Abstract
One of the most efficient ways to link a reporter group to oligonucleotides is through the incorporation of a modified nucleoside during automated oligonucleotide synthesis. To be useful, it is important that the reporter group not interfere in hybridization reactions. This unit describes two linkers that can be used for the incorporation of a reporter group at the C5 position of deoxyuridine: a flexible aminoethylthioether linker, and a rigid amidopropynyl linker. The latter is sufficiently long and positioned so that the reporter group lies outside the major groove of the DNA duplex.

Abstract
A two-step general method for labeling of synthetic oligonucleotides is described. The protocol employs a cleavable universal linker, 5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-3'-O-benzoyl-2'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl)-uridine phosphoramidite, to effect coupling to polymer-bound oligonucleotide chains. Sequentially, coupling with commercially available phosphoramidite reagent of an appropriate label (Biotin, HEX etc.) in an automated DNA synthesizer is carried out. The labeled oligomers, obtained after cleavage and deprotection reactions, are analyzed on RP-HPLC. A distinctive feature of this protocol is the recovery of free oligomers from their labeled analogs under mild conditions. The oligomers obtained are comparable to the corresponding standard oligonucleotides (HPLC).

Abstract
Local DNA deformation arises from an interplay among sequence-related base stacking, intrastrand phosphate repulsion, and counterion and water distribution, which is further complicated by the approach and binding of a protein. The role of electrostatics in this complex chemistry was investigated using tethered cationic groups that mimic proximate side chains. A DNA duplex was modified with one or two centrally located deoxyuracils substituted at the 5-position with either a flexible 3-aminopropyl group or a rigid 3-aminopropyn-1-yl group. End-to-end helical distances and duplex flexibility were obtained from measurements of the time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer between 5′- and 3′-linked dye pairs. A novel analysis utilized the first and second moments of the G(t) function, which encompasses only the energy transfer process. Duplex flexibility is altered by the presence of even a single positive charge. In contrast, the mean 5′–3′ distance is significantly altered by the introduction of two adjacently tethered cations into the double helix but not by a single cation: two adjacent aminopropyl groups decrease the 5′–3′ distance while neighboring aminopropynyl groups lengthen the helix.

Abstract
DNA polymerases with intrinsic proofreading activity interact with DNA primer/templates in two distinct modes, corresponding to the complexes formed during the 5'-3' polymerization or 3'-5' editing of a nascent DNA chain. Thermodynamic measurements designed to quantify the energetic contributions of individual DNA-protein contacts in either the polymerizing or editing complexes are complicated by the fact that both species exist in solution and are not resolved in conventional DNA-protein binding assays. To overcome this problem, we have developed a new binding analysis that combines information from steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence experiments and uses the Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (KF) and fluorescently labeled primer/template oligonucleotides as a model polymerase-DNA system. Steady-state fluorescence titrations are used to evaluate the overall affinity of KF for the primer/template, while time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy is used to quantify the equilibrium fractions of the primer/template bound in the polymerizing and editing modes. From a combined analysis of both data, the equilibrium constant and hence standard free energy change associated with each binding mode can be obtained unequivocally. This method is initially used to determine the equilibrium constants describing binding of a correctly base-paired primer/template to the 5'-3' polymerase and 3'-5' exonuclease sites of KF. It is then extended to quantify the extent to which these parameters are affected by the introduction of mismatches into the primer/template, and by rearrangement of specific side-chains in the exonuclease domain of the protein. While these perturbants were originally designed to demonstrate the utility of our new approach, they are also relevant in their own right since they have helped identify some hitherto unknown determinants of polymerase fidelity.

Abstract
Prior to undergoing postsynthetic 3'-5' editing (proofreading), a defective DNA primer terminus must be transferred from the 5'-3' polymerase active site to a remote 3'-5' exonuclease site. To elucidate the mechanisms by which this occurs, we have used time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to study the interaction of dansyl-labeled DNA primer/templates with the Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. The dansyl probe is positioned such that when the DNA substrate occupies the polymerase active site, the probe is solvent-exposed and possesses a short average fluorescence lifetime (4.7 ns) and extensive angular diffusion (42.5 degrees). Conversely, when the DNA substrate occupies the exonuclease active site, the probe becomes buried within the protein, resulting in an increase in the average lifetime (14.1 ns) and a decrease in the degree of angular diffusion (14.4 degrees ). If both polymerase and exonuclease binding modes are populated (lower limit approximately 5%), their markedly different fluorescence properties cause the anisotropy to decay with a characteristic "dip and rise" shape. Nonlinear least-squares analysis of these data recovers the ground-state mole fractions of exposed (x(e)) and buried (x(b)) probes, which are equivalent to the equilibrium proportions of the DNA substrate bound at the polymerase and exonuclease sites, respectively. The distribution between the polymerase and exonuclease binding modes is given by the equilibrium partitioning constant K(pe) (equal to x(b)/x(e)). The important determinants of the proofreading process can therefore be identified by changes made to either the protein or DNA that perturb the partitioning equilibrium and hence alter the magnitude of K(pe).

Abstract
Syntheses of two analogs of deoxyuridine with N,N-dialkylaniline chromophores are reported. 5-[3-(N-methylphenylamino)propanoyl]-2'-deoxyuridine (1) and 5-[2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)ethyl)]-2'-deoxyuridine (2) are prepared by palladium-mediated coupling. Preparation of 2 was facilitated by in situ transient O4-trimethylsilyl protection during alkynylation which suppressed secondary cyclization of the coupling adduct.

Abstract
Two series of modified oligonucleotides based on the self-complementary dodecamer d(CGCTAATTAGCG) were synthesized. The first contained the -C identical withCCH2R linker at C5 of deoxyuridine at position 4 (T*) of d(CGCT*AATTAGCG) and the second contained the -SR linker. The goal of the study was to evaluate and compare these two types of side chains for suitability as tethers for linking reporter groups to oligonucleotides. Our primary concern was how these tethers would effect duplex stability. The modified nucleosides were synthesized by palladium-mediated coupling reactions between the substituted alkyne and 5'-(4, 4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine and between a disulfide and 5-chloromercurio-2'-deoxyuridine. The C5 deoxyuridine side chains evaluated included C identical with CCH3, C identical with CCH2NHC(O)CH3, C identical with CCH2N(CH3)2, C identical with CCH2N-HC(O)C5H4N, C identical with CCH2NHC(O)C10H15, SCH3, SC6H5 and SCH2CH2NHC(O)CH3. The nucleosides containing these substituents were incorporated into oligo-deoxyribonucleotides by standard phosphoramidite methodology. Melting studies demonstrated that the sequence containing the C identical with CCH3side chain had the highest T m value (59.1 degrees C) in comparison with the control sequence (T m = 55.2 degrees C) and that any additional substituent on C3 of the propynyl group lowered the T m value relative to propynyl. Nevertheless, even the most destabilizing substituent, adamantylcarbamoyl, yielded an oligodeoxyribonucleotide that dissociated with a T m of 54 degrees C, which is only 1.2 degrees C less than the control sequence. In contrast, the thioether substituents led to lower T m values, ranging from as low as 45.1 degrees C for SPh up to 52.2 degrees C for SMe. Replacing the methyl of the SMe substituent with a CH2CH2NHC(O)CH3 tether led to no further reduction in melting temperature. The T m value of the CH2CH2NHC(O)CH3-containing oligonucleotide was less than the natural sequence by 1.6 degrees C/substituent. This is sufficiently small that it is anticipated that the C5 thioether linkage may be as useful as the acetylenic linkage for tethering reporter groups to oligonucleotides. More importantly, the thioether linkage provides a means to position functional groups to interact specifically with opposing complementary (target) sequences.

Abstract
Photolabile 2'-deoxy- E -5-[4-(3-trifluoromethyl-3 H-diazirin-3-yl)styryl]uridine and its protected phosphoramidite derivatives have been synthesized and introduced into DNA oligomers through solid-phase DNA synthesis. The (trifluoromethyldiazirinyl)stylyl moiety of this nucleoside was found to be sufficiently stable for automated DNA synthesis. In addition, this moiety was found to be stable at 60 degrees C in aqueous solution under the annealing conditions for duplex formation with complementary strands, since >95% of the photolabile nucleoside remained after heating for 1 h. The oligo(dT) 15mer analog bearing the photolabile residue was activated/decomposed by near-UV irradiation. In photoaffinity cross-linking experiments with recombinant rat DNA polymerasebeta, constituted from a 40 kDa polypeptide, using oligo(dT) 15mer analogs bearing the photolabile residue near the 3'-terminus, a covalently bound complex of 45 kDa was obtained in the presence of complementary templates. Thus it was demonstrated that our method for synthesis of photolabile oligodeoxyribonucleotides may be useful for studies of DNA-related enzymes and DNA binding proteins.

Abstract
Enzymatic incorporation of 2',3'-dideoxynucleotides into DNA results in chain termination. We report that 3'-esterified 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphates (dNTPs) are false chain-terminator substrates since DNA polymerases, including human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase, can incorporate them into DNA and, subsequently, use this new 3' end to insert the next correctly paired dNTP. Likewise, a DNA substrate with a primer chemically esterified at the 3' position can be extended efficiently upon incubation with dNTPs and T7 DNA polymerase lacking 3'-to-5' exonuclease activity. This enzyme is also able to use dTTP-bearing reporter groups in the 3' position conjugated through amide or thiourea bonds and cleave them to restore a DNA chain terminated by an amino group at the 3' end. Hence, a number of DNA polymerases exhibit wide catalytic versatility at the 3' end of the nascent DNA strand. As part of the polymerization mechanism, these capabilities extend the number of enzymatic activities associated with these enzymes and also the study of interactions between DNA polymerases and nucleotide analogues.

Abstract
Several 2'-modified ribonucleoside phosphoramidites have been prepared for structure-activity studies of the hammerhead ribozyme. The aim of these studies was to design and synthesize catalytically active and nuclease-resistant ribozymes. Synthetic schemes for stereoselective synthesis of the R isomer of 2'-deoxy-2'-C-allyl uridine and cytidine phosphoramidites, based on the Keck allylation procedure, were developed. Protection of the 2'-amino group in 2'-deoxy-2'-aminouridine was optimized and a method for the convenient preparation of 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-2'-deoxy-2'-phthalimidouridine 3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidite) was developed. During the attempted preparation of the 2'-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-3'-O-phosphoramidite of arabinouridine a reversed regioselectivity in the silylation reaction, compared with the published procedure, was observed, as well as the unexpected formation of the 2,2'-anhydronucleoside. A possible mechanism for this cyclization is proposed. The synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2'-methylene and 2'-deoxy-2'-difluoromethylene uridine phosphoramidites is described. Based on a '5-ribose' model for essential 2'-hydroxyls in the hammerhead ribozyme these 2'-modified monomers were incorporated at positions U4 and/or U7 of the catalytic core. A number of these ribozymes had almost wild-type catalytic activity and improved stability in human serum, compared with an all-RNA molecule.

Abstract
Fluorescently labelled 42 base pair DNA duplexes were synthesised to examine the interaction between the TyR repressor protein of Escherichia coli and its DNA recognition sequence. An Fmoc-protected 5-(3-aminoprop-l-yn-l-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine phosphoramidite was synthesised and incorporated into oligonucleotides using standard beta-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite chemistry. Oligonucleotides containing the 3-aminopropynyl nucleotide at internal positions were reacted with fluorescein isothiocyanate to generate fluorescent DNA molecules useful for characterising interactions between DNA and proteins. Short DNA duplexes were investigated with respect to their melting temperatures and their ability to bind TyrR. Oligonucleotides containing a TyrR binding site were labelled in the central region of the recognition sequence or near the 5' edge of the recognition sequence. Fluorescein-labelled oligonucleotides could hybridise to form duplex DNA, and gel retardation experiments showed that the presence of the dye did not alter the binding affinity for the TyrR protein significantly. Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used to examine the binding equilibrium in low and high salt buffers. A dissociation constant of 200-500 nM was obtained for the interaction of the TyrR dimer with a 42 bp duplex containing a centrally located 22 bp TyrR binding site.

Abstract
Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme forms a stable initiation complex with RNA-primed template in the presence of ATP. To determine the linear arrangement of the holoenzyme subunits along the primer-template duplex region, we cross-linked holoenzyme to a series of photo-reactive primers. Site-specific photo-cross-linking revealed that the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits formed ATP-dependent contacts with the primer-template. The alpha-polymerase catalytic subunit covalently attached to nucleotide positions -3, -9, and -13 upstream of the primer terminus, with the most efficient adduct formation occurring at position -9. The gamma subunit contacted the primer at positions -13, -18, and -22, with the strongest gamma-primer interactions occurring at position -18. The beta subunit predominated in cross-linking at position -22. Thus, within the initiation complex, alpha contacts roughly the first 13 nucleotides upstream of the 3'-primer terminus followed by gamma at -18 and beta at -22, and the gamma subunit remains a part of the initiation complex, bridging the alpha and beta subunits. Analyses of the interaction of photo-activatible primer-templates with the preinitiation complex proteins (gamma-complex (gamma-delta-delta'-chi-psi) and beta subunit) revealed the gamma subunit within the preinitiation complex covalently attached to primer at position -3. However, addition of core DNA polymerase III to preinitiation complex, fully reconstituting holoenzyme resulted in replacement of gamma by alpha at the primer terminus. These data indicate that assembly of holoenzyme onto a primer-template can occur in distinct stages and results in a structural rearrangement during initiation complex formation.

Abstract
Cross-link formation, within the duplex, by oligodeoxynucleotides containing a 5-[omega-(omega-haloacylamido)alkyl]-2'-deoxyuridine to a complementary oligodeoxynucleotide was investigated under conditions approximating the physiologic environment. The site and extent of crosslinking to the target strand were determined for several electrophilic haloacylamidoalkyl structures. The regiospecificity of alkylation was primarily determined by the length of the electrophilic haloacylamidoalkyl group, while the extent of reaction was dependent upon both the structure of the acylamidoalkyl group and the reactivity of the electrophile. Cross-linking was additionally modulated by the sequence of the duplex in the vicinity of the alkylation site. The exact placement of the electrophile adjacent to the targeted nucleophile, an N-7 group on a specific guanine base in the target strand, was the most important factor in determining the rate of reaction. With the optimal haloacylamidoalkyl structure and duplex sequence, the most rapid rate obtained was t1/2 = 1.3 h at 37 degrees C.

Abstract
Fluorescence energy transfer is potentially a useful technique for obtaining structural and dynamic information on duplex and branched DNA molecules suitably labeled with donor and acceptor dyes. We have assessed the accuracy and limitations of FET measurements in nucleic acids with respect to the localization of the dyes and the flexibility of the dye-DNA linkages. A nine base-pair duplex oligonucleotide was synthesized with donor and acceptor dyes linked at the opposing 5' termini by alkyl chains. A careful analysis of the fluorescence decay of the donor revealed that the donor-acceptor distance in this molecule was not well defined, but was described by a rather broad distribution. The mean donor-acceptor distance and the distribution of distances have been recovered from the donor decay. Orientational effects on energy transfer have been included in the analysis. The implications of these findings for FET measurements in nucleic acids are considered.

Abstract
As a prerequisite for the synthesis of affinity labels, we describe methods to couple histones to ribonucleic acids. For the synthesis of these covalent hybrid molecules, we used a population of histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 from calf thymus and polyadenylic acid with an average chain length of up to 260-280 bases, representing the size of poly(A)-tails from mature mRNAs. Three methods were investigated. (a) Poly(A) containing an 8-N3-A residue was cross-linked to histones by ultraviolet irradiation. (b) The 3'-end of the polynucleotide was connected to a mononucleotide containing an aliphatic amino group, and the resulting poly(A)-derivative was coupled to histones via derivation with a bromoacetyl group. (c) The 3'-end of the polynucleotide was oxidized with sodium periodate and bound covalently to an amino group of the polypeptide. To demonstrate the RNA content of the hybrid molecule, the poly(A) was removed with RNase T2.

Abstract
T4 DNA polymerase, the 44/62 and 45 polymerase accessory proteins, and 32 single-stranded DNA-binding protein catalyze ATP-dependent DNA synthesis. Using DNA primers with cross-linkable residues at specific positions, we obtained structural data that reveal how these proteins assemble on the primer-template. With the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog ATP gamma S, assembly of the 44/62 and 45 proteins on the primer requires 32 protein but not polymerase. ATP hydrolysis changes the position and intensity of cross-linking to each of the accessory proteins and allows cross-linking of polymerase. Our data indicate that the initial binding of the three accessory proteins and ATP to a 32 protein-covered primer-template is followed by ATP hydrolysis, binding of polymerase, and movement of the accessory proteins to yield a complex capable of processive DNA synthesis.

Abstract
A novel and versatile phosphoramidite, N-Fmoc-O1-DMT-O2-cyanoethoxydiisopropylamino-phosphinyl-3-am ino-1,2-propanediol (1, Fig. 1), has been synthesized and used to incorporate primary aliphatic amines into synthetic oligonucleotides. Its convenient preparation and use in solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis is described. Using phosphoramidite 1, an amino-modified oligonucleotide probe complementary to M13mp18 DNA was constructed with five primary amines attached to the 5'-terminus. The amino-modified oligonucleotide was subsequently labeled with biotin and employed in a dot-blot hybridization assay. As little as 0.5 ng of M13mp18 target DNA was colorimetrically detected.
