Kinetics and Mechanism of Facile and Selective Dephosphorylation of 2‘-Phosphorylated and 2‘-Thiophosphorylated Dinucleotides: Neighboring 3‘−5‘ Phosphodiester Promotes 2‘-Dephosphorylation
摘要:
2'-phosphorylated and 2'-thiophosphorylated dinucleotides U(2'-p)pU (1) and U(2'-ps)pU (2) were found to undergo facile 2'-specific dephosphorylation at 90 degrees C in neutral aqueous solution to give UpU, and the first-order rate constants of these reactions were determined by HPLC. Particularly, U(2'-ps)pU (2, k = 1.38 +/- 0.4 x 10(-3) s(-1), t(comp) = 1 h) was cleanly dephosphorylated ca. 100 times more rapidly than U(2'-p)pU (1, k = 1.41 +/- 0.05 x 10(-5) s(-1), t(comp) = 72 h). Dephosphorylations of 1 and 2 were faster than those of thymidine 3'-phosphate (8) and thymidine 3'-thiophosphate (9), respectively. The kinetic data observed were independent of the 2'- or 3'-position of the phosphate group and the kind of base moiety. The neighboring 3'-5' phosphodiester function most probably promotes the 2'-dephosphorylation efficiently. A branched trimer, U(2'-pU)pU (3), and related compounds having a substituent on the 2'-phosphoryl group, such as U(2'-pp-biotin)pU (4) and U(2'-ps-bimane)pU (5), were rather resistant to hydrolysis. The addition of divalent metal ions (Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, and Cd2+) remarkably decreased the rate of 2'-de(thio)phosphorylation of 1 or 2. Among these metal ions, Zn2+ most significantly inhibited the dephosphorylation. On the contrary, trivalent metal ions considerably accelerated the 2'-de(thio)phosphorylation of 1 or 2. The mechanism of 2'-dephosphorylation in the presence and absence of various metal ions is also discussed.

Synthesis of partially 2'/3'-O-acetylated oligoribonucleotides has been accomplished by using a 2'/3'-O-acetyl orthogonal protecting group strategy in which nonnucleophilic strong-base (DBU) labile nucleobase protecting groups and a LTV-light cleavable linker were used. Strong-base stability of the photolabile linker allowed on-column nucleobase and phosphate deprotection, followed by a mild cleavage of the acetylated oligonucleotides from the solid support with UV light. Two 17nt oligonucleotides, which were synthesized possessing one specific internal 2' or 3'-acetyl group, were used as synthetic standards in a recent report from this laboratory detailing the prebiotically plausible ligation of RNA oligonucleotides. In order to further investigate the effect of 2'/3'-O-acetyl groups on the stability of RNA duplex structure, two complementary bis-acetylated RNA oligonucleotides were also expediently obtained with the newly developed protocols. UV melting curves of 2'-O-acetylated RNA duplexes showed a consistent similar to 3.1 degrees C decrease in T-m per 2'-O-acetyl group.
