Abstract
The derivatization of nucleic acids with selenium is a useful approach to facilitate phase determination during three?dimensional structural analysis by X?ray crystallography. This unit describes (1) the synthesis and characterization of 2??deoxy?2??methylseleno (2??Se?methyl) nucleosides and their corresponding 3??O ?(2?cyanoethyl)?N ,N ?diisopropylphosphoramidite derivatives, (2) the site?specific incorporation of 2??Se?methyl ribonucleosides into oligoribonucleotides by chemical RNA solid?phase synthesis, and (3) the enzymatic ligation of Se?containing RNA oligonucleotides to produce a biologically relevant RNA sequence.
Keywords: selenium; RNA; chemical synthesis; phosphoramidites; enzymatic ligation; X?ray crystallography

Figure 1.15.5 Enzymatic ligation of the adenine deaminase ( add ) adenine riboswitch aptamer domain ( Vibrio vulnificus ) with 2′‐methylseleno labels. Ligation of the 71‐nt RNA was achieved using T4 RNA ligase (0.20 U/µL; c RNA = 40 µM each strand; donor/acceptor = 1/1) at 21°C. DTT in ligation buffer is dithiothreitol. Analysis of the experiment by anion‐exchange HPLC, denaturating PAGE, and LC‐ESI‐MS. View Image -
Figure 1.15.6 Enzymatic ligation of the adenine deaminase ( add ) adenine riboswitch aptamer domain ( Vibrio vulnificus ) with 2′‐methylseleno labels. Ligation of the 71‐nt RNA was achieved using T4 DNA ligase and a 2′‐ O ‐methyl RNA splint oligonucleotide (0.25 U/µL; c RNA = 10 µM each strand; donor/acceptor/splint = 1/1/1) at 37°C. DTT in ligation buffer is dithiothreitol. ~undefinedSlight degradation of the product at 37°C was accepted for higher reaction rates). View Image
