Abstract
Two novel bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN) linker derivatives, which can be directly incorporated into oligonucleotide sequences during standard automated solid-phase synthesis, are reported. Stabilities of BCN-carbinol and two BCN-oligonucleotides are evaluated under acidic conditions. In addition, derivatized BCN linkers (non-acidic and acid treated) are evaluated for strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC).

Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2023:130400. [PMID: 37301333 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2023.130400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Recent findings have substantially broadened our knowledge about the diversity of modifications of the 5'end of RNAs, an issue generally attributed to mRNA cap structure (m7GpppN). Nudt12 is one of the recently described new enzymatic activities involved in cap metabolism. However, in contrast to its roles in metabolite-cap turnover (e.g., NAD-cap) and NADH/NAD metabolite hydrolysis, little is known regarding its hydrolytic activity towards dinucleotide cap structures. In order to gain further insight into this Nudt12 activity, comprehensive analysis with a spectrum of cap-like dinucleotides was performed with respect to different nucleotide types adjacent to the (m7)G moiety and its methylation status. Among the tested compounds, GpppA, GpppAm, and Gpppm6Am were identified as novel potent Nudt12 substrates, with KM values in the same range as that of NADH. Interestingly, substrate inhibition of Nudt12 catalytic activity was detected in the case of the GpppG dinucleotide, a phenomenon not reported to date. Finally, comparison of Nudt12 with DcpS and Nud16, two other enzymes with known activity on dinucleotide cap structures, revealed their overlapping and more specific substrates. Altogether, these findings provide a basis for clarifying the role of Nudt12 in cap-like dinucleotide turnover.

Abstract
An efficient method for attachment of a variety of reporter groups to oligonucleotides (ONs) is copper (I) [Cu(I)]-catalyzed Huisgen azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click reaction"). However, in the case of ONs with phosphorothioate modifications as internucleosidic linkages (PS-ONs), this conjugation method has to be adjusted to be compatible with the sulfur-containing groups. The method described here is adapted for PS-ONs, utilizes solid-supported ONs, and implements the Cu(I) bromide dimethyl sulfide complex (CuBr × Me2 S) as a mediator for the click reaction. The solid-supported ONs can be readily transformed into "clickable ONs" by on-line addition of an alkyne-containing linker that subsequently can react with an azido-containing moiety (e.g., a peptide) in the presence of CuBr × Me2 S. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
In vivo bioavailability and delivery of nucleic acids to the site of action is a severe limitation in oligonucleotide (ON) therapeutics. Equipping the ONs with cell penetrating, homing or endosomal escape peptides can enhance specificity and/or uptake efficiencies. We describe here a general procedure for the preparation of peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates (POCs) on solid support utilizing a novel activated alkyne containing linker which enhances the Cu(I) catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Conjugation reaction is efficient in millimolar concentration and submicromolar amounts at ambient temperature. The route for POC preparation involves two subsequent conjugation steps: to solid-supported ONs containing a 5'-amino modifier (1) the triple bond donor (p-(N-propynoylamino)toluic acid (PATA), p-([2-(propynyloxy)acetamido]methyl)benzoic acid (PAMBA) or 2-(propynyloxy)acetic acid (PAA)) is first coupled and then (2) an azido-functionalized peptide is attached via a triazole linkage by copper(I) catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The fragment-conjugated POC is released from the solid support by concentrated ammonia. The method gives high conversion of ON to the POC and only involves a single purification step after complete assembly and release from the solid support. The synthesis is flexible and designed to utilize commercially available oligonucleotide and peptide derivatives without the need for specific automated synthesizers.

Abstract
Improving oligonucleotide delivery is critical for the further development of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics. Covalent attachment of reporter molecules is one of the most promising approaches toward efficient oligonucleotide-based therapies. An efficient methods for the attachment of a variety of reporter groups is Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. However, the majority of potential oligonucleotide (ON) therapeutics in clinical trials are carrying phosphorothioate (PS) linkages, and this robust conjugation method is not yet established for these ONs due to a general concern of Cu-S interaction. Here, we developed a method allowing for efficient conjugation of peptides to PS oligonucleotides. The method utilizes solid supported oligonucleotides that can be readily transformed into "clickable ONs" by simple linker conjugation and further reacted with an azido containing moiety (e.g., a peptide) using the CuBr × Me2S complex as a superior catalyst in that reaction. This study opens the way for further development of PS oligonucleotide-conjugates by means of efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.

Abstract
The cap is a natural modification present at the 5' ends of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA), which because of its unique structural features, mediates essential biological functions during the process of gene expression. The core structural feature of the mRNA cap is an N7-methylguanosine moiety linked by a 5'-5' triphosphate chain to the first transcribed nucleotide. Interestingly, other RNA 5' end modifications structurally and functionally resembling the m7G cap have been discovered in different RNA types and in different organisms. All these structures contain the 'inverted' 5'-5' oligophosphate bridge, which is necessary for interaction with specific proteins and also serves as a cleavage site for phosphohydrolases regulating RNA turnover. Therefore, cap analogs containing oligophosphate chain modifications or carrying spectroscopic labels attached to phosphate moieties serve as attractive molecular tools for studies on RNA metabolism and modification of natural RNA properties. Here, we review chemical, enzymatic, and chemoenzymatic approaches that enable preparation of modified cap structures and RNAs carrying such structures, with emphasis on phosphate-modified mRNA cap analogs and their potential applications.

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of multiply functionalized oligonucleotides (ONs) utilizing a novel H-phosphonate alkyne-based linker for multiple functionalization (LMF) is developed. The strategy allows for the conjugation of various active entities to oligonucleotide through the postsynthetic attachment of LMF at the 5'-terminus of ONs using H-phosphonate chemistry followed by conjugation of various entities via [3 + 2] copper(I) catalyzed cycloaddition in a stepwise manner. Each cycle is composed of attachment of the LMF followed by a click reaction with azido-containing units. Sequential solid-phase synthesis of oligonucleotide conjugates containing three attached entities was performed using an acetylated form of MIF peptide conjugated to azido linker, achieving high conversions at each unit addition. In addition, to show the versatility of the method, oligonucleotide conjugates with several different classes of compounds were synthesized. Each conjugate containing three different entities, whose structure and function varied (e.g., sugars, peptides, fluorescent labels, and m3G-Caps).
