ABSTRACT
O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (hAGT) activity provides resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic agents and its inhibition enhances chemotherapy. We herein present the development of a novel fluorescence assay for the detection of hAGT activity. We designed a dsDNA sequence containing a fluorophore-quencher pair, where the fluorophore was attached to an O(6)-benzylguanine. This precursor was synthesized using the Mitsunobu reaction to introduce the benzyl group. The alkyl-fluorophore group is transferred to the active site during the dealkylation, producing an increase in fluorescence which is correlated to hAGT activity. This assay can be used for the evaluation of potential inhibitors of hAGT in a straightforward manner.
