Transcription unlocked: A synthetic chemical biology approach involving unlocked nucleic acids was used to dissect the contribution of sugar backbone integrity to the RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription process. An unexpected dominant role for sugar-ring integrity in Pol II transcriptional efficiency and fidelity was revealed. ...[more]

Project description:Natural nucleic acids duplexes formed by Watson-Crick base pairing fold into right-handed helices that are classified in two families of secondary structures, i.e. the A- and B-form. For a long time, these A and B allomorphic nucleic acids have been considered as the 'non plus ultra' of double-stranded nucleic acids geometries with the only exception of Z-DNA, a left-handed helix that can be adopted by some DNA sequences. The five-membered furanose ring in the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA and RNA is the underlying cause of this restriction in conformational diversity. A collection of new Watson-Crick duplexes have joined the 'original' nucleic acid double helixes at the moment the furanose sugar was replaced by different types of six-membered ring systems. The increase in this structural and conformational diversity originates from the rigid chair conformation of a saturated six-membered ring that determines the orientation of the ring substituents with respect to each other. The original A- and B-form oligonucleotide duplexes have expanded into a whole family of new structures with the potential for selective cross-communication in a parallel or antiparallel orientation, opening up a new world for information storage and for molecular recognition-directed self-organization.

Project description:Optimization of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is important in RNA interference (RNAi)-based therapeutic development. Some specific chemical modifications can control which siRNA strand is selected by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) for gene silencing. Intended strand selection will increase potency and reduce off-target effects from the unintended strand. Sometimes, blocking RISC loading of the unintended strand leads to improved intended strand-silencing potency, but the generality of this phenomenon is unclear. Specifically, unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) modification of the 5' end of canonical (i.e., 19+2) siRNAs abrogates gene silencing of the modified strand, but the fate and potency of the unmodified strand has not been investigated. Here, we show that 5' UNA-modified siRNAs show improved silencing potency of the unmodified strand. We harness this advantageous property in a therapeutic context, where a limited target region in a conserved HIV 5' long terminal repeat U5 region would otherwise yield siRNAs with undesired strand selection properties and poor silencing. Applying 5' UNA modification to the unintended sense (S) strand of these otherwise poorly targeted siRNAs dramatically improves on-target silencing by the intended antisense (AS) strand in pNL4-3.luciferase studies. This study highlights the utility of 5' UNA siRNA modification in therapeutic contexts where siRNA sequence selection is constrained.Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids (2013) 2, e103; doi:10.1038/mtna.2013.36; published online 2 July 2013.

Project description:Thermodynamics provides insights into the influence of modified nucleotide residues on stability of nucleic acids and is crucial for designing duplexes with given properties. In this article, we introduce detailed thermodynamic analysis of RNA duplexes modified with unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) nucleotide residues. We investigate UNA single substitutions as well as model mismatch and dangling end effects. UNA residues placed in a central position makes RNA duplex structure less favourable by 4.0-6.6 kcal/mol. Slight destabilization, by ?0.5-1.5 kcal/mol, is observed for 5'- or 3'-terminal UNA residues. Furthermore, thermodynamic effects caused by UNA residues are extremely additive with ?G°(37) conformity up to 98%. Direct mismatches involving UNA residues decrease the thermodynamic stability less than unmodified mismatches in RNA duplexes. Additionally, the presence of UNA residues adjacent to unpaired RNA residues reduces mismatch discrimination. Thermodynamic analysis of UNA 5'- and 3'-dangling ends revealed that stacking interactions of UNA residues are always less favourable than that of RNA residues. Finally, circular dichroism spectra imply no changes in overall A-form structure of UNA-RNA/RNA duplexes relative to the unmodified RNA duplexes.

Project description:The active form of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase V responsible for damage-induced mutagenesis is a multiprotein complex (UmuD'(2)C-RecA-ATP), called pol V Mut. Optimal activity of pol V Mut in vitro is observed on an SSB-coated single-stranded circular DNA template in the presence of the β/γ complex and a transactivated RecA nucleoprotein filament, RecA*. Remarkably, under these conditions, wild-type pol V Mut efficiently incorporates ribonucleotides into DNA. A Y11A substitution in the 'steric gate' of UmuC further reduces pol V sugar selectivity and converts pol V Mut into a primer-dependent RNA polymerase that is capable of synthesizing long RNAs with a processivity comparable to that of DNA synthesis. Despite such properties, Y11A only promotes low levels of spontaneous mutagenesis in vivo. While the Y11F substitution has a minimal effect on sugar selectivity, it results in an increase in spontaneous mutagenesis. In comparison, an F10L substitution increases sugar selectivity and the overall fidelity of pol V Mut. Molecular modeling analysis reveals that the branched side-chain of L10 impinges on the benzene ring of Y11 so as to constrict its movement and as a consequence, firmly closes the steric gate, which in wild-type enzyme fails to guard against ribonucleoside triphosphates incorporation with sufficient stringency.

Project description:A 15-mer DNA aptamer (named TBA) adopts a G-quadruplex structure that strongly inhibits fibrin-clot formation by binding to thrombin. We have performed thermodynamic analysis, binding affinity and biological activity studies of TBA variants modified by unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) monomers. UNA-U placed in position U3, U7 or U12 increases the thermodynamic stability of TBA by 0.15-0.50?kcal/mol. In contrast, modification of any position within the two G-quartet structural elements is unfavorable for quadruplex formation. The intramolecular folding of the quadruplexes is confirmed by T(m) versus ln c analysis. Moreover, circular dichroism and thermal difference spectra of the modified TBAs displaying high thermodynamic stability show bands that are characteristic for antiparallel quadruplex formation. Surface plasmon resonance studies of the binding of the UNA-modified TBAs to thrombin show that a UNA monomer is allowed in many positions of the aptamer without significantly changing the thrombin-binding properties. The biological effect of a selection of the modified aptamers was tested by a thrombin time assay and showed that most of the UNA-modified TBAs possess anticoagulant properties, and that the construct with a UNA-U monomer in position 7 is a highly potent inhibitor of fibrin-clot formation.

Project description:ObjectivesEndoscopic pancreatic function tests are used to diagnose pancreatic diseases and are a viable source for the discovery of biomarkers to better characterize pancreatic disorders. However, pancreatic fluid (PF) contains active enzymes that degrade biomolecules. Therefore, we tested how preservation methods and time to storage influence the integrity and quality of proteins and nucleic acids.MethodsWe obtained PF from 9 subjects who underwent an endoscopic pancreatic function test. Samples were snap frozen at the time of collection; after 1, 2, and 4 hours on ice; or after storage overnight at 4°C with or without RNase or protease inhibitors (PIs). Electrophoresis and mass spectrometry analysis determined protein abundance and quality, whereas nucleic acid integrity values determined DNA and RNA degradation.ResultsProtein degradation increased after 4 hours on ice and DNA degradation after 2 hours on ice. Adding PIs delayed degradation. RNA was significantly degraded under all conditions compared with the snap frozen samples. Isolated RNA from PF-derived exosomes exhibited similar poor quality as RNA isolated from matched PF samples.ConclusionsAdding PIs immediately after collecting PF and processing the fluid within 4 hours of collection maintains the protein and nucleic acid integrity for use in downstream molecular analyses.

Project description:Our group previously developed a series of bridged nucleic acids (BNAs), including locked nucleic acids (LNAs), amido-bridged nucleic acids (AmNAs), and guanidine-bridged nucleic acids (GuNAs), to impart specific characteristics to oligonucleotides such as high-affinity binding and enhanced enzymatic resistance. In this study, we designed a series of LNA-, AmNA-, and GuNA-modified splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) with different lengths and content modifications. We measured the melting temperature (Tm) of each designed SSO to investigate its binding affinity for RNA strands. We also investigated whether the single-stranded SSOs formed secondary structures using UV melting analysis without complementary RNA. As a result, the AmNA-modified SSOs showed almost the same Tm values as the LNA-modified SSOs, with decreased secondary structure formation in the former. In contrast, the GuNA-modified SSOs showed slightly lower Tm values than the LNA-modified SSOs, with no inhibition of secondary structures. We also evaluated the exon skipping activities of the BNAs in vitro at both the mRNA and protein expression levels. We found that both AmNA-modified SSOs and GuNA-modified SSOs showed higher exon skipping activities than LNA-modified SSOs but each class must be appropriately designed in terms of length and modification content.

Project description:Ribozymes are highly structured RNA sequences that can be tailored to recognize and cleave specific stretches of mRNA. Their current therapeutic efficacy remains low due to their large size and structural instability compared to shorter therapeutically relevant RNA such as small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA). Herein, a synthetic strategy that makes use of the spherical nucleic acid (SNA) architecture to stabilize ribozymes and transfect them into live cells is reported. The properties of this novel ribozyme-SNA are characterized in the context of the targeted knockdown of O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a DNA repair protein involved in chemotherapeutic resistance of solid tumors, foremost glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Data showing the direct cleavage of full-length MGMT mRNA, knockdown of MGMT protein, and increased sensitization of GBM cells to therapy-mediated apoptosis, independent of transfection agents, provide compelling evidence for the promising properties of this new chemical architecture.

Project description:Herein, we report a class of molecular spherical nucleic acid (SNA) nanostructures. These nano-sized single molecules are synthesized from T8 polyoctahedral silsesquioxane and buckminsterfullerene C60 scaffolds, modified with 8 and 12 pendant DNA strands, respectively. These conjugates have different DNA surface densities and thus exhibit different levels of nuclease resistance, cellular uptake, and gene regulation capabilities; the properties displayed by the C60 SNA conjugate are closer to those of conventional and prototypical gold nanoparticle SNAs. Importantly, the C60 SNA can serve as a single entity (no transfection agent required) antisense agent to efficiently regulate gene expression. The realization of molecularly pure forms of SNAs will open the door for studying the interactions of such structures with ligands and living cells with a much greater degree of control than the conventional polydisperse forms of SNAs.
