We describe synthesis and properties of eight dinucleotide mRNA 5' cap analogs containing imidodiphosphate moiety within 5',5'-tri- or tetraphosphate bridge (NH-analogs). The compounds were obtained by coupling an appropriate nucleoside 5'-imidodiphosphate with nucleotide P-imidazolide mediated by divalent metal chloride in
It is demonstrated here that rat liver DNA polymerase beta catalyzes the pyrophosphorolysis reaction with pyrophosphate (PPi) and its analogues. The substrate specificity of the PPi-binding site of several DNA polymerases was investigated. It was discovered that the ability of
Imidodiphosphate (the pyrophosphate analog containing a nitrogen atom in the bridge position instead of oxygen) is a potent inhibitor of family II pyrophosphatases from Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus gordonii (inhibition constant Ki approximately 10 microM), which is slowly hydrolyzed by
S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase (ATP: L-methionine S-adenosyltransferase) catalyzes a two-step reaction in which tripolyphosphate (PPPi) is a tightly bound intermediate. Diimidotriphosphate (O(3)P-NH-PO(2)-NH-PO(3); PNPNP), a non-hydrolyzable analogue of PPPi, is the most potent known inhibitor of AdoMet synthetase with a K(i) of 2
