1-(2-Deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)cyanuric acid (cyanuric acid nucleoside, dY) (1) has been shown to be formed upon exposure of DNA components to ionizing radiation and excited photosensitizers. To investigate the biological and structural significance of dY residue in DNA, the latter modified 2'-deoxynucleoside was chemically prepared and then site-specifically incorporated into oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs). This was achieved in good yields using the phosphoramidite approach. For this purpose, a convenient glycosylation method involving 3,5-protected 2-deoxyribofuranoside chloride and cyanuric acid (2,4,6-trihydroxy-1,3,5-triazine) was devised. The anomeric mixture of modified 2'-deoxyribonucleosides (1/2 alpha/beta) was resolved by silica gel purification of the 5'-O-dimethoxytritylated derivatives, and then, phosphitylation afforded the desired beta-phosphoramidite monomer (5). After solid-phase condensation and final deprotection, the purity and the integrity of the modified synthetic DNA fragments were checked using different complementary techniques such as HPLC and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, together with electrospray ionization and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The presence of cyanuric acid nucleoside in a 14-mer was found to have destabilizing effects on the double-stranded DNA fragment as inferred from melting temperature measurements. The piperidine test applied to dY-containing ODNs supported the high stability of cyanuric acid nucleoside inserted into the oligonucleotide chain. Several enzymatic experiments aimed at determining the biological features of such a DNA lesion were carried out. Thus, processing of dY by nuclease P(1), snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVPDE), calf spleen phosphodiesterase (CSPDE), and repair enzymes, including Escherichia coli endonuclease III (endo III) and Fapy glycosylase (Fpg), was investigated. Finally, a 22-mer ODN bearing a cyanuric acid residue was used as a template to study the in vitro nucleotide incorporation opposite the damage by the Klenow fragment of E. coli polymerase I.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009691	Nucleic Acid Denaturation	Disruption of the secondary structure of nucleic acids by heat, extreme pH or chemical treatment. Double strand DNA is "melted" by dissociation of the non-covalent hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Denatured DNA appears to be a single-stranded flexible structure. The effects of denaturation on RNA are similar though less pronounced and largely reversible.

D009693	Nucleic Acid Hybridization	Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D009838	Oligodeoxyribonucleotides	A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties.	Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides
D010880	Piperidines	A family of hexahydropyridines.
D004247	DNA	A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004256	DNA Polymerase I	A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in prokaryotes and may be present in higher organisms. It has both 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but cannot use native double-stranded DNA as template-primer. It is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and is active in both DNA synthesis and repair.
