Title: Resistance towards exonucleases of dinucleotides with stereochemically altered internucleotide phosphate bonds.
Authors: Nair V, Pal S.
Abstract: Kinetic constants for the hydrolytic susceptibility of the internucleotide phosphate bond in normal dinucleotides [e.g., 2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'>5')-2'-deoxyuridine (dCpdU) and 2'-deoxyadenylyl-(3'-->5')-2'-deoxycytidine (dApdC)] and isomeric dinucleotides [e.g., 2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'-->5')-1'-deoxy-2'-isouridine (dCpisodU) and 1'-deoxy-2'-isoadenylyl-(3'-->5')-2'-deoxycytidine (isodApdC)], toward 5'- and 3'-exonucleases, phosphodiesterase I (PDE I) and phosphodiesterase II (PDE II) were experimentally determined and remarkable differences emerged. The study is of importance in the discovery of nuclease-stable inhibitors of HIV integrase, but may also have ramifications in the area of anti-sense oligonucleotides of therapeutic interest.
