1,N6-Ethenoadenosine (epsilon A) and 3,N4-Ethenocytidine (epsilon C) in copolymers with unmodified nucleosides were transcribed using DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in the presence of Mn2+. Nearest neighbor analysis of the products showed that epsilon A directed incorporation of A much greater than U greater than C while epsilon C directed the incorporation of U greater than or equal to A much greater than C Neither directed G into the complementary polymer. Such misincorporations resulting from epsilon A and epsilon C, compounds that are formed in vivo by the carcinogen vinyl chloride, may have a biological role as promutagens.
在存在锰离子的情况下,使用依赖DNA的RNA聚合酶转录了与未修饰核苷形成共聚物的N6-乙烯基腺苷(εA)和3,N4-乙烯基胞苷(εC)。对产物的邻位分析表明,εA指导A的掺入量远大于U大于C,而εC指导U的掺入量大于或等于A远大于C,两者均未将G掺入互补聚合物中。由εA和εC导致的这种错误掺入,这两种化合物是由致癌物氯乙烯在体内形成的,可能作为促诱变剂具有生物学作用。
