Mung-bean (Phaseolus aureus) nuclease has been found to cleave the Sp diastereoisomer of 5'-O-thymidyl 3'-O-(2'-deoxyadenosyl)phosphorothioate, (Sp)-d[Ap(S)T], in 18O-labelled water with inversion of configuration at phosphorus to give (Sp)-thymidine 5'-[16O, 18O]phosphorothioate, the stereochemistry of which was deduced by methylation to (Rp,Sp)-thymidine 5'-S-methyl-O-methyl-[16O,18O]phosphorothioate and 31P-n.m.r. analysis. This result is consistent with a mechanism involving a direct 'in-line' attack of water on DNA for the nuclease-catalysed reaction without the involvement of a covalent nucleotidylated-enzyme intermediate.
已发现绿豆核酸酶能在18O标记的水中切割5'-O-胸苷基3'-O-(2'-脱氧腺苷基)硫代磷酸酯的Sp非对映异构体(Sp)-d[Ap(S)T],磷原子处构型翻转,生成(Sp)-胸苷5'-[16O, 18O]硫代磷酸酯,其立体化学结构通过甲基化转化为(Rp,Sp)-胸苷5'-S-甲基-O-甲基-[16O,18O]硫代磷酸酯并经31P核磁共振分析推导得出。该结果与一种机制相符,即对于核酸酶催化的反应,水直接“直线式”进攻DNA,不涉及共价核苷酸化酶中间体。
