چکیده

We report the synthesis of a 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine (5fU) phosphoramidite and the preparation of oligonucleotides comprising all known, naturally observed eukaryotic thymidine modifications. Biophysical characterization of the synthetic oligonucleotides indicates that 5fU, but not the other T-derivatives, can alter DNA structures.

Preferential formation of (5S,6R)-thymine glycol for oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthesis and analysis of drug binding to thymine glycol-containing DNA

We previously reported the chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides containing thymine glycol, a major form of oxidative DNA damage. In the preparation of the phosphoramidite building block, the predominant product of the osmium tetroxide oxidation of protected thymidine was (5R,6S)-thymidine glycol. To obtain the building block of the other isomer, (5S,6R)-thymidine glycol, in an amount sufficie...

Guanine-thymine intrastrand cross-linked lesion containing oligonucleotides: from chemical synthesis to in vitro enzymatic replication.

An intrastrand cross-link lesion, in which two neighboring nucleobases are covalently tethered, has been site-specifically synthesized into defined sequence oligonucleotides in order to perform in vitro replication studies using either bacterial replicative or translesional synthesis polymerases. The investigated tandem base lesion that involves a cross-link between the methylene group of thymi...

A modified thymine for the synthesis of site-specific thymine-guanine DNA interstrand crosslinks

DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are highly cytotoxic lesions formed by a variety of important anti-tumor agents. Despite the clinical importance of ICLs, the mechanisms by which these lesions are repaired in mammalian cells have so far remained elusive. One of the obstacles in the study of ICL repair has been the limited availability of suitable methods for the synthesis of defined site-speci...

N-Branched acyclic nucleoside phosphonates as monomers for the synthesis of modified oligonucleotides.

Protected N-branched nucleoside phosphonates containing adenine and thymine bases were prepared as the monomers for the introduction of aza-acyclic nucleotide units into modified oligonucleotides. The phosphotriester and phosphoramidite methods were used for the incorporation of modified and natural units, respectively. The solid phase synthesis of a series of nonamers containing one central mo...

Solid phase-supported thymine dimers for the construction of dimer-containing DNA by combined chemical and enzymatic synthesis: a potentially general method for the efficient incorporation of modified nucleotides into DNA.

The ability to study the structure-activity relationships of the cis-syn thymine dimer, the major photoproduct of DNA, has been greatly aided by the availability of a building block suitable for its sequence-specific incorporation into oligonucleotides by standard automated DNA synthesis. Unfortunately, its usefulness is compromised by the fact that it takes six steps to synthesize in low overa...
