RESUMO
The reaction of the tetranucleotide, pA-A2-A, with 2′(3′)-0-(α-methoxyethyl)uridine 5′-diphosphate, Mg2+ ions, and M. luteus polynucleotide phosphorylase followed by mild acid treatment to remove the blocking groups results in a 49% yield of the desired single addition product, pA-A3-U, together with smaller amounts of pA-A-U, pA-A-A, pA-A2-U, pA-A2-A, pA-A3-A, pA-A4-U, and pA-A4-A. The side products are thought to arise from the phosphorolysis of the acceptor molecule by the inorganic phosphate formed in the reaction mixture and from subsequent additions to the various oligonucleotide species by the resulting adenosine 5′-diphosphate. A system developed for the removal of inorganic phosphate as it is formed in the synthesis involves the addition to the reaction mixture of calf spleen nucleoside phosphorylase and nicotinamide riboside and, under these conditions, pA-A3-U can be prepared in 90% yield with essentially no side products. Under similar conditions, pA-A3-A, pA-A3-G, and pA-A3-C may be prepared from pA-A2-A and the appropriate blocked nucleoside diphosphate in yields of 85-94%. The incubation of pA-A2-A alone with polynucleotide phosphorylase exhibits the phenomenon of “transnucleotidation” in that the molecule is partially converted to oligonucleotides of smaller and larger chain lengths. In the presence of the phosphate removal system, however, the tetranucleotide is not attacked by the enzyme, and thus, “transnucleotidation” appears to be simply a combination of phosphorolytic and addition reactions catalyzed by trace amounts of inorganic phosphate contaminating the enzyme and/or the substrate.
