RESUMO
A procedure is reported for the isolation of cross-linked nucleosides from nitrous acid-treated calf thymus DNA. Cross-linked DNA was hydrolyzed enzymatically with deoxyribonuclease I and snake venom phosphodiesterase and fractionated on a DEAE-Sephadex column. After desalting, the fractions were characterized by ultraviolet spectroscopy, anion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography, gel filtration, and two dimensional thin layer chromatography. A cross-linked dinucleotide, and a series of oligonucleotides were isolated. The oligomers, which had resisted digestion by the above enzyme system, were digested to the nucleoside level by a spleen phosphodiesterase-alkaline phosphatase combination. A second cross-linked product was isolated from this mixture. The cross-linked nucleosides were less than 0.17% of the total nucleotides of the DNA. The methods developed here are recommended for the isolation of products from DNA treated with other cross-linking agents.
