In order to introduce pyrimidine C5-propynyl modification into boranophosphate oligodeoxyribonucleotides (BP- ODNs), 5-(1-propynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-(alpha-P-borano) triphosphate (d5PUTPalphaB) was synthesized. The two diastereomers were separated by reverse-phase HPLC. Kinetic studies showed that the Rp isomer was a slightly better substrate for MMLV reverse transcriptase than thymidine triphosphate or Rp-thymidine 5'-(alpha-P-borano)triphosphate. Using the Rp isomers of d5PUTPalphaB and the other three 5'-(alpha-P-borano) triphosphates, a DNA primer could be extended to the full length of the template.

Modern approaches to the detection and analysis of low-copy-number RNAs are often based on the use of RNA-dependent DNA polymerases, for example, in reverse-transcription PCR. The accuracy and eff iciency of cDNA synthesis in the reverse-transcription reaction catalyzed by reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase) signif icantly affect the correctness of the results of PCR diagnostic assays and/or RNA sequencing. In this regard, many studies are focused on the optimization of the reverse-transcription reaction, including the search for more perfect primers necessary to obtain a full-length DNA copy of RNA under study.

Inosine is ubiquitous and essential in many biological processes, including RNA-editing. In addition, oxidative stress on RNA has been a topic of increasing interest due, in part, to its potential role in the development/progression of disease. In this work we probed the ability of three reverse transcriptases (RTs) to catalyze the synthesis of cDNA in the presence of RNA templates containing inosine (I), 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroinosine (8oxo-I), guanosine (G), or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoG), and explored the impact that these purine derivatives have as a function of position.

We report on the ability of the reverse transcriptases (RTs) from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV), and human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) to generate labeled DNA using the fluorescent tricyclic cytidine analogues d(tC)TP and d( tC)TP as substrates. Michaelis-Menten kinetics for the insertion of these analogues show V /K from 0.0-5 times that of natural dCTP across from G, depending on the polymerase and whether the template is RNA or DNA.

In this study, we investigated CIS reaction (clamping-mediated incorporation of single-stranded DNA with concomitant DNA syntheses) of Moloney murine leukaemia virus reverse transcriptase (MMLV-RT), and established a set of conditions with which single-stranded DNA is ligated to a G-tailed model substrate DNA at efficiencies close to 100%. Prior to the CIS reaction, a target blunt-end DNA was 3' G-tailed by MMLV-RT in the presence of a tailing enhancer, deoxycytidine. In the CIS reaction, the G-tail reacted with a single-stranded DNA carrying a stretch of Cs on its 3' end (termed as GAO for guide adaptor oligonucleotide), and MMLV-RT performed DNA polymerization, starting from the 3' overhang, using the GAO as a template.

To observe the sensitivity of transcription mediated amplification (TMA), and to compare its performance with real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) in detecting human immunodeficiency virus RNA (HIV RNA). Methods: TMA system was established with TaqMan probes, specific primers, moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase, T7 RNA polymerase, and reaction substrates. The sensitivity of TMA was evaluated by amplifying a group of 10-fold diluted HIV RNA standards which were transcribed in vitro.
