase was synthesized and applied for the separation of nucleosides and nucleobases in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). Polymerization and immobilization onto sil...

Preparation and properties of oligodeoxynucleotides containing 5-iodouracil and 5-bromo- and 5-iodocytosine.

Bioconjug. Chem. 8(5) , 757-61, (1997)

The behavior of oligonucleotides containing 5-iodouracil, 5-bromocytidine, and 5-iodocytidine in concentrated ammonia is described. 5-Aminouracil and 5-aminocytidine are obtained as side products when deprotection is performed at 60 degrees C. Small amounts, ...

A simple crosslinking method, CLAMP, to map the sites of RNA-contacting domains within a protein.

Methods Mol. Biol. 488 , 181-90, (2008)

A large number of proteins contain multiple RNA recognition motifs (RRMs). How multiple RRMs contribute to RNA recognition in solution is, however, poorly understood. Here, we describe a simple biochemical approach called CLAMP (crosslinking and mapping of pr...

Photoreactivity of 5-iodouracil-containing DNA-Sso7d complex.

Nucleic Acids Symp. Ser. (42) , 171-2, (1999)

X-ray structure of DNA-Sso7d complex indicated that binding of this protein causes sharp DNA bending. In order to examine whether this protein also causes DNA bending in solution, photoreactions of 1U-substituted DNA in the presence and the absence of Sso7d p...

Photocrosslinking of 5-iodouracil-substituted RNA and DNA to proteins.

Science 262(5137) , 1255-7, (1993)

5-Iodouracil-substituted RNA and DNA were crosslinked regiospecifically to associated proteins in yields of 70 to 94% of bound nucleic acid. Irradiation of the iodouracil chromophore with monochromatic, long-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (325 nanometers) e...

Efficient C2'alpha-hydroxylation of deoxyribose in protein-induced Z-form DNA.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125(6) , 1526-31, (2003)

DNA local conformations are thought to play an important biological role in processes such as gene expression by altering DNA-protein interactions. Although left-handed Z-form DNA is one of the best-characterized and significant local structures of DNA, havin...

Photoreactivity of 5-iodouracil-containing DNA-Sso7d complex in solution: the protein-induced DNA kink causes intrastrand hydrogen abstraction from the 5-methyl of thymine at the 5' side.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124(10) , 2086-7, (2002)

Photoirradiation of 5-iodouracil-containing DNA, d(GTAAT(I)UAC)(2) with Sso7d protein, possessing significant kink in DNA in the crystal structure induces an unprecedented intrastrand H abstraction at the methyl group of T(5), together with selective photooxi...

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric characterization of photocrosslinked DNA-EcoRI DNA methyltransferase complexes.

Nucleic Acids Res. 26(2) , 645-9, (1998)

We describe a novel strategy combining photocrosslinking and HPLC-based electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to identify UV crosslinked DNA-protein complexes. Eco RI DNA methyltransferase modifies the second adenine within the recognition sequence GAATTC...

Mutational analysis of target base flipping by the EcoRV adenine-N6 DNA methyltransferase.

J. Mol. Biol. 285(3) , 1121-30, (1999)

DNA methyltransferases flip their target base out of the DNA helix. Here, we have investigated base flipping by wild-type EcoRV DNA methyltransferase (M.EcoRV) and five M.EcoRV variants (D193A, Y196A, S229A, W231R and Y258A). These variants bind to DNA and S-...
