Synthesis of a 2'-Se-uridine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into oligonucleotides for structural study.

ABSTRACT: [chemical reaction: see text]. We report here the synthesis of the 5'-[benzhydryloxybis(trimethylsilyloxy)]silyl-2'-methylseleno-2'-deoxyuridine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into oligonucleotides by solid-phase synthesis. The coupling yield of this phosphoramidite into oligonucleotides is higher than 99%. We also demonstrate that this 2'-methylselenophosphoramidite is compatible with the 5'-silyl-2'-ACE chemistry, for longer Se-RNA solid-phase synthesis. Our preliminary NMR study on the synthesized 2'-Se-DNA has revealed a U(Se)-A base pair and a duplex structure formation when its complementary strand was present.

Synthesis of a 2'-Se-thymidine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into oligonucleotides for crystal structure study.

Project description:[reaction: see text] To investigate nucleic acids with selenium derivatization for crystallography, we report the first synthesis of 2'-methylseleno-thymidine phosphoramidite and its incorporation into DNAs and RNAs by solid-phase synthesis with over 99% coupling yield. The d(GT(Se)GTACAC)2 crystal structure was also determined at 1.40 A resolution using Se phasing, revealing that this Se derivatization did not cause significant structure perturbation, consistent with our UV melting study. In addition, we observed that the Se modification largely facilitated the crystallization.

Synthesis of 6-Se-guanosine RNAs for structural study.

Project description:6-Se-guanosine phosphoramidite and RNAs have been synthesized by selenium substitution of the 6-oxygen atom, and it is revealed that the Se-derivatization is relatively stable and that bulge and wobble structures can better accommodate a large Se atom than a duplex. This Se-modification is useful in the structural study of RNAs and their protein complexes.

Synthesis of Substituted Cy5 Phosphoramidite Derivatives and Their Incorporation into Oligonucleotides Using Automated DNA Synthesis.

Project description:Cyanine dyes represent a family of organic fluorophores with widespread utility in biological-based applications ranging from real-time PCR probes to protein labeling. One burgeoning use currently being explored with indodicarbocyanine (Cy5) in particular is that of accessing exciton delocalization in designer DNA dye aggregate structures for potential development of light-harvesting devices and room-temperature quantum computers. Tuning the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of Cy5 dyes in such DNA structures should influence the strength of their excitonic coupling; however, the requisite commercial Cy5 derivatives available for direct incorporation into DNA are nonexistent. Here, we prepare a series of Cy5 derivatives that possess different 5,5'-substituents and detail their incorporation into a set of DNA sequences. In addition to varying dye hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, the 5,5'-substituents, including hexyloxy, triethyleneglycol monomethyl ether, tert-butyl, and chloro groups were chosen so as to vary the inherent electron-donating/withdrawing character while also tuning their resulting absorption and emission properties. Following the synthesis of parent dyes, one of their pendant alkyl chains was functionalized with a monomethoxytrityl protective group with the remaining hydroxyl-terminated N-propyl linker permitting rapid, same-day phosphoramidite conversion and direct internal DNA incorporation into nascent oligonucleotides with moderate to good yields using a 1 μmole scale automated DNA synthesis. Labeled sequences were cleaved from the controlled pore glass matrix, purified by HPLC, and their photophysical properties were characterized. The DNA-labeled Cy5 derivatives displayed spectroscopic properties that paralleled the parent dyes, with either no change or an increase in fluorescence quantum yield depending upon sequence.

Synthesis of 5-Dihydroxyboryluridine Phosphoramidite and Its Site-Specific Incorporation into Oligonucleotides for Probing Thymine DNA Glycosylase.

Project description:A concise synthetic strategy to 5-dihydroxyboryldexoyuridine (5boU) phosphoramidite has been developed. 5boU was introduced into short oligonucleotides in a site-specific manner, demonstrating compatibility of the boronic acid moiety with standard solid-phase DNA synthesis chemistry. Electrophilic 5boU DNAs inhibited thymine DNA glycosylase, a cancer-relevant DNA-modifying enzyme. We envisage diverse applications of 5boU in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology.

Selenocyanate derived Se-incorporation into the nitrogenase Fe protein cluster.

Project description:The nitrogenase Fe protein mediates ATP-dependent electron transfer to the nitrogenase MoFe protein during nitrogen fixation, in addition to catalyzing MoFe protein-independent substrate (CO2) reduction and facilitating MoFe protein metallocluster biosynthesis. The precise role(s) of the Fe protein Fe4S4 cluster in some of these processes remains ill-defined. Herein, we report crystallographic data demonstrating ATP-dependent chalcogenide exchange at the Fe4S4 cluster of the nitrogenase Fe protein when potassium selenocyanate is used as the selenium source, an unexpected result as the Fe protein cluster is not traditionally perceived as a site of substrate binding within nitrogenase. The observed chalcogenide exchange illustrates that this Fe4S4 cluster is capable of core substitution reactions under certain conditions, adding to the Fe protein's repertoire of unique properties.

Site-specific incorporation of N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-AAF) into oligonucleotides using modified 'ultra-mild' DNA synthesis.

Project description:Aromatic amino and nitro compounds are potent carcinogens found in the environment that exert their toxic effects by reacting with DNA following metabolic activation. One important adduct is N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-AAF), which has been extensively used in studies of the mechanisms of DNA repair and mutagenesis. Despite the importance of dG-AAF adducts in DNA, an efficient method for its incorporation into DNA using solid-phase synthesis is still missing. We report the development of a modified 'ultra-mild' DNA synthesis protocol that allows the incorporation of dG-AAF into oligonucleotides of any length accessible by solid-phase DNA synthesis with high efficiency and independent of sequence context. Key to this endeavor was the development of improved deprotection conditions (10% diisopropylamine in methanol supplemented with 0.25 M of beta-mercaptoethanol) designed to remove protecting groups of commercially available 'ultra-mild' phosphoramidite building blocks without compromising the integrity of the exquisitely base-labile acetyl group at N8 of dG-AAF. We demonstrate the suitability of these oligonucleotides in the nucleotide excision repair reaction. Our synthetic approach should facilitate comprehensive studies of the mechanisms of repair and mutagenesis induced by dG-AAF adducts in DNA and should be of general use for the incorporation of base-labile functionalities into DNA.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of uridine diphosphate-GlcNAc and uridine diphosphate-GalNAc analogs for the preparation of unnatural glycosaminoglycans.

Project description:Eight N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate and N-acetylgalactosamine-1-phosphate analogs have been synthesized chemically and were tested for their recognition by the GlmU uridyltransferase enzyme. Among these, only substrates that have an amide linkage to the C-2 nitrogen were transferred by GlmU to afford their corresponding uridine diphosphate(UDP)-sugar nucleotides. Resin-immobilized GlmU showed comparable activity to nonimmobilized GlmU and provides a more facile final step in the synthesis of an unnatural UDP-donor. The synthesized unnatural UDP-donors were tested for their activity as substrates for glycosyltransferases in the preparation of unnatural glycosaminoglycans in vitro. A subset of these analogs was useful as donors, increasing the synthetic repertoire for these medically important polysaccharides.

Enzymatic Redox Cascade for One-Pot Synthesis of Uridine 5'-Diphosphate Xylose from Uridine 5'-Diphosphate Glucose.

Project description:Synthetic ways towards uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-xylose are scarce and not well established, although this compound plays an important role in the glycobiology of various organisms and cell types. We show here how UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (hUGDH) and UDP-xylose synthase 1 (hUXS) from Homo sapiens can be used for the efficient production of pure UDP-?-xylose from UDP-glucose. In a mimic of the natural biosynthetic route, UDP-glucose is converted to UDP-glucuronic acid by hUGDH, followed by subsequent formation of UDP-xylose by hUXS. The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) required in the hUGDH reaction is continuously regenerated in a three-step chemo-enzymatic cascade. In the first step, reduced NAD+ (NADH) is recycled by xylose reductase from Candida tenuis via reduction of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ). Radical chemical re-oxidation of this mediator in the second step reduces molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is cleaved by bovine liver catalase in the last step. A comprehensive analysis of the coupled chemo-enzymatic reactions revealed pronounced inhibition of hUGDH by NADH and UDP-xylose as well as an adequate oxygen supply for PQ re-oxidation as major bottlenecks of effective performance of the overall multi-step reaction system. Net oxidation of UDP-glucose to UDP-xylose by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could thus be achieved when using an in situ oxygen supply through periodic external feed of H2O2 during the reaction. Engineering of the interrelated reaction parameters finally enabled production of 19.5 mM (10.5 g l-1) UDP-?-xylose. After two-step chromatographic purification the compound was obtained in high purity (>98%) and good overall yield (46%). The results provide a strong case for application of multi-step redox cascades in the synthesis of nucleotide sugar products.

A High-Yielding Synthesis of EIDD-2801 from Uridine.

Project description:A simple reordering of the reaction sequence allowed the improved synthesis of EIDD-2801, an antiviral drug with promising activity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, starting from uridine. Compared to the original route, the yield was enhanced from 17?% to 61?%, and fewer isolation/purification steps were needed. In addition, a continuous flow procedure for the final acetonide deprotection was developed, which proved to be favorable toward selectivity and reproducibility.

Automated synthesis of new ferrocenyl-modified oligonucleotides: study of their properties in solution.

Project description:We have developed new ferrocenyl-modified oligonucleotide (ODN) probes for electrochemical DNA sensors. A monofunctional ferrocene containing phosphoramidite group has been prepared, and a new bisfunctional ferrocene containing phosphoramidite and dimethoxytrityl (DMT) groups has been developed. These ferrocenyl-phosphoramidites have been directly employed in an automated solid-phase DNA synthesizer using phosphoramidite chemistry. The advantages of this method are that it allows a non-specialist in nucleotide chemistry to access labeled ODNs and that it has demonstrated good results. ODNs modified at the 3' and/or 5' extremities have been prepared, with the incorporation of the ferrocenyl group into the chain. The 5' position appears to be more important due to its particular behavior. The thermal stability and electrochemical properties of these new ODN ferrocenes were analyzed before and after hybridization with different ODNs. The feasibility of using these new ferrocenyl-labeled ODNs in DNA sensors has been demonstrated.
