Synthesis and studies on the effect of 2-thiouridine and 4-thiouridine on sugar conformation and RNA duplex stability
Open accessAbstract
In order to understand the effect of 2-thiouridine (s2U) substitution on RNA structure and the potential for stabilization of tRNA codon-anticodon interactions through s2U-34 modification, a pentamer RNA sequence, Gs2UUUC, was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The single strand contains the UUU anticodon sequence of tRNALys with flanking GCs to increase duplex stability. Regiochemical effects of uridine thiolation were determined by comparing the structure and stability of the 2-thiouridine containing oligonucleotide with an identical sequence containing 4-thiouridine (s4U) and also the normal uridine nucleoside. Circular dichroism spectrum indicated an A-form helical conformation for Gs2UUUC which was further confirmed by 2D ROESY NMR experiments. The duplex stability of the three pentamers complexed with a 2'-O-methyl-ribonucleotide complementary strand, GmAmAmAmCm, was determined by UV thermal melting studies and by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The duplex containing s2U has a T m of 30.7 degrees C compared to 19. 0 degrees C for the unmodified control and 14.5 degrees C for the s4U containing duplex. The results from UV experiments were corroborated by imino proton NMR studies that show proton exchange rates, chemical shift differences, and NH proton linewidths indicative of the stability order s2U >U >s4U. The magnitude of the effect of s2U in our model system is comparable to the 20 degrees C stabilization observed by Grosjean and co-workers for 2-thiolation in a codon-anticodon model system composed of two tRNAs with complementary anticodon sequences [Houssier, C., Degee, P., Nicoghosian, K. and Grosjean, H. (1988) J. Biomol. Struct. Dyn., 5, 1259-1266].

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
