Labeled dinucleoside polyphosphates are not commercially available, in spite of being important molecules in metabolic regulation. Firefly luciferase (EC 1.13.12.7) is a useful enzyme for the synthesis of adenosine(5')tetraphospho(5')adenosine (Ap4A). As luciferase behaves as a nucleotidase at low ATP concentration, adequate concentrations (higher than 0.1 mM ATP) should be used to obtain a good yield of labeled Ap4A. [32P]Ap4A has also been synthesized from ATP and [32P]PPi. In a first step, [beta, gamma-32P]ATP is generated in a ATP-[32P]PPi exchange reaction catalyzed by luciferase. In a second step, the reaction is supplemented with pyrophosphatase and 32P labeled Ap4A is obtained. Radioactive adenosine(5')tetraphospho(5')nucleoside (Ap4N) can also be synthesized from ATP gamma S and labeled NTP or from low concentrations of labeled ATP and high concentrations of cold NTP. The syntheses of radioactive ApnA and pnA (n > 4) can also be approached with luciferase.
尽管标记的二核苷多磷酸是代谢调节中的重要分子,但它们并无商业供应。萤火虫荧光素酶(EC 1.13.12.7)是合成腺苷(5')四磷酸(5')腺苷(Ap4A)的有用酶。由于荧光素酶在低ATP浓度下表现为核苷酸酶,因此应使用适当浓度(高于0.1 mM ATP)以获得高产率的标记Ap4A。[32P]Ap4A也已由ATP和[32P]PPi合成。第一步,在荧光素酶催化的ATP-[32P]PPi交换反应中生成[β,γ-32P]ATP。第二步,向反应中加入焦磷酸酶,得到32P标记的Ap4A。放射性腺苷(5')四磷酸(5')核苷(Ap4N)也可由ATPγS和标记的NTP合成,或由低浓度标记ATP和高浓度冷NTP合成。放射性ApnA和pnA(n>4)的合成也可通过荧光素酶实现。
