リボ核酸 (RNA) の化学的改変は,生命科学における機能的探査機の開発において極めて重要です.
酸化RNAの誘導体は,RNAの折りたたみと相互作用のNMR光譜分析のための貴重なツールです.

研究の目的:

オリゴリボンヌクレオチドを含むピリミジンヌクレオシドの2つの略語{SCF3}を合成する.
これらの新しい改変RNAの構造と塩基配列の性質を包括的に調査する.
2の略称{SCF3} の核酸変異の構造的決定因子と塩基配對の相関を合理化するために.

主な方法:

2つの縮略{SCF3} 改変されたオリゴリボンニュクレオチドの化学合成.
RNAの折りたたみと形状を分析するための核磁気共鳴 (NMR) スペクトロスコーピー.
改変RNAの原子解像度構造の決定のためのX線結晶学.

主要な成果:

2の縮略{SCF3} 改変は,単一鎖の領域では適度な熱力学的安定性を表しますが,二重螺旋の領域では高度に不安定化します.
NMR研究では,単一鎖の2文字略{SCF3} 改変RNAのC2 -endo適合性を強く好むことが明らかになった.
X線構造は,2つのアクロニム{SCF3} の核酸化物がC3のアクロニム{'} -endo構造を複合体で採用することを示しました,これはおそらく結晶の詰め込みによるもので,フッ素原子が密接な接触を形成し,水素結合ネットワークに参加しています.

結論:

2つの核酸化物の固有のC2 -endo構成的偏好は,RNAのダブルヘリクスの顕著な不安定化に起因する.
クリスタル・パッキング・フォースは,固体状態における固有の形状の好みを無効にすることができます.
この研究は,RNAの塩基配列の特性に対するSCF3改変2の構造的効果の合理化を提供します.

Transfer RNA Synthesis

Transfer RNA Synthesis

One of the unique features of tRNA is the presence of modified bases. In some tRNAs, modified bases account for nearly 20% of the total bases in the molecule. Altogether, these unusual bases protect the tRNA from enzymatic degradation by RNases.
Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...

Nucleic Acid Structure

Nucleic Acid Structure

The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

RNA Structure

RNA Structure

The basic structure of RNA consists of a string of ribonucleotides attached by phosphodiester bonds. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.

RNA Stability

RNA Stability

Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...
