To obtain the information for the role of replication protein A (RPA) on the detection of oxidized lesion in the single-stranded DNA, the binding preference of RPA purified from Xenopus egg lysate against the oligonucleotide containing one of three kinds of oxidized thymine residues, 5-formyluracil, 5-hydroxymethyluracil and 5-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)uracil, was studied by the gel shift assay. Results of competition assay indicate that RPA preferentially binds to the oligonucleotide containing these oxidized thymine residues than the undamaged DNA.
为了获取复制蛋白A(RPA)在单链DNA中氧化损伤检测方面的作用信息,通过凝胶迁移试验研究了从非洲爪蟾卵裂解物中纯化的RPA对含有三种氧化胸腺嘧啶残基之一(5-甲酰基尿嘧啶、5-羟甲基尿嘧啶和5-(1,2-二羟乙基)尿嘧啶)的寡核苷酸的结合偏好。竞争试验结果表明,与未损伤的DNA相比,RPA优先结合含有这些氧化胸腺嘧啶残基的寡核苷酸。
