Abstract: | Dipivaloyl-5-carboxyfluorescein N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester 1 and 5-propargylamino-2',3'-dideoxyuridine triphosphate 5 were modified with maleimide, haloacetamide, and sulfhydryl reactive functional groups to participate in cross-conjugation reactions via sulfide bonds to generate fluorescently labeled, thioether cross-conjugated terminators 10 and 11. Their DNA sequencing potential was compared with an amide cross-conjugated terminator 13, synthesized by directly coupling 5-carboxyfluorescein NHS ester with 18-ddUTP 9. These terminators (10, 11, and 13) in combination with the Thermo Sequenase II DNA polymerase, in thermal cycle sequencing experiments, revealed that the thioether cross-conjugated terminator 10 and amide cross-conjugated terminator 13 served as good terminating substrates, generating satisfactory single-color gel images and electropherograms, while the other thioether cross-conjugated and maleimide derived one 11 underwent unexpected pH and temperature induced decomposition without showing fluorescent signatures for incorporation. |
