Family ties: The AlkB family of nonheme iron, α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenases is involved in biological processes such as DNA/RNA repair and obesity. The AlkB domain of ABH8 is shown to catalyze the hydroxylation of a modified uridine (mcmsu

Five ribofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides and their corresponding 1,2,3-triazole derivatives have been synthesized and characterized. Their inhibitory action to Ribonuclease A has been studied by biochemical analysis and X-ray crystallography. These compounds are potent competitive inhibitors of RNase A with low μM inhibition constant (Ki) values with the ones having a triazolo linker being more potent than the ones without. The most potent of these is 1-[(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]uracil being with Ki = 1.6 μM. The high resolution X-ray crystal structures of the RNase A in complex with three most potent inhibitors of these inhibitors have shown that they bind at the enzyme catalytic cleft with the pyrimidine nucleobase at the B1 subsite while the triazole moiety binds at the main subsite P1, where P-O5′ bond cleavage occurs, and the ribose at the interface between subsites P1 and P0 exploiting interactions with residues from both subsites. The effect of a susbsituent group at the 5-pyrimidine position at the inhibitory potency has been also examined and results show that any addition at this position leads to a less efficient inhibitor. Comparative structural analysis of these RNase A complexes with other similar RNase A - ligand complexes reveals that the triazole moiety interactions with the protein form the structural basis of their increased potency. The insertion of a triazole linker between the pyrimidine base and the ribose forms the starting point for further improvement of these inhibitors in the quest for potent ribonucleolytic inhibitors with pharmaceutical potential.
Transglycosylation in the Modification and Isotope Labeling of Pyrimidine Nucleosides
Gong, Yong,Chen, Lu,Zhang, Wei,Salter, Rhys
, p. 5577 - 5581 (2020)
Transglycosylation of pyrimidine nucleosides is demonstrated in a one-pot synthesis of uridine derivatives under microwave irradiation. Inductive activation of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl uridine with a 5-nitro group produces a more-reactive glycosyl donor. Under optimized Vorbrüggen conditions, the 5-nitrouridine facilitates a reversible nucleobase exchange with a series of 5-substituted uracils. The protocol is also exemplified in a gram-scale reaction under thermal heating. The strategy provides easy access to isotopically labeled uridine.
