Abstract
The photoreactivity of 5-halouracil-containing DNA was investigated using 450 base pair DNA fragments under 302 nm irradiation. Heat-dependent cleavage selectively occurs at 5'-(G/C)AAXUXU-3' and 5'-(G/C)AXUXU-3' (X = Br, I) sequences in double-stranded DNA. HPLC product analysis indicated that 2'-deoxyribonolactone residues are effectively generated at these sequences. These observations will be useful in studying the molecular basis of the sequence-dependent DNA-damaging process in UV-irradiated 5-halouracil-containing DNA.Entities:
