that our modification could induce prolonged gene silencing due to improved metabolic stability. Molecular modeling studies revealed that the introduction of the 4′-C-ACM-2′-O-MOE modification at the 3′-end of the siRNA guide strand helps to anchor the strand within the PAZ domain of the hAgo2 protein. The overall results indicate that the 4′-C-ACM-2′-O-MOE uridine and thymidine modifications are promising
在本研究中,我们设计了4′- C-乙酰胺甲基-2′- O-甲氧基乙基(4′- C -ACM-2′- O -MOE)尿苷和胸苷修饰,旨在测试它们在小干扰RNA中的作用。热熔解研究表明,在 DNA 双链体中掺入单个 4'- C -ACM-2'- O -MOE 修饰会降低热稳定性。相反,当在 DNA:RNA 杂交体和 siRNA 中引入修饰时,观察到热稳定性增加。 DNA双链体的热失稳归因于不利的熵,这在一定程度上主要由焓因子补偿。在 3' 特异性核酸外切酶、蛇毒磷酸二酯酶 (SVPD) 存在下,dT 20 寡核苷酸 3' 末端倒数第二个位置上的单个 4'- C -ACM-2'- O -MOE 胸苷修饰显示出显着的修饰作用。与包括 2'- O -Me、2'- O -MOE 和 2'-F 在内的单体修饰相比,稳定性更高。在基因沉默研究中,我们发现过客链3'突出端的4'- C -ACM-2'- O
