RESUMO

Two new photoreactive dATP analogs, N6-[4-azidobenzoyl–(2-aminoethyl)]-2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-triphosphate (AB-dATP) and N6-[4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-diazirin-3-yl]benzoyl-(2-aminoethyl)]-2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-triphosphate (DB-dATP), were synthesized from 2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-monophosphate in a six step procedure. Synthesis starts with aminoethylation of dAMP and continues with rearrangement of N1-(2-aminoethyl)-2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-monophosphate to N6-(2-aminoethyl)-2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-monophosphate (N6-dAMP). Next, N6-dAMP is converted into the triphosphate form by first protecting the N-6 primary amino group before coupling the pyrophosphate. After pyrophosphorylation, the material is deprotected to yield N6-(2-aminoethyl)-2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-triphosphate (N6-dATP). The N-6 amino group is subsequently used to attach either a phenylazide or phenyldiazirine and the photoreactive nucleotide is then enzymatically incorporated into DNA. N6-dATP and its photoreactive analogs AB-dATP and DB-dATP were successfully incorporated into DNA using the exonuclease-free Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I in a primer extension reaction. UV irradiation of the primer extension reaction with AB-dATP or DB-dATP showed specific photocrosslinking of DNA polymerase I to DNA.
