Abstract
Nucleoside 5'-triphosphate (dNTP) analogues in which the β,γ-oxygen is mimicked by a CXY group (β,γ-CXY-dNTPs) have provided information about DNA polymerase catalysis and fidelity. Definition of CXY stereochemistry is important to elucidate precise binding modes. We previously reported the (R)- and (S)-β,γ-CHX-dGTP diastereomers (X = F, Cl), prepared via P,C-dimorpholinamide CHCl (6a, 6b) and CHF (7a, 7b) bisphosphonates (BPs) equipped with an (R)-mandelic acid as a chiral auxiliary, with final deprotection using H2/Pd. This method also affords the β,γ-CHCl-dTTP (11a, 11b), β,γ-CHF (12a, 12b), and β,γ-CHCl (13a, 13b) dATP diastereomers as documented here, but the reductive deprotection step is not compatible with dCTP or the bromo substituent in β,γ-CHBr-dNTP analogues. To complete assembly of the toolkit, we describe an alternative synthetic strategy featuring ethylbenzylamine or phenylglycine-derived chiral BP synthons incorporating a photolabile protecting group. After acid-catalyzed removal of the (R)-(+)-α-ethylbenzylamine auxiliary, coupling with activated dCMP and photochemical deprotection, the individual diastereomers of β,γ-CHBr- (33a, 33b), β,γ-CHCl- (34a, 34b), β,γ-CHF-dCTP (35a, 35b) were obtained. The β,γ-CH(CH3)-dATPs (44a, 44b) were obtained using a methyl (R)-(-)-phenylglycinate auxiliary. 31P and 19F NMR Δδ values are correlated with CXY stereochemistry and pKa2-4 values for 13 CXY-bisphosphonic acids and imidodiphosphonic acid are tabulated.

Functional interplay between NTP leaving group and base pair recognition during RNA polymerase II nucleotide incorporation revealed by methylene substitution. Nucleic Acids Res 2016; 44:3820-8.

Abstract
RNA polymerase II (pol II) utilizes a complex interaction network to select and incorporate correct nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) substrates with high efficiency and fidelity. Our previous 'synthetic nucleic acid substitution' strategy has been successfully applied in dissecting the function of nucleic acid moieties in pol II transcription. However, how the triphosphate moiety of substrate influences the rate of P-O bond cleavage and formation during nucleotide incorporation is still unclear. Here, by employing β,γ-bridging atom-'substituted' NTPs, we elucidate how the methylene substitution in the pyrophosphate leaving group affects cognate and non-cognate nucleotide incorporation. Intriguingly, the effect of the β,γ-methylene substitution on the non-cognate UTP/dT scaffold (∼3-fold decrease in kpol) is significantly different from that of the cognate ATP/dT scaffold (∼130-fold decrease in kpol). Removal of the wobble hydrogen bonds in U:dT recovers a strong response to methylene substitution of UTP. Our kinetic and modeling studies are consistent with a unique altered transition state for bond formation and cleavage for UTP/dT incorporation compared with ATP/dT incorporation. Collectively, our data reveals the functional interplay between NTP triphosphate moiety and base pair hydrogen bonding recognition during nucleotide incorporation.

Abstract
The first preparation of the individual β,γ-CHF-ATP stereoisomers 12a and 12b is reported. Configurationally differing solely by the orientation of the C-F fluorine, 12a and 12b have discrete (31)P (202 MHz, pH 10.9, ΔδPα 6 Hz, ΔδPβ 4 Hz) and (19)F NMR (470 MHz, pH 9.8, ΔδF 25 Hz) spectral signatures and exhibit a 6-fold difference in IC50 values for c-Src kinase, attributed to a unique interaction of the (S)-fluorine of bound 12b with R388 in the active site.
