The 5'-terminal structures of mRNA bearing the so-called 'cap' from cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV), m7G5' pppAmpG and m7G5' pppAmpGpU, were first chemically synthesized. S,S-Di(4-methoxyphenyl) N6-benzoyl-2'-O-methyladenosine 5'-phosphorodithioate ((ArS) 2pAbmz) was prepared by phosphorylation of the 5'-hydroxyl group of N6-benzoyl-2'-O-methyladenosine with S,S-di(4-methoxyphenyl) phosphorodithioate by TPS. By the triester approach using (ArS) 2pAbmz as starting material, the protected dinucleotide and trinucleotide bearing 5'-phosphate group were synthesized. The protective groups of the dinucleotide and trinucleotide were removed to obtain pAmpG and pAmpGpU, respectively. By the reaction of a capping agent ((PhS) ppm7G) with pAmpG and pAmpGpU in the presence of silver nitrate or iodine. The 5'-terminal structure of the messenger RNA strand of CPV which was labelled isotopically, was confirmed completely as m7G5' pppAmGpU by cochromatography with the materials chemically synthesized here.
首次化学合成了来自细胞质多角体病毒(CPV)的带有所谓“帽”结构的mRNA的5'-末端结构,即m7G5' pppAmpG和m7G5' pppAmpGpU。通过硫代磷酸三苯酯(TPS)用S,S-二(4-甲氧基苯基)硫代磷酸酯对N6-苯甲酰基-2'-O-甲基腺苷的5'-羟基进行磷酸化反应,制备了S,S-二(4-甲氧基苯基)N6-苯甲酰基-2'-O-甲基腺苷5'-硫代磷酸酯((ArS)2pAbmz)。以(ArS)2pAbmz为起始原料,采用三酯法合成了带有5'-磷酸基团的保护型二核苷酸和三核苷酸。分别除去二核苷酸和三核苷酸的保护基团,得到pAmpG和pAmpGpU。通过封端剂((PhS)ppm7G)与pAmpG和pAmpGpU在硝酸银或碘存在下反应。通过与这里化学合成的物质进行共色谱分析,完全证实了经同位素标记的CPV信使RNA链的5'-末端结构为m7G5' pppAmGpU。
