5'-Triphosphates of 1-(2',3'-epithio-2',3'-dideoxy-beta-D- lyxofuranosyl)thymine, 1-(2',3'-epithio-2',3'-dideoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thymine and 2',3'-lyxoanhydrothymidine have been shown to be termination substrates for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) reverse transcriptases as well as DNA polymerase I from E. coli and DNA polymerase beta from rat liver. At the same time they do not terminate DNA synthesis catalysed by DNA polymerase epsilon from human placenta. Km values of ltTTP, rtTTP and laTTP incorporation into the DNA chain during catalysis by AMV reverse transcriptase agree closely with each other being 1.5-2.5 times higher than Km value for dTTP. Furthermore, Vmax values for modified substrates are only 2-3 times lower than Vmax for dTTP. The evidence favours the hypothesis of high affinity of modified nucleotides with a flattened furanosyl ring for DNA polymerase active sites.

O-4'-nor-2', 3'-dideoxy-2', 3'-didehydronucleoside 5'-triphosphates are shown to be effective termination substrates of DNA biosynthesis catalyzed by human placental DNA polymerases alpha and epsilon, rat liver DNA polymerase beta, reverse transcriptases of human immunodeficiency virus and avian myeloblastosis virus, and calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. These compounds do not interact only with the Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment). The probable reasons of interaction of acyclo-d4NTP with the DNA synthesizing complexes are discussed.

Some natural and glycon-modified dNTPs with beta,gamma-pyrophosphate substitution at the triphosphate residue were synthesized and studied to evaluate the effect of these modifications on substrate properties of dNTPs in DNA synthesis catalyzed by human placental DNA polymerases alpha and beta, avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase, and calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. Reverse transcriptase proved to be the enzyme least specific to such modifications; the substrate activity of beta,gamma-methylenediphosphonate substituted dTTP and 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-dTTP decreased in the following order: CF2 = CHF > CBr2 > CFMe >> CH2. This order is individual for each DNA polymerase. It is interesting to mention that beta,gamma-CBr2 substituted dTTP is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor of DNA polymerase beta. This specificity distinguishes DNA polymerase beta from other DNA polymerases studied.
