Application

Aminoallyl-dUTP may be used for indirect stable labeling of first-strand cDNA synthesis via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Aminoallyl-dUTP functions as a reactive site for subsequent labeling by reactive fluorescent probes. Aminoallyl-dUTP may also be useful in the construction of reactive DNA scaffolds.
Aminoallyl-dUTP sodium salt has been used:
  • to add to the deoxynucleoside triphosphate mix for complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis
  • for the generation of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) probes
  • in the reverse transcription of RNA for the synthesis of fluorescent labelled probes

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aminoallyl-dUTP sodium salt/5-(3-aminoallyl)-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate (aa-dUTP) have been used mainly in two-step labeling approach for the synthesis of nucleic acid hybridisation probe.

Light is a pervasive environmental factor that regulates development, stress resistance, and even virulence in numerous fungal species. Though much research has focused on signaling pathways in Aspergillus fumigatus, an understanding of how this pathogen responds to light is lacking.

Fluorescent nucleic acid hybridization probes traditionally have been generated by enzymatic incorporation of dye-labeled nucleotides, even though incorporation efficiency is low and variable from dye to dye. Alternatively, 5-(3-aminoallyl)-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (aa-dUTP) is enzymatically incorporated to generate amine-modified DNA, which is
