Nucleic acids that store and transfer biological information are polymeric diesters of phosphoric acid. Cleavage of the phosphodiester linkages by protein enzymes, nucleases, is one of the underlying biological processes. The remarkable catalytic efficiency of nucleases, together with the ability of ribonucleic acids to serve sometimes as nucleases, has made the cleavage of phosphodiesters a subject of intensive mechanistic studies. In addition to studies of nucleases by pH-rate dependency, X-ray crystallography, amino acid/nucleotide substitution and computational approaches, experimental and theoretical studies with small molecular model compounds still play a role. With small molecules, the importance of various elementary processes, such as proton transfer and metal ion binding, for stabilization of transition states may be elucidated and systematic variation of the basicity of the entering or departing nucleophile enables determination of the position of the transition state on the reaction coordinate. Such data is important on analyzing enzyme mechanisms based on synergistic participation of several catalytic entities. Many nucleases are metalloenzymes and small molecular models offer an excellent tool to construct models for their catalytic centers. The present review tends to be an up to date summary of what has been achieved by mechanistic studies with small molecular phosphodiesters.

Covalently Mercurated Molecular Beacon for Discriminating the Canonical Nucleobases

Asmo Aro-Heinila, Tuomas Lonnberg, Pasi Virta

Summary: By incorporating a highly nucleobase-discriminating metalated nucleoside analogue into an oligonucleotide molecular beacon, clear binding selectivity was achieved at room temperature, with a preference order of G>T>C>A. This method allows for robust discrimination between different nucleobases and is suitable for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Cleavage of an RNA Model Compound by an Arylmercury Complex

Lange Yakubu Saleh, Mikko Ora, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: A water-soluble arylmercury complex has been synthesized and its ability to catalyze the cleavage of the phosphodiester linkage of the RNA model compound has been evaluated. The catalytic reaction is linearly dependent on catalyst concentration and shows relatively low affinity for the substrate.

Organomercury Nucleic Acids: Past, Present and Future

Dattatraya Ukale, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: This review summarizes the synthetic efforts towards nucleosides, nucleotides, oligonucleotides, and nucleic acids covalently mercurated at their base moieties, as well as discusses the proposed, realized, and abandoned applications of such compounds. Emphasis is placed on ongoing research areas, particularly the use of Hg-II-mediated base pairing to enhance the hybridization properties of oligonucleotide probes. The review also aims to anticipate potential future applications of organomercury nucleic acids.

Summary: The study investigated the alkaline cleavage of sugar nucleotides using H-1 and P-31 NMR, revealing the complex reaction systems and significant effects of conditions on reactivity. The results were consistent with proposed mechanisms, despite the inability to identify individual intermediate species.

Sequence dependence of Pd(II)-mediated base pairing by palladacyclic nucleobase surrogates

Madhuri Hande, Sajal Maity, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: The study investigated the effects of alkylpyridine C-nucleoside derivatives or respective palladacycles on short oligodeoxynucleotides, revealing a decrease in duplex stability upon palladation. Competition experiments showed a more pronounced impact at the 3' terminus compared to the 5' terminus. The dependence of UV melting temperature on the identity of canonical nucleobases opposite to modified nucleobases was more significant in the palladacyclic duplexes.

2-Trifluoromethyl-6-mercurianiline Nucleotide, a Sensitive 19F NMR Probe for Hg(II)-mediated Base Pairing

Asmo Aro-Heinila, Assi Lepisto, Antti Aarela, Tuomas Antti Lonnberg, Pasi Virta

Summary: A novel organomercury nucleobase analogue was synthesized and incorporated into an oligonucleotide, followed by mercuration. The affinity of the organomercury nucleobase analogue towards complementary strands was studied using UV, CD, and F-19 NMR spectroscopy, revealing distinct affinities for different canonical nucleobases. Results showed that the F-19 resonance signal was sensitive to local environmental changes, providing valuable information on the binding of the mercurated oligonucleotide to complementary strands at varying temperatures.

Improved Synthesis Strategy for N-Methoxy-1,3-oxazinane Nucleic Acids (MOANAs)

Josefiina Wallin, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: The dependence of the hydrolysis rate of a series of N-methoxy-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazinanes on the Hammett substituent constant of the substituent of the phenyl ring was determined. Based on this information, 4-(benzoyloxy)benzaldehyde was selected as a protecting group for a new (2R,3S)-4-(methoxyamino)butane-1,2,3-triol phosphoramidite building block. The yield of the preparation of this building block as well as its coupling in automated oligonucleotide synthesis were greatly improved compared to the method reported previously.

Oligonucleotides Featuring a Covalently Mercurated 6-Phenylcarbazole Residue as High-Affinity Hybridization Probes for Thiopyrimidine-Containing Sequences

Tharun K. Kotammagari, Petri Tahtinen, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: Short oligonucleotides containing organometallic moieties were synthesized and studied as hybridization probes for sequences containing thiopyrimidine nucleobases. They showed stable duplex formation with 4-thiothymine and were able to discriminate between 2- and 4-thiothymine based on the melting temperature. The DFT-optimized structures revealed the coordination and bonding patterns between Hg-II ions and sulfur or oxygen substituents.

Still Elusive - Pd(II)-Mediated Base Pairing by an Acetophenone Oxime Palladacycle within 15N-Labelled Double-Helical Oligonucleotides

Maaret Toiviala, Vesa Kleemola, Sajal Maity, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: Both alpha and beta anomers of an acetophenone C-nucleoside were synthesized and incorporated in the middle of short oligodeoxynucleotides. The ketone oligonucleotides were converted to N-15-labelled oxime oligonucleotides and cyclopalladated. Comparison of the UV melting profiles suggested formation of a stable Pd(II)-mediated base pair with adenine or thymine as the base pairing partner. The N-15 NMR spectra indicated successful labeling, but the signals diminished below detection limit when hybridized with a complementary strand in a specific configuration.

5′-Chalcogen-Substituted Nucleoside Pyrophosphate and Phosphate Monoester Analogues: Preparation and Hydrolysis Studies

Satu Mikkola, Olga Eguaogie, Anu Nieminen, Patrick F. Conlon, David L. Jakeman, Keith Moore, Ian C. Lane, Joseph S. Vyle

Summary: In this study, novel sulfur and selenium substituted dinucleoside pyrophosphate analogues were prepared using a vibration ball mill and their chemical hydrolysis reactions were investigated. The results showed that the chalcogeno-substitution had a modest effect on the reactivity of dinucleoside pyrophosphates and exhibited promising chemical stability. The hydrolytic desilylation of precursor phosphorochalcogenolate monoesters was also studied and the rate of dephosphorylation depended on the nature of the chalcogen and the pH.

Organomercury oligonucleotide conjugates as artificial ribonucleases

Lange Yakubu Saleh, Mikko Ora, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: Two oligonucleotide conjugates were synthesized with different 5'-terminal organometallic moieties through direct mercuration or oximation. These conjugates exhibited higher catalytic activity as artificial ribonucleases compared to metal-free counterparts and previously reported small molecule organomercury RNA cleaving agent. However, the activity was modest compared to state-of-the-art metal-dependent artificial ribonucleases.

Mark N. K. Afari, Pasi Virta, Tuomas Lonnberg

Summary: In this study, (2R,3S)-4-(methoxyamino)butane-1,2,3-triol was converted into a protected phosphoramidite building block and incorporated into short DNA oligonucleotides, replacing the furanose ring with an oxazinane ring through reaction with aldehydes. This approach demonstrated the feasibility of synthesizing base-modified oligonucleotides using aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with various functional groups.
