چکیده

Abstract Nonenzymatic copying of RNA templates with activated nucleotides is a useful model for studying the emergence heredity at origin life. Previous experiments defined-sequence have pointed to poor fidelity primer extension as major problem. Here we examine mismatches during on random in simultaneous presence all four 2-aminoimidazole-activated nucleotides. Using deep sequencing approach that reports millions individual template-product pairs, are able correct and incorrect polymerization function sequence context. We previously shown predominant pathway involves reaction imidazolium-bridged dinucleotides, which form spontaneously by two mononucleotides each other. now show sequences correctly paired products reveal patterns expected from bridged dinucleotide mechanism, whereas those associated consistent direct mononucleotides. Increasing ratio dinucleotides mononucleotides, either using purified components or isocyanide-based activation chemistry, reduces error frequency. Our results point testable strategies accurate nonenzymatic arbitrary sequences.

A Highly Reactive Imidazolium-Bridged Dinucleotide Intermediate in Nonenzymatic RNA Primer Extension.

Because of its importance for the origin of life, the nonenzymatic copying of RNA templates has been the subject of intense study for several decades. Previous characterizations of template-directed primer extension using 5'-phosphoryl-2-methylimidazole-activated nucleotides (2-MeImpNs) as substrates have assumed a classical in-line nucleophilic substitution mechanism, in which the 3'-hydroxyl ...

Effect of terminal 3'-hydroxymethyl modification of an RNA primer on nonenzymatic primer extension.

The significance of the precise position of the hydroxyl at the 3'-end of an RNA primer for nonenzymatic template-directed primer extension is not well understood. We show that an RNA primer terminating in 3'-hydroxymethyl-2',3'-dideoxy-guanosine has greatly diminished activity, suggesting that the spatial preorganization of the terminal sugar contributes significantly to the efficiency of prim...

Replacing Uridine with 2-Thiouridine Enhances the Rate and Fidelity of Nonenzymatic RNA Primer Extension

The nonenzymatic replication of RNA oligonucleotides is thought to have played a key role in the origin of life prior to the evolution of ribozyme-catalyzed RNA replication. Although the copying of oligo-C templates by 2-methylimidazole-activated G monomers can be quite efficient, the copying of mixed sequence templates, especially those containing A and U, is particularly slow and error-prone....

Insight into the mechanism of nonenzymatic RNA primer extension from the structure of an RNA-GpppG complex.

The nonenzymatic copying of RNA templates with imidazole-activated nucleotides is a well-studied model for the emergence of RNA self-replication during the origin of life. We have recently discovered that this reaction can proceed through the formation of an imidazolium-bridged dinucleotide intermediate that reacts rapidly with the primer. To gain insight into the relationship between the struc...
