A simple and efficient method for attaching amines to the terminal 5'-phosphate of unprotected oligonucleotides or nucleic acids in aqueous solution is described. The method is applicable to low molecular-weight amines, polypeptides, or proteins. The terminal 5'-phosphate of an oligonucleotide or nucleic acid reacts with a water-soluble carbodiimide in imidazole buffer at pH 6 to give good yields of the 5'-phosphorimidazolide. Exposure of the phosphorimidazolide to amine-containing molecules in aqueous solution results in the production of a wide range of stable phosphoramidates in high yield. The exposure of polynucleotides to carbodiimide does not result in significant breakage of phosphodiester bonds or damage to nucleoside bases. The biological activity of a drug resistant plasmid is not affected. The direct condensation of polynucleotides with amines in 1-methylimidazole buffer is also possible. However, it is not a satisfactory preparative method if the ligand is sensitive to carbodiimide. 相似文献

A biologic assay system, based on complement (C′) inhibition, is described to unravel structural differences among polynucleotides. The C′ system appears particularly suitable to distinguish (1) homo- from copoly-ribonucleotides, (2) deoxyribo- from 2′-OH and other 2′-modified polynucleotides, and (3) single homopolynucleotides from double- or triple-stranded complexes.From these studies a number of polynucleotides emerged with potent anti-C′ activities, worthy of further investigation. The most active polymers were (G)n (polyguanylic acid), (dCc1)n [poly(2′-chloro-2′deoxycytidylic acid)] and (dUz)n [poly(2′-azido-2′-deoxyuridylic acid)]. 相似文献

Preparation of the three hexadecanucleotides, dGpTpApTpCpApCpGpApGpGpCpCpCpTpT, dCpGpApCpGpApGpCpGpTpGpApCpApCpC and cTpGpCpCpGpGpCpCpApCpGpApTpGpCpG, is described by a rapid and simple solid-phase method on polyacrylamide supports. The synthesis were performed by the extension of the method described in the previous paper using di and trinucleotides of defined sequences as an incoming 3'-phosphodiester unit. Although the coupling yields to form phosphotriester bonds are slightly lower than those for the homothymidylic acid series, pure polydeoxyribonucleotides of defined sequences can be synthesized without any major difficulty. 相似文献

Direct covalent mercuration of nucleotides and polynucleotides. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Nucleotides of cytosine and uracil are readily mercurated by heating at 37-50 degrees in buffered aqueous solutions (pH 5.0-8.0) containing mercuric acetate. Proton magnetic resonance, elemental, electrophoretic, and chromatographic analyses have shown the products to be 5-mercuricytosine and 5-mercuriuracil derivatives, where the mercury atom is covalently bonded. Polynucleotides can be mercurated under similar conditions. Cytosine and uracil bases are modified in RNA while only cytosine residues in DNA are substituted. There is little, if any, reaction with adenine, thymine, or guanine bases. The rate of polymer mercuration is, unlike that of mononucleotides, markedly influenced by the ionic strength of the reaction mixture: the lower the ionic strength the faster the reaction rate. Pyrimidine residues in single- and double-stranded polymers react at essentially the same rate. Although most polynucleotides can be extensively mercurated at pH 7.0 in sodium or Trisacetate buffers, tRNA undergoes only limited substitution in Tris buffers. The mild reaction conditions give minimal single-strand breakage and, unlike direct iodination procedures, do not produce pyrimidine hydrates. Mercurated polynucleotides can be exploited in a variety of ways, particularly by crystallographic and electron microscopic techniques, as tools for studying polynucleotide structure. 相似文献

Detailed models are presented for the triple-stranded polynucleotide helices of poly (U)-poly (A)-poly (U) (two forms), poly (U)-poly d (A) -poly (U), poly d(C)-poly d(I)-poly d(C), poly d(T)-polyd(A)-poly d(T) and poly (I)-poly (A)-poly (I). The models were genrated using a computerized, linked-atom procedure which preserves standard bond lengths, bond anglesand sugar ring conformations, constrains the helices to have the pitches and symmetries observed in X-ray diffraction experiments, and optimises the non-bonded interatomic contacts including hydrogen bonds. The possible biological sigificance of such complexes is discussed. 相似文献

We are interested in creating artificial gene repressors based on duplex DNA recognition by nucleic acids. Homopyrimidine RNA oligonucleotides bind to duplex DNA at homopurine/homopyrimidine sequences under slightly acidic conditions. Recognition is sequence-specific, involving rU.dA.dT and rC+.dG.dC base triplets. Affinities were determined for folded polymeric RNAs (ca. 100-200 nt) containing 0, 1 or 3 copies of a 21 nt RNA sequence that binds duplex DNA by triple helix formation. When this recognition sequence was inserted into the larger folded RNAs, micromolar concentrations of the resulting RNA ligands bound a duplex DNA target at pH 5. However, these binding affinities were at least 20-fold lower than the affinity of an RNA oligonucleotide containing only the recognition sequence. Enzymatic probing of folded RNAs suggests that reduced affinity arises from unfavorable electrostatic, structural and topological considerations. The affinity of a polymeric RNA with three copies of the recognition sequence was greater than that of a polymeric RNA with a single copy of the sequence. This affinity difference ranged from 2.6- to 13-fold, depending on pH. Binding of duplex DNA by polymeric RNA might be improved by optimizing the RNA structure to efficiently present the recognition sequence. 相似文献

Varied intensities of nitrotyrosine immunoreactivity were detected by Western blots after the reaction of proteins or enzymes with peroxynitrite (PN), a strong oxidant derived from nitric oxide. Intense immunoreactivity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, calmodulin and most histones may depend on greater access to tyrosine residues in the reaction, whereas the absence of immunoreactivity of caspase-3, ubiquitin and S-100 proteins may reflect lack of accessibility. In addition, the changes in UV/visible absorbency were observed after PN-treatment of polynucleotides, polypeptides or proteins. Brief PN-treatment of invertase increased its enzymatic activity. Furthermore, PN-treatment of rabbit IgG decreased its recognition by anti-IgG. The results suggest that PN may chemically modify polypeptides, proteins and polynucleotides and may subsequently alter their biological activity. 相似文献
