Xylo-Configured oligonucleotides (XNA) containing a novel conformationally restricted 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-xylofuranosyl nucleotide monomer, a novel conformationally locked 2'-amino-2'-deoxy-2'-N,4'-C-methylene-beta-D-xylofuranosyl nucleotide monomer, and a known 2'-deoxy-beta-D-xylofuranosyl nucleotide monomer (XNA monomers) have been synthesized and their hybridization towards DNA and RNA complements studied. Thermal denaturation studies of nine-mer mixed-base sequences composed of a mixture of XNA monomers and DNA monomers revealed preferential hybridization towards RNA complements relative to DNA complements. For 14-mer homo-thymine XNAs containing thirteen XNA monomers, stable complexes towards single-stranded DNA and RNA were formed at pH 7. Gel-shift experiments revealed these complexes to involve at least two XNA strands per DNA or RNA target strand.
已合成了包含新型构象受限的2'-脱氧-2'-氟-β-D-木糖呋喃糖核苷酸单体、新型构象锁定的2'-氨基-2'-脱氧-2'-N,4'-C-亚甲基-β-D-木糖呋喃糖核苷酸单体以及已知的2'-脱氧-β-D-木糖呋喃糖核苷酸单体(XNA单体)的木糖构型寡核苷酸(XNA),并研究了它们与DNA和RNA互补链的杂交情况。对由XNA单体和DNA单体混合物组成的九聚体混合碱基序列进行的热变性研究表明,相对于DNA互补链,其对RNA互补链具有优先杂交性。对于含有13个XNA单体的14聚体同胸腺嘧啶XNA,在pH 7时可与单链DNA和RNA形成稳定的复合物。凝胶迁移实验表明,这些复合物在每个DNA或RNA靶链中至少涉及两条XNA链。
