In order to study the mechanism of action of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) from human placenta, single-stranded (ss) and double-stranded (ds) oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligos), containing deoxyuridine (dU) and a wide variety of their analogs were used. It was shown that UDG has a twofold preference for ss oligos over ds oligos and a twofold preference for intermolecular duplexes over similar hairpin-like duplexes. The replacement of dU with 1-(beta-D-2'-deoxy-threo-pentofuranosil)uracil (xU) or 1-(beta-D-3'-deoxy-threo-pentofuranosil)uracil (tU), which results in a change in sugar hydroxyl configuration, has no influence on UDG binding to such substrates, but inhibits uracil removal. A oligo containing 2'-deoxy-2'-fluorouridine (flU), with a 3'-endo conformation of modified sugar is recognized by UDG 100-200-fold less efficiently than the natural ones. F or Br atoms or a methyl group were introduced at position 5 of a dU residue in an oligo. It was shown that the nature of a substituent at this position is essential for UDG function.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
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).
