Synthesis of a 2'-Se-thymidine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into oligonucleotides for crystal structure study.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text] To investigate nucleic acids with selenium derivatization for crystallography, we report the first synthesis of 2'-methylseleno-thymidine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into DNAs and RNAs by solid-phase synthesis with over 99% coupling yield. The d(GT(Se)GTACAC)2 crystal structure was also determined at 1.40 A resolution using Se phasing, revealing that this Se derivatization did not cause significant structure perturbation, consistent with our UV melting study. In addition, we observed that the Se modification largely facilitated the crystallization.

Synthesis of a 2'-Se-uridine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into oligonucleotides for structural study.

Project description:[chemical reaction: see text]. We report here the synthesis of the 5'-[benzhydryloxybis(trimethylsilyloxy)]silyl-2'-methylseleno-2'-deoxyuridine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into oligonucleotides by solid-phase synthesis. The coupling yield of this phosphoramidite into oligonucleotides is higher than 99%. We also demonstrate that this 2'-methylselenophosphoramidite is compatible with the 5'-silyl-2'-ACE chemistry, for longer Se-RNA solid-phase synthesis. Our preliminary NMR study on the synthesized 2'-Se-DNA has revealed a U(Se)-A base pair and a duplex structure formation when its complementary strand was present.

Synthesis of the 5'-Se-thymidine phosphoramidite and convenient labeling of DNA oligonucleotide.

Project description:The synthesis of the 5'-Se-derivatized thymidine and phosphoramidite is reported, and the Se-phosphoramidite was incorporated into DNA. Because of its high nucleophilicity, this 5'-Se-moiety permits convenient postsynthetic modification of oligonucleotides. The proof of principle was successfully demonstrated by incorporating fluorescein into DNA. It was also found that the 5'-dye-labeled Se-DNA can be recognized by DNA polymerase as an efficient primer. This novel strategy opens a new avenue for nucleic acid probe preparation and detection.

Synthesis of 5-Dihydroxyboryluridine Phosphoramidite and Its Site-Specific Incorporation into Oligonucleotides for Probing Thymine DNA Glycosylase.

Project description:A concise synthetic strategy to 5-dihydroxyboryldexoyuridine (5boU) phosphoramidite has been developed. 5boU was introduced into short oligonucleotides in a site-specific manner, demonstrating compatibility of the boronic acid moiety with standard solid-phase DNA synthesis chemistry. Electrophilic 5boU DNAs inhibited thymine DNA glycosylase, a cancer-relevant DNA-modifying enzyme. We envisage diverse applications of 5boU in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology.

NAA-modified DNA oligonucleotides with zwitterionic backbones: stereoselective synthesis of A-T phosphoramidite building blocks.

Project description:Modifications of the nucleic acid backbone are essential for the development of oligonucleotide-derived bioactive agents. The NAA-modification represents a novel artificial internucleotide linkage which enables the site-specific introduction of positive charges into the otherwise polyanionic backbone of DNA oligonucleotides. Following initial studies with the introduction of the NAA-linkage at T-T sites, it is now envisioned to prepare NAA-modified oligonucleotides bearing the modification at X-T motifs (X = A, C, G). We have therefore developed the efficient and stereoselective synthesis of NAA-linked 'dimeric' A-T phosphoramidite building blocks for automated DNA synthesis. Both the (S)- and the (R)-configured NAA-motifs were constructed with high diastereoselectivities to furnish two different phosphoramidite reagents, which were employed for the solid phase-supported automated synthesis of two NAA-modified DNA oligonucleotides. This represents a significant step to further establish the NAA-linkage as a useful addition to the existing 'toolbox' of backbone modifications for the design of bioactive oligonucleotide analogues.

Design and synthesis of boronic-acid-labeled thymidine triphosphate for incorporation into DNA.

Project description:The boronic acid moiety is a versatile functional group useful in carbohydrate recognition, glycoprotein pull-down, inhibition of hydrolytic enzymes and boron neutron capture therapy. The incorporation of the boronic-acid group into DNA could lead to molecules of various biological functions. We have successfully synthesized a boronic acid-labeled thymidine triphosphate (B-TTP) linked through a 14-atom tether and effectively incorporated it into DNA by enzymatic polymerization. The synthesis was achieved using the Huisgen cycloaddition as the key reaction. We have demonstrated that DNA polymerase can effectively recognize the boronic acid-labeled DNA as the template for DNA polymerization, that allows PCR amplification of boronic acid-labeled DNA. DNA polymerase recognitions of the B-TTP as a substrate and the boronic acid-labeled DNA as a template are critical issues for the development of DNA-based lectin mimics via in vitro selection.

Tandem mass spectrometric sequence characterization of synthetic thymidine-rich oligonucleotides.

Project description:Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can provide direct and accurate sequence characterization of synthetic oligonucleotide drugs, including modified oligonucleotides. Multiple factors can affect oligonucleotide MS/MS sequencing, including the intrinsic properties of oligonucleotides (i.e., nucleotide composition and structural modifications) and instrument parameters associated with the ion activation for fragmentation. In this study, MS/MS sequencing of a thymidine (T)-rich and phosphorothioate (PS)-modified DNA oligonucleotide was investigated using two fragmentation techniques: trap-type collision-induced dissociation ("CID") and beam-type CID also termed as higher-energy collisional dissociation ("HCD"), preceded by a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) separation. A low to moderate charge state (-4), which predominated under the optimized HILIC-MS conditions, was selected as the precursor ion for MS/MS analysis. Comparison of the two distinctive ion activation mechanisms on the same precursor demonstrated that HCD was superior to CID in promoting higher sequence coverage and analytical sensitivity in sequence elucidation of T-rich DNA oligonucleotides. Specifically, HCD provided more sequence-defining fragments with higher fragment intensities than CID. Furthermore, the direct comparison between unmodified and PS-modified DNA oligonucleotides demonstrated a loss of MS/MS fragmentation efficiency by PS modification in both CID and HCD approaches, and a resultant reduction in sequence coverage. The deficiency in PS DNA sequence coverage observed with single collision energy HCD, however, was partially recovered by applying HCD with multiple collision energies. Collectively, this work demonstrated that HCD is advantageous to MS/MS sequencing of T-rich PS-modified DNA oligonucleotides.

Synthesis of 2'-N-methylamino-2'-deoxyguanosine and 2'-N,N-dimethylamino-2'-deoxyguanosine and their incorporation into RNA by phosphoramidite chemistry.

Project description:The 2'-hydroxyl groups within RNA contribute in essential ways to RNA structure and function. Previously, we designed an atomic mutation cycle (AMC) that uses ribonucleoside analogues bearing different C-2'-substituents, including -OCH(3), -NH(2), -NHMe, and -NMe(2), to identify hydroxyl groups within RNA that donate functionally significant hydrogen bonds. To enable AMC analysis of the nucleophilic guanosine cofactor in the Tetrahymena ribozyme reaction and at other guanosines whose 2'-hydroxyl groups impart critical functional contributions, we describe here the syntheses of 2'-methylamino-2'-deoxyguanosine (G(NHMe)) and 2'-N,N-dimethylamino-2'-deoxyguanosine (G(NMe(2))) and their corresponding phosphoramidites. The key step in obtaining the nucleosides involved S(N)2 displacement of 2'-?-triflate from an appropriate guanosine derivative by methylamine or dimethylamine. We readily obtained the G(NMe(2)) phosphoramidite and incorporated it into RNA. However, the G(NHMe) phosphoramidite posed a significantly greater challenge due to lack of a suitable -2'-NHMe protecting group. After testing several strategies, we established that allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc) provided suitable protection for 2'-N-methylamino group during the phosphoramidite synthesis and the subsequent RNA synthesis. This work enables AMC analysis of guanosine's 2'-hydroxyl group within RNA.

Crystal structure across the ? to ? phase transition in thermoelectric Cu2-x Se.

Project description:The crystal structure uniquely imparts the specific properties of a material, and thus provides the starting point for any quantitative understanding of thermoelectric properties. Cu2-x Se is an intensely studied high performing, non-toxic and cheap thermoelectric material, and here for the first time, the average structure of ?-Cu2-x Se is reported based on analysis of multi-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It consists of Se-Cu layers with additional copper between every alternate layer. The structural changes during the peculiar zT enhancing phase transition mainly consist of changes in the inter-layer distance coupled with subtle Cu migration. Just prior to the transition the structure exhibits strong negative thermal expansion due to the reordering of Cu atoms, when approached from low temperatures. The phase transition is fully reversible and group-subgroup symmetry relations are derived that relate the low-temperature ?-phase to the high-temperature ?-phase. Weak superstructure reflections are observed and a possible Cu ordering is proposed. The structural rearrangement may have a significant impact on the band structure and the Cu rearrangement may also be linked to an entropy increase. Both factors potentially contribute to the extraordinary zT enhancement across the phase transition.

Synthesis of stable azide and alkyne functionalized phosphoramidite nucleosides.

Project description:The use of CuAAC chemistry to crosslink and stabilize oligonucleotides has been limited by the incompatibility of azides with the phosphoramidites used in automated oligonucleotide synthesis. Herein we report optimized reaction conditions to synthesize azide derivatives of thymidine and cytidine phosphoramidites. Investigation of the stability of the novel phosphoramidites using 31P NMR at room temperature showed less than 10% degradation after 6 hours. The azide modified thymidine was successfully utilized as an internal modifier in the standard phosphoramidite synthesis of a DNA sequence. The synthesized azide and alkyne derivatives of pyrimidines will allow efficient incorporation of azide and alkyne click pairs into nucleic acids, thus widening the applicability of click chemistry in investigating the chemistry of nucleic acids.
