A new route for the synthesis of 1-deazaguanine and 1-deazahypoxanthine.

ABSTRACT: Imidazopyridines and pyrrolopyrimidines are an important class of compounds in medicinal chemistry. They can also be considered as deaza-modified purine nucleobases, and as such have attracted a lot of interest recently in the context of RNA atomic mutagenesis. In particular, for 1-deazaguanine (c¹G base), a significant increase in demand is apparent. Synthetic access is challenging and the few reports found in the literature suffer from the requirement of hazardous intermediates and harsh reaction conditions. Here, we report a new six-step synthesis for c¹G base, starting from 6-iodo-1-deazapurine. The key transformations are copper catalyzed C-O-bond formation followed by site-specific nitration. A further strength of our route is divergency, additionally enabling the synthesis of 1-deazahypoxanthine (c¹I base).

Identification of the minimal bacterial 2'-deoxy-7-amido-7-deazaguanine synthesis machinery.

Project description:The 7-deazapurine derivatives, 2'-deoxy-7-cyano-7-deazaguanosine (dPreQ0 ) and 2'-deoxy-7-amido-7-deazaguanosine (dADG) are recently discovered DNA modifications encoded by the dpd cluster found in a diverse set of bacteria. Here we identify the genes required for the formation of dPreQ0 and dADG in DNA and propose a biosynthetic pathway. The preQ0 base is a precursor that in Salmonella Montevideo, is synthesized as an intermediate in the pathway of the tRNA modification queuosine. Of the 11 genes (dpdA - dpdK) found in the S. Montevideo dpd cluster, dpdA and dpdB are necessary and sufficient to synthesize dPreQ0 , while dpdC is additionally required for dADG synthesis. Among the rest of the dpd genes, dpdE, dpdG, dpdI, dpdK, dpdD and possibly dpdJ appear to be involved in a restriction-like phenotype. Indirect competition for preQ0 base led to a model for dADG synthesis in which DpdA inserts preQ0 into DNA with the help of DpdB, and then DpdC hydrolyzes dPreQ0 to dADG. The role of DpdB is not entirely clear as it is dispensable in other dpd clusters. Our discovery of a minimal gene set for introducing 7-deazapurine derivatives in DNA provides new tools for biotechnology applications and demonstrates the interplay between the DNA and RNA modification machineries.

Gold Nanohelices: A New Synthesis Route, Characterization, and Plasmonic E-Field Enhancement.

Project description:Gold nanohelices (AuNHs) are synthesized using surfactant-assisted seed-mediated growth in an aqueous solution. AuNHs with diameters and lengths of 30-150 nm and several micrometers, respectively, are grown in a reaction carried out at 15 °C for 20 h by adding poly(ethylene glycol)(12)tridecyl ether, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the capping agents in an HAuCl4(aq) solution. With the addition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the reaction, the yield of the helical products is considerably increased, which indicates that AuNPs behave as the seeds for AuNH growth. The growth routes of AuNHs in the system are investigated by transmission electron microscopy measurements. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations show that total extinction of the AuNH at 660 and 570 nm is dominantly influenced by strong e-field enhancement and the scattering of light incidence. In a practical application, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements are conducted using AuNHs as the substrates and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid as the probe. A detection limit of 20 ppb is acquired using a micro-Raman spectrometer using a 633 nm He-Ne laser with a power of 3.35 mW which corresponds with the FDTD simulation results and reveals that AuNHs are superior SERS templates with resonance tuning ability in consequence of their unique helical architectures.

Framework Uranyl Silicates: Crystal Chemistry and a New Route for the Synthesis.

Project description:To date, uranyl silicates are mostly represented by minerals in nature. However, their synthetic counterparts can be used as ion exchange materials. A new approach for the synthesis of framework uranyl silicates is reported. The new compounds Rb2[(UO2)2(Si8O19)](H2O)2.5 (1), (K,Rb)2[(UO2)(Si10O22)] (2), [Rb3Cl][(UO2)(Si4O10)] (3) and [Cs3Cl][(UO2)(Si4O10)] (4) were prepared at harsh conditions in "activated" silica tubes at 900 °C. The activation of silica was performed using 40% hydrofluoric acid and lead oxide. Crystal structures of new uranyl silicates were solved by direct methods and refined: 1 is orthorhombic, Cmce, a = 14.5795(2) Å, b = 14.2083(2) Å, c = 23.1412(4) Å, V = 4793.70(13) Å3, R1 = 0.023; 2 is monoclinic, C2/m, a = 23.0027(8) Å, b = 8.0983(3) Å, c = 11.9736(4) Å, β = 90.372(3) °, V = 2230.43(14) Å3, R1 = 0.034; 3 is orthorhombic, Imma, a = 15.2712(12) Å, b = 7.9647(8) Å, c = 12.4607(9) Å, V = 1515.6(2) Å3, R1 = 0.035, 4 is orthorhombic, Imma, a = 15.4148(8) Å, b = 7.9229(4) Å, c = 13.0214(7) Å, V = 1590.30(14) Å3, R1 = 0.020.

A New Solution Route to Hydrogen Terminated Silicon Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Functionalization, and Water Stability.

Project description:Hydrogen capped silicon nanoparticles with strong blue photoluminescence were synthesized by the metathesis reaction of sodium silicide, NaSi, with NH4Br. The hydrogen capped Si nanoparticles were further terminated with octyl groups and then coated with a polymer to render them water soluble. The nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, FT-IR, UV-VIS absorption, and photoluminescence. The Si nanoparticles were shown to have an average diameter of 3.9 ±1.3 nm and exhibited room-temperature photoluminescence with a peak maximum at 438 nm with a quantum efficiency of 32% in hexane and 18% in water; the emission was stable in ambient air for up to 2 months. These nanoparticles could hold great potential as a non-heavy element containing quantum dot for applications in biology.

New Synthesis Route for Complex Borides; Rapid Synthesis of Thermoelectric Yttrium Aluminoboride via Liquid-Phase Assisted Reactive Spark Plasma Sintering.

Project description:YxAlyB14 ceramics are of high interest as high temperature thermoelectric materials with excellent p, n control. In this study, direct synthesis of dense polycrystalline YxAlyB14 (x ~0.64, 0.52 ≤ y ≤ 0.67) ceramics was successfully carried out by spark plasma sintering using commercially available precursors. YB4, AlB2 and B powders were reactively sintered with an additive AlF3 at 1773 K for 5-60 min in reduced Ar atmosphere. The sinterability was remarkably enhanced by liquid phase sintering comparing to conventional synthesis techniques. Phase composition analysis by X-ray diffraction showed that main peaks belong to YxAlyB14 with the MgAlB14 structure type and no peaks of AlF3 were detected. The thermoelectric behavior was changed from p-type to n-type with increasing Al occupancy. Power factor and ZT values measured in this study were found to be in the same range as the best values previously reported. This original synthesis process is found to be less precursor-consuming as compared to previous synthesis processes, and strikingly, less time-consuming, as the synthesis time, is shortened from 8 h to 5 min for p-type and to 1 h for n-type. The total process time is shortened from ≥3 days to ~4-5 h. This discovery opens the door for more accessible synthesis of complex borides.

New route for hollow materials.

Project description:Hollow micro/nano structures form an important family of functional materials. We have used the thermal oxidation process combined with the passage of electric current during a structural phase transition to disclose a colossal mass diffusion transfer of Ti ions. This combination points to a new route for fabrication of hollow materials. A structural phase transition at high temperature prepares the stage by giving mobility to Ti ions and releasing vacancies to the system. The electric current then drives an inward delocalization of vacancies, condensing into voids, and finally turning into a big hollow. This strong physical phenomenon leading to a colossal mass transfer through ionic diffusion is suggested to be driven by a combination of phase transition and electrical current followed by chemical reaction. We show this phenomenon for Ti leading to TiO2 microtube formation, but we believe that it can be used to other metals undergoing structural phase transition at high temperatures.

A New Enterobacter cloacae Bacteriophage EC151 Encodes the Deazaguanine DNA Modification Pathway and Represents a New Genus within the Siphoviridae Family.

Project description:A novel Enterobacter cloacae phage, EC151, was isolated and characterized. Electron microscopy revealed that EC151 has a siphovirus-like virion morphology. The EC151 nucleotide sequence shows limited similarity to other phage genomes deposited in the NCBI GenBank database. The size of the EC151 genome is 60,753 bp and contains 58 putative genes. Thirty-nine of them encode proteins of predicted function, 18 are defined as hypothetical proteins, and one ORF identifies as the tRNA-Ser-GCT-encoding gene. Six ORFs were predicted to be members of the deazaguanine DNA modification pathway, including the preQ0 transporter. Comparative proteomic phylogenetic analysis revealed that phage EC151 represents a distinct branch within a group of sequences containing clades formed by members of the Seuratvirus, Nonagvirus, and Vidquintavirus genera. In addition, the EC151 genome showed gene synteny typical of the Seuratvirus, Nonagvirus, and Nipunavirus phages. The average genetic distances of EC151/Seuratvirus, EC151/Nonagvirus, and EC151/Vidquintavirus are approximately equal to those between the Seuratvirus, Nonagvirus, and Vidquintavirus genera (~0.7 substitutions per site). Therefore, EC151 may represent a novel genus within the Siphoviridae family. The origin of the deazaguanine DNA modification pathway in the EC151 genome can be traced to Escherichia phages from the Seuratvirus genus.

Bypass of DNA-Protein Cross-links Conjugated to the 7-Deazaguanine Position of DNA by Translesion Synthesis Polymerases.

Project description:DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are bulky DNA lesions that form both endogenously and following exposure to bis-electrophiles such as common antitumor agents. The structural and biological consequences of DPCs have not been fully elucidated due to the complexity of these adducts. The most common site of DPC formation in DNA following treatment with bis-electrophiles such as nitrogen mustards and cisplatin is the N7 position of guanine, but the resulting conjugates are hydrolytically labile and thus are not suitable for structural and biological studies. In this report, hydrolytically stable structural mimics of N7-guanine-conjugated DPCs were generated by reductive amination reactions between the Lys and Arg side chains of proteins/peptides and aldehyde groups linked to 7-deazaguanine residues in DNA. These model DPCs were subjected to in vitro replication in the presence of human translesion synthesis DNA polymerases. DPCs containing full-length proteins (11-28 kDa) or a 23-mer peptide blocked human polymerases η and κ. DPC conjugates to a 10-mer peptide were bypassed with nucleotide insertion efficiency 50-100-fold lower than for native G. Both human polymerase (hPol) κ and hPol η inserted the correct base (C) opposite the 10-mer peptide cross-link, although small amounts of T were added by hPol η. Molecular dynamics simulation of an hPol κ ternary complex containing a template-primer DNA with dCTP opposite the 10-mer peptide DPC revealed that this bulky lesion can be accommodated in the polymerase active site by aligning with the major groove of the adducted DNA within the ternary complex of polymerase and dCTP.
