Synthesis and characterization of disulfide cross-linked oligonucleotides
摘要:
Disulfide cross-linked derivatives of the ''Dickerson/Drew dodecamer'' 5'-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3' and the related decamer 5'-d(GCGAATTCGC)-3' have been synthesized, each bearing a dithiobis(ethane) (C2) or dithiobis-(propane) (C3) cross-link at the central adenine (A). NMR and CD spectroscopy indicate that these duplexes are essentially undistorted relative to native B-DNA. However, cross-linking does confer a large degree of stabilization upon the duplexes, as reflected in increased melting temperatures of 15-21-degrees-C for the cross-linked oligonucleotides relative to those for the native sequences. In contrast, un-cross-linked tethers at the same adenines cause substantial decreases in the melting temperature. The cross-linked duplexes were also found to be stable to millimolar concentrations of beta-mercaptoethanol, an important feature for future applications of these cross-links to the study of protein-DNA interactions.
A Rapid, High-Yield Method for 5′-Hydroxyl Protection in Very Reactive and Amino Group Modified Nucleosides Using Dimethoxytrityl Tetrafluoroborate
摘要:
The conventional method for 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl (DMT) etherification of the 5'-hydroxyl termini in deoxynucleosides that are either highly reactive or those bearing modifications at the exocyclic amino group can be quite problematic, and in several cases the yields are at best mediocre. Herein, we report a rapid, convenient and general procedure for the facile 5'-hydroxyl protection of these nucleosides in exceptionally high yields using DM(+)BF(4)(.). This reagent is particularly useful for the preparation of 5'-O-DMT ethers of nucleosides that are either synthetically valuable or for those that undergo degradation under standard conditions.
