LNA (LOCKED NUCLEIC ACID) AND THE DIASTEREOISOMERIC Α-L-Lna: CONFORMATIONAL TUNING AND HIGH-AFFINITY RECOGNITION OF DNA/RNA TARGETS

Abstract: The remarkable binding properties of LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid) and alpha-L-LNA (the alpha-L-ribo configured diastereoisomer of LNA) are summarized, and hybridization results for LNA/2'-O-Me-RNA chimera and LNAs with a "dangling" nucleotide are introduced. In addition, results from NMR investigations on the furanose conformations of the individual nucleotide monomers in different duplexes are presented. All these data are discussed with focus on the importance of conformational steering of unmodified nucleotide… Show more

“…The exchange of three thymidine monomers by three thymine LNA monomers (cf., entry 2, oxy-LNA/DNA chimera) induced substantially increased thermal affinities towards both complementary DNA and RNA [8,9]. Even higher Tm values were obtained for the corresponding oxy-LNA/RNA chimera [25] (cf., entry 3), the fully modified LNA [8] (cf., entry 4) and an LNA/2' -O-methyl-RNA chimera (cf., entry 5) [26].…”

“…One LNA diastereoisomer, namely a-L-LNA, has been studied intensively and has shown very efficient recognition of complementary strands, in particular complementary RNA [19,22,23,26,28,29]. Accordingly, incorporation of three 2'-O,4'-C-methyleneot-L-ribofuranosyl thymine ot-L-LNA monomers into either a DNA strand [28] (cf., entry 9, ot-L-LNA/DNA chimera) or a 2'-OMe-RNA strand [26] (cf., entry 10, ot-L-LNA/2'-OMe-RNA chimera) lead to significantly increased Tm values.…”

“…Recent years, many studies confirm LNAs take advantages of low toxicity [18], enhanced triplex formation [19 -21], nuclease resistance [15,22,23], synthesis by standard methods [16] and availability from a commercial supplier. Further more, LNAs have great potential to improve capability of nucleic acid recognition [24]. Our laboratory has employed the LNA modified probe to detect target DNA through typical intercalator-based DNA sensors to clear that LNAs posses extraordinarily high affinities for complementary sequences and demonstrate that LNA probes hybridize with very high affinity to perfectly complementary targets, and at the same time the results also show an extraordinary specificity to discriminate the targets that differ by a single base [25].…”

“…[21,22] The furanose conformation of an a-l-LNA monomer is N-type (C3'-endo, 3 E) but it is a DNA mimic as a consequence of the unnatural l configuration. [23] NMR spectroscopic studies as well as molecular modeling simulations of partially and fully modified a-l-LNA:RNA duplexes have shown very similar overall duplex geometry to the corresponding unmodified DNA:RNA duplex, although some local rearrangements of the phosphate backbone were observed to accommodate the unnatural a-l-LNA nucleotides.…”
