3′-3′,3′-5′ and 5′-5′ TpT-Amides: Synthesis,Characterization and Alkaline Hydrolysis

Abstract

A simple procedure is described for the preparation of the title compounds 1, 8 and 9. 3′-3′ or 3′-5′ or 5′-5′ TpT was reacted with a twofold molar excess of TPS in anhydrous DMF, at room temperature, for 5 min, followed by a 1 min in situ treatment of the reaction mixture with excess 7.0 N NH₄OH, at 0°C. The alkaline hydrolysis of 1, 8 and 9 proceeds without the assistance of 3′- and 5′-hydroxyl groups resulting in equimolar mixtures of thymidine (4) and thymidine 3′-phosphoramidate (6) (for the 3′-3′ isomer) or thymidine 5′-phosphoramidate (7) (for the 5′-5′ isomer) or 6 and 7 in equal quantities (for the 3′-5′ isomer).     

紫色马铃薯类黄酮3，′5′-羟化酶基因（StF3′5′H）的克隆及分析

类黄酮3′,5′羟-化酶（ flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase, F3′5′H）是植物花青素生物合成途径中的一个关键酶,紫色土豆（ Solanum tueb or sum） F3′5′H基因的克隆将为花青素合成调控和花青素代谢工程研究提供优质基因资源。研究采用RACE技术克隆了紫色土豆F3′5′H基因的cDNA全长序列,用生物信息学方法对其核苷酸和蛋白质序列进行了分析,并用半定量PCR 技术分析了F3′5′H基因在不同组织中的表达情况,同时研究了赤霉素和蔗糖处理后F3′5′H基因表达与花青素积累之间的相关性。研究结果表明,克隆的紫色土豆F3′5′H的cDNA全长为1854 bp,包含一个1530 bp的完整ORF,共编码509个氨基酸。生物信息学分析表明,StF3′5′H基因推测编码的氨基酸序列与其它植物的F3′5′H蛋白的相似性很高。 StF3′5′H基因的表达具有组织特异性,在紫色土豆根、茎和叶柄中都有表达,其中在叶柄中表达最强,而在块茎、叶轴和叶片中几乎检测不到StF3′5′H基因的表达。赤霉素和蔗糖能促进紫色土豆StF3′5′H基因的表达,进而促进花青素的积累。

环化腺苷酸对细菌生长的影响

用大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli AS 1.797)、北京棒状杆菌(Corynebacterium pekinense AS1.299)和巨大芽孢杆菌(Bacills megatertum AS 1.217)研究了细胞内环化腺苷酸(cAMP)浓度和外源cAMP对细胞生长的影响。结果表明,大肠杆菌在不同碳源中生长时,细胞的生长量随细胞内cAMF’浓度升高而降低。在以葡萄糖作碳源时,细胞内cAMP浓度低,外源cAMP。对生长有抑制作用,而cAMP的类似物5'-AMP则无抑制作用。在以乳糖、麦芽糖和甘油分别作碳源时,细胞内cAMP浓度高,外源cAMP对生长无影响。北京捧状杆菌以葡萄糖作碳源时,细胞生长也受外源cAMP的抑制,但cAMP的抑制作用不是专一的,它的作用可用类似物5’-AMP来代替。自身不合cAMP的巨大芽孢杆菌在不同碳原(包括葡萄糖)中生长时,生长不受外源cAMP抑制,也不受5’-Amt’的影响。因此认为,cAMP不是细菌生长的必需物,而是生长调节物,但这种调节物对巨大芽孢杆菌无效。     

2′—5′寡聚腺苷酸衍生物的研究——Ⅰ.以2′-5′寡聚腺苷酸作为T_4-RNA连接酶的供体和受体合成其衍生物的方法

在干扰素的功能表达中,2′-5′寡聚腺苷酸是一类重要的媒介物。本文研究了T_4-RNA连接酶的专一性及其用于2′-5′寡聚腺苷酸衍生物合成的可能性。1980年,我们曾发现2′-5′寡聚腺苷酸可以作为RNA连接酶的受体。本文对此作了进一步的研究,证实了T_4-RNA连接酶可以将pNp(N=A,G,C,U)、pCpUpC、pCpm_2~2G等供体连到2′-5′P_3A_3受体上去,生成各种相应产物。2′-5′磷酸二酯键连接的寡核苷酸能否作为T_4-RNA连接酶的供体,有人估计不大可能。本文也证实了T_4-RNA连接酶能将供体pA~(2′)p~(5′)A连接到CpUpC、UpCpCpA、Cpm′IpψpG等受体上面去。从而说明T_4-RNA连接酶也可使用2′-5′磷酸二酯键连接的寡核苷酸作为供体。应用T_4-RNA连接酶,可以合成既含有2′-5′又含有3′-5′磷酸二酯键的寡核苷酸。本工作还证明A~(2′)p~(5′)A也可以作为T_4-多核苷酸激酶的底物。     

Comparative Studies of Duplex and Triplex Formation of 2′-5′ and 3′-5′ Linked Oligoribonucleotides

Abstract

We have studied double and triple helix formation between 2′–5′ or 3–5′ linked oligoriboadenylates and oligoribouridylates with chain length 7 or 10 by CD spectrometry. The complex formation depends on the type of linkage of oligoribonucleotides, chain length, concentration and molar ratio of the strands, temperature and the cationic concentration. Mixture of any linkage isomers of oligo(rA) and oligo(rU) in 1:1 molar ratio form duplex at 0.1 M NaCl. The duplex stability largely depends on the type of the linkages and is in the following order; [35′] oligo(rA)·[3′-5′] oligo(rU) > [2′-5′] oligo(rA)'[3′-5′] oligo(rU) > [3′-5′] oligo(rA)·[2′-5′] oligo(rU) > [2–5′] oligo(rA)*[2′-5′] oligo(rU). The higher cationic concentrations, 0.5 M MgCl₂, stabilize the complex and either duplex or triplex is formed depending on the input strand ratio and the type of linkage. Thermodynamic parameters, DH and DS, for the complex formation between linkage isomers of oligo(rA) and oligo(rU) showed a linear relationship indicating an enthalpy-entropy compensation phenomena. The duplex and triplex composed of [2′-5′] oligo(rA) and [2′-5′] oligo(rU) exhibit different CD spectra compared to those of any others containing 3–5′ linkage, suggesting that the fully 2–5′ duplex and triplex may possess a unique conformation. We describe prebiological significance of the linkage isomers of RNA and selection of the 3–5′ linkage against 2′-5 linkage.

人淋巴细胞中发现2′—5′—三腺苷酸受体

通过合成的^3H-PPPA2′P5′A2′P5′A（2′－5′P3A3）与人淋巴细胞进行结合反应,结果表明：人淋巴细胞质膜存在着2′－5′P3A3受体。又通过用ATP、UTP与^3H-2′-5′P3A3竞争抑制实验表明,^3H－2′－5′P3A3与淋巴细胞膜受体的结合为特异性结构,结合率受^3H－2′－5′P3A3浓度、pH等因素影响。     

信使核糖核酸3′端多聚腺苷酸链的作用

原核生物如细菌,其原始RNA转录物就是信使核糖核酸(mRNA),新RNA分子一生成就与核糖体结合,并开始合成蛋白质。真核生物的细胞,原始转录物并不被直接用作mRNA,而是mRNA的前身——核不均核糖核酸(hnRNA),它要经过一系列的转录后加工,其中包括5‘端的“戴帽”——增加一甲基化的低聚核苷酸结构,以及3’端的多腺苷酰化作用——接上一条长长的多聚腺苷酸尾链(以下简称多聚(A))才具有mRNA作用。近年还有证据表明,比mRNA大的原始转录物要经核酸内切酶裂解后,其某些片段再连接在一起才成为有功能的mRNA。本文重点讨论mRNA

小牛睾丸中G蛋白对FSH受体亲和性和腺苷酸环化酶活性的调节

本文用NEM(N-ethylmaleimide)为探针研究了G蛋白(鸟嘌呤核苷酸调节蛋白,Gp)对小牛睾丸中FSH受体的亲和性及腺苷酸环化酶活性的调节作用。证据表明,①在小牛睾丸细胞膜G蛋白上存在两种类型鸟嘌呤核苷酸结合位点(下简称GTP结合位点),高亲和性低容量结合位点及低亲和性高容量结合位点;②高亲和性结合位点(对NEM敏感)调节腺苷酸环化酶活性,而对NEM相对不敏感的低亲和性位点则不直接参与该酶活性的调节;③G蛋白对受体亲和性的调节则不仅要高亲和性位点的参与,而且主要受低亲和性位点的调节。     

Oligomerizations of deoxyadenosine bis-phosphates and of their 3′-5′, 3′-3′, and 5′-5′ dimers: Effects of a pyrophosphate-linked,poly(t) analog

A pyrophosphate-linked polynucleotide analog based on thymidine 3,5 bis-phosphate (pTp) catalyzes the oligomerization of activated dimers of pdAp in the presence of MgCl₂. Although no catalysis of the oligomerization of the activated monomer (ImpdAplm) was observed in the presence of MgCl₂, there was a significant stimulation of oligomerization by the template in the presence of MnCl₂.

Synthesis of the 2′-,3′-Didehydro-2′-,3′-dideoxy and 2′-,3′-Dideoxy Derivatives of 6-Azauridine and a New Route to 2′-,3′-Didehydro-2′-,3′-dideoxy-5-chlorouridine

Abstract

The 5′-O-(4,4′-dimethoxytrityl) and 5′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) derivatives of 2′-,3′-O-thiocarbonyl-6-azauridine and 2′,3′-O-thiocarbonyl-5-chlorouridine were synthesized from the parent nucleosides by reaction with 4, 4′-dimethoxytrityl chloride and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride, respectively, followed by treatment with 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. Introduction of a 2′-,3′-double bond into the sugar ring by reaction of the 5′-protected 2′-,3′-O-thionocarbonates with 1, 3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1, 3, 2-diazaphospholidiine was unsuccessful, but could be accomplished satisfactorily with trimethyl phosphite. Reactions were generally more successful with the 5′-silylated than with the 5′-tritylated nucleosides. Formation of 2′-,3′-O-thiocarbonyl derivatives proceeded in higher yield with 5′-protected 6-azauridines than with the corresponding 5-chlorouridines because of the propensity of the latter to form 2,2′-anhydro derivatives. In the reaction of 5′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2′-,3′-O-thiocarbonyl-6-azauridine with trimethyl phosphite, introduction of the double bond was accompanied by N³-methylation. However this side reaction was not a problem with 5′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2′-, 3′-O-thioarbonyl-5-chlorouridine. Treatment of 5′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2′-, 3′-didehydro-2′-,3′-dideoxy-6-azauridine with tetrabutylammonium fluoride followed by hydrogenation afforded 2′-,3′-dideoxy-6-azauridine. Deprotection of 5′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2′-, 3′-didehydro-2′-,3′-dideoxy-5-chlorouridine yielded 2′-,3′-didehydro-2′-,3′-dide-oxy-5-chlorouridine.     

Synthesis and Biological Activity of 3′-Modified 2′-5′ Adenylate Trimers

Abstract

One of the most important mediators in the mode of action of interferon is the (2′-5′)(A)n synthetase-RNase L pathway. The 2′-5′oligoadenylates (2–5A), synthesized from ATP, activate a pre-existing endonuclease that cleaves single-stranded RNA. The biological activity of 2–5A is rapidly lost due to cleavage of the 2′-5′ internucleotide bond by a specific 2′-5′-phosphodiesterase starting at the 3′end. This rapid cleavage and the poor uptake of 2–5A in intact cells limit the use of 2–5A as an antiviral or antineoplastic agent. Although several modified 2–5A analogues have been synthesized in order to improve the enzymatic stability, only few have proven to be resistant to degradation and still able to activate the 2–5A dependent endonuclease. 1-4 On the other hand, relative drastic methodology such as calcium coprecipitation, microinjection and liposome encapsulation5 has been used to introduce 2–5A into intact cells. Here, we present the synthesis and biological activity of oligoadenylates in which one or more adenosine residues were replaced by 9-(3-azido-3-deoxy-6-D-xylofuranosyl)adenine or 9-(3-amino-3-deoxy-D-xylofuranosyl)adenine. The oligonucleotides were synthesized by the phosphotriester method with triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl-chloride in the presence of N-methylimidazole as the condensing agent. The p-nitrophenylethyl group was used as the protecting group for the 2′-hydroxylfunction .(carbonate), the internucleotide linkage (phosphate ester) and the exocyclic amino groups of the heterocyclic base (carbamate). Bis(p-nitrophenylethy1)phosphoromonochloridate was used to phosphorylate the 5′-hy-droxyl group. All these blocking groups were removed with DBU in pyridine.
