Sequence-specific 3-deazaadenosine (c3A)-substituted analogues of trimeric 2′,5′-oligoadenylate, p5′A2′p5′ A2′p5′A, were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to activate human RNase L (EC 3.1.2.6) aiming at the elucidation of the nitrogen-3 role in this biochemical process. Substitution of either 5′-terminal or 2′-terminal adenosine with c3A afforded the respective analogues p5′(c3A)2′p5′A2′p5′A and p5′A2′p5′A2′p5′(c3A) that were as effective as the natural tetramer itself as activators of RNase L (EC 50=1nM). In contrast, p5′A2′p5′(c 3A)2′p5′A showed diminished RNase L activation ability (EC50=10nM). The extensive conformational analysis of the c 3A-substituted core trimers versus the parent natural core trimer by the 1H and 13C NMR, and CD spectroscopy displayed close stereochemical similarity between the natural core trimer and (c 3A)2′p5′A2′p5′A and A2′p5′ A2′p5′(c3A) analogues, thereby strong evidences for the syn base orientation about the glycosyl bond of the c3A residue of the latter were found. On the contrary, an analogue A2′p5′(c 3A)2′p5′A displayed rather essential deviations from the spatial arrangement of the parent natural core trimer.
