Extension of the 5-alkynyluridine side chain via C-C-bond formation in modified organometallic nucleosides using the Nicholas reaction.

ABSTRACT: Dicobalt hexacarbonyl nucleoside complexes of propargyl ether or esters of 5-substituted uridines react with diverse C-nucleophiles. Synthetic outcomes confirmed that the Nicholas reaction can be carried out in a nucleoside presence, leading to a divergent synthesis of novel metallo-nucleosides enriched with alkene, arene, arylketo, and heterocyclic functions, in the deoxy and ribo series.

Investigation of a side-chain-side-chain hydrogen bond by mutagenesis, thermodynamics, and NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Anomalous NMR behavior of the hydroxyl proton resonance for Ser 31 has been reported for histidine-containing protein (HPr) from two microorganisms: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The unusual slow exchange and chemical shift exhibited by the resonance led to the proposal that the hydroxyl group is involved in a strong hydrogen bond. To test this hypothesis and to characterize the importance of such an interaction, a mutant in which Ser 31 is replaced by an alanine was generated in HPr from Escherichia coli. The activity, stability, and structure of the mutant HPr were assessed using a reconstituted assay system, analysis of solvent denaturation curves, and NMR, respectively. Substitution of Ser 31 yields a fully functional protein that is only slightly less stable (delta delta G(folding) = 0.46 +/- 0.15 kcal mol-1) than the wild type. The NMR results confirm the identity of the hydrogen bond acceptor as Asp 69 and reveal that it exists as the gauche- conformer in wild-type HPr in solution but exhibits conformational averaging in the mutant protein. The side chain of Asp 69 interacts with two main-chain amide proteins in addition to its interaction with the side chain of Ser 31 in the wild-type protein. These results indicate that removal of the serine has led to the loss of all three hydrogen bond interactions involving Asp 69, suggesting a cooperative network of interactions. A complete analysis of the thermodynamics was performed in which differences in side-chain hydrophobicity and conformational entropy between the two proteins are accounted for.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A combined DFT and NMR investigation of the zinc organometallic intermediate proposed in the syn-selective tandem chain extension-aldol reaction of ?-keto esters.

Project description:The tandem chain extension-aldol (TCA) reaction of ?-keto esters provides an ?-substituted ?-keto ester with an average syn:anti selectivity of 10:1. It is proposed that the reaction proceeds via a carbon-zinc bound organometallic intermediate potentially bearing mechanistic similarity to the Reformatsky reaction. Evidence, derived from control Reformatsky reactions and a study of the structure of the TCA intermediate utilizing DFT methods and NMR spectroscopy, suggests the ?-keto group of the TCA intermediate plays a significant role in diastereoselectivity observed in this reaction. Such coordination effects have design implications for future zinc mediated reactions.

Hypoxia-selective DNA interstrand cross-link formation by two modified nucleosides.

Project description:The clean crossed code: Two nitroimidazole-modified thymidines 1 a and 1 b were synthesized and incorporated into DNA oligomers. The 350 nm photolysis of 1 a and 1 b generated a 5-(2'-deoxyuridinyl)methyl radical that induced DNA interstrand cross-links (ICL; see scheme). A higher ICL yield was observed under hypoxic conditions than under aerobic conditions.

Tandem chain extension-Mannich reaction: an approach to ?-proline derivatives.

Project description:A zinc carbenoid-initiated chain extension reaction provides access to an organometallic intermediate, which can be used to capture activated imines. Deprotection of the nitrogen and reduction provides access to racemic derivatives of ?-proline. The relative stereochemistry of the ?-proline can be controlled through use of different activating groups on the imine nitrogen.

Intramolecular Nicholas Reaction Enables the Stereoselective Synthesis of Strained Cyclooctynes.

Project description:Cyclic products can be obtained through the intramolecular version of the Nicholas reaction, which requires having the nucleophile connected to the alkyne unit. Here, we report the synthesis of 1-oxa-3-cyclooctynes starting from commercially available (1R,3S)-camphoric acid. The strategy is based on the initial preparation of propargylic alcohols, complexation of the triple bond with Co2(CO)8, and treatment with BF3·Et2O to induce an intramolecular Nicholas reaction with the free hydroxyl group as nucleophile. Finally, oxidative deprotection of the alkyne afforded the cyclooctynes in good yields. Notably, large-sized R substituents at the chiral center connected to the O atom were oriented in such a way that steric interactions were minimized in the cyclization, allowing the formation of cyclooctynes exclusively with (R) configuration, in good agreement with theoretical predictions. Moreover, preliminary studies demonstrated that these cyclooctynes were reactive in the presence of azides yielding substituted triazoles.

Syntheses of papyracillic acids: application of the tandem chain extension-acylation reaction.

Project description:A synthetic approach to the papyracillic acid family of natural products has been developed. The spiroacetal core is rapidly assembled through an unprecedented zinc carbenoid-mediated tandem chain extension-acylation reaction. Subsequent functional group manipulation provided access to papyracillic acid B and 4-epi-papyracillic acid C. The successful preparation of these molecules resulted in the clarification of structural assignments of members of this family of natural products.

Modified in situ Hybridization Chain Reaction Using Short Hairpin DNAs.

Project description:The visualization of multiple gene expressions in well-preserved tissues is crucial for the elucidation of physiological and pathological processes. In situ hybridization chain reaction (HCR) is a method to visualize specific mRNAs in diverse organisms by applying a HCR that is an isothermal enzyme-free nucleotide polymerization method using hairpin DNAs. Although in situ HCR is a versatile method, this method is not widely used by researchers because of their higher cost than conventional in situ hybridization (ISH). Here, we redesigned hairpin DNAs so that their lengths were half the length of commonly used hairpin DNAs. We also optimized the conjugated fluorophores and linkers. Modified in situ HCR showed sufficient fluorescent signals to detect various mRNAs such as Penk, Oxtr, Vglut2, Drd1, Drd2, and Moxd1 in mouse neural tissues with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The sensitivity of modified in situ HCR in detecting the Oxtr mRNA was better than that of fluorescent ISH using tyramide signal amplification. Notably, the modified in situ HCR does not require proteinase K treatment so that it enables the preservation of morphological structures and antigenicity. The modified in situ HCR simultaneously detected the distributions of c-Fos immunoreactivity and Vglut2 mRNA, and detected multiple mRNAs with a high signal-noise ratio at subcellular resolution in mouse brains. These results suggest that the modified in situ HCR using short hairpin DNAs is cost-effective and useful for the visualization of multiple mRNAs and proteins.

Identification and quantification of modified nucleosides in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNAs

Project description:Post-transcriptional modifications to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) have the potential to alter the biological function of this important class of biomolecules. The study of mRNA modifications is a rapidly emerging field, and the full complement of chemical modifications in mRNAs is not yet established. We sought to identify and quantify the modifications present in yeast mRNAs using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method to detect 40 nucleoside variations in parallel. We observe six modified nucleosides with high confidence in highly purified mRNA samples (N7-methylguanosine, N6-methyladenosine, 2’-O-methylguanosine, 2’-O-methylcytidine, N4-acetylcytidine and 5-formylcytidine), and identify the yeast protein responsible for N4-acetylcytidine incorporation in mRNAs, Rra1. Additionally, we find that mRNA modification levels change in response to heat shock, glucose starvation and/or oxidative stress. This work expands the repertoire of potential chemical modifications in mRNAs, and highlights the value of integrating mass spectrometry tools in the mRNA modification discovery and characterization pipeline.
