- Phosphonomethyl Oligonucleotides as Backbone-Modified Artificial Genetic Polymers
-
Although several synthetic or xenobiotic nucleic acids (XNAs) have been shown to be viable genetic materials in vitro, major hurdles remain for their in vivo applications, particularly orthogonality. The availability of XNAs that do not interact with natu

- 4-Acetylthio-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxobutyl group as an esterase- And thermo-labile protecting group for oligomeric phosphodiesters
-
(4-Acetylthio-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxobutyl)-protected oligomeric phosphodiesters 1 and 2 were synthesized and removal of the protecting groups in the presence and absence of hog liver esterase was followed at pH 7.5 and 37 °C. Phosphotriesters 1 and 2 were successfully converted into the desired fully deprotected phosphodiesters 3 and 4, respectively. Some cleavage of internucleosidic P-O bonds took place, which reduced the yield of 3 and 4. Non-enzymatic removal of the protecting group was only modestly retarded by accumulation of negative charge on the molecule. With 1, the half-lives for the departure of the first and second protecting groups were 7.8 and 10.7 h, respectively, and with 2, 6.2 and 7.2 h, respectively. After 4 d, 70% of both starting materials 1 and 2 were converted into the unprotected phosphodiester. The presence of hog liver esterase (2.6 units mL-1) resulted in fast removal of the first protecting group (τ1/2 2.7 min and 36 min with 1 and 2, respectively), but the appearance of fully deprotected 3 and 4 was accelerated only by a factor of 2, consistent with dramatic retardation of the enzymatic reaction upon accumulation of the negative charge.

- Chemical synthesis, crystal structure and enzymatic evaluation of a dinucleotide spore photoproduct analogue containing a formacetal linker
-
Spore photoproduct (SP) is the exclusive DNA photodamage product found in bacterial endospores. Its photoformation and repair by a metalloenzyme spore photoproduct lyase (SPL) composes the unique SP biochemistry. Despite the fact that the SP was discovered almost 50 years ago, its crystal structure is still unknown and the lack of structural information greatly hinders the study of SP biochemistry. Employing a formacetal linker and organic synthesis, we successfully prepared a dinucleotide SP isostere 5R-CH2SP, which contains a neutral CH2 moiety between the two thymine residues instead of a phosphate. The neutral linker dramatically facilitates the crystallization process, allowing us to obtain the crystal structure for this intriguing thymine dimer half a century after its discovery. Further ROESY spectroscopic, DFT computational, and enzymatic studies of this 5R-CH 2SP compound prove that it possesses similar properties with the 5R-SP species, suggesting that the revealed structure truly reflects that of SP generated in Nature.

- A convenient protection for 4-oxopyrimidine moieties in nucleosides by the pivaloyl group
-
Application of the pivaloyl group as a protection for the N3 position of thymidine and uridine was investigated. Pivaloylation of thymidine is a very rapid reaction proceeding under mild conditions with excellent regioselectivity for sugar or thymine moiety, depending on the amines used. Several pivaloylated thymidine derivatives were obtained by treatment of unprotected thymidine with pivaloyl chloride under various experimental conditions. Stability of the N3-pivaloyl protecting group under basic and acidic conditions was evaluated and the conditions for its selective removal were found.
