Use of locked nucleic acid oligonucleotides to add functionality to plasmid DNA.
The available reagents for the attachment of functional moieties to plasmid DNA are limiting. Most reagents bind plasmid DNA in a non-sequence- specific manner, with undefined stoichiometry, and affect DNA charge and delivery properties or involve chemical modifications that abolish gene expression. The design and ability of oligonucleotides (ODNs) containing locked nucleic acids (LNAs) to bind...
متن کاملDevelopment of bis-locked nucleic acid (bisLNA) oligonucleotides for efficient invasion of supercoiled duplex DNA
In spite of the many developments in synthetic oligonucleotide (ON) chemistry and design, invasion into double-stranded DNA (DSI) under physiological salt and pH conditions remains a challenge. In this work, we provide a new ON tool based on locked nucleic acids (LNAs), designed for strand invasion into duplex DNA (DSI). We thus report on the development of a clamp type of LNA ON-bisLNA-with ca...
متن کاملStability and Mismatch Discrimination of Locked Nucleic Acid–DNA Duplexes
Locked nucleic acids (LNA; symbols of bases, +A, +C, +G, and +T) are introduced into chemically synthesized oligonucleotides to increase duplex stability and specificity. To understand these effects, we have determined thermodynamic parameters of consecutive LNA nucleotides. We present guidelines for the design of LNA oligonucleotides and introduce free online software that predicts the stabili...
متن کاملDesign and characterization of decoy oligonucleotides containing locked nucleic acids.
Transfection of cis-element double-stranded oligonucleotides, referred to as decoy ODNs, has been reported to be a powerful tool that provides a new class of antigene strategies for gene therapy. However, one of the major limitations of the decoy approach is the rapid degradation of phosphodiester oligonucleotides by intracellular nucleases. To date, several DNA analogs have been employed to ov...
متن کاملDesign of antisense oligonucleotides stabilized by locked nucleic acids.
The design of antisense oligonucleotides containing locked nucleic acids (LNA) was optimized and compared to intensively studied DNA oligonucleotides, phosphorothioates and 2'-O-methyl gapmers. In contradiction to the literature, a stretch of seven or eight DNA monomers in the center of a chimeric DNA/LNA oligonucleotide is necessary for full activation of RNase H to cleave the target RNA. For ...
