• Beschreibung: 5-Carboxyhydroxymethyluridine is a hydroxylated nucleoside that is used to study DNA repair. It is a nucleotide analogue that has been modified at the hydroxyl group by methylation. 5-Carboxyhydroxymethyluridine can be converted back to uridine by escherichia coli hydroxylases, but this conversion does not occur in vivo. 5-Carboxyhydroxymethyluridine can be used as a substrate for methyltransferase enzymes, which are involved in DNA repair. The enzyme 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase converts 5-carboxyhydroxymethyluridine into S-adenosylhomocysteine and adenine. This conversion can be reversed by the enzyme methionine synthase. Some homologues of 5-carboxyhydroxymethyluridine have been found in nature and other modifications have been made on the
