Antisense L/D-oligodeoxynucleotide chimeras: nuclease stability, base-pairing properties, and activity at directing ribonuclease H.

Abstract:

:Ultraviolet thermal denaturation studies substantiate our earlier hypothesis that substitution of a L-nucleotide residue for a D-nucleotide within a DNA duplex permits a stable structure in which all bases are paired through Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds (Damha, M. J., Giannaris, P. A., Marfey, P., & Reid, L. S. (1991) Tetrahedron Lett. 32, 2573-2576). This conclusion is also evident from the NMR work of Blommers et al. [Blommers, M. J. J., et al. (1994) Biochemistry (following paper in this issue)]. Our thermal denaturation studies indicate that, while weakening the interaction with target DNA and RNA, these substitutions allow for excellent cooperative binding. When the target is single-stranded DNA, the melting temperature of the complex is lowered by 4-5 degrees C per L-dU incorporation and by 0.4-2.6 degrees C when an internal D-dC is replaced by L-dC (1 M NaCl). When the target is RNA, the depression of Tm is also greater for L-dU substitutions (5-8 degrees C) than for L-dC substitutions (2-4 degrees C). The depressions of Tm caused by introducing A/C and G/T mismatches at the same positions were significantly greater. L/D-DNA chimeras were found to activate RNase H cleavage when hybridized to RNA. Furthermore, the stability of chimeric L/D-DNA against degradation by various commercial phosphodiesterases was found to be significant, as was their stability against digestion in human serum. These experiments establish that L/D-DNA chimeras serve as excellent models of antisense oligonucleotides.
