Improved Targeting of the Flanks of a DNA Stem Using α-Oligodeoxynucleotides.-The Enhanced Effect of an Intercalator
摘要:
2'-Deoxy-5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-methyl-N-4-(1-pyrenylmethyl)-alpha-cytidine (5) was prepared by reaction of 1-pyrenylmethylamine with an appropriate protected 4-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-alpha-thymidine derivative 3 which was synthesized from 5-O-DMT protected alpha-thymidine 1. Aminolysis of 3 afforded 3'-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-methyl-alpha-cytidine (8). Benzoylation of 8 and removal of acetyl afforded N-4-benzoyl-(2)-deoxy-5-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-methyl-alpha-cytidine (10). The amidites of compounds 5 and 10 were prepared and used in ol-oligonucleotide synthesis. DNA three-way junction (TWJ) is stabilized when an alpha-ODN is used for targeting the dangling flanks of the stem in a DNA hairpin. Further stabilization of the TWJ is observed when 5 is inserted into the alpha-ODN at the junction region.

4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl and acetyl sugar protected alpha and beta thymidines are converted into the corresponding N-4-aryl-2-deoxy-5-methylcytidines via 4-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyloxy) pyrimidin-2(1H)-one nucleosides. These compounds were used for DNA synthesis after deacetylation and phosphitylation. Increased melting temperatures (6.2-9.6 degrees C) of three-way junctions (TWJ) were observed when N-4-(2-anilinophenyl)-, N-4-(2-benzylphenyl)- or N-4-(2-fluorenyl)-2-deoxy-5-methylcytidines were inserted into the middle of the junction region. A 26.6 degrees C increase in melting temperature was observed using a nucleosides in one of the strands of TWJ and with insertion of 2-deoxy-N-4-(2-fluorenyl)-5-methyl-alpha-cytidine at the junction. A large increase in thermal melting (18.8 degrees C) of the TWJ was also observed when 2-deoxy-5-methyl-N-4-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-alpha-cytidine was inserted at the junction as a chimeric nucleoside into a strand of beta nucleosides.
