A new caged thymidine, 3-N-(2-(2-nitrophenyl)propyloxymethyl)thymidine (T-NPPOM) was synthesized and used as a site-selective terminator of DNA-polymerase reaction in light-assisted cohesive-ending PCR (LACE-PCR), which directly gives sticky-ended PCR products after brief UVA irradiation. Primer-extension experiments using a template involving T-NPPOM have shown that this caged inucleotide efficiently and site-selectively blocks reactions of a variety of polymerases commonly used in PCR Misincorporation of nucleobases, observed with the use of other previously reported caged thymidines, scarcely occurred. It has turned out that a slight structural difference of caging groups can significantly improve the termination yield of polymerase reactions. A LACE-PCR product coding GFP gene was prepared by using primers containing T-NPPOM and was ligated with a vector fragment prepared using restriction enzymes. The resulting recombinant vector successfully transformed E. coli.
