title: 32P-postlabelling of 7-methyl-dGMP ring-opened 7-methyl-dGMP and platinated dGpdG.
abstract: The 32P-postlabelling technique introduced by Randerath and coworkers was used to investigate the efficiency of the phosphorylation reaction by T4 polynucleotide kinase using three synthesized adducts: 7-methyl-dGMP, ring-opened 7-methyl-dGMP and platinated dGpdG. The methylated substrates were detected at sub-fmol sensitivities. 7-Methyl-dGMP was quantitatively phosphorylated at these low concentrations. The efficiency of phosphorylation of the ring-opened product was less (about one order of magnitude) and that of Pt(dGpdG) about three orders of magnitude less. These results show that T4 polynucleotide kinase phosphorylation is an efficient reaction with 7-methyl-dGMP and with ring-opened 7-methyl-dGMP, even though in the latter case longer incubation times may have to be used to boost the reaction towards completion. By contrast, the low level of phosphorylation with Pt(dGpdG) does not appear encouraging for quantitative determination requiring a high sensitivity.
