Abstract

The enzymatic incorporation of modified dNTPs into a growing DNA strand has intensively been studied. Modifications were detectable reporter groups such as digoxigenin or biotin, fluorochromes or aliphatic side chains covalently attached to the base. Incorporation efficiencies were determined with several DNA polymerases using linear primer-extension reactions followed by denaturing PAGE as a high-resolution detection system. We describe the enzymatic synthesis of DNA consisting of modified nucleotides exclusively. A defined template-primer system allows us to trace incorporation: (1) in up to 18 neighboring positions for several dUTP-derivatives; or (2) in stretches of DNA of up to 40 bases in length with complete substitution of all four natural dNTPs by differently modified counterparts. Synthesized DNA molecules are shown to particularly exhibit dramatically altered physico-chemical properties by contrast with native DNA. These results provide a fundamental data set for probe generation in single-molecule DNA sequencing (SMS). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
