- Enzymatic synthesis of 2'-deoxyguanosine with nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase-II.
-
Nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase-II (NdRT-II) of Lactobacillus helveticus, which catalyzes the transfer of a glycosyl residue from a donor deoxyribonucleoside to an acceptor base, has a broad specificity for the acceptor bases. Six-substituted purines were found to be substrates as acceptor bases for NdRT-II. Using this property of the enzyme, we established a practical procedure for enzymatic synthesis of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo), consisting of the transglycosylation from thymidine to 6-substituted purine (2-amino-6-chloropurine; ACP) instead of natural guanine and the conversion of 2-amino-6-chloropurine-2'-deoxyriboside (ACPdR) to dGuo with bacterial adenosine deaminase. Through the successive reactions, dGuo was synthesized in high yield.

- 6-Substituted 2-Aminopurine-2′-deoxyribonucleoside 5′-Triphosphates that Trace Cytosine Methylation
-
Gene expression is extensively regulated by the occurrence and distribution of the epigenetic marker 2′-deoxy 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in genomic DNA. Because of its effects on tumorigenesis there is an important link to human health. In addition, detection of 5mC can serve as an outstanding biomarker for diagnostics as well as for disease therapy. Our previous studies have already shown that, by processing O6-alkylated 2′-deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) analogues, DNA polymerases are able to sense the presence of a single 5mC unit in a template. Here we present the synthesis and evaluation of an extended toolbox of 6-substituted 2-aminopurine-2′-deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates modified at position 6 with various functionalities. We found that sensing of 5-methylation by this class of nucleotides is more general, not being restricted to O6-alkyl modification of dGTP but also applying to other functionalities.

- Chain-terminating and clickable NAD+ analogues for labeling the target proteins of ADP-ribosyltransferases
-
ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) use NAD+ as a substrate and play important roles in numerous biological processes, such as the DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation, by transferring multiple ADP-ribose units onto target proteins to form poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains of variable sizes. Efforts to identify direct targets of PARylation, as well as the specific ADP-ribose acceptor sites, must all tackle the complexity of PAR. Herein, we report new NAD+ analogues that are efficiently processed by wild-type ARTs and lead to chain termination owing to a lack of the required hydroxy group, thereby significantly reducing the complexity of the protein modification. Due to the presence of an alkyne group, these NAD+ analogues allow subsequent manipulations by click chemistry for labeling with dyes or affinity markers. This study provides insight into the substrate scope of ARTs and might pave the way for the further developments of chemical tools for investigating PAR metabolism.

- Process for producing 2'-deoxyguanosine
-
The invention provides a process for producing 2′-deoxyguanosine, characterized in that the process includes reacting one compound selected from the group consisting of guanosine, guanosine 5′-monophosphate, and 2-amino-6-substituted purine with 2′-deoxynucleoside in the presence of nucleoside deoxyribosyl transferase and a hydrolase. According to the process of the present invention, 2′-deoxyguanosine can be synthesized efficiently from inexpensive and easily available starting materials. Since no guanosine, which disturbs purification, is virtually present in a reaction mixture, isolation and purification of 2′-deoxyguanosine can be performed in a very simple manner. Thus, the process for producing 2′-deoxyguanosine is practical.

- A convenient synthesis of 2'-deoxy-6-thioguanosine, ara-guanine, ara-6-thioguanine and certain related purine nucleosides by the stereospecific sodium salt glycosylation procedure [1]
-
A simple and high-yield synthesis of biologically significant 2'-deoxy-6-thioguanosine, ara-6-thioguanine and araG has been accomplished employing the stereospecific sodium salt glycosylation method. Glycosylation of the sodium salt of 6-chloro- and 2-amino-6-chloropurine (1 and 2, respectively) with 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-α-D-erythro-pentofuranose gave the corresponding N-9 substituted nucleosides as major products with the β-anomeric configuration (4 and 5, respectively) along with a minor amount of the N-7 positional isomers (6 and 7). Treatment of 4 with hydrogen sulfide in methanol containing sodium methoxide gave 2'-deoxy-6-thioinosine in 93% yield. Similarly, 5 was transformed into 2'-deoxy-6-thioguanosine (β-TGdR, 11) in 71% yield. Reaction of the sodium salt of 2 with 1-chloro-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranose gave N-7 and N-9 glycosylated products 13 and 9, respectively. Debenzylation of 9 with boron trichloride at -78° gave the versatile intermediate 2-amino-6-chloro-9-β-D-arabinofuranosylpurine 62% yield. Direct treatment of 14 with sodium hydrosulfide furnished ara-6-thioguanine. Alkaline hydrolysis of 14 readily gave 9-β-D-arabinofuranosylguanine (araG, 17), which on subsequent phosphorylation with phosphorus oxychloride in trimethyl phosphate afforded araG 5'-monophosphate.
