Efficient Preparation of Organic Substrate−RNA Conjugates via in Vitro Transcription
摘要:
A concise synthetic way has been developed for the preparation of guanosine monophosphate derivatives carrying a decaethylene glycol spacer at their 5'-oxygen to which are attached a range of organic substrates. The four different compounds, prepared via a convergent synthetic strategy, carry a tethered benzylallyl ether residue (1a), an anthracene (1b), a benzyl carbamate residue (1c), or a primary amino group (1d), respectively. All four compounds have been successfully incorporated at the T-end of a 25-mer long RNA transcript via T7 RNA polymerase, and no inhibition of chain elongation could be observed. Under proper conditions, 1a and 1b can be incorporated up to 90-95% and 1c up to 68%. The amino-terminated initiator Id is incorporated less efficiently although still up to 49%. These results show that the more hydrophobic the guanosine monophosphate derivative is, the higher is its enzymatic incorporation.

We present an efficient method to synthesize RNA–peptide conjugates employing inverse Diels–Alder cycloaddition. Different dienophiles are enzymatically incorporated into RNA and then conjugated with a tetrazine peptide at 1 : 1 stoichiometry.
