Photoregulation of DNA polymerase I (Klenow) with caged fluorescent oligodeoxynucleotides.

Published: December 2005

The DNA polymerase reaction by Klenow fragment (KF) was efficiently regulated with UV light using a 25-mer caged fluorescent oligodeoxynucleotide (CFO) as the template. The CFO was functionalized with a fluorescein reporter (Fl) and photocleavable DABSYL quencher moiety (Dab). With Fl and Dab at adjacent cytidines in the middle at the template, KF was blocked from extending a complementary 12-mer primer. Upon UV photolysis of the DABSYL blocking group under aerobic conditions, fluorescein emission was restored and 50% of the primers were fully extended by KF.

Single-nucleotide-resolution genomic maps of O6-methylguanine from the glioblastoma drug temozolomide.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich, Schmelzbergstrasse 9, Zurich 8092, Switzerland.

Temozolomide kills cancer cells by forming O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG), which leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, O6-MeG repair by O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) contributes to drug resistance. Characterizing genomic profiles of O6-MeG could elucidate how O6-MeG accumulation is influenced by repair, but there are no methods to map genomic locations of O6-MeG.
