Non-Nucleosidic Analogues of Polyaminonucleosides and Their Influence on Thermodynamic Properties of Derived Oligonucleotides.

ABSTRACT: The rationale for the synthesis of cationic modified nucleosides is higher expected nuclease resistance and potentially better cellular uptake due to an overall reduced negative charge based on internal charge compensation. Due to the ideal distance between cationic groups, polyamines are perfect counterions for oligodeoxyribonucleotides. We have synthesized non-nucleosidic analogues built from units that carry different diol structures instead of sugar residues and functionalized with polyamines. The non-nucleosidic analogues were attached as internal or 5'-terminal modifications in oligodeoxyribonucleotide strands. The thermodynamic studies of these polyaminooligonucleotide analogues revealed stabilizing or destabilizing effects that depend on the linker or polyamine used.

Influence of 5-N-carboxamide modifications on the thermodynamic stability of oligonucleotides.

Project description:We have recently shown that the incorporation of modified nucleotides such as 5-N-carboxamide-deoxyuridines into random nucleic acid libraries improves success rates in SELEX experiments and facilitates the identification of ligands with slow off-rates. Here we report the impact of these modifications on the thermodynamic stability of both duplexes and intramolecular 'single-stranded' structures. Within duplexes, large, hydrophobic naphthyl groups were destabilizing relative to the all natural DNA duplex, while the hydrophilic groups exhibited somewhat improved duplex stability. All of the significant changes in stability were driven by opposing contributions from the enthalpic and entropic terms. In contrast, both benzyl and naphthyl modifications stabilized intramolecular single-stranded structures relative to their natural DNA analogs, consistent with the notion that intramolecular folding allows formation of novel, stabilizing hydrophobic interactions. Imino proton NMR data provided evidence that elements of the folded structure form at temperatures well below the Tm, with a melting transition that is distinctly less cooperative when compared to duplex DNA. Although there are no data to suggest that the unmodified DNA sequences fold into structures similar to their modified analogs, this still represents clear evidence that these modifications impart thermodynamic stability to the folded structure not achievable with unmodified DNA.

Prediction of antisense oligonucleotides using structural and thermodynamic motifs.

Project description:Specific gene expression regulation strategy using antisense oligonucleotides occupy significant space in recent clinical trials. The therapeutical potential of oligos lies in the identification and prediction of accurate oligonucleotides against specific target mRNA. In this work we present a computational method that is built on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which could recognize and predict oligonucleotides effectively. In this study first we identified 11 major parameters associated with oligo:mRNA duplex linkage. A feed forward multilayer perceptron ANN classifier is trained with a set of experimentally proven feature vectors. The classifier gives an exact prediction of the input sequences under 2 classes - oligo or non-oligo. On validation, our tool showed comparatively significant accuracy of 92.48% with 91.7% sensitivity and 92.09% specificity. This study was also able to reveal the relative impact of individual parameters we considered on antisense oligonucleotide predictions.

Synthesis and analysis of oligonucleotides containing abasic site analogues.

Project description:DNA damage results in the formation of abasic sites from the formal hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond (AP) and several oxidized abasic lesions. Previous studies on AP sites revealed that DNA polymerases preferentially incorporated dA opposite them in approximately 80% of the replication events in Escherichia coli. These results were consistent with the hypothesis that the AP sites are noninstructive lesions due to the absence of a Watson-Crick base whose bypass adheres to the "A-rule." Recent replication studies of the oxidized abasic lesion, 2-deoxyribonolactone (L), revealed that DNA polymerase(s) does not apply the A-rule when bypassing it and incorporates large amounts of dG opposite L. These studies suggested that abasic sites such as L do direct polymerases to selectively incorporate nucleotides opposite them. However, it was not possible to determine the structural basis for this molecular recognition from these experiments. A group of oligonucleotides containing analogues of the AP and L lesions were synthesized and characterized as probes to gain insight into the structural basis for the distinct effect of 2-deoxyribonolactone on replication. These molecules will be useful tools for studying replication in cells and in vitro.

Sequence-specific thermodynamic properties of nucleic acids influence both transcriptional pausing and backtracking in yeast.

Project description:RNA Polymerase II pauses and backtracks during transcription, with many consequences for gene expression and cellular physiology. Here, we show that the energy required to melt double-stranded nucleic acids in the transcription bubble predicts pausing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae far more accurately than nucleosome roadblocks do. In addition, the same energy difference also determines when the RNA polymerase backtracks instead of continuing to move forward. This data-driven model corroborates-in a genome wide and quantitative manner-previous evidence that sequence-dependent thermodynamic features of nucleic acids influence both transcriptional pausing and backtracking.

G4 Matters-The Influence of G-Quadruplex Structural Elements on the Antiproliferative Properties of G-Rich Oligonucleotides.

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical structures formed by guanine-rich sequences of DNA or RNA that have attracted increased attention as anticancer agents. This systematic study aimed to investigate the anticancer potential of five G4-forming, sequence-related DNA molecules in terms of their thermodynamic and structural properties, biostability and cellular uptake. The antiproliferative studies revealed that less thermodynamically stable G4s with three G-tetrads in the core and longer loops are more predisposed to effectively inhibit cancer cell growth. By contrast, highly structured G4s with an extended core containing four G-tetrads and longer loops are characterized by more efficient cellular uptake and improved biostability. Various analyses have indicated that the G4 structural elements are intrinsic to the biological activity of these molecules. Importantly, the structural requirements are different for efficient cancer cell line inhibition and favorable G4 cellular uptake. Thus, the ultimate antiproliferative potential of G4s is a net result of the specific balance among the structural features that are favorable for efficient uptake and those that increase the inhibitory activity of the studied molecules. Understanding the G4 structural features and their role in the biological activity of G-rich molecules might facilitate the development of novel, more potent G4-based therapeutics with unprecedented anticancer properties.

Efficient Biocatalytic Synthesis of Dihalogenated Purine Nucleoside Analogues Applying Thermodynamic Calculations.

Project description:The enzymatic synthesis of nucleoside analogues has been shown to be a sustainable and efficient alternative to chemical synthesis routes. In this study, dihalogenated nucleoside analogues were produced by thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases in transglycosylation reactions using uridine or thymidine as sugar donors. Prior to the enzymatic process, ideal maximum product yields were calculated after the determination of equilibrium constants through monitoring the equilibrium conversion in analytical-scale reactions. Equilibrium constants for dihalogenated nucleosides were comparable to known purine nucleosides, ranging between 0.071 and 0.081. To achieve 90% product yield in the enzymatic process, an approximately five-fold excess of sugar donor was needed. Nucleoside analogues were purified by semi-preparative HPLC, and yields of purified product were approximately 50% for all target compounds. To evaluate the impact of halogen atoms in positions 2 and 6 on the antiproliferative activity in leukemic cell lines, the cytotoxic potential of dihalogenated nucleoside analogues was studied in the leukemic cell line HL-60. Interestingly, the inhibition of HL-60 cells with dihalogenated nucleoside analogues was substantially lower than with monohalogenated cladribine, which is known to show high antiproliferative activity. Taken together, we demonstrate that thermodynamic calculations and small-scale experiments can be used to produce nucleoside analogues with high yields and purity on larger scales. The procedure can be used for the generation of new libraries of nucleoside analogues for screening experiments or to replace the chemical synthesis routes of marketed nucleoside drugs by enzymatic processes.

The influence of locked nucleic acid residues on the thermodynamic properties of 2'-O-methyl RNA/RNA heteroduplexes.

Project description:The influence of locked nucleic acid (LNA) residues on the thermodynamic properties of 2'-O-methyl RNA/RNA heteroduplexes is reported. Optical melting studies indicate that LNA incorporated into an otherwise 2'-O-methyl RNA oligonucleotide usually, but not always, enhances the stabilities of complementary duplexes formed with RNA. Several trends are apparent, including: (i) a 3' terminal U LNA and 5' terminal LNAs are less stabilizing than interior and other 3' terminal LNAs; (ii) most of the stability enhancement is achieved when LNA nucleotides are separated by at least one 2'-O-methyl nucleotide; and (iii) the effects of LNA substitutions are approximately additive when the LNA nucleotides are separated by at least one 2'-O-methyl nucleotide. An equation is proposed to approximate the stabilities of complementary duplexes formed with RNA when at least one 2'-O-methyl nucleotide separates LNA nucleotides. The sequence dependence of 2'-O-methyl RNA/RNA duplexes appears to be similar to that of RNA/RNA duplexes, and preliminary nearest-neighbor free energy increments at 37 degrees C are presented for 2'-O-methyl RNA/RNA duplexes. Internal mismatches with LNA nucleotides significantly destabilize duplexes with RNA.

Beyond small molecules: targeting G-quadruplex structures with oligonucleotides and their analogues.

Project description:G-Quadruplexes (G4s) are widely studied secondary DNA/RNA structures, naturally occurring when G-rich sequences are present. The strategic localization of G4s in genome areas of crucial importance, such as proto-oncogenes and telomeres, entails fundamental implications in terms of gene expression regulation and other important biological processes. Although thousands of small molecules capable to induce G4 stabilization have been reported over the past 20 years, approaches based on the hybridization of a synthetic probe, allowing sequence-specific G4-recognition and targeting are still rather limited. In this review, after introducing important general notions about G4s, we aim to list, explain and critically analyse in more detail the principal approaches available to target G4s by using oligonucleotides and synthetic analogues such as Locked Nucleic Acids (LNAs) and Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs), reporting on the most relevant examples described in literature to date.

Influence of InP/ZnS Quantum Dots on Thermodynamic Properties and Morphology of the DPPC/DPPG Monolayers at Different Temperatures

Project description:In this work, the effects of InP/ZnS quantum dots modified with amino or carboxyl group on the characteristic parameters in phase behavior, elastic modulus, relaxation time of the DPPC/DPPG mixed monolayers are studied by the Langmuir technology at the temperature of 37, 40 and 45 °C. Additionally, the information on the morphology and height of monolayers are obtained by the Langmuir–Bloggett technique and atomic force microscope technique. The results suggest that the modification of the groups can reduce the compressibility of monolayers at a higher temperature, and the most significant effect is the role of the amino group. At a high temperature of 45 °C, the penetration ability of InP/ZnS-NH2 quantum dots in the LC phase of the mixed monolayer is stronger. At 37 °C and 40 °C, there is no clear difference between the penetration ability of InP/ZnS-NH2 quantum dots and InP/ZnS-COOH quantum dots. The InP/ZnS-NH2 quantum dots can prolong the recombination of monolayers at 45 °C and accelerate it at 37 °C and 40 °C either in the LE phase or in the LC phase. However, the InP/ZnS-COOH quantum dots can accelerate it in the LE phase at all temperatures involved but only prolong it at 45 °C in the LC phase. This work provides support for understanding the effects of InP/ZnS nanoparticles on the structure and properties of cell membranes, which is useful for understanding the behavior about the ingestion of nanoparticles by cells and the cause of toxicity.
