RNA polymerase. Synthesis and kinetic inhibition by 9-(3'-azido-3'-deoxy-beta-D-xylofuranosyl) derivatives of 5'-ATP and 5'-GTP. 1984

D Panka, and D Dennis

The 9-(3'-azido-3'-deoxy-beta-D-xylofuranosyl) nucleoside 5'-triphosphate derivatives of adenine (3'-azido, x-dATP) and guanine (3'-azido, x-dGTP) were prepared by chemical phosphorylation of the corresponding nucleosides. The compounds were characterized by 31P and 1H NMR, high performance liquid chromatography, IR, and TLC. The compounds were examined kinetically and observed to be linear mixed inhibitors for the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli (EC 2.7.7.6); Ki values for the 3'-azido, x-dATP and 3'-azido, x-dGTP compounds are 33 and 0.95 microM, respectively. Neither compound functions as an alternate substrate or as a chain terminator during the normal kinetic time course. The 3'-azido, x-dGTP does exhibit a slow time-dependent irreversible inhibition and may therefore function as an alternate substrate and chain terminator with prolonged incubation. Both compounds (3'-azido, x-dATP and 3'-azido, x-dGTP) are photolabile and will derivatize lysine in a coupled photolytic reaction.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D012321	DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases	Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
