Mechanistic Studies of the 5-Iodouracil Chromophore Relevant to Its Use in Nucleoprotein Photo-Cross-Linking
摘要:
The photoreactivity of the 5-iodouracil chromophore was investigated toward understanding photo-cross-linking of nucleic acids bearing the chromophore to functionality in associated proteins. Irradiation of 5-iodouridine (TCT) in the presence of a 10-fold excess of N-acetyltyrosine N-ethylamide (1) at 308 nm with a XeCl excimer laser or at 325 nm with a HeCd laser yields uridine (U) and N-acetyl-m-(5-uridinyl)tyrosine N-ethylamide (2) in a 1:2 mole ratio. In the presence of N-acetylphenylalanine N-ethylamide, uridine and analogous ortho, meta, and para regioisomeric adducts (3o, 3m, and 3p) were formed in a similar U to adduct mole ratio. The primary photochemical process leading to products was established as carbon-iodine bond homolysis in the first excited singlet state from a deuterium labeling experiment, photoacoustic calorimetry, and quantum yield measurements. Photoreduction of IU in 2-propanol-d solvent gave U with no deuterium incorporation. Photoacoustic calorimetric measurements established that triplet benzophenone transferred energy to IU with a rate constant of 2 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1). Further, the reaction of IU with 1 to form 2 was sensitized by benzophenone; however, comparison of quantum yields upon direct and sensitized excitation indicated that, at most, only a small portion of the reactions occurred via the triplet state. With direct excitation of IU, quantum yields as a function of the concentration of 1 showed that U and adduct 2 resulted from a common intermediate proposed to be the 5-uridinyl radical. Uridine formation was enhanced by the presence of hydrogen atom donors at the expense of formation of 2. Quantum yields were independent of excitation wavelength in the region 310-330 nm but not the reaction medium. The quantum yield of uridine formation but not adduct formation was approximately an order of magnitude higher in 90% acetonitrile-10% water than in pH 7 water. The results are discussed in terms of high-yield cross-linking of nucleic acids bearing the 5-iodouracil chromophore to associated proteins in light of cocrystal X-ray structural data.

A method for identifying nucleic acid ligands to target molecules using the SELEX procedure wherein the candidate nucleic acids contain photoreactive groups and nucleic acid ligands identified thereby are claimed. The complexes of increased affinity nucleic acids and target molecules formed in the procedure are crosslinked by irradiation to facilitate separation from unbound nucleic acids. In other methods partitioning of high and low affinity nucleic acids is facilitated by primer extension steps as shown in the figure in which chain termination nucleotides, digestion resistant nucleotides or nucleotides that allow retention of the cDNA product on an affinity matrix are differentially incorporated into the cDNA products of either the high or low affinity nucleic acids and the cDNA products are treated accordingly to amplification, enzymatic or chemical digestion or by contact with an affinity matrix.

AbstractThe results of mechanistic studies on formation of uridine (U) and N‐acetyl‐in‐(5‐uridinyl)tyrosine N‐ethylam‐ide (2) from irradiation of aqueous, pH 7 solutions of bromouridine (BrU) and N‐acetyltyrosine JV‐ethylamide (1) are reported. Solutions were irradiated with monochromatic laser emission at 266, 308 and 325 nm. Quantum yield measurements as a function of excitation wavelength suggest that both products result from excitation of the tyrosine derivative followed by electron transfer to BrU, possibly with intermediacy of the hydrated electron. The BrU radical anion ejects bromide to form the uri‐dinyl radical, which then abstracts a hydrogen atom from 1 or adds to the aromatic ring of 1. Formation of adduct 2 is a model for photocrosslinking of nucleic acids bearing the bromouracil chromophore to adjacent tyrosine residues of proteins in nucleoprotein complexes. The value of 325 nm excitation in photocrosslinking, where the tyrosine chromophore is more competitive for photons, was demonstrated with an RNA bound to the MS2 bacteriophage coat protein; more than a 60% increase in the yield of photocrosslinking relative to that obtained with 308 nm excitation was achieved.
