Abstract

This paper reports syntheses electronic absorbance and emission spectra, and emission kinetics results for two types of pyrene-substituted uridine nucleosides as part of an ongoing study which is examining the photophysical and photochemical behaviors of these same nucleosides embedded in DNA oligomers and duplexes with varying base-sequence composition. The two labels are 1-pyrenyl itself and 1-carboxypyrenyl (1-pyrenoyl) which are each joined direcrly to the 5-position of 2`-deoxyuridine (dCT). These direct attachments significantly restrict the range of conformations available to the pyrene label when it is attached to a DNA oligomer or duplex. {pi},{pi}{sup *} emission is absent for 5-(1-pyrenyl)-dU, 1, in methanol (MeOH) but present in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The steady-state emission spectrum of 1 in MeOH shows that emission from the few long-lived {pi},{pi}{sup *} states is dominated at all wavelengths by the 0.9-ns lived CT emission. In contrast, only {pi},{pi}{sup *} emission is observed for 5-(1-pyrenoyl)-dU, 2, in both MeOH and THF with emission quantum yields of 0.002 and 0.028, respectively. The spectral and emission kinetics data for nucleosides 1 and 2 support the conclusions that each has multiple conformers in solution and that the relative orientation of the pyrene and uridine {pi}-systems plays a crucial role in determiningmore »« less

Direct observation of photoinduced electron transfer in pyrene-labeled dU nucleosides and evidence for protonated 2`-deoxyuridine anion, dU(H){sup .}, as a primary electron transfer product

Journal Article Netzel, T L ; Nafisi, K ; Headrick, J ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry

This paper examines the electron transfer (ET) photophysics of two pyrene-labeled nucleosides, 5-(1-carboxypyrenyl)-2`-deoxyuridine (1) and 5-(1-pyrenyl)-2`-deoxyuridine (2) by a variety of spectroscopies in several different solvents. For 1 in methanol (MeOH), a maximal change-in-absorbance ({Delta}A) increase at 460 nm characteristic of pyrene{sup .+} occurs during the time of photoexcitation (>=30 ps). These results prove that the S{sub 1} state Of pyrene is quenched due to intramolecular ET. Similar results are also obtained for 1 in acetonitrile (MeCN) where the pyrene{sup .+} absorbance at 460 nm decays in ca. 100 ps. For 1 and 2, changing solvent from MeOH to MeCNmore »« less

Base-sequence dependence of emission lifetimes for DNA oligomers and duplexes covalently labeled with pyrene: Relative electron-transfer quenching efficiencies of A, G, C, and T nucleosides toward pyrene

Journal Article Manoharan, M ; Tivel, K L ; Zhao, M ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry

This paper reports both continuous and time-resolved spectroscopic studies of the emission properties of photoexcited pyrene labels covalently attached to uridine nucleosides and oligonucleotides. For all nucleic acid systems, uridine is substituted with pyrene at the 2`-oxygen position, 2`-O-[hexyl-N-(1-pyrenepropylcarbonyl)amino]uridine, U(12){sup *} . Three types of nucleic nucleic acid systems are investigated: the 5`-OH (1) and the 5`-ODMT (2) substituted U(12){sup *}-nucleosides; four pentameric oligonucleotides, X{sub 2}U(12){sup *}X{sub 2}, where X is 2`-deoxyadenosine (A), 2`-deoxyguanosine (G), 2`-deoxythymidine (T), or 2`-deoxycytidine (C); and four duplexes with 18 base pairs each containing one strand with a central U(12){sup *} label.

Solution conformation of the (-)-cis-anti-benzo[a]-pyrenyl-dG adduct opposite dC in a DNA duplex: Intercalation of the covalently attached BP ring into the helix with base displacement of the modified deoxyguanosine into the major groove

Journal Article Cosman, M ; Patel, D J ; Hingerty, B E - Biochemistry (Eaton)

This paper reports on the combined NMR-molecular mechanics computational studies of the solution structure of the (-)-cis-anti-[BP]dG adduct positioned opposite dC in the sequence context d(C1-C2-A3-T4-C5-[BP]G6-C7-T8-A9-C10-C11){center_dot}d(G12-G13-T14-A15-G16-C17-G18-A19-T20-G21-G22) duplex [designated (-)-cis-anti-[BP]dG{center_dot}dC 11-mer duplex]. This adduct is derived from cis addition at C{sup 10} of (-)-anti-7(S),8(R)-dihydroxy-9(R), 10(S)-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene[(-)-anti-BPDE] to the N{sup 2} position of dG6 in this duplex sequence. The exchangeable and nonexchangeable protons of the benzo[a]pyrenyl moiety and nucleic acid of the major conformation were assigned following analysis of two-dimensional NMR data sets in H{sub 2}O and D{sub 2}O solution.

An exploration of sequence specific DNA-duplex/pyrene interactions for intercalated and surface-associated pyrene species. Final report, May 1, 1993--December 31, 1996

Technical Report Netzel, T L

The broad objective of this DOE sponsored work on photoinduced electron transfer (ET) within covalently modified DNA was to learn about the rates of Et among various DNA bases and commonly used organic electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules. This hypothesis driven, multidisciplinary project combined skills in modified nucleic acid synthesis and in continuous and time-resolved optical spectroscopies. Covalently modified DNA chemistry as investigated in this program had two specific long term goals. The first was to use experimental and theoretical insights into the mechanisms of electron transfer (ET) reactions to design supramolecular assemblies of redox-active chromophores that functionmore »« less

An exploration of sequence specific DNA-duplex/pyrene interactions for intercalated and surface-associated pyrene species. Technical progress report

Technical Report Netzel, T L

The use of both short (5-atom) and long (12-atom) covalent linking chains to attach, respectively, a pyrenesulfonate or a pyrenebutyrate moiety to a central region of a DNA duplex allows construction of DNA-duplex/pyrene assemblies of two types. Long linking chains permit pyrene to intercalate within the DNA duplex, while the short chains constrain pyrene to remain in the outer-surface region of the major-groove of the duplex. Electrochemical data suggest that reductive electron-transfer (ET) quenching of photoexcited pyrene (pyrene*) labels will be most exothermic for guanosine than for the other three DNA nucleosides and that oxidative ET quenching of pyrene* willmore »« less
