Product Description
dGTP (2'-Deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate) is a guanosine nucleotide used in the synthesis/preparation of deoxyribonucleic acid. Guanosine nucleotides (GDP, GTP, dGDP, dGTP) are highly sensitive to oxidative damage to 8-O-GDP (8-O-GDP), 8-O-dGTP, 8-O-GTP and 8-O-dGTP .
dGTP (2'-Deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate, CAS 2564-35-4) is a naturally occurring deoxyribonucleotide that serves as one of the four essential building blocks for DNA synthesis. Its molecular formula is C10H16N5O13P3 with a molecular weight of 507.18 g/mol. dGTP is a substrate for DNA polymerases and is incorporated into growing DNA strands opposite cytosine during replication and repair. It plays a crucial role in cellular DNA metabolism and is fundamental to all molecular biology applications involving DNA amplification and sequencing. dGTP is also a key intermediate in purine metabolism.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary biological target of dGTP is DNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for DNA synthesis. dGTP serves as a substrate for DNA polymerases during DNA replication, where it is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA strand complementary to the template guanine residue. Additionally, dGTP is a substrate for reverse transcriptases in retroviruses. The nucleotide also functions as a substrate for various other enzymes involved in nucleic acid metabolism, including terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase and DNA repair enzymes.
ln Vitro
dGTP exhibits potent in vitro activity as a substrate for DNA polymerases in cell-free systems. In polymerase chain reaction (PCR), dGTP is incorporated into amplified DNA products at concentrations typically ranging from 200-400 μM. The nucleotide supports efficient DNA synthesis with incorporation rates dependent on the specific DNA polymerase used. dGTP also serves as a substrate in DNA sequencing reactions, in vitro transcription systems, and various nucleic acid amplification technologies including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and rolling circle amplification.
ln Vivo
dGTP is an endogenous metabolite present in all living cells and does not function as a drug with direct cellular activity. In cell culture applications, dGTP is typically not added exogenously as cells synthesize their own nucleotide pools through de novo and salvage pathways. However, dGTP can be supplied in cell-free systems for in vitro DNA synthesis reactions. In cellular contexts, dGTP levels are tightly regulated to ensure proper DNA replication fidelity, and imbalances in dGTP pools can lead to mutagenesis and genomic instability.
Enzyme Assay
Standard in vitro assays for dGTP involve its use as a substrate in DNA polymerase reactions. In PCR, dGTP is typically included at 200 μM each of the four dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP) in a reaction buffer containing 10-50 mM KCl, 1.5-2.5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% gelatin or BSA, and 0.2 μM each primer, with 1-2.5 units of DNA polymerase. The reaction is subjected to thermal cycling: 94°C denaturation for 30 seconds, 55-65°C annealing for 30 seconds, and 72°C extension for 1 minute per kb, repeated for 25-40 cycles. In DNA sequencing, dGTP is included along with dideoxy chain terminators for Sanger sequencing.
Cell Assay
In cell culture, dGTP is typically not added to media as cells synthesize their own nucleotides. However, dGTP can be used in cell-based assays to study nucleotide metabolism. Cells are cultured in appropriate media (e.g., DMEM with 10% FBS) and treated with inhibitors of nucleotide synthesis. Intracellular dGTP levels can be measured by HPLC or LC-MS/MS after extraction. The effect of dGTP on cellular functions can be assessed by modulating its intracellular concentration through the use of nucleoside transporters or by inhibiting enzymes involved in its synthesis or degradation.
Animal Protocol
dGTP is a natural metabolite and is not administered as a drug in animal studies. However, radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled dGTP can be used in animal studies to track DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Typical protocols involve administration of labeled dGTP (e.g., [3H]-dGTP or BrdU) via intravenous injection in mice at doses of 50-200 mg/kg. Tissues are harvested at various time points (1-24 hours) and analyzed for incorporation into DNA by scintillation counting or immunohistochemistry.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
dGTP is an endogenous nucleotide with rapid turnover in cells. The intracellular concentration of dGTP is tightly regulated and typically ranges from 10-50 μM in mammalian cells. dGTP is synthesized from GDP via ribonucleotide reductase and from guanine via salvage pathways. The nucleotide is rapidly metabolized by nucleotide phosphatases and is cleared from the circulation with a half-life of minutes. Exogenously administered dGTP is rapidly dephosphorylated in plasma and does not achieve significant cellular uptake due to its negatively charged triphosphate moiety.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
dGTP is an endogenous cellular metabolite and is not considered toxic at physiological concentrations. Imbalances in dGTP pools can lead to mutagenesis and genomic instability, contributing to cancer development. High concentrations of dGTP can inhibit ribonucleotide reductase through feedback regulation. In laboratory settings, dGTP is handled as a standard laboratory chemical with minimal toxicity. The compound is not classified as hazardous, but standard precautions should be taken when handling nucleotide solutions.
