TY - JOUR AU - Jemielity, Jacek AB - Abstract The syntheses of mRNA cap analogs modified with boranophosphate moiety at either the α or β-position of the 5′, 5′-triphosphate bridge (m7GpppBH3G, m7GppBH3pG and m7GppBH3pm7G) are described. The preliminary biological characterization of these compounds revealed that they have high affinity for translational factor eIF4E and high potency to inhibit cap-dependent translation in cell free system. The analogs modified at the β-position were also found to be resistant to DcpS decapping pyrophosphatase. © 2008 Oxford University Press TI - The first examples of mRNA cap analogs bearing boranophosphate modification JO - Nucleic Acids Symposium Series DO - 10.1093/nass/nrn146 DA - 2008-09-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/oxford-university-press/the-first-examples-of-mrna-cap-analogs-bearing-boranophosphate-wqIsWfHJqQ SP - 289 EP - 290 VL - 52 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
