biological effects | 5-fluororotic acid is a fluorine-substituted derivative of orotic acid, a precursor of pyrimidine biosynthesis. 5-fluoro-orotic acid can be converted into toxic 5-fluorouracil by decarboxylase encoded by URA3 gene, so it is commonly used in gene screening of yeast. |
Product Application | 5-fluoro-orotic Acid (5-FOA) reverse selection for yeast is a commonly used molecular genetic screening method. Yeast plasmid clearance, plasmid shuttling, allelic substitution and two-hybrid screening all used 5-FOA. 5-FOA itself is non-toxic to yeast cells, but the functional URA3 gene encodes orotic nucleoside -5 '-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMP decarboxylase), it is converted into a toxic form (e. G., 5-fluorouracil) so that yeast cells cannot grow. After screening, the yeast of the phenotype Ura was changed to the yeast of Ura-and 5-FOA(R). Product Application 1) detection of URA3 gene expression in yeast; 2) construction of yeast two-hybrid library; 3) other yeast genetics fields include gene replacement, mobile genetic factor analysis and gene mutation identification. Filter object sacacomyces cerevisiae, schosacomyces pombe, and other fungi species containing URA3 orthologs. |
biological activity | 5-fluorotic is a selective agent in the molecular genetics of yeast. 5-fluorotic has an anti-cancer effect close to that of 5-fluorocytosine and a moderate anti-Dermatophyte effect. |
