A series of 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphates (dNTPs) and their alpha-P-thio or alpha-P-borano analogues, i.e., (Sp-dNTPalphaS), (Rp-dNTPalphaB) and (Sp-dNTPalphaB) were studied as substrates for DNA dependent DNA polymerases and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). For HIV-1 RT the Rp-dNTPalphaB isomers are 1.2-fold better substrates than natural dNTPs. For DNA polymerases their efficiencies of incorporation are 3-fold (Klenow, Sequenase) and 5-fold (Taq) lower than for dNTPs. Thus, introduction of the alpha-boranophosphate group into dNTPs increases their selectivity to HIV-1 RT relative to bacterial DNA polymerases.

D001896 Boron Compounds Inorganic or organic compounds that contain boron as an integral part of the molecule. Borides,Compounds, Boron

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.

D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.
