7-Methylguanosine (m(7)G) nucleotides labelled with acetylpyrene (AcPy) were synthesized as fluorescent mRNA 5' end (cap) analogues. The unique fluorescent properties of m(7)G-AcPy conjugates, different from G-AcPy, can be applied to studying various mRNA cap-related processes including the evaluation of putative inhibitors of DcpS enzyme-a therapeutic target in neuromuscular diseases.
用乙酰芘(AcPy)标记的7-甲基鸟苷(m(7)G)核苷酸被合成为荧光mRNA 5'端(帽)类似物。m(7)G-AcPy缀合物独特的荧光特性不同于G-AcPy,可用于研究各种与mRNA帽相关的过程,包括评估DcpS酶的潜在抑制剂——一种神经肌肉疾病的治疗靶点。
