CWS/5/6 (In Russian) R CWS/5/6 ОРИГИНАЛ: АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ДАТА: 21 АПРЕЛЯ 2017 Г. Комитет по стандартам ВОИС (КСВ) Пятая сессия Женева, 29 мая – 2 июня 2017 г. ПЕРЕСМОТР СТАНДАРТА ВОИС ST.26 Документ подготовлен Секретариатом 1. На своей четвертой возобновленной сессии, состоявшейся в марте 2016 г. в Женеве, Комитет по стандартам ВОИС (КСВ) принял стандарт ВОИС ST.26 « Рекомендуемый стандарт представления перечней нуклеотидных и аминокислотных последовательностей с использованием языка XML (расширяемого языка разметки)». В связи с этим КСВ согласился на изменение описания задачи № 44: « Подготовить рекомендации в отношении порядка перехода со стандарта ВОИС ST.25 на стандарт ST.26; и, по мере необходимости, предложение по пересмотру стандарта ВОИС ST.26». (См. пункты 49–53 и 82–84 документа CWS/4BIS/16.) 2. В соответствии с новым описанием задачи № 44 Целевая группа по SEQL провела обсуждения по вопросу о пересмотре стандарта ВОИС ST.26; Европейское патентное ведомство (ЕПВ) как руководитель Целевой группы предоставило отчет о ходе работы Целевой группы, который воспроизведен в приложении I к настоящему документу. 3. По итогам обсуждений Целевая группа по SEQL представила на рассмотрение и, при необходимости, утверждение КСВ окончательные предложения о пересмотре стандарта ST.26, которые включают предложения об изменениях в основном тексте стандарта ST.26 и его приложениях I–III, а также предложение о принятии нового приложения VI (методический документ). Следует отметить, что приложения IV и V стандарта ST.26 остаются без изменений (и поэтому не прилагаются). Предлагаемые изменения воспроизведены в приложении II к настоящему документу в отношении основного текста стандарта ST.26 и его приложений I–II (которые озаглавлены соответственно как «ST.26, приложение I», и «ST.26, приложение II»); что касается приложения III к ST.26, то Целевая группа по SEQL предлагает изменить регистр CWS/5/6 стр. 2 двухбуквенных языковых кодов с верхнего на нижний и таким образом привести их в соответствие с двухбуквенными кодами, определенными в стандарте ISO 639, например изменить двухбуквенный код «EN» для английского языка на «en». Следует отметить, что в том случае, если КСВ одобрит предложенное изменение, новая версия стандарта ST.26 станет версией 1.1 (приложение III к ST.26 к настоящему документу не прилагается). 4. КСВ предлагается: (a) принять к сведению содержание настоящего документа и отчет о ходе работы Целевой группы по SEQL, содержащийся в Приложении I к настоящему документу; и (b) рассмотреть предлагаемый пересмотренный стандарт ВОИС ST.26, упомянутый в пункте 3 выше и воспроизведенный в приложении II к настоящему документу, и принять решение о его утверждении. [Приложение I следует] CWS/5/6 ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ I ОТЧЕТ ЦЕЛЕВОЙ ГРУППЫ ПО SEQL О ПЕРЕСМОТРЕ СТАНДАРТА ВОИС ST.26 Документ подготовлен Европейским патентным ведомством (ЕПВ) СПРАВОЧНАЯ ИНФОРМАЦИЯ 1. Целевая группа по перечням последовательностей была создана Комитетом по стандартам ВОИС (КСВ) на его первой сессии (25–29 октября 2010 г.) для выполнения задачи № 44 (см. пункт 29 документа CWS/1/10): 2. «Подготовить рекомендацию по представлению перечней нуклеотидных и аминокислотных последовательностей с использованием расширяемого языка разметки (XML) для ее принятия в качестве стандарта ВОИС. Предлагаемый текст нового стандарта ВОИС должен быть дополнен сообщением о последствиях принятия такого стандарта для применения текущего стандарта ВОИС ST.25, включая предложения об изменениях, которые необходимо внести в стандарт ST.25». 3. Целевой группе было также поручено: «Провести консультации с соответствующим органом PCT относительно возможных последствий такого стандарта для приложения C к Административной инструкции к РСТ». 4. Обязанности руководителя Целевой группы были возложены на Европейское патентное ведомство (ЕПВ); новый стандарт ВОИС под названием стандарт ST.26 был официально принят на четвертой возобновленной сессии КСВ (CWS/4BIS) в марте 2016 г. 5. КСВ на своей четвертой возобновленной сессии (21-24 марта 2016 г.) утвердил следующее измененное описание задачи № 44: «Подготовить рекомендации в отношении порядка перехода со стандарта ВОИС ST.25 на стандарт ST.26; и, при необходимости, предложение по пересмотру стандарта ВОИС ST.26». ОТЧЕТ О ХОДЕ РАБОТЫ 6. После принятия стандарта ST.26 на возобновленной четвертой сессии КСВ Целевая группа провела два раунда обсуждений: восьмой раунд был посвящен поиску путей дополнительного усовершенствования принятого стандарта с тем, чтобы обеспечить его эффективность в ходе практического применения, а в ходе девятого раунда были рассмотрены вопросы, связанные с переходом (от стандарта ST.25 к стандарту ST.26). За это время Целевая группа провела ряд веб-конференций и два неофициальных заседания в Женеве (23 марта и 9 сентября 2016 г.). 7. Целевая группа уделила особое внимание пересмотру принятого стандарта ST.26 в целях упростить его использование заявителями и ведомствами. Пересмотренный стандарт ST.26, представленный на утверждение КСВ на его пятой сессии, предусматривает следующие важнейшие изменения: - в стандарт внесены уточнения, касающиеся последовательностей пептидных нуклеиновых кислот (ПНА) и вариантов; - добавлен методический документ (приложение VI), призванный способствовать единообразному применению и толкованию стандарта ведомствами и заявителями; - обновлено приложение I «Контролируемая лексика» с целью его приведения в соответствие с таблицей характеристик INSDC V.10.6, опубликованной в ноябре 2016 г.; CWS/5/6 Приложение I, стр. 2 - добавлены или переформулированы комментарии в приложении II (DTD) с целью их уточнения и приведения в соответствие с INSDC DTD v1.5; - улучшен общий текст стандарта с учетом замечаний и комментариев, представленных в ходе публичных консультаций, проведенных ЕПВ, ЯПВ и ВПТЗ США в 2016/2017 гг. ДОРОЖНАЯ КАРТА 8. Получить на пятой сессии КСВ одобрение измененного/дополненного текста стандарта ST.26. 9. Получить на пятой сессии КСВ одобрение «Рекомендаций об обеспечении перехода от стандарта ВОИС ST.25 к стандарту ST.26». 10. Оказывать поддержку Международному бюро ВОИС путем его информирования о требованиях и мнениях пользователей об инструменте составления текста заявки. 11. Оказывать поддержку ВОИС в работе по пересмотру Административной инструкции к PCT с учетом изменений стандарта. 12. Работать над дальнейшим пересмотром стандарта ВОИС ST.26. Предлагается, чтобы дальнейший пересмотр стандарта не был обусловлен заранее определенным графиком и инициировался членами КСВ.

  • 5-Fluorocytosine/Isocytosine Monohydrate. the First Example of Isomorphic and Isostructural Co-Crystal of Pyrimidine Nucleobases
    crystals Article 5-Fluorocytosine/Isocytosine Monohydrate. The First Example of Isomorphic and Isostructural Co-Crystal of Pyrimidine Nucleobases Gustavo Portalone Department of Chemistry, ‘Sapienza’ University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +396-4991-3715 Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 2 November 2020; Published: 3 November 2020 Abstract: To date, despite the crucial role played by cytosine, uracil, and thymine in the DNA/RNA replication process, no examples showing isomorphic and isostructural behavior among binary co-crystals of natural or modified pyrimidine nucleobases have been so far reported in the literature. In view of the relevance of biochemical and pharmaceutical compounds such as pyrimidine nucleobases and their 5-fluoroderivatives, co-crystals of the molecular complex formed by 5-fluorocytosine and isocytosine monohydrate, C H FN O C H N O H O, have been synthesized 4 4 3 · 4 5 3 · 2 by a reaction between 5-fluorocytosine and isocytosine. They represent the first example of isomorphic and isostructural binary co-crystals of pyrimidine nucleobases, as X-ray diffraction analysis shows structural similarities in the solid-state organization of molecules with that of the (1:1) 5-fluorocytosine/5-fluoroisocytosine monohydrate molecular complex, which differs solely in the H/F substitution at the C5 position of isocytosine. Molecules of 5-fluorocytosine and isocytosine are present in the crystal as 1H and 3H-ketoamino tautomers, respectively. They form almost coplanar WC base pairs through nucleobase-to-nucleobase DAA/ADD hydrogen bonding interactions, demonstrating that complementary binding enables the crystallization of specific tautomers. Additional peripheral hydrogen bonds involving all available H atom donor and acceptor sites of the water molecule give a three-dimensional polymeric structure.

Wang* *Department of Cell and Structural Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801 USA; #Institute for Medical and Dental Engineering, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo 101-0062, Japan; and §Department of Synthetic Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan ABSTRACT Isoguanine (2-hydroxyladenine) is a product of oxidative damage to DNA and has been shown to cause mutation. It is also a potent inducer of parallel-stranded DNA duplex structure. The structure of the parallel-stranded DNA duplex (PS-duplex) 5Ј-d(TiGiCAiCiGiGAiCT) ϩ 5Ј-d(ACGTGCCTGA), containing the isoguanine (iG) and 5-methyl-isocytosine (iC) bases, has been determined by NMR refinement. All imino protons associated with the iG:C, G:iC, and A:T (except the two terminal A:T) basepairs are observed at 2°C, consistent with the formation of a stable duplex suggested by the earlier Tm measurements [Sugiyama, H., S. Ikeda, and I. Saito. 1996. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 118:9994–9995]. All basepairs are in the reverse Watson-Crick configuration. The structural characteristics of the refined PS-duplex are different from those of B-DNA. The PS duplex has two grooves with similar width (7.0 Å) and depth (7.7 Å), in contrast to the two distinct grooves (major groove width 11.7 Å, depth 8.5 Å, and minor groove width 5.7 Å, depth 7.5 Å) of B-DNA.

Haggmark, Briana Aboulache, Trevor Cohen, and Mattanjah S. de Vries* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106-9510, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: We present resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI) spectra of isocytosine (isoC) and pump−probe results on two of its tautomers. IsoC is one of a handful of alternative bases that have been proposed in scenarios of prebiotic chemistry. It is structurally similar to both cytosine (C) and guanine (G). We compare the excited-state dynamics with the Watson−Crick (WC) C and G tautomeric forms. These results suggest that the excited-state dynamics of WC form of G may primarily depend on the heterocyclic substructure of the pyrimidine moiety, which is chemically identical to isoC. For WC isoC we find a single excited-state decay with a rate of ∼1010 s−1, while the enol form has multiple decay rates, the fastest of which is 7 times slower than for WC isoC. The excited-state dynamics of isoC exhibits striking similarities with that of G, more so than with the photodynamics of C. ithout a fossil record of the prebiotic chemical world we W are left to conjecture to understand the roadmap that led to RNA and DNA. One of the factors that may have played a role in the prebiotic chemistry on an early earth is the photochemistry that could have been important before modern enzymatic repair and before the formation of the ozone − layer.1 6 Nucleobases, when absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation, tend to eliminate the resulting electronic excitation − by internal conversion (IC) in picoseconds (ps) or less.4,7 9 The availability of this rapid “safe” de-excitation pathway turns out to depend exquisitely on molecular structure.

We evaluated the impact of (S)- or (R)-GNA nucleotide incorporation on RNA duplex structure by determining three individual crystal structures. These structures indicate that the (S)-nucleotide backbone adopts a conformation that has little impact on the overall duplex structure, while the (R)-nucleotide disrupts the phosphate backbone and hydrogen bonding of an adjacent base pair. In addition, the GNA-T nucleobase adopts a rotated conformation in which the 5-methyl group points into the minor groove, rather than the major groove as in a normal Watson−Crick base pair. This observation of reverse Watson−Crick base pairing is further supported by thermal melting analysis of GNA-C and GNA-G containing duplexes where it was demonstrated that a higher thermal stability was associated with isoguanine and isocytosine base pairing, respectively, over the canonical nucleobases. Furthermore, it was also shown that GNA nucleotide or dinucleotide incorporation increases resistance against snake venom phosphodiesterase. Consistent with the structural data, modification of an siRNA with (S)-GNA resulted in greater in vitro potencies over identical sequences containing (R)-GNA.
