Allosteric inhibitors of telomerase: oligonucleotide N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates.
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein responsible for maintaining telomeres in nearly all eukaryotic cells. The enzyme is able to utilize a short segment of its RNA subunit as the template for the reverse transcription of d(TTAGGG) repeats onto the ends of human chromosomes. Transfection with telomerase was shown to confer immortality on several types of human cells. Moreover, telomerase activation...
متن کاملStable triple helices formed by oligonucleotide N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates inhibit transcription elongation.
Oligonucleotide analogs with N3'-->P5' phosphoramidate linkages bind to the major groove of double-helical DNA at specific oligopurine.oligopyrimidine sequences. These triple-helical complexes are much more stable than those formed by oligonucleotides with natural phosphodiester linkages. Oligonucleotide phosphoramidates containing thymine and cytosine or thymine, cytosine, and guanine bind str...
متن کاملAn improved synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotide N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates and their chimera using hindered phosphoramidite monomers and a novel handle for reverse phase purification.
Oligodeoxynucleotide N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates are promising candidates for antisense therapeutics, as well as for diagnostic applications. We recently reported a new method for the synthesis of these oligonucleotide analogs which makes use of a phosphoramidite amine-exchange reaction in the key coupling step. We report herein an improved set of monomers that utilize a more reactive, hindered ...
متن کاملSynthesis of N3′-P5′-linked Phosphoramidate DNA by Nonenzymatic Template-Directed Primer Extension
A fast and accurate pathway for nonenzymatic RNA replication would simplify models for the emergence of the RNA world from the prebiotic chemistry of the early earth. However, numerous difficulties stand in the way of an experimental demonstration of effective nonenzymatic RNA replication. To gain insight into the necessary properties of potentially self-replicating informational polymers, we h...
متن کاملAntiadhesive effects of GRN163L--an oligonucleotide N3'->P5' thio-phosphoramidate targeting telomerase.
We determined previously that a novel human telomerase RNA (hTR) antagonist, GRN163L, inhibited the tumorigenic potential of A549-luciferase (A549-luc) lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Further studies revealed that A549-luc cells were also morphologically altered by GRN163L. A549-luc cells treated before cell attachment with a single dose of GRN163L only weakly attached to the substrate ...
