Abstract
The capability of current MD simulations to be used as a tool in rational design of agonists of medically interesting enzyme RNase L was tested. Dimerization and enzymatic activity of RNase L is stimulated by 2',5'-linked oligoadenylates (pA₂₅A₂₅A; 2-5A). First, it was necessary to ensure that a complex of monomeric human RNase L and 25A was stable in MD simulations. It turned out that Glu131 had to be protonated. The non-protonated Glu131 caused dissociation of 2-5A from RNase L. Because of the atypical 2'-5' internucleotide linkages and a specific spatial arrangement of the 25A trimer, when a single molecule carries all possible conformers of the glycosidic torsion angle, several versions of the AMBER force field were tested. One that best maintained functionally important interactions of 25A and RNase L was selected for subsequent MD simulations. Furthermore, we wonder whether powerful GPUs are able to produce MD trajectories long enough to convincingly demonstrate effects of subtle perturbations of interactions between 25A and RNase L. Detrimental impacts of various point mutations of RNase L (R155A, F126A, W60A, K89A) on 2-5A binding were observed on a time scale of 200 ns. Finally, 2-5A analogues with a bridged 3'--O,4'--C-alkylene linkage (B) introduced into the adenosine units (A) were used to assess ability of MD simulations to distinguish on the time scale of hundreds of nanoseconds between agonists of RNase L (pA₂₅A₂₅B, pB₂₅A₂₅A, pB₂₅A₂₅B) and inactive analogs (pA₂₅B₂₅A, pA₂₅B₂₅B, pB₂₅B₂₅A, pB₂₅B₂₅B). Agonists were potently bound to RNase L during 200 ns MD runs. For inactive 2-5A analogs, by contrast, significant disruptions of their interactions with RNase L already within 100 ns MD runs were found.

Abstract
5'-Triphosphate 2'-5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) is the central player in the 2-5A system that is an innate immunity pathway in response to the presence of infectious agents. Intracellular endoribonuclease RNase L activated by 2-5A cleaves viral and cellular RNA resulting in apoptosis. The major limitations of 2-5A for therapeutic applications is the short biological half-life and poor cellular uptake. Modification of 2-5A with biolabile and lipophilic groups that facilitate its uptake, increase its in vivo stability and release the parent 2-5A drug in an intact form offer an alternative approach to therapeutic use of 2-5A. Here we have synthesized the trimeric and tetrameric 2-5A species bearing hydrophobic and enzymolabile pivaloyloxymethyl groups at 3'-positions and a triphosphate at the 5'-end. Both analogs were able to activate RNase L and the production of the trimer 2-5A (the most active) was scaled up to the milligram scale for antiviral evaluation in cells infected by influenza virus or respiratory syncytial virus. The trimer analog demonstrated some significant antiviral activity.

Abstract
The endoribonuclease L (RNase L) is the effector of the 2-5A system, a major enzymatic pathway involved in the molecular mechanism of interferons (IFNs). RNase L is a very unusual nuclease with a complex mechanism of regulation. It is a latent enzyme, expressed in nearly every mammalian cell type. Its activation requires its binding to a small oligonucleotide, 2-5A. 2-5A is a series of unique 5'-triphosphorylated oligoadenylates with 2'-5' phosphodiester bonds. By regulating viral and cellular RNA expression, RNase L plays an important role in the antiviral and antiproliferative activities of IFN and contributes to innate immunity and cell metabolism. The 2-5A/RNase L pathway is implicated in mediating apoptosis in response to viral infections and to several types of external stimuli. Several recent studies have suggested that RNase L could have a role in cancer biology and evidence of a tumor suppressor function of RNase L has emerged from studies on the genetics of hereditary prostate cancer.

Abstract
To determine the influence of methylene group insertion in the internucleotide linkage on the binding process of 2',5'-oligoadenylates to RNase L, a series of 2'-phosphonate-modified trimers and tetramers were synthesized from appropriate monomeric units and evaluated for their ability to bind to murine RNase L. Tetramers pAAXA modified by ribo-, arabino-, or xylo-2'-phosphonate unit X in the third position were capable of binding to RNase L in nanomolar concentrations. The replacement of the first residue (pXAAA), or both the first and the third residues (pXAXA), was also tolerated by the enzyme. In contrast, in all cases, the replacement of the second residue (pAXAA) resulted in the significant decrease of binding ability. Additionally, no more than two phosphonate modifications in the tetramer were allowed to retain the binding affinity to the enzyme. Although all three tetramers pAAXA were found to be potent enzyme binders, only tetramers modified by ribo- and xylo-2'-phosphonate unit X activated the RNase L-catalyzed cleavage of the RNA substrate. Surprisingly, tetramer pAAXA, modified by arabino-2'-phosphonate unit X, did not activate the enzyme and can be considered a potent antagonist. In comparison with their natural counterpart, the phosphonate analogues of the pA4 exhibit superior resistance toward nucleases present in the murine spleen homogenate.

Abstract
2',5'-Linked oligoadenylates (2-5A) are involved in the antiviral action of interferon. The 2-5A binds and activates 2-5A dependent RNase (RNase L), which degrades viral mRNA, resulting in the inhibition of protein synthesis. 2',5'-Linked phosphorothioate oligoadenylates with an Rp configuration bind to and activate the RNase L. On the other hand, 2',5' phosphorothioate oligoadenylate with an Sp configuration weakly binds to the RNase L and is devoid of the RNase L activation ability. Comparative circular dichroism (CD) and NMR studies are carried out to characterize the difference in properties between the two configurations of the 2',5' phosphorothioate oligoadenylates. 2',5' Rp-Phosphorothioate oligoadenylates showed CD spectra similar to those of the corresponding native 2',5' oligoadenylates, while the 2',5' Sp-phosphorothioate oligoadenylates exhibited a weaker CD band compared to the former two, indicating the weaker base-stacking interaction of the 2',5' Sp-phosphorothioate oligoadenylates. The temperature-dependent change in the CD revealed that 2',5' phosphorothioate oligoadenylates showed larger DeltaH(0) and DeltaS(0) values for the thermal transition of the conformation than the corresponding native 2',5' oligoadenylates. The NMR spectral assignment was accomplished by several NMR measuring techniques. The 2'-H of the ribose ring linked to the 2',5' Sp-phosphorothioate showed a higher field chemical shift of the proton NMR than that linked to the corresponding 2',5' Rp-phosphorothioate. 2',5' Rp- and Sp-phosphorothioate oligoadenylates possess a sugar conformation similar to that of the corresponding native 2',5' oligoadenylates.

Abstract
Antisense oligonucleotides (ON) allow the specific control of gene expression and phosphorothioate derivatives are currently being evaluated for possible clinical applications. Numerous second generation ON analogues with improved pharmacological properties have been described. Most of them, however, do not recruit RNase H, which is known to increase ON potency by eliciting the specific degradation of the target RNA. Silverman, Torrence and colleagues have conjugated 2,5A to natural antisense ON and demonstrated the preferential cleavage of a target RNA in cell-free and intact cell experiments. We have established for the first time that RNase H-incompetent ON, viz. alpha-anomeric ON analogues, can be converted into sequence-specific nucleases upon conjugation to 2,5A. The use of alpha-ON- and beta-ON-2,5A chimeras has allowed us to delineate the part played by RNase H and RNase L in target RNA degradation and translation arrest. Finally, the present studies have revealed limitations which are encountered in the choice of a suitable target for such ON-2,5A chimeras.

Abstract
The 2-5A system is an RNA degradation pathway that can be induced by the interferons (IFNs). Treatment of cells with IFN activates genes encoding several double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent synthetases. These enzymes generate 5'-triphosphorylated, 2',5'-phosphodiester-linked oligoadenylates (2-5A) from ATP. The effects of 2-5A in cells are transient since 2-5A is unstable in cells due to the activities of phosphodiesterase and phosphatase. 2-5A activates the endoribonuclease 2-5A-dependent RNase L, causing degradation of single-stranded RNA with moderate specificity. The human 2-5A-dependent RNase is an 83.5 kDa polypeptide that has little, if any, RNase activity, unless 2-5A is present. 2-5A binding to RNase L switches the enzyme from its off-state to its on-state. At least three 2',5'-linked oligoadenylates and a single 5'-phosphoryl group are required for maximal activation of the RNase. Even though the constitutive presence of 2-5A-dependent RNase is observed in nearly all mammalian cell types, cellular amounts of 2-5A-dependent mRNA and activity can increase after IFN treatment. One well-established role of the 2-5A system is as a host defense against some types of viruses. Since virus infection of cells results in the production and secretion of IFNs, and since dsRNA is both a frequent product of virus infection and an activator of 2-5A synthesis, the replication of encephalomyocarditis virus, which produces dsRNA during its life cycle, is greatly suppressed in IFN-treated cells as a direct result of RNA decay by the activated 2-5A-dependent RNase. This review covers the organic chemistry, enzymology, and molecular biology of 2-5A and its associated enzymes. Additional possible biological roles of the 2-5A system, such as in cell growth and differentiation, human immunodeficiency virus replication, heat shock, atherosclerotic plaque, pathogenesis of Type I diabetes, and apoptosis, are presented.

Abstract
Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated a statistically significant dysregulation in several key components of the 2',5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) synthetase/RNase L and PKR antiviral pathways in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Suhadolnik et al. Clin Infect Dis 18, S96-104, 1994; Suhadolnik et al. In Vivo 8, 599-604, 1994). Two methodologies have been developed to further examine the upregulated RNase L activity in CFS. First, photoaffinity labeling of extracts of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with the azido 2-5A photoaffinity probe, [32P]pApAp(8-azidoA), followed by immunoprecipitation with a polyclonal antibody against recombinant, human 80-kDa RNase L and analysis under denaturing conditions. A subset of individuals with CFS was identified with only one 2-5A binding protein at 37 kDa, whereas in extracts of PBMC from a second subset of CFS PBMC and from healthy controls, photolabeled/immunoreactive 2-5A binding proteins were detected at 80, 42, and 37 kDa. Second, analytic gel permeation HPLC was completed under native conditions. Extracts of healthy control PBMC revealed 2-5A binding and 2-5A-dependent RNase L enzyme activity at 80 and 42 kDa as determined by hydrolysis of poly(U)-3'-[32P]pCp. A subset of CFS PBMC contained 2-5A binding proteins with 2-5A-dependent RNase L enzyme activity at 80, 42, and 30 kDa. However, a second subset of CFS PBMC contained 2-5A binding and 2-5A-dependent RNase L enzyme activity only at 30 kDa. Evidence is provided indicating that the RNase L enzyme dysfunction in CFS is more complex than previously reported.

Abstract
2',5'-Oligoadenylate (2-5A) derivatives have been designed to act distal to the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)-induced blockade in the 2-5A synthetase/RNase L antiviral pathway. Stereochemical modification of individual internucleotide linkages of the 2-5A molecule was accomplished by phosphoramidite and phosphotriester chemical syntheses. Phosphorothioate/phosphodiester trimer and tetramer 2-5A derivatives revealed differences in the stereodynamics of activation of RNase L and inhibition of HIV-1 replication. The first and second internucleotide linkages are critical for activation of recombinant, human RNase L; A(Rp)ApA, A(Sp)ApA and ApA(Rp)A are agonists (IC50 = 2 x 10(-7), 2 x 10(-6) and 8 x 10(-6) M); ApA(Sp)A is an antagonist. The second and third internucleotide linkages are crucial for activation of murine RNase L; ApA(Rp)A, ApA(Rp)ApA, and ApApA(Rp)A are agonists (IC50 = 5 x 10(-7) M); ApA(Sp)A, ApA(Sp)ApA, and ApApA(Sp)A are antagonists. Inhibition of HIV-1-induced syncytia formation by the phosphorothioate/phosphodiester derivatives is specific for derivatives with substitution at the 2',3'-terminus. ApA(Rp)A, ApA(Sp)A, ApApA(Rp)A, and ApApA(Sp)A are potent inhibitors of HIV-1-induced syncytia formation (80-, 10-, 40-, and 15-fold more inhibitory, respectively, than solvent control). HIV-1 infection results in enhanced uptake and accumulation of ApA(Rp)A and ApA(Sp)A (7- and 10-fold, respectively). These stereochemically modified 2-5A derivatives are taken up preferentially by HIV-1-infected cells and show promise in anti-HIV-1 chemotherapy.

Abstract
2',5'-Oligoadenylates (2-5A) have an essential role in the establishment of the antiviral state of a cell exposed to virus infection. The key enzymes of the 2-5A system are the 2-5A forming 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (2-5OAS), the activity of which depends on the presence of viral or cellular double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and the 2-5A-activated ribonuclease (RNase L). Basic research in recent years has shown that the 2-5A system is a promising target for anti-HIV chemotherapy, particularly due to its interaction with double-stranded segments within HIV RNA. Two new strategies have been developed which yield a selective antiviral effect of 2-5A against HIV-1 infection: (1) development of 2-5A analogues displaying a dual mode of action (activation of RNase L and inhibition of HIV-1 RT) and (2) intracellular immunization of cells against HIV-1 infection by application of the HIV-1-LTR--2-5OAS hybrid gene. A further strategy is the inhibition of DNA topoisomerase I by longer 2-5A oligomers.

Abstract
Picornaviruses are among the best understood animal viruses in molecular terms. A number of important human and animal pathogens are members of the Picornaviridae family. The genome organization, the different steps of picornavirus growth and numerous compounds that have been reported as inhibitors of picornavirus functions are reviewed. The picornavirus particles and several agents that interact with them have been solved at atomic resolution, leading to computer-assisted drug design. Picornavirus inhibitors are useful in aiding a better understanding of picornavirus biology. In addition, some of them are promising therapeutic agents. Clinical efficacy of agents that bind to picornavirus particles has already been demonstrated.

Abstract
In continued studies to elucidate the requirements for binding to and activation of the 2',5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) dependent endoribonuclease (RNase L), four 2-5A trimer analogs were examined to evaluate the effect of chirality of phosphorothioate substitution on biological activity. The chemical syntheses and purification of the four isomers of P-thio-3'-deoxyadenylyl-(2'-5')-P-thio-3'- deoxyadenylyl-(2'-5')-3'-deoxyadenosine, by the phosphoramidite approach, is described. The isolated intermediates were characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. The fully deblocked compounds were characterized by 1H and 31P NMR and HPLC analyses. The 2',5'-(3'dA)3 cores with either Rp or Sp chirality in the 2',5'-internucleotide linkages will bind to but will not activate RNase L. This is in contrast to 2',5'-A3 core analogs with either RpRp or SpRp phosphorothioate substitution in the 2',5'-internucleotide linkages which can bind to and activate RNase L. There are also marked differences in the ability of the 2',5'-A3 analogs to activate RNase L following introduction of the 5'-monophosphate. For example, the 5'monophosphates of 2',5'-(3'dA)3-RpRp and 2',5'-(3'dA)3-SpRp can bind to and activate RNase L, whereas the 5'-monophosphates of 2',5'-(3'dA)3-RpSp and 2',5'-(3'dA)3-SpSp can bind to but can not activate RNase L.

Abstract
The study of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) encompasses a variety of fields. Basic research in this area has contributed to a greater mechanistic understanding of gene induction, tumor cell growth arrest, the establishment of antiviral states, and immunomodulation. Because of the possible clinical value of these molecules, physicians are now exploring the use of synthetic dsRNA to treat patients with cancer, HIV-1 disease, and immune dysfunction. Continued studies of the mechanisms of action of dsRNA are likely to suggest an even wider scope of clinical applications.
