Enzymatic synthesis of 5-azacytidine 5′-triphosphate from 5-azacytidine

5-Azacytidine 5′-monophosphate (5-aza-CMP) was synthesized enzymatically from 5-azacytidine (5-aza-C) in a reaction catalyzed by uridine-cytidine kinase. In a second step, 5-azacytidine 5′-triphosphate (5-aza-CTP) was synthesized enzymatically from 5-aza-CMP using CMP kinase and nucleoside diphosphokinase. Due to the chemical instability of the triazide ring of 5-azacytosine at neutral and alkaline pH, the enzymatic synthesis and purification of the nucleotides by ion exchange chromatography were performed at acid pH. The enzymatically synthesized 5-aza-CTP had an ultraviolet absorbance spectrum at pH 5.5 similar to the spectrum of 5-aza-C. In the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase reaction, 5-aza-CTP inhibited the incorporation of [3H]CTP, but [3H]UTP, into RNA.
