title: [The mutagenic activity of N4-(4-aminobutoxy)-2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate].
abstract: We have shown that deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate modified by O-(4-aminobutyl)hydroxylamine in the pyrimidine ring, is effectively incorporated into DNA synthesizing in vitro, replacing deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate or deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate and inducing A-->G and G-->A transitions, respectively. UV spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy have shown that the modified cytidine-5'-triphosphate is identical to N4-(4-aminobutoxy)-2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate. When the modified deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate was inserted into DNA in vitro by DNA polymerase I of E. coli Klenow fragment, retardation sites correlating with poly-A sites (when the modified triphosphate replaced deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate) or with poly-G sites (when it replaced deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate) were revealed. Our data show high mutagenic effect of the modified deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate inserted into DNA, allowing us to recommend this compound for localized static mutagenesis.
