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.

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.

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 ?-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.

Solid-phase peptide synthesis and solid-phase fragment coupling mediated by isonitriles.

Project description:The synthesis of polypeptides on solid phase via mediation by isonitriles is described. The acyl donor is a thioacid, which presumably reacts with the isonitrile to generate a thio-formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride intermediate. Applications of this chemistry to reiterative solid-phase peptide synthesis as well as solid-phase fragment coupling are described.

Solid-phase synthesis of prenylcysteine analogs.

Project description:Prenylcysteine derivatives are of interest for a variety of different biological reasons, including probing the CaaX protein processing pathway. A solid-phase synthesis protocol for the preparation of prenylcysteines using 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin as a solid support has been developed. A series of novel amide-modified farnesylcysteine analogs were synthesized in both high purity and yield under mild conditions. The farnesylcysteine analogs were evaluated using human isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase as a biological target, and several new inhibitors, one with significantly enhanced potency, were identified.
