  • Many nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinases are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the exchange of ${\gamma}$-phosphates between tri- and diphosphonucleosides. The catalytic Many nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinases are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the exchange of ${\gamma}$-phosphates between tri- and diphosphonucleosides. The catalytic reaction follows a ping-pong mechanism in which the enzyme is transiently phosphorylated on a histidine residue conserved in all nucleoside diphosphate kinases. Beside their role in nucleotide synthesis, these enzymes present additional functions, possibly independent of catalysis, in processes such as differentiation, cell growth, tumor progression, metastasis and development. To clone murine nm23-M5, several expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of the GenBank data base, selected according to their homology to nm23-H5 cDNA, reconstituted a complete open reading frame (GenBank AF222750). To test whether murine NDPKs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) can inhibit Bax-mediated toxicity in yeast, co-transformation was performed respectively. The yeast S.cerevisiae was transformed with a copy expression plasmid containing the histidine selection marker and expressing murine Bax under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter. Several clones were selected and found to be growth inhibited when Bax expression was induced with galactose. A representative clone was transformed again with a copy expression plasmid containing the tryptophane selection marker and expressing either murine Bcl-xL or NDPK under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter. Several subclones of the double-transformants were selected and characterized. The ability of Bcl-xL and NDPKs to suppress Bax-mediated toxicity was determined by growing yeast cells overnight in galactose media and spot-testing on galactose plates starting with an equal number of yeast cells as determined by taking the OD$_{600}$. Ten-fold serial dilutions were used in the spot-test. Plates were grown at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 2-3 days. All murine NDPKs suppressed Bax dependent apoptosis. Futher study will be peformed whether Bax-toxicity inhibition was caused by NDP kinase activity or additional function.n.

  • This paper describes a racemic and stereoselective synthetic route for a novel cyclohexenyl carbocyclic adenine analogue. The required stereochemistry of the target compound was controlled using a stereoselective glycolate Claisen rearrangement followed by α-chelated carbonyl addition. The introduction of 6-chloropurine was achieved using Mitsunobu conditions, and further modifications of the corresponding heterocycle gave the target cyclohexenyl nucleoside.

  • Nucleoside diphosphate kinases(NDPKs) are ubiquitous enzymes involved in numerous regulatory processes associated with transcriptional regulation, cell proliferation, development, and differentiation. In this study, we was examined characterization and localization of the nm23-M5 in mouse testis by Western blotting, immunohistochemical and conforcal imaging study using specific antibodies raised against nm23-M5.

  • Carbonucleosides has extensively been studied as a promising anti-viral agents having chemical and metabolical stability. As yet there are no rules relating the structures of carbocyclic nucleosides to their therapeutic activity. although trends among certain kinds of structure have been tentatively put forward. In our research program for discovery of anti-viral drugs, the novel cyclobutyl nucleosides can be expected to be potential antiviral drugs as analogues of cyclobut-A, anti-HBV agent. (omitted)

  • Among 4'-substituted nucleosides. Nucleocidin. 4'-azido thymidine (ADRT), 4'-fluorinated carbocyclic nucleoside. and 3'-fluoro oxetanosin analogue have demonstrated a variety of biological activities. Since the cyclopentane ring of carbocyclic nucleosides can emulate the furanose moiety. a number of these compounds exhibit interesting biological activity, particularly in the areas of antiviral and anticancer chemotherapy.

  • We wanted to elucidate the reason why the trityloxymethyl substituent in $\gamma$-trityloxymethyl-$\gamma$­butyrolactone takes a sterically unfavorable specific conformation, and so we synthesized 5-trityloxymethyldihydrofuran-3-one, 3-(trityloxymethyl)-4-butanolide and 2-trityloxymethyl- tetrahy­drofuran and we then analyzed their conformation by $^{1}H-NMR$ analysis.
