Fluorescent metal sensors based on DNA often rely on changes in end-to-end distance or local environmental near fluorophore labels. Because metal ions can also nonspecifically interact with DNA through various mechanisms, such as charge screening, base binding, and increase or decrease in duplex stability, robust and specific sensing of metal ions has been quite challenging. In this work, a side-by-side comparison of two signaling strategies on a Na+-specific DNAzyme that contained a Na+-binding aptamer was performed. The duplex regions of the DNAzyme was systematically shortened and its effect was studied by using a 2-aminopurine (2AP)-labeled substrate strand. Na+ binding affected the local environmental of the 2AP label and increased its fluorescence. A synergistic process of Na+ binding and forming the duplex on the 5′-end of the enzyme strand was observed, and this end was close to the aptamer loop. The effect on the 3′-end is more continuous, and the stem needs to form first before Na+ can bind. With an optimized substrate binding arm, a FRET-based sensor has been designed by labeling the two ends of a cis form of the DNAzyme with two fluorophores. In this case, Na+ failed to show a distinct difference from that of Li+ or K+; thus indicating that probing changes to the local environment allows more robust sensing of metal ions.

The authors previously reported potent hit compound (I) inhibiting the wild-type influenza A virus A/HK/68 (H3N2) and A/M2-S31N mutant viruses A/WS/33 (H1N1), with its latter activity quite weak. To further increase its potency, a structure-activity relationship study of a series of imidazole-linked pinanamine derivatives was conducted by modifying the imidazole ring of this compound Several compounds of this series inhibited the amantadine-sensitive virus at low micromolar concentrations Among them, (II) (R1,R2,R3=alkyl) was the most potent compound, which was identified as being active on an amantadine-sensitive virus through blocking of the viral M2 ion channel. Furthermore, II markedly inhibited the amantadine-resistant virus (IC50 = 3.4 μM) and its activity increased by almost 24-fold compared to initial compound, with its action mechanism being not M2 channel mediated.

Widom, Julia R.; Hoeher, Janson E. published the artcile< Base-Stacking Heterogeneity in RNA Resolved by Fluorescence-Detected Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy>, Application In Synthesis of 452-06-2, the main research area is .

RNA plays a critical role in many biol. processes, and the structures it adopts are intimately linked to those functions. Among many factors that contribute to RNA folding, van der Waals interactions between adjacent nucleobases stabilize structures in which the bases are stacked on top of one another. Here, we utilize fluorescence-detected CD spectroscopy (FDCD) to investigate base-stacking heterogeneity in RNA labeled with the fluorescent adenine analog 2-aminopurine (2-AP). Comparison of standard (transmission-detected) CD and FDCD spectra reveals that in dinucleotides, 2-AP fluorescence is emitted almost exclusively by unstacked mols. In a trinucleotide, some fluorescence is emitted by a population of stacked and highly quenched mols., but more than half originates from a minor ~10% population of unstacked mols. The combination of FDCD and standard CD measurements reveals the prevalence of stacked and unstacked conformational subpopulations as well as their relative fluorescence quantum yields.

The extent of thermodn. stabilization of telomeric G-quadruplex (G4) by isomers of G4 ligand L2H2-6OTD, a telomestatin analog, is inversely correlated with susceptibility to S1 nuclease. L2H2-6OTD facilitated the S1 nuclease activities through the base flipping in G4, unlike the conventional role of G4 ligands which inhibit the protein binding to DNA/RNA upon ligand interactions.

Liu, Chu-Xiao; Guo, Si-Kun; Nan, Fang; Xu, Yi-Feng; Yang, Li; Chen, Ling-Ling published the artcile< RNA circles with minimized immunogenicity as potent PKR inhibitors>, SDS of cas: 452-06-2, the main research area is RNA immunogenicity PKR inhibitor; PKR; PKR inhibitor; T4 RNA ligase; circular RNA; circular RNA structure; dsRNA; group I intron; immune response; permuted Anabaena pre-tRNA group I intron; phage T4 thymidylate synthase gene.

Exon back-splicing-generated circular RNAs, as a group, can suppress double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase R (PKR) in cells. We have sought to synthesize immunogenicity-free, short dsRNA-containing RNA circles as PKR inhibitors. Here, we report that RNA circles synthesized by permuted self-splicing thymidylate synthase (td) introns from T4 bacteriophage or by Anabaena pre-tRNA group I intron could induce an immune response. Autocatalytic splicing introduces ∼74 nt td or ∼186 nt Anabaena extraneous fragments that can distort the folding status of original circular RNAs or form structures themselves to provoke innate immune responses. In contrast, synthesized RNA circles produced by T4 RNA ligase without extraneous fragments exhibit minimized immunogenicity. Importantly, directly ligated circular RNAs that form short dsRNA regions efficiently suppress PKR activation 103- to 106-fold higher than reported chem. compounds C16 and 2-AP, highlighting the future use of circular RNAs as potent inhibitors for diseases related to PKR overreaction.

Non-canonical forms of nucleic acids represent challenging objects for both structure-determination and investigation of their potential role in living systems. In this work, we uncover a structure adopted by GA repetition locked in a parallel homoduplex by an i-motif. A series of DNA oligonucleotides comprising GAGA segment and C3 clip is analyzed by NMR and CD spectroscopies to understand the sequence-structure-stability relationships. We demonstrate how the relative position of the homopurine GAGA segment and the C3 clip as well as single-base mutations (guanine deamination and cytosine methylation) affect base pairing arrangement of purines, i-motif topol. and overall stability. We focus on oligonucleotides C3GAGA and methylated GAGAC3 exhibiting the highest stability and structural uniformity which allowed determination of high-resolution structures further analyzed by unbiased mol. dynamics simulation. We describe sequence-specific supramol. interactions on the junction between homoduplex and i-motif blocks that contribute to the overall stability of the structures. The results show that the distinct structural motifs can not only coexist in the tight neighborhood within the same mol. but even mutually support their formation. Our findings are expected to have general validity and could serve as guides in future structure and stability investigations of nucleic acids.

Single mol. experiments have demonstrated a progressive transition from a B- to an L-form helix as DNA is gently stretched and progressively unwound. The particular sequence of a DNA segment defines both base stacking and hydrogen bonding that affect the partitioning and conformations of the two phases. Naturally or artificially modified bases alter H-bonds and base stacking and DNA with diaminopurine (DAP) replacing adenine was synthesized to produce linear fragments with triply hydrogen-bonded DAP:T base pairs. Both unmodified and DAP-substituted DNA transitioned from a B- to an L-helix under physiol. conditions of mild tension and unwinding. This transition avoids writhing and the ease of this transition may prevent cumbersome topol. rearrangements in genomic DNA that would require topoisomerase activity to resolve. L-DNA displayed about tenfold lower persistence length than B-DNA. However, left-handed DAP-substituted DNA was twice as stiff as unmodified L-DNA. Unmodified DNA and DAP-substituted DNA have very distinct mech. characteristics at physiol. levels of neg. supercoiling and tension.

Kimura, Satoshi; Fujisaka, Aki; Obika, Satoshi published the artcile< Nucleobase derivatives induce in-source decay of oligonucleotides as new matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization matrices>, Product Details of C5H5N5, the main research area is nucleobase derivative oligonucleotide decay MALDITOF mass spectrometry.

Rationale : For quality control of oligonucleotide therapeutics, accurate and efficient structural characterization using mass spectrometry techniques, such as liquid chromatog./mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), is essential. In MALDI MS anal., matrix selection is critical and a new matrix could enable more efficient and rapid structural anal. Methods : We hypothesized that nucleobase derivatives could act as matrixes more efficiently than the currently used matrixes for oligonucleotides because of structural similarity, which leads to close contact with the analyte. To evaluate their suitability as matrixes, 16 nucleobase derivatives were selected and tested as matrix candidates for oligonucleotide anal. Results : Six of the 16 nucleobase derivatives acted as matrixes for oligonucleotides. Particularly, 6-thioguanine (TG) performed well and induced clear in-source decay fragmentation. When TG or 2-amino-6-chloropurine was used as the matrix, oligonucleotides were ionized, and mainly the w and d fragment ions were observed Conclusions : Herein we demonstrate that a 10-mer RNA or DNA sequence can be successfully characterized using TG as matrix and suggest the possibility of using nucleobase derivatives as novel matrixes in oligonucleotide sequencing.

Xu, Yuancong; Cheng, Nan; Luo, Yunbo; Huang, Kunlun; Chang, Qiaoying; Pang, Guofang; Xu, Wentao published the artcile< An Exo III-assisted catalytic hairpin assembly-based self-fluorescence aptasensor for pesticide detection>, Computed Properties of 452-06-2, the main research area is exonuclease catalytic hairpin assembly fluorescence aptasensor pesticide detection.

This study proposed a self-fluorescence aptasensor (SFA) based on an Exo III-assisted catalytic hairpin assembly (EACHA) for pesticide detection. The aptamer in this sensor can specifically recognize the target due to the favorable biol. binding affinity and also can drive the EACHA by modifying the spatial configuration. EACHA was designed as a cyclic amplification process that improved the rate of reused aptamer beacon fuel, and increased the detection efficiency and sensitivity. The signal was applied using the 2-aminopurine (2AP) mol., the fluorescence of which could be quenched via stacking interaction with the adjacent bases in the beacon. Given its fluorescent properties, this design achieved low background anal. with high sensitivity. Chlorpyrifos was used as a model to explore the SFA proof-of-concept. By replacing the aptamer, this method can be extended to other pesticide mols. Therefore, this study may become a powerful tool for quant. detection of various targets for different purposes.
