Syntheses of 15N-labeled pre-queuosine nucleobase derivatives

چکیده
Pre-queuosine or queuine (preQ1) is a guanine derivative that is involved in the biosynthetic pathway of the hypermodified tRNA nucleoside queuosine (Que). The core structure of preQ1 is represented by 7-(aminomethyl)-7-deazaguanine (preQ1 base). Here, we report the synthesis of three preQ1 base derivatives with complementary (15)N-labeling patterns, utilizing [(15)N]-KCN, [(15)N]-phthalimide, and [(15)N3]-guanidine as cost-affordable (15)N sources. Such derivatives are required to explore the binding process of the preQ1 base to RNA targets using advanced NMR spectroscopic methods. PreQ1 base specifically binds to bacterial mRNA domains and thereby regulates genes that are required for queuosine biosynthesis.

Impact of 15N-labeled rice straw and rice straw compost application on N mineralization and N uptake by rice
Incorporation of plant residues in soil affects N and C content and dynamics. This studydetermined the effects of short-term alternative rice (Oryza sativa L.) residue management on Nmineralization and uptake by rice. Pot and laboratory incubation experiments were established byincorporating 15N-labeled rice straw and rice straw compost in paddy soil. The 15N recovered by riceaveraged 16.6%; mo...

We report on the contamination of commercial 15-nitrogen (15N) N2 gas stocks with 15N-enriched ammonium, nitrate and/or nitrite, and nitrous oxide. 15N2 gas is used to estimate N2 fixation rates from incubations of environmental samples by monitoring the incorporation of isotopically labeled 15N2 into organic matter. However, the microbial assimilation of bioavailable 15N-labeled N2 gas contami...

Degradation of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) in fresh or frozen-thawed alfalfa and ryegrass was studied by using in situ technique. The forages were labeled with 15N during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at similar growth phase, and fresh (F) or frozen-thawed (FT) samples were incubated in the rumen of 3 sheep. There was no difference (P>0.05) between forage type (S) for the immediately s...

This experiment was done to investigate microbial contamination and in situ disappearance rates of dry matter (DM), N and 15N of fresh labeled ryegrass. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) were labeled with 15N during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at 4th leaves stage and were incubated up to 34 h in situ in the rumen of 3 individually housed sheep. The animals were fed 800 g/d chopped alfal...
متن کاملAn alternative base-pairing of catechol-bearing nucleosides by borate formation.
A chelator-type beta-C-nucleoside having a catechol ligand as the nucleobase was found to form a stable 2:1 complex with trimethyl borate, which was characterized by 1H-NMR and electrospray ionization time-of-flight (ESI-TOF) mass spectroscopies. Both phosphoramidite and phosphotriester derivatives of this nucleoside were also prepared as synthetic precursors for DNA oligomer syntheses.
