We have investigated the incorporation of 2'-deoxynucleoside-5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphates) into RNA transcripts using T7 RNA polymerase. With the exception of [alpha-S]dGTP, we obtained full-length transcripts of pre-tRNA(Phe) and pre-tRNA(Tyr) using an appropriate mixture of 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) and the corresponding normal nucleoside triphosphate. The yields of the transcripts were comparable to those obtained with unmodified NTPs. Both substrates, [alpha-S]dTTP and [alpha-S]dATP, were inserted specifically. However, [alpha-S]dCTP was excluded at specific sites. We could not obtain transcripts using the deoxyguanosine derivative.

D012313	RNA	A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.

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).
