Abstract
Eight 3′-modified-dNTPs were synthesized and tested in two different DNA template assays for incorporation activity. From this enzymatic screen, two 3′-O-methyldNTPs were shown to terminate DNA syntheses mediated by a number of polymerases and may be used as alternative terminators in Sanger sequencing. 3-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dATP is a UV sensitive nucleotide and was shown to be incorporated by several thermostable DNA polymerases. Base specific termination and efficient photolytic removal of the 3′-protecting group was demonstrated. Following deprotection, DNA synthesis was reinitiated by the incorporation of natural nucleotides into DNA. The identification of this labile terminator and the demonstration of a one cycle stopstart DNA synthesis are initial steps in the development of a novel sequencing strategy.
