Utilization of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine triphosphate and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine triphosphate in DNA synthesis by DNA polymerases alpha and beta from calf thymus. 1981

M Tanaka, and S Yoshida, and M Saneyoshi, and T Yamaguchi

Chemically synthesized 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate were used efficiently as substitutes for DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerases alpha or beta from calf thymus. 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate and 5'-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate were incorporated into DNA in place of deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate and deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate, respectively. The incorporated pyrimidine analogs supported further elongation of DNA. The apparent Km's for 5-fluorodeoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate in the reaction of DNA polymerases alpha and beta were 4.3 and 15.4 microM, while those of 5-fluorodeoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate with DNA polymerases alpha and beta were 7.7 and 8.8 microM, respectively, which are comparable to Km's for natural substrates. These results suggest the new possibility that the fluorinated pyrimidines are incorporated into DNA via their triphosphate forms to exhibit their cytostatic actions.

D003856 Deoxyuracil Nucleotides Uracil nucleotides which contain deoxyribose as the sugar moiety. Deoxyuridine Phosphates,Nucleotides, Deoxyuracil,Phosphates, Deoxyuridine
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.

D004257 DNA Polymerase II A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in E. coli and other lower organisms. It may be present in higher organisms and has an intrinsic molecular activity only 5% of that of DNA Polymerase I. This polymerase has 3'-5' exonuclease activity, is effective only on duplex DNA with gaps or single-strand ends of less than 100 nucleotides as template, and is inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents.

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.

D005468 Fluorodeoxyuridylate 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxyuridylate. An inhibitor of thymidylate synthetase. Formed from 5-fluorouracil or 5-fluorodeoxyuridine. 5-Fluoro-2'-Deoxyuridine-5'-Monophosphate,FdUMP,5 Fluoro 2' Deoxyuridine 5' Monophosphate
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
