The 18-mer TFOs (3′-GGAAGGNZN’GAGGAGGGA-5′) (NN′ = GA, GG, AG and AA) incorporating dAN derivatives (Z = aminoethyl-dAN, 3-phenol-dAN and 2-phenol-dAN) were synthesized on a 1 μmol scale by an automated DNA synthesizer (Nihon Techno Service Co., Ltd.) using standard phosphoramidite chemistry. Cleavage from the resin was accomplished by an overnight treatment with 28% ammonium hydroxide at 55 °C for 5 h, followed by reversed-phase HPLC purification (column: Nacalai Tesque COSMOSIL 5C18-ARII, 10 × 250 mm, solvents: A: 0.1 M TEAA buffer, B: CH3CN, gradient: B for 10% to 40%/20 min, flow rate: 3.0 mL min−1, UV: 254 nm, column oven: 35 °C). The DMTr group was deprotected in 5% aqueous acetic acid at room temperature for 30 min, followed by reversed-phase HPLC purification (HPLC conditions: column: Nacalai Tesque COSMOSIL 5C18-ARII, 4.6 × 250 mm, solvents: A: 0.1 M TEAA buffer, B: CH3CN, B: 5% to 30%/20 min, flow rate: 1.0 mL min−1, UV: 254 nm, column oven: 35 °C).

Four dipeptides, Leu-Hyp, Pro-Hyp, Glu-Hyp and Phe-Hyp, were synthesized by a liquid-phase method [15 ]. When synthesizing Leu-Hyp, 1.8 mM of Boc-Leucine-OH (Watanabe chemical industry, Hiroshima, Japan) was reacted with 1.8 mM of (t-Butyl)-trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline t-butyl ester hydrochloride (Watanabe chemical industry) overnight at 4℃ in the presence of 2.6 mM of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide monohydrochloride (Watanabe chemical industry) and 4.4 mM of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (Watanabe chemical industry) as catalysts. The reaction product, N and C-protected dipeptidyl Leu-Hyp derivative (Boc-Leu-Hyp-OtBu), was reacted with 4 M HCl/dioxane (30 min, 25℃) to cleave Boc groups and OtBu groups [16 (link)]. The obtained crude product was purified by preparative reversed-phase HPLC using Cosmosil 5C18-AR-II (10 mm I.D. × 250 mm; Nacalai Tesque).The final product was characterized by analytical reversed-phase HPLC using Cosmosil 5C18-AR-II (2.0 mm I.D. × 250 mm; Nacalai Tesque) and electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry with HPLC linked to 3200 Q Trap LC-MS/MS system. Pro-Hyp, Glu-Hyp and Phe-Hyp were synthesized in the same manner as Leu-Hyp, using the starting materials corresponding to the dipeptide to be synthesized.

Solid-phase Oligonucleotide Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis was performed on an ABI DNA synthesizer (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA) or M-2-MX DNA/RNA synthesizer (Nihon Techno Service Co., Ltd, Tsukuba, Japan). 1C and IM-CT were synthesized on solid support using FPdC phosphoramidite (compound 10) and commercially available O5′-dimethoxytrityl-2′-deoxyribonucleoside O3′-phosphoramidites. Cleavage from the solid support and deprotection, followed by purification with Glen-PakTM cartridges yielded the desired oligonucleotides. After HPLC purification (COSMOSIL 5C18 AR-II, Nacalai Tesque, Inc., Kyoto, 150 × 10 mm id), the identity of the products were confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS using a Bruker microflex-KSII (Bruker Corporation, Billerica, MA) (Table S2, ESI). DNA concentrations were determined by using NanoDrop ND-1000 (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE).

Heme biotinylation was carried out essentially as described [70 (link)]. Briefly, hemin in dimethylformamide (4.4 mg·mL−1) was incubated with 2-(1H-7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluroniumhexafluorophosphate methanaminium and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (30–60 min; RT). N-[-5-(Hydrazinocarboxy) pentyl]-D-biotinamide (biotin) in DMSO was added (60 min; RT) and the reaction was applied onto a C18 reverse-phase analytic HPLC column (COSMOSIL 5C18-ARII, Nacalai Tesque, Nijo Karasuma, Japan) to separate biotinylated from nonbiotinylated-heme and biotin. Fractions were dried (SpeedVac Plus SC110A; Vaccum System Plus UV400A) at < 15 °C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
