Adenylyl(3'-5')adenosine cyclic 2',3'-phosphate (A-A greater than p) was synthesized and its polymerization was attempted under various conditions inthe presence of poly(uridylic acid) and1,3-propanediamine. Reaction at -20 degrees C for 16 days gave polymerized products (up to the 8-mer) in 15% yield and was proved to be dependent on the template. Reaction at 0 degrees C for 16 days gave more extensive (up to the 10-mer) and more efficient (35%) polymerization. The newly formed phosphodiester linkage was exclusively 2'-5'. These results are discussed in comparison with the monomer-condensation reaction. 相似文献

A summary delineating the large scale synthetic studies to prepare labeled precursors of ribonucleosides-3',4',5',5'-2H4 and -2',3',4',5',5'-2H5 from D-glucose is presented. The recycling of deuterium-labeled by-products has been devised to give a high overall yield of the intermediates and an expedient protocol has been elaborated for the conversion of 3-O-benzyl-alpha,beta-D-allofuranose-3,4-d2 6 to 1-O-methyl-3-O-benzyl-2-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-alpha,beta-D-ribofuranose-3,4,5,5'-d4 16 (precursor of ribonucleosides-3',4',5',5'-2H4) or to 1-O-methyl-3,5-di-O-benzyl-alpha,beta-D-ribofuranose-3,4,5,5'-d4 18 (precursor of ribonucleosides-3',4',5',5'-2H4). 相似文献

Conformational properties of trimeric and tetrameric 2′,5′-linked oligonucleotides, 3′-MOE-A32′,5′ (1) and 3′-MOE-A42′,5′ (2), and their 3′,5′-linked analogs, 2′-MOE-A33′,5′ (3) and 2′-MOE-A43′,5′ (4), were examined with the use of heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. The temperature-dependent 3JHH, 3JHP and 3JCP coupling constants, acquired in the range of 273–343 K, gave insight into the conformation of sugar rings in terms of a two-state North ↔ South (N ↔ S) pseudorotational equilibrium and into the conformation of the sugar–phosphate backbone in the model antisense oligonucleotides 1–4. 2′,5′-linked oligomers 3′-MOE-A32′,5′ (1) and 3′-MOE-A42′,5′ (2) show preference for N-type conformers and indication of A-type conformational features, which is prerequisite for antisense hybridization. The drive of N ↔ S equilibrium in 1–4 has been rationalized with the competing gauche effects of 2′/3′-phosphodiester and 3′/2′-MOE groups, anomeric and steric effects. Furthermore, the pairwise comparisons of 3′-MOE with 3′-OH and 3′-deoxy 2′,5′-linked adenine trimers emphasized the fine tuning of N ↔ S equilibrium in 3′-MOE-A32′,5′ (1) and 3′-MOE-A42′,5′ (2) by the steric effects of 3′-MOE group and the possibility of water-mediated H-bonds with vicinal phosphodiester functionality. In full correspondence, the drive of N ↔ S equilibrium towards N by 2′-MOE in 3′,5′-linked analogs 2′-MOE-A33′,5′ (3) and 2′-MOE-A43′,5′ (4) is weaker in comparison with 3′-OH group in the corresponding ribo analogs. βt, γ+ and ε– rotamers are preferred in both 2′,5′- and in 3′,5′-linked oligonucleotides 1–4. 相似文献

The demonstration by Kerr and colleagues that double-stranded (ds) RNA inhibits drastically protein synthesis in cell-free systems prepared from interferon-treated cells, suggested the existence of an interferon-induced enzyme, which is dependent on dsRNA. Consequently, two distinct dsRNA-dependent enzymes were discovered: a serine/threonine protein kinase that nowadays is referred to as PKR and a 2'-5'oligoadenylate synthetase (2'-5'OAS) that polymerizes ATP to 2'-5'-linked oligomers of adenosine with the general formula pppA(2'p5'A)(n), n>or=1. The product is pppG2'p5'G when GTP is used as a substrate. Three distinct forms of 2'-5'OAS exist in human cells, small, medium, and large, which contain one, two, and three OAS units, respectively, and are encoded by distinct genes clustered on the 2'-5'OAS locus on human chromosome 12. OASL is an OAS like IFN-induced protein encoded by a gene located about 8 Mb telomeric from the 2'-5'OAS locus. OASL is composed of one OAS unit fused at its C-terminus with two ubiquitin-like repeats. The human OASL is devoid of the typical 2'-5'OAS catalytic activity. In addition to these structural differences between the various OAS proteins, the three forms of 2'-5'OAS are characterized by different subcellular locations and enzymatic parameters. These findings illustrate the apparent structural and functional complexity of the human 2'-5'OAS family, and suggest that these proteins may have distinct roles in the cell. 相似文献

2'-5'-Linked oligoadenylic acid 5'-triphosphates (2-5A) having chain lengths of 2-4 have been synthesized by polymerization of 3'-O-(o-nitrobenzyl)-N-benzoyladenosine 5'-phosphate followed by 5'-triphosphorylation via the imidazolidates. A large scale preparation of 5'-O-phosphoryladenylyl-(2'-5')-adenylyl-(2'-5')-adenosine was performed by the phosphotriester method using 5'-O-monomethoxytrityl-3'-O-(o-nitrobenzyl)-N-benzoyladenosine 2'-O-p-chlorophenylphosphate and 5'-O-phosphorodianilido-3'-O-(o-nitrobenzyl)-N-benzoyladenosine 2'-O-p-chlorophenylphosphate as intermediates. The trimer was also triphosphorylated by the imidazolide method. CD spectra for 5'-mono and triphosphorylated 2'-5' adenylates were measured as well as their UV hypochromicities. This triester method was also applied to the synthesis of 3',5'-bisphosphorylated protected oligoadenylic acids with natural 3'-5' linkages which could be used for further condensations to yield 5'-phosphorylated polynucleotides. 相似文献

We describe studies concerning the ability of a nuclear dinucleoside triphosphatase to act as a decapping enzyme in RNA catabolism. The enzymatic release of GMP from the Gp3A moiety was determined in the capped RNA model compounds Gp3A3'pA, Gp3A3'pA-isoprop and Gp3A2'pA in isolated rat liver nuclei; i.e., in the environment in which the dinucleoside triphosphatase operates in vivo. The Gp3A cap moiety is hydrolyzed in (3'-5') linked nucleotides only, whereas an extension of the Gp3A in the 2'-direction prevents the nuclear triphosphatase to operate. 相似文献

Previous experiments have identified numerous RNA ligase deoxyribozymes, each of which can synthesize either 2',5'-branched RNA, linear 2'-5'-linked RNA, or linear 3'-5'-linked RNA. These products may be formed by reaction of a 2'-hydroxyl or 3'-hydroxyl of one RNA substrate with the 5'-triphosphate of a second RNA substrate. Here the inherent propensities for nucleophilic reactivity of specific hydroxyl groups were assessed using RNA substrates related to the natural sequences of spliceosome substrates and group II introns. With the spliceosome substrates, nearly half of the selected deoxyribozymes mediate a ligation reaction involving the natural branch-point adenosine as the nucleophile. In contrast, mostly linear RNA is obtained with the group II intron substrates. Because the two sets of substrates differ at only three nucleotides, we conclude that the location of the newly created ligation junction in DNA-catalyzed branch formation depends sensitively on the RNA substrate sequences. During the experiment that led primarily to branched RNA, we abruptly altered the selection strategy to demand that the deoxyribozymes create linear 3'-5' linkages by introducing an additional selection step involving the 3'-5'-selective 8-17 deoxyribozyme. Although no 3'-5' linkages (相似文献

X-ray crystallographic studies on 3'-5' oligomers have provided a great deal of information on the stereochemistry and conformational flexibility of nucleic acids and polynucleotides. In contrast, there is very little information available on 2'-5' polynucleotides. We have now obtained the crystal structure of Cytidylyl-2',5'-Adenosine (C2'p5'A) at atomic resolution to establish the conformational differences between these two classes of polymers. The dinucleoside phosphate crystallises in the monoclinic space group C2, with a = 33.912(4)A, b = 16.824(4)A, c = 12.898(2)A and beta = 112.35(1) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Spectacularly, the two independent C2'p5'A molecules in the asymmetric unit form right handed miniature parallel stranded double helices with their respective crystallographic two fold (b axis) symmetry mates. Remarkably, the two mini duplexes are almost indistinguishable. The cytosines and adenines form self-pairs with three and two hydrogen bonds respectively. The conformation of the C and A residues about the glycosyl bond is anti same as in the 3'-5' analog but contrasts the anti and syn geometry of C and A residues in A2'p5'C. The furanose ring conformation is C3' endo, C2' endo mixed puckering as in the C3'p5'A-proflavine complex. A comparison of the backbone torsion angles with other 2'-5' dinucleoside structures reveals that the major deviations occur in the torsion angles about the C3'-C2' and C4'-C3' bonds. A right-handed 2'-5' parallel stranded double helix having eight base pairs per turn and 45 degrees turn angle between them has been constructed using this dinucleoside phosphate as repeat unit. A discussion on 2'-5' parallel stranded double helix and its relevance to biological systems is presented. 相似文献

OAS1 is the small form and OAS2 is the medium form of the human interferon-induced 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetases. The p42 isoform of OAS1 and the p69 isoform of OAS2 have been expressed in insect cells and purified to give pure, highly active 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase. The catalysis of 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthesis is strictly dependent on double-stranded RNA and magnesium ions. We have examined the effect of a series of divalent metal ions: copper, iron and zinc ions strongly inhibited the enzymatic activity, cobalt and nickel ions were partly inhibitory whereas calcium and manganese ions were without effect. However, manganese ions can replace magnesium ions as activator. The inhibitory effect of zinc ions was characterised in detail. The inhibitory constants of Zn(2+) were estimated to be 0.10 mM for OAS1p42 and to 0.02 mM for OAS2p69. Cross-linking experiments showed that zinc ions can control the oligomerisation by enhancing the formation of tetrameric forms of OAS1p42 相似文献

A protein which promotes DNA strand transfer between linear double-stranded M13mp19 DNA and single-stranded viral M13mp19 DNA has been isolated from recA- E.coli. The protein is DNA polymerase I. Strand transfer activity residues in the small fragment encoding the 5'-3' exonuclease and can be detected using a recombinant protein comprising the first 324 amino acids encoded by polA. Either the recombinant 5'-3' exonuclease or intact DNA polymerase I can catalyze joint molecule formation, in reactions requiring only Mg2+ and homologous DNA substrates. Both kinds of reactions are unaffected by added ATP. Electron microscopy shows that the joint molecules formed in these reactions bear displaced single strands and therefore this reaction is not simply promoted by annealing of exonuclease-gapped molecules. The pairing reaction is also polar and displaces the 5'-end of the non-complementary strand, extending the heteroduplex joint in a 5'-3' direction relative to the displaced strand. Thus strand transfer occurs with the same polarity as nick translation. These results show that E.coli, like many eukaryotes, possesses a protein which can promote ATP-independent strand-transfer reactions and raises questions concerning the possible biological role of this function. 相似文献

VDJP (V(D)J RSS Dependent DNA Joining Protein) was cloned based on binding to the nonamer portion of the V(D)J recombinational signal sequence (RSS), and genetic analysis revealed that VDJP is encoded by the same gene as the large subunit of Replication Factor C (RF-C). Recombinant VDJP has a site directed DNA joining activity and is capable of forming a covalent bond between DNA fragments containing an RSS element near their ends and exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. In this report, we examine the biochemical properties of the VDJP exonuclease activity such as directionality of nuclease action (3' to 5' or 5' to 3'), single-strand substrate preference, cleavage products, dependence on cofactors and metal cations, and optimal reaction conditions. From this analysis, we conclude that VDJP has an intrinsic 3'-5' exonuclease activity that produces mononucleotide products. 相似文献
