Incorporation of label from ribose into 5-(4',5'-dihydroxypentyl) uracil of bacteriophage SP15 DNA.
Radioactively labeled ribose was incorporated into the glucosylated deoxynucleoside monophosphate of 5-(4',5'-dihydroxypentyl)uracil of bacteriophage SP15 DNA to a greater extent than into the other pyrimidine deoxynucleoside monophosphates. Results from formic acid hydrolysis of the deoxynucleoside monophosphates to their bases suggest that label from ribose is incorporated into the dihydroxypentyl side chain of 5-(4',5'-dihydroxypentyl)uracil.
