Solid-phase synthesis and hybrization behavior of partially 2'/3'-O-acetylated RNA oligonucleotides.

ABSTRACT: Synthesis of partially 2'/3'-O-acetylated oligoribonucleotides has been accomplished by using a 2'/3'-O-acetyl orthogonal protecting group strategy in which non-nucleophilic strong-base (DBU) labile nucleobase protecting groups and a UV-light cleavable linker were used. Strong-base stability of the photolabile linker allowed on-column nucleobase and phosphate deprotection, followed by a mild cleavage of the acetylated oligonucleotides from the solid support with UV light. Two 17nt oligonucleotides, which were synthesized possessing one specific internal 2'- or 3'-acetyl group, were used as synthetic standards in a recent report from this laboratory detailing the prebiotically plausible ligation of RNA oligonucleotides. In order to further investigate the effect of 2'/3'-O-acetyl groups on the stability of RNA duplex structure, two complementary bis-acetylated RNA oligonucleotides were also expediently obtained with the newly developed protocols. UV melting curves of 2'-O-acetylated RNA duplexes showed a consistent ~3.1 °C decrease in Tm per 2'-O-acetyl group.

Synthesis of <i>N</i> <sup>4</sup>-acetylated 3-methylcytidine phosphoramidites for RNA solid-phase synthesis.

Project description:The growing interest in 3-methylcytidine (m3C) originates from the recent discoveries of m3C modified tRNAs in humans as well as its intensively debated occurrence in mRNA. Moreover, m3C formation can be catalyzed by RNA without the assistance of proteins as has been demonstrated for a naturally occurring riboswitch fold using the methylated form of its cognate ligand as cofactor. Additionally, new RNA sequencing methods have been developed to detect this modification in transcriptome-wide manner. For all these reasons, an increasing demand for synthetic m3C containing oligoribonucleotides is emerging. Their chemical synthesis relies on RNA solid-phase synthesis using phosphoramidite building blocks. Here, we describe a facile synthetic path towards N4-acetylated 2'-O-TBDMS- and 2'-O-TOM m3C phosphoramidites to provide an optimal toolbox for solid-phase synthesis of m3C containing RNA.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00706-022-02896-x.

Automated solid-phase synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides containing a nonbridging phosphorodithioate linkage via phosphorothioamidites.

Project description:This work describes a general method for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotides containing a site-specific nonbridging phosphorodithioate linkage via automated solid-phase synthesis using 5'-O-DMTr-2'-O-TBS-ribonucleoside 3'-N,N-dimethyl-S-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl) phosphorothioamidites (2a-2d). The 3'-phosphorothioamidites (2a-2d) can be conveniently prepared in good yields (86-99%) via a one-pot reaction from the corresponding 5'-O-DMTr-2'-O-TBS-ribonucleosides (1a-1d).

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Phosphorothioate/Phosphonothioate and Phosphoramidate/Phosphonamidate Oligonucleotides.

Project description:We have developed a robust solid-phase protocol which allowed the synthesis of chimeric oligonucleotides modified with phosphodiester and O-methylphosphonate linkages as well as their P-S and P-N variants. The novel O-methylphosphonate-derived modifications were obtained by oxidation, sulfurization, and amidation of the O-methyl-(H)-phosphinate internucleotide linkage introduced into the oligonucleotide chain by H-phosphonate chemistry using nucleoside-O-methyl-(H)-phosphinates as monomers. The H-phosphonate coupling followed by oxidation after each cycle enabled us to successfully combine H-phosphonate and phosphoramidite chemistries to synthesize diversely modified oligonucleotide strands.

Facile synthesis of a 3-deazaadenosine phosphoramidite for RNA solid-phase synthesis.

Project description:Access to 3-deazaadenosine (c3A) building blocks for RNA solid-phase synthesis represents a severe bottleneck in modern RNA research, in particular for atomic mutagenesis experiments to explore mechanistic aspects of ribozyme catalysis. Here, we report the 5-step synthesis of a c3A phosphoramidite from cost-affordable starting materials. The key reaction is a silyl-Hilbert-Johnson nucleosidation using unprotected 6-amino-3-deazapurine and benzoyl-protected 1-O-acetylribose. The novel path is superior to previously described syntheses in terms of efficacy and ease of laboratory handling.

Synthesis of partially O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid using regioselective silyl exchange technology.

Project description:Postglycosylation acetylation of sialic acid imparts unique roles to sialoglycoconjugates in mammalian immune response making structural and functional understanding of these analogues important. Five partially O-acetylated Neu5Ac analogues have been synthesized. Reaction of per-O-silylated Neu5Ac ester with AcOH and Ac2O in pyridine promotes regioselective silyl ether/acetate exchange in the following order: C4 (2°) > C9 (1°) > C8 (2°) > C2 (anomeric). Subsequent hydrogenolysis affords the corresponding sialic acid analogues as useful chemical biology tools.

Porous silicon-based nanostructured microparticles as degradable supports for solid-phase synthesis and release of oligonucleotides.

Project description:We describe the preparation of several types of porous silicon (pSi) microparticles as supports for the solid-phase synthesis of oligonucleotides. The first of these supports facilitates oligonucleotide release from the nanostructured support during the oligonucleotide deprotection step, while the second type of support is able to withstand the cleavage and deprotection of the oligonucleotides post synthesis and subsequently dissolve at physiological conditions (pH?=?7.4, 37°C), slowly releasing the oligonucleotides. Our approach involves the fabrication of pSi microparticles and their functionalisation via hydrosilylation reactions to generate a dimethoxytrityl-protected alcohol on the pSi surface as an initiation point for the synthesis of short oligonucleotides.

Divergent behavior of glycosylated threonine and serine derivatives in solid phase peptide synthesis.

Project description:Solid phase peptide coupling of glycosylated threonine derivatives was systematically evaluated. In contrast to glycosylated serine derivatives which are highly prone to epimerization, glycosylated threonine derivatives produce only negligible amounts of epimerization. Under forcing conditions, glycosylated threonine analogs undergo ?-elimination, rather than epimerization. Mechanistic studies and molecular modeling were used to understand the origin of the differences in reactivity.

THF peroxide as a factor in generating desulphurised products from the solid-phase synthesis of phosphorothioate-modified oligonucleotides.

Project description:Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are generally obtained via chemical synthesis on a solid support and phosphorothioate (PS) modification with a phosphate backbone to increase their in vivo stability and activity. However, desulphurised products, in which PS is partially replaced by phosphodiesters, are generally formed during the chemical synthesis of ASO and are difficult to separate from the desired PS-modified ASO by chromatography. Therefore, revealing the unknown factors that cause the formation of desulphurised products and proposing methods to inhibit their formation are highly desirable. In this study, it was found that peroxides in THF, which is used as a solvent for the acetyl capping agent, oxidise phosphite triesters to produce desulphurisation products. The use of THF with antioxidants effectively suppresses the oxidation caused by THF peroxides. Moreover, THF peroxide was found to oxidise phosphoramidites, which are the building blocks of oligonucleotide chemical syntheses, indicating that caution should be taken with the organic solvents used during the synthesis and purification of phosphoramidites.

Solid phase synthesis and RNA-binding activity of an arginine-containing nucleopeptide.

Project description:Here we report the solid phase synthesis and characterization (LC-ESIMS, CD) of a cationic nucleobase-containing α-peptide, composed of both l-arginine residues and l-lysine-based nucleoamino acids sequentially present in the structure. The binding properties of this novel basic nucleopeptide towards nucleic acids were investigated by CD spectroscopy which revealed the ability of the thymine-containing oligomer to bind both adenine-containing DNA (dA12) and RNA (poly rA) molecules inducing high conformational variations in the nucleic acid structures. Moreover, the artificial oligonucleotide inhibited the enzymatic activity of HIV reverse transcriptase, opening the door to the exploitation of novel antiviral strategies inspired to this molecular tool.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Megamolecules.

Project description:This paper presents a solid-phase strategy to efficiently assemble multiprotein scaffolds-known as megamolecules-without the need for protecting groups and with precisely defined nanoscale architectures. The megamolecules are assembled through sequential reactions of linkers that present irreversible inhibitors for enzymes and fusion proteins containing the enzyme domains. Here, a fusion protein containing an N-terminal cutinase and a C-terminal SnapTag domain react with an ethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphonate (pNPP) or a chloro-pyrimidine (CP) group, respectively, to give covalent products. By starting with resin beads that are functionalized with benzylguanine, a series of reactions lead to linear, branched, and dendritic structures that are released from the solid support by addition of TEV protease and that have sizes up to approximately 25 nm.
