A DNA fragment with an alpha-phosphorothioate nucleotide at one end is asymmetrically blocked from digestion by exonuclease III and can be replicated in vivo.

Abstract: 2'-Deoxyadenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (dATP [caS]) was introduced into the 3' ends of DNA restriction fragments with Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I to give phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages. Such "capped" 3' ends were found to. be resistant to exonuclease III digestion. Moreover, the resistance to digestion is great enough that, under conditions used by us, just one strand ofa double helix is digested by exonuclease III when a cap is placed at only one end; when digestion is carried to complet… Show more

“…A series of pTEX7-TIBFC mutants lacking the 3' portion of the TIBFC region was constructed essentially by the method described by Henikoff (21) and by Putney et a1 (22). Briefly, pTEX7-TIBFC was digested with Pst I and Barn HI, after which only the 3'-recessive end of the Bum HI site was deleted with exonuclease 111.…”

“…Constructs corresponding to (a) a 2023 bp EcoRI/BamHI fragment from the 5' untranslated region of human N-myc (pE/B N-myc CAT, (b) an 843 bp 5' fragment obtained from SacII cleavage of pE/B (pSII/B N-myc CAT), and (c) a 2821 bp EcoRI/EcoRI fragment spanning exon 1 and extending into intron 1 (pE/E N-myc CAT), were obtained by appropriate restriction digestion (Figure 1) (Putney et al, 1981). Individual clones were sequenced by the dideoxy termination technique to determine the precise locations of deletions.…”

“…Repair synthesis was conducted with all four dNTP[aS]s (each at 20 ,uM) and either [a-32P]dCTP or [a-32P]dATP (4 ,uCi per reaction mixture) as the radioactive label. To determine the 3' end of the patch, appropriate restriction fragments were isolated and the DNA was treated with exonuclease III (exoll) as described (20,21).…”
