1. 1. Conformationally Constrained Nucleosides : Design, Synthesis, and Biochemical Evaluation of Modified Antisense Oligonucleotides

   Författare :Oommen P. Varghese; Lars Engman; Jacek Stawinski; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; chemically modified oligonucleotides; azetidine; aza-ENA-T; cyanomethylene locked; free energy of activation; diaxial interactions; chair conformation; stable duplex; human serum; snake venom phosphodiesterase; antisense agents; RNase H; Organisk kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with synthesis, structure and biochemical analysis of chemically modified oligonucleotides with potential therapeutic applications. The three types of chemical modifications described here are: (a) A North-East locked 1',2'-azetidine nucleoside (b) A North locked 2',4'-cyanomethylene bridged nucleoside and (c) A 2',4'-aza-ENA-T nucleoside.

3. 2. Formation of Thiolated Nucleosides in tRNA in Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium

   Författare :Hans Lundgren; Glenn Björk; Charles Lauhon; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; : tRNA; modified nucleosides; thiolation; sulfur metabolism; Salmonella; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : The presence and synthesis of transfer RNA (tRNA) is highly conserved in all organisms and a lot of genetic material is dedicated to its synthesis. tRNA contains a large number of modified nucleosides and several diverse functions have been found but much about their function is still unknown.

4. 3. Functional aspects of modified nucleosides in tRNA

   Författare :Hao Xu; Anders S. Byström; Damien Hermand; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tRNA modification; frameshifting; Elongator complex; Elp1p; Prb1p; proteolysis; glioma; TRM6 61; PKCα;

   Sammanfattning : Transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs) are extensively modified, especially their anticodon loops. Modifications at position 34 (wobble base) and 37 in these loops affect the tRNAs’ decoding ability, while modifications outside the anticodon loops, e.g. m1A58 of tRNAMeti, may be crucial for tRNA structure or stability.

5. 4. Conformationally Constrained Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Oligonucleotides : Design, Synthesis and Properties

   Författare :Dmytro Honcharenko; Jyoti Chattopadhyaya; Piet Herdewijn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioorganic chemistry; antisense oligonucleotides; conformationally constrained nucleosides; azetidine; aza-ENA; target affinity; RNase H; exonuclease stability; pyrene-functionalized nucleotides; fluorescence; mismatch discrimination; Bioorganisk kemi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on six original research publications describing synthesis, structure and physicochemical and biochemical analysis of chemically modified oligonucleotides (ONs) in terms of their potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Synthesis of two types of bicyclic conformationally constrained nucleosides, North-East locked 1',2'-azetidine and North locked 2',4'-aza-ENA, is described. LÄS MER

7. 5. Functional aspects of wobble uridine modifications in yeast tRNA

   Författare :Anders Esberg; Anders Byström; James T. Anderson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Transfer RNA; Modified nucleosides; Elongator complex; Translation; Kluyveromyces lactis γ-toxin; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Sammanfattning : Transfer RNAs (tRNA) function as adaptor molecules in the translation of mRNA into protein. These adaptor molecules require modifications of a subset of their nucleosides for optimal function. The most frequently modified nucleoside in tRNA is position 34 (wobble position), and especially uridines present at this position. LÄS MER
