A 3'-exonuclease(s) that excised 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) monophosphate (AZTMP) from the 3' terminus of DNA was partially purified from two human cell lines. AZTMP inhibited the hydrolysis of AZTMP-terminated single-stranded and double-stranded DNA substrates. Thus, high levels of AZTMP might inhibit the exonuclease and trigger the toxicity of AZT by impairing the repair of AZTMP-terminated DNA.
从两个人类细胞系中部分纯化出一种3'-外切核酸酶,该酶能从DNA的3'末端切除3'-叠氮-3'-脱氧胸苷单磷酸(AZTMP)。AZTMP抑制了以AZTMP为末端的单链和双链DNA底物的水解。因此,高水平的AZTMP可能会抑制外切核酸酶,并通过损害以AZTMP为末端的DNA的修复来引发AZT的毒性。
