General description

5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate (5-BrUTP) is used to measure transcription via labeling of ribonucleic acids (RNA). RNA or cells labeled via 5-BrUTP incorporation may be detected immunologically with antibodies.

Application

5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate (5-BrUTP) is used to measure transcription via labeling of ribonucleic acids (RNA). RNA or cells labeled via 5-BrUTP incorporation may be detected immunologically with antibodies.
5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate sodium salt has been used:
  • to infer the chromosome intermingling between embryonic stem (ES) cells (differentiated and undifferentiated) and terminally differentiated NIH3T3 cells
  • to label nascent RNA in in vivo transcription analysis using fibroblasts
  • and transfected MDA-MB-231 cells
  • to label RNA for nuclear run-on experiments

Chromosome territories (CTs) in higher eukaryotes occupy tissue-specific non-random three-dimensional positions in the interphase nucleus. To understand the mechanisms underlying CT organization, we mapped CT position and transcriptional changes in undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells, during early onset of mouse

The architectural chromatin protein HMGA1 and the transcription factor Fra-1 are both overexpressed in aggressive triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), where they both favor epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, invasion, and metastasis. We therefore explored the possibility that Fra-1 might be involved in enhanced

Positive-strand and double-strand RNA viruses typically compartmentalize their replication machinery in infected cells. This is thought to shield viral RNA from detection by innate immune sensors and favor RNA synthesis. The picture for the non-segmented negative-strand (NNS) RNA viruses, however
