Active Uptake and Trafficking of Nucleoside Triphosphates <i>In Vivo</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Modified nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) are powerful probes and medicines, but their anionic character impedes membrane permeability. As such, invasive delivery techniques, transport carriers, or prodrug strategies are required for their in vivo use. Here, we present a fluorescent 2′-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate “TAMRA-dATP” that exhibits surprisingly high bioavailability in vivo. TAMRA-dATP spontaneously forms nanoparticles in Mg+2-containing buffers that are taken into the vesicles of living cells and animals by energy-dependent processes. In cell cultures, photochemical activation with yellow laser light (561 nm) facilitated endosomal escape of TAMRA-dATP, resulting in its metabolic incorporation into DNA in vitro. In contrast, in vivo studies revealed that TAMRA-dATP is extensively trafficked by active pathways into cellular DNA of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and Caenorhabditis elegans where DNA labeling was observed in live animals, even without photochemical release. Metabolic labeling of DNA in whole, living animals can therefore be achieved by simply soaking animals in a buffer containing TAMRA-dATP or a structurally related compound, Cy3-dATP.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
