Both purified human 1,N6-ethenoadenine-binding protein and purified human 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase act on 1,N6-ethenoadenine and 3-methyladenine.

Singer, B, Antoccia, A, Basu, A K, Dosanjh, M K, Fraenkel-Conrat, H, Gallagher, P E, ...

We previously described a protein, isolated from human tissues and cells, that bound to a defined double-stranded oligonucleotide containing a single site-specifically placed 1,N6-ethenoadenine. It...

O4-Methyl, -ethyl, or -isopropyl substituents on thymidine in poly(dA-dT) all lead to transitions upon replication.

Singer, B, Spengler, S J, Fraenkel-Conrat, H, Kuśmierek, J T

In a previous paper, we reported that O4-methyl dTTP can be incorporated into poly(dA-dT) in place of thymidine without distortion of the helical structure, but on replication it could behave as...

Reaction of diazoalkanes with 1-substituted 2, 4-dioxopyrimidines. Formation of O2, N-3 and O4-alkyl products.

Kuśmierek, J T, Singer, B

In non-aqueous solution, diazomethane and diazoethane react with the O2, O4 and N-3 sites of uridine, thymidine, 1-methyluracil and 1-methylthymine. Diazoethane has a higher affinity for alkylating...

Escherichia coli polymerase I can use O2-methyldeoxythymidine or O4-methyldeoxythymidine in place of deoxythymidine in primed poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT) synthesis.

Singer, B, Sági, J, Kuśmierek, J T

O2-and O4-alkyldeoxythymidine are among the four O-alkyl base-modified derivatives produced by the reaction of N-nitroso alkylating agents with nucleic acids in vitro and in vivo. We find that both...

Preparation and template activities of polynucleotides containing O2- and O4-alkyluridine.

Singer, B, Fraenkel-Conrat, H, Kuśmierek, J T

O2-Ethyl-UDP and O4-methyl-UDP have been prepared and copolymerized in various proportions with UDP or CDP, using polynucleotide phosphorylase. The copolymers were used as templates for DNA-dependent...

In vitro discrimination of replicases acting on carcinogen-modified polynucleotide templates

Singer, B., Kuśmierek, J. T., Fraenkel-Conrat, H.

Three different poly(dC)s with modifications that block the N-3 of deoxycytidine were used as templates for polymer synthesis by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (EC 2.7.7.7). In contrast to...
