Survey of ribose ring pucker of signaling nucleosides and nucleotides.

ABSTRACT: The ribose of protein-bound nucleosides and nucleotides displays preferred conformations (usually either North or South), which can be exploited to design enhanced analogs having chemically fixed conformations. We introduce a computational protocol for assembling data from the protein database (PDB) on the ribose and ribose-like conformation of small molecule ligands when complexed with purinergic signaling proteins (including receptors, enzymes and transporters, and related intracellular pathways). Some targets prefer exclusively North (adenosine and P2Y₁ receptors, CD73, adenosine kinase ATP/ADP-binding site, adenosine deaminase), others prefer South (P2Y₁₂ receptor, E-NTPDase2) or East (adenosine kinase substrates), while others (P2XRs) allow various conformations.

Simultaneous Quantification of Nucleosides and Nucleotides from Biological Samples.

Project description:We report a reverse phase chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for simultaneous quantification of nucleosides and nucleotides from biological samples, where compound identification was achieved by a tier-wise approach and compound quantification was achieved via external calibration. A total of 65 authentic standards of nucleosides and nucleotides were used for the platform development. The limit of detection (LOD) of those compounds ranged from 0.05 nmol/L to 1.25 ?mol/L, and their limit of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 0.10 nmol/L to 2.50 ?mol/L. Using the developed method, nucleosides and nucleotides from human plasma, human urine, and rat liver were quantified. Seventy-nine nucleosides and nucleotides were identified from human urine and 28 of them were quantified with concentrations of 13.0 nmol/L-151 ?mol/L. Fifty-five nucleosides and nucleotides were identified from human plasma and 22 of them were quantified with concentrations of 1.21 nmol/L-8.54 ?mol/L. Fifty-one nucleosides and nucleotides were identified from rat liver and 23 were quantified with concentrations of 1.03 nmol/L-31.7 ?mol/L. These results demonstrate that the developed method can be used to investigate the concentration change of nucleosides and nucleotides in biological samples for the purposes of biomarker discovery or elucidation of disease mechanisms.

Tellurium-Modified Nucleosides, Nucleotides, and Nucleic Acids with Potential Applications.

Project description:Tellurium was successfully incorporated into proteins and applied to protein structure determination through X-ray crystallography. However, studies on tellurium modification of DNA and RNA are limited. This review highlights the recent development of Te-modified nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids, and summarizes the main synthetic approaches for the preparation of 5-PhTe, 2'-MeTe, and 2'-PhTe modifications. Those modifications are compatible with solid-phase synthesis and stable during Te-oligonucleotide purification. Moreover, the ideal electronic and atomic properties of tellurium for generating clear isomorphous signals give Te-modified DNA and RNA great potential applications in 3D crystal structure determination through X-ray diffraction. STM study also shows that Te-modified DNA has strong topographic and current peaks, which immediately suggests potential applications in nucleic acid direct imaging, nanomaterials, molecular electronics, and diagnostics. Theoretical studies indicate the potential application of Te-modified nucleosides in cancer therapy.

Hydroxyproline Ring Pucker Causes Frustration of Helix Parameters in the Collagen Triple Helix.

Project description:Collagens, the most abundant proteins in mammals, are defined by their triple-helical structures and distinctive Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeating sequence, where Xaa is often proline and Yaa, hydroxyproline (Hyp/O). It is known that hydroxyproline in the Yaa position stabilises the triple helix, and that lack of proline hydroxylation in vivo leads to dysfunctional collagen extracellular matrix assembly, due to a range of factors such as a change in hydration properties. In addition, we note that in model peptides, when Yaa is unmodified proline, the Xaa proline has a strong propensity to adopt an endo ring conformation, whilst when Yaa is hydroxyproline, the Xaa proline adopts a range of endo and exo conformations. Here we use a combination of solid-state NMR spectroscopy and potential energy landscape modelling of synthetic triple-helical collagen peptides to understand this effect. We show that hydroxylation of the Yaa proline causes the Xaa proline ring conformation to become metastable, which in turn confers flexibility on the triple helix.

The Distinct Conformational Landscapes of 4S-Substituted Prolines That Promote an endo Ring Pucker.

Project description:4-Substitution on proline directly impacts protein main chain conformational preferences. The structural effects of N-acyl substitution and of 4-substitution were examined by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography on minimal molecules with a proline 4S-nitrobenzoate. The effects of N-acyl substitution on conformation were attenuated in the 4S-nitrobenzoate context, due to the minimal role of the n??* interaction in stabilizing extended conformations. By X-ray crystallography, an extended conformation was observed for most molecules. The formyl derivative adopted a ? conformation that is observed at the i+2 position of ?-turns. Computational analysis indicated that the structures observed crystallographically represent the inherent conformational preferences of 4S-substituted prolines with electron-withdrawing 4-position substituents. The divergent conformational preferences of 4R- and 4S-substituted prolines suggest their wider structure-specific application in molecular design. In particular, the proline endo ring pucker favored by 4S-substituted prolines uniquely promotes the ? conformation [(?, ?) ?(-80°, 0°)] found in ?-turns. In contrast to other acyl capping groups, the pivaloyl group strongly promoted trans amide bond and polyproline II helix conformation, with a close n??* interaction in the crystalline state, despite the endo ring pucker, suggesting its special capabilities in promoting compact conformations in ? due to its strongly electron-donating character.

Improved Treatment of Nucleosides and Nucleotides in the OPLS-AA Force Field.

Project description:DFT calculations have been used to develop improved descriptions of the torsional energetics for nucleosides and nucleotides in the OPLS-AA force field. Scans of nucleotide dihedral angles (γ, χ, and β) and methyl phosphates provided the bases for the new torsional parameters. In addition, the angle-bending parameters of phosphodiesters and ribose were updated, and adjustments were made to existing carbohydrate torsions to better capture the sugar puckering landscape of ribose. MD simulations of nucleosides with the new parameters demonstrate a significant improvement in the ribose sugar puckering and χ angle distributions. Additionally, energy-minimization of protein-nucleotide crystal structures with the new parameters produced accurate poses.

Ribose Alters the Photochemical Properties of the Nucleobase in Thionated Nucleosides.

Project description:Substitution of exocyclic oxygen with sulfur was shown to substantially influence the properties of RNA/DNA bases, which are crucial for prebiotic chemistry and photodynamic therapies. Upon UV irradiation, thionucleobases were shown to efficiently populate triplet excited states and can be involved in characteristic photochemistry or generation of singlet oxygen. Here, we show that the photochemistry of a thionucleobase can be considerably modified in a nucleoside, that is, by the presence of ribose. Our transient absorption spectroscopy experiments demonstrate that thiocytosine exhibits 5 times longer excited-state lifetime and different excited-state absorption features than thiocytidine. On the basis of accurate quantum chemical simulations, we assign these differences to the dominant population of a shorter-lived triplet nπ* state in the nucleoside and longer-lived triplet ππ* states in the nucleobase. This explains the distinctive photoanomerziation of thiocytidine and indicates that the nucleoside will be a less efficient phototherapeutic agent with regard to singlet oxygen generation.

Metabolism, Biochemical Actions, and Chemical Synthesis of Anticancer Nucleosides, Nucleotides, and Base Analogs.

Project description:Nucleoside, nucleotide, and base analogs have been in the clinic for decades to treat both viral pathogens and neoplasms. More than 20% of patients on anticancer chemotherapy have been treated with one or more of these analogs. This review focuses on the chemical synthesis and biology of anticancer nucleoside, nucleotide, and base analogs that are FDA-approved and in clinical development since 2000. We highlight the cellular biology and clinical biology of analogs, drug resistance mechanisms, and compound specificity towards different cancer types. Furthermore, we explore analog syntheses as well as improved and scale-up syntheses. We conclude with a discussion on what might lie ahead for medicinal chemists, biologists, and physicians as they try to improve analog efficacy through prodrug strategies and drug combinations.

Oxidation of pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides by osmium tetroxide.

Project description:1. Pyrimidine nucleosides such as thymidine, uridine or cytidine are oxidized readily at 0 degrees by osmium tetroxide in ammonium chloride buffer. There is virtually no oxidation in bicarbonate buffer of similar pH. Oxidation of 1-methyluracil yields 5,6-dihydro-4,5,6-trihydroxy-1-methyl-2-pyrimidone. 2. Osmium tetroxide and ammonia react reversibly in aqueous solution to form a yellow 1:1 complex, probably OsO(3)NH. A second molecule of ammonia must be involved in the oxidation of UMP since the rate of this reaction is approximately proportional to the square of the concentration of unprotonated ammonia. 3. 4-Thiouridine reacts with osmium tetroxide much more rapidly than does uridine. The changes of absorption spectra are different in sodium bicarbonate buffer and in ammonium chloride buffer. They occur faster in the latter buffer and, under suitable conditions, cytidine is a major product. 4. Polyuridylic acid is oxidized readily by ammoniacal osmium tetroxide, but its oxidation is inhibited by polyadenylic acid. Pyrimidines of yeast amino acid-transfer RNA are oxidized more slowly than the corresponding mononucleosides, especially the thymine residues. Appreciable oxidation can occur without change of sedimentation coefficient.

Changes in DNA bending induced by restricting nucleotide ring pucker studied by weak alignment NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Changes in bending of the DNA helix axis caused by the introduction of conformationally locked nucleotide analogs into the center region of the palindromic Dickerson dodecamer, d(CGCGAATTCGCG)(2), have been studied by NMR measurement of residual one-bond (13)C-(1)H dipolar couplings. Thymidine analogs, in which the deoxyribose was substituted by bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, were incorporated in the T7, T8, and T7T8 positions. These nucleotide analogs restrict the ring pucker to the C2'-exo or "north" conformation, instead of C2'-endo or "south," which dominates in regular B-form DNA. For all three oligomers, bending toward the major groove is found relative to the native molecule. The effects are additive with bending of 5 +/- 1 degrees per locked nucleotide. Measurement of the change in bending is more accurate than measurement of the bending angle itself and requires far fewer experimental data.
