An immunochemical probe for 8,5'-cycloadenosine-5'-monophosphate and its deoxy analog in irradiated nucleic acids. 1985

A F Fuciarelli, and G G Miller, and J A Raleigh

Polyclonal antisera specific for 8,5'-cycloadenosine-5'-monophosphate (8,5'-cyclo-AMP) or its deoxy analog (8,5'-cyclo-dAMP) were elicited by immunizing rabbits with a conjugate prepared by the method of Johnston et al. [Biochemistry 22, 3453-3460 (1983)]. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and used to detect the formation of these products in irradiated solutions of polyadenylic acid [poly(A)] or DNA which were saturated with nitrous oxide, nitrogen, or oxygen. The 8,5'-cyclo-AMP or 8,5'-cyclo-dAMP moieties could be detected in poly(A) at 1.0 krad and in native DNA at 10 krad, respectively. The yield of 8,5'-cyclo-dAMP was found to be two to three times higher in irradiated double-stranded DNA than in single-stranded DNA. The hydroxyl radical appears to initiate 8,5'-cyclonucleotide formation in irradiated nucleic acids, as demonstrated by the inhibition of 8,5'-cyclo-AMP formation in irradiated poly(A) by dimethyl sulfoxide. However, irradiation under nitrous oxide, particularly at low doses, does not lead to the expected increases in the yield of the 8,5'-cyclonucleotide.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D009609 Nitrous Oxide Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream. Laughing Gas,Nitrogen Protoxide,Gas, Laughing,Oxide, Nitrous
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D011061 Poly A A group of adenine ribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each adenine ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties. Adenine Polynucleotides,Polyadenylic Acids,Poly(rA),Polynucleotides, Adenine
D003037 Cobalt Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of cobalt that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Co atoms with atomic weights of 54-64, except 59, are radioactive cobalt isotopes. Radioisotopes, Cobalt
D003838 Deoxyadenine Nucleotides Adenine nucleotides which contain deoxyribose as the sugar moiety. Deoxyadenosine Phosphates,Nucleotides, Deoxyadenine,Phosphates, Deoxyadenosine
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).

D004307 Dose-Response Relationship, Radiation The relationship between the dose of administered radiation and the response of the organism or tissue to the radiation. Dose Response Relationship, Radiation,Dose-Response Relationships, Radiation,Radiation Dose-Response Relationship,Radiation Dose-Response Relationships,Relationship, Radiation Dose-Response,Relationships, Radiation Dose-Response
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
