"Modified" RNA (And DNA) World
July editorial The "modified" RNA (and DNA) world A few months ago, as COVID-19 vaccinations were getting underway in the U.S., a non-scientist friend said he was uneasy because had heard that the RNA in them had been "doped". Leaning in, I asked "How?" (I knew of course, vide infra). "With some chemical" he replied. This struck me as a perfect storm of an educated, reasonably informed non- scientist being led astray by how the media often doesn't get it quite right, though we all recognize that too much detail can be narcoleptic. The art is to convey the science in just the right dose, as Lewis Thomas and Carl Sagan did for example (1). I told my friend what the "doping" was, using lay terms. He listened thoughtfully and then I came in with my final shot: nature is full of RNA that is "doped", and even DNA is as well. These chemical modifications are not done by mad scientists but the very biological systems in which these RNAs and DNAs reside, using their own enzymes. He left somewhat convinced and hopefully is now vaccinated. This encounter gave me the thought that I, and my readers, should take a step back and think about all the "modified" RNAs and DNAs out there. For transfer RNAs alone, there are 120 known base modifications, with their prevalence as high as 13 of the 76 nucleotides in human cytosolic tRNAtyr(2). N6- adenosine methylation of messenger RNA, discovered in 1974, has recently come to the fore, although not all experts agree on its functional significance (3,4).

The Binding of Monoclonal and Polyclonal Anti-Z-DNA Antibodies to DNA of Various Species Origin
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article The Binding of Monoclonal and Polyclonal Anti-Z-DNA Antibodies to DNA of Various Species Origin Diane M. Spencer 1,2, Angel Garza Reyna 3 and David S. Pisetsky 1,2,* 1 Department of Medicine and Immunology, Division of Rheumatology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA; [email protected] 2 Medical Research Service, Veterans Administration Medical Center, Durham, NC 27705, USA 3 Department of Chemistry, Duke University, Durham, NC 27705, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: DNA is a polymeric macromolecule that can display a variety of backbone conformations. While the classical B-DNA is a right-handed double helix, Z-DNA is a left-handed helix with a zig-zag orientation. The Z conformation depends upon the base sequence, base modiﬁcation and supercoiling and is considered to be transient. To determine whether the presence of Z-DNA can be detected immunochemically, the binding of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-Z-DNA antibodies to a panel of natural DNA antigens was assessed by an ELISA using brominated poly(dG-dC) as a control for Z-DNA. As these studies showed, among natural DNA tested (Micrococcus luteus, calf thymus, Escherichia coli, salmon sperm, lambda phage), micrococcal (MC) DNA showed the highest binding with both anti-Z-DNA preparations, and E. coli DNA showed binding with the monoclonal anti-DNA preparation. The speciﬁcity for Z-DNA conformation in MC DNA was demonstrated by an inhibition binding assay. An algorithm to identify propensity to form Z-DNA indicated that Citation: Spencer, D.M.; Reyna, A.G.; Pisetsky, D.S.

Advances in Oligonucleotide Drug Delivery
REVIEWS Advances in oligonucleotide drug delivery Thomas C. Roberts 1,2 ✉ , Robert Langer 3 and Matthew J. A. Wood 1,2 ✉ Abstract | Oligonucleotides can be used to modulate gene expression via a range of processes including RNAi, target degradation by RNase H-mediated cleavage, splicing modulation, non-coding RNA inhibition, gene activation and programmed gene editing. As such, these molecules have potential therapeutic applications for myriad indications, with several oligonucleotide drugs recently gaining approval. However, despite recent technological advances, achieving efficient oligonucleotide delivery, particularly to extrahepatic tissues, remains a major translational limitation. Here, we provide an overview of oligonucleotide-based drug platforms, focusing on key approaches — including chemical modification, bioconjugation and the use of nanocarriers — which aim to address the delivery challenge.

De Novo Nucleic Acids: a Review of Synthetic Alternatives to DNA and RNA That Could Act As † Bio-Information Storage Molecules
life Review De Novo Nucleic Acids: A Review of Synthetic Alternatives to DNA and RNA That Could Act as y Bio-Information Storage Molecules Kevin G Devine 1 and Sohan Jheeta 2,* 1 School of Human Sciences, London Metropolitan University, 166-220 Holloway Rd, London N7 8BD, UK; [email protected] 2 Network of Researchers on the Chemical Evolution of Life (NoR CEL), Leeds LS7 3RB, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] This paper is dedicated to Professor Colin B Reese, Daniell Professor of Chemistry, Kings College London, y on the occasion of his 90th Birthday. Received: 17 November 2020; Accepted: 9 December 2020; Published: 11 December 2020 Abstract: Modern terran life uses several essential biopolymers like nucleic acids, proteins and polysaccharides. The nucleic acids, DNA and RNA are arguably life’s most important, acting as the stores and translators of genetic information contained in their base sequences, which ultimately manifest themselves in the amino acid sequences of proteins. But just what is it about their structures; an aromatic heterocyclic base appended to a (five-atom ring) sugar-phosphate backbone that enables them to carry out these functions with such high fidelity? In the past three decades, leading chemists have created in their laboratories synthetic analogues of nucleic acids which differ from their natural counterparts in three key areas as follows: (a) replacement of the phosphate moiety with an uncharged analogue, (b) replacement of the pentose sugars ribose and deoxyribose with alternative acyclic, pentose and hexose derivatives and, finally, (c) replacement of the two heterocyclic base pairs adenine/thymine and guanine/cytosine with non-standard analogues that obey the Watson–Crick pairing rules.

A Small Nucleolar RNA Is Processed from an Intron of the Human Gene Encoding Ribosomal Protein $3
Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 6, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press A small nucleolar RNA is processed from an intron of the human gene encoding ribosomal protein $3 Kazimierz Tyc Tycowski, Mei-Di Shu, and Joan A. Steitz Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06536-0812 USA A human small nucleolar RNA, identified previously in HeLa cells by anti-fibrillarin autoantibody precipitation and termed RNA X, has been characterized. It comprises two uridine-rich variants (148 and 146 nucleotides}, which we refer to as snRNA U15A and U15B. Secondary structure models predict for both variants a U15-specific stem-loop structure, as well as a new structural motif that contains conserved sequences and can also be recognized in the other fibrillarin-associated nucleolar snRNAs, U3, U14, and RNA Y. The single-copy gene for human U15A has been found unexpectedly to reside in intron 1 of the ribosomal protein $3 gene; the U15A sequence appears on the same strand as the $3 mRNA and does not exhibit canonical transcription signals for nuclear RNA polymerases. U15A RNA is processed in vitro from $3 intron 1 transcripts to yield the correct 5' end with a 5'-monophosphate; the in vitro system requires ATP for 3' cleavage, which occurs a few nucleotides downstream of the mature end. The production of a single primary transcript specifying the mRNA for a ribosomal or nucleolar protein and a nucleolar snRNA may constitute a general mechanism for balancing the levels of nucleolar components in vertebrate cells.
