2-Bromoadenosine-Substituted 2′,5′-Oligoadenylates Modulate Binding and Activation Abilities of Human Recombinant RNase L
摘要:
2-Bromoadenosine-substituted analogues of 2-5A, p5'A2'p-5'A2'p5'(br(2)A), p5'(br(2)A)2'p5'A2'p5'A, and p5'(br(2)A)2'p5'(br(2)A)2'p5'(br(2)A), were prepared via a modification of a lead ion-catalyzed ligation reaction and were subsequently converted into the corresponding 5'-triphosphates. Both binding and activation of human recombinant RNase L by various 2-bromoadenosine-substituted 2-5A analogues were examined. Among the 2-bromoadenosine-substituted 2-5A analogues, the analogue with 2-bromoadenosine residing in the 2'-terminal position, p5'A2'p5'A2'p5'(br(2)A), showed the strongest binding affinity and was as effective as 2-5A itself as an activator of RNase L. The CD spectrum of p5'A2'p5'A2'p5'(br(2)A) was superimposable on that of p5'A2'p5'A2'p5'A, indicative of an anti orientation about the base-glycoside bonds as in naturally occurring 2-5A.
