Copper catalyzed cycloaddition for the synthesis of non isomerisable 2' and 3'-regioisomers of arg-tRNA

In this report, non-isomerisable analogs of arginine tRNA (Arg-triazole-tRNA) have been synthesized as tools to study tRNA-dependent aminoacyl-transferases. The synthesis involves the incorporation of 1,4 substituted-1,2,3 triazole ring to mimic the ester bond that connects the amino acid to the terminal adenosine in the natural substrate. The synthetic procedure includes (i) a coupling between 2'- or 3'-azido-adenosine derivatives and a cytidine phosphoramidite to access dinucleotide molecules, (ii) Cu-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions between 2'- or 3'-azido dinucleotide in the presence of an alkyne molecule mimicking the arginine, providing the corresponding Arg-triazole-dinucleotides, (iii) enzymatic phosphorylation of the 5'-end extremity of the Arg-triazole-dinucleotides with a polynucleotide kinase, and (iv) enzymatic ligation of the 5'-phosphorylated dinucleotides with a 23-nt RNA micro helix that mimics the acceptor arm of arg-tRNA or with a full tRNA
