Chemical labeling achieves 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine mapping in the microRNA transcriptome

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Apr 25;59(34):5106-5109. doi: 10.1039/d2cc06273a.

Abstract

A labeling chemistry-based methodology, APSC-8-oxoGua-seq, is developed to sequence 8-oxoGua in the microRNA transcriptome. N-(3-Azidopropyl)-spermine-5-carboxamide (APSC) is designed for the selective labeling of 8-oxoGua, where its azide facilitates the conjugation of a cleavable linker via the click reaction, achieving 8-oxoGua pull-down and sequencing. Using APSC-8-oxoGua-seq, 8-oxoGua can be identified at single-base resolution.
