Abstract
MICHAELIS-ARBUSOV reaction of diastereoisomeric 2-methoxy-4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinans with benzyl halides is non-stereospecific. Cis- and trans-2-benzyl-2-oxo-4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinans were separated and analysed by means of IR, 31P and 13C NMR spectroscopy. 2-Benzyl-2-seleno-4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinans were synthesized and stereospecifically converted to 2-oxo-analogues. Stereochemistries are assigned to the geometrical isomers of all new compounds described in this paper. Application of direct spin-spin coupling constant values for structural elucidation is emphasized.

Abstract
It has been reported from this Laboratory that 1JPH and 1 JPSe absolute values showed the clear dependence on the spatial orientation of H and Se substituents in several pairs of ring C-substituted 2-X-2-Y-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinans and may therefore provide information about conformation of the ring and configuration at phosphorus atom1.

Abstract
The application of the oxathiaphospholane approach for the synthesis of dithymidine boranphospate was evaluated. It was shown, that although the nucleoside-3'-O-oxathiaphospholane-borane complexes 2 or 6 could not be chromatographically separated into diastereomerically pure species due to their apparent instability to moisture, they can be successfully applied to the non-stereocontrolled formation of internucleotide boranophosphate bond by reaction with 5'-OH-nucleoside in the presence of DBU. Attempts to apply the related dithiaphospholane approach for the preparation of dithymidine boranophosphorothioate were unsuccessful.

Abstract
Endonuclease from Serratia marcescens hydrolyzes internucleotide phosphorothioate linkages of R(P) configuration with inversion of configuration at P-atom. This observation supports a reported architecture of the active site, with 3'-bridging and pro-S(P) non-bridging oxygen atoms of the scissile phosphate group involved in direct contact with hydrated magnesium cation, while His-89 activates a water molecule which attacks the phosphorus atom according to a one-step in-line mechanism. The presence of a phosphorothioate bond of S(P) configuration downstream to that one being cleaved reduces the rate of hydrolysis. This suggests participation of the pro-S(P) oxygen atom of that phosphate bond in the mechanism of action of the enzyme, which was not detected in published crystallographic analyses.

Abstract
Many reports indicate different nonantisense yet sequence-specific effects of antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. Products of enzymatic degradation of the oligonucleotides can also influence cell proliferation. The cytotoxic effects of deoxyribonucleoside-5'-phosphates (dNMPs) and their 5'-phosphorothioate analogs, deoxyribonucleoside-5'-monophosphorothioates (dNMPSs) on 4 human cell types (HeLa, HL-60, K-562, and endothelial cells) were examined, and the effects were correlated with the catabolism of these compounds. The results indicate that differences in cytotoxicity of dNMPs or dNMPSs in these cells depend upon different activity of an ecto-5'-nucleotidase. It has also been found that dNMPSs stimulate proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and HL-60 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. This stimulation might be caused by the binding of deoxynucleoside-5'-phosphorothioates to as-yet unidentified nucleotide receptor(s) at the cell surface. (Blood. 2001;98:995-1002)

Abstract
In this report we tested the effect of oligodeoxyribonucleotides antisense to PAI-1 mRNA administered into rats on PAI-1 concentration in platelets. Low doses of the antisense oligonucleotide (MPO-16R) reduced PAI-1 activity, both in rat blood plasma and platelet lysates by 20.5% and 28.7%, respectively. There was no change in platelet count after treatment with MPO-16R but treated platelets showed lower aggregability as compared with controls (37 +/- 13% and 54 +/- 12%, respectively). In an experimental model of rat arterial thrombosis, low doses of MPO-16R caused a significant delay in the occlusion time (31.8%). These data further support for the role of PAI-1 as a major determinant of arterial thrombolysis resistance and for the first time demonstrate the possibility of reduction of platelet PAI-1 concentration by antisense approach.

Abstract
The cleavage of RNA can be accelerated by a number of factors. These factors include an acidic group (Lewis acid) or a basic group that aids in the deprotonation of the attacking nucleophile, in effect enhancing the nucleophilicity of the nucleophile; an acidic group that can neutralize and stabilize the leaving group; and any environment that can stabilize the pentavalent species that is either a transition state or a short-lived intermediate. The catalytic properties of ribozymes are due to factors that are derived from the complicated and specific structure of the ribozyme-substrate complex. It was postulated initially that nature had adopted a rather narrowly defined mechanism for the cleavage of RNA. However, recent findings have clearly demonstrated the diversity of the mechanisms of ribozyme-catalyzed reactions. Such mechanisms include the metal-independent cleavage that occurs in reactions catalyzed by hairpin ribozymes and the general double-metal-ion mechanism of catalysis in reactions catalyzed by the Tetrahymena group I ribozyme. Furthermore, the architecture of the complex between the substrate and the hepatitis delta virus ribozyme allows perturbation of the pK(a) of ring nitrogens of cytosine and adenine. The resultant perturbed ring nitrogens appear to be directly involved in acid/base catalysis. Moreover, while high concentrations of monovalent metal ions or polyamines can facilitate cleavage by hammerhead ribozymes, divalent metal ions are the most effective acid/base catalysts under physiological conditions.

The reaction of ring opening condensation proceeds in CH3CN solution in high yield and with over 96% stereoselectivity. One of diastereomers of LNA dinucleoside phosphorothioate (presumably R(P)) was found to be readily digested by svPDE.

Abstract
5'-O-Trityl-O2,3'-cycloanhydrothymidine (1) heated at 150 degrees C in the presence of O,O-diethyl phosphate or O,O-diethyl phosphorothioate anions undergoes rearrangement into N3-isomer (2); its structure was established by both advanced NMR methods and X-ray crystallographic studies. The most probable mechanism of 1-->2 rearrangement relies upon reversibility of glycosidic bond cleavage process.

Abstract
To probe the mechanism of the reversible DNA phosphodiester bond cleavage and religation mechanism of the type I topoisomerase from vaccinia virus, we have synthesized DNA substrates carrying a single nonbridging Rp- or Sp-phosphorothioate (Ps) modification at the scissile phosphodiester (Pd) bond. Analysis of the stereochemical outcome of the net cleavage and rejoining reaction established that the reaction proceeds with retention of configuration, as expected for a double-displacement mechanism. Single-turnover kinetic studies on irreversible strand cleavage using 18/24 mer suicide substrates showed thio effects (k(Pd)/k(Ps)) of 340- and 30-fold for the Rp-Ps and Sp-Ps stereoisomers, respectively, but approximately 10-fold smaller thio effects for the reverse single-turnover religation reaction (Rp-Ps = 30 and Sp-Ps = 3). As compared to the smaller suicide cleavage substrates, approach-to-equilibrium cleavage studies using 32/32 mer substrates showed 7-9-fold smaller thio effects on cleavage, similar effects on religation, and the same ratio of the Rp to Sp thio effect as the suicide cleavage reaction ( approximately 10). In general, thio effects of 2.4-7.2-fold on the cleavage equilibrium are observed for the wild-type and H265A enzymes, suggesting differences in the interactions of the enzyme with the nonbridging sulfur in the noncovalent and covalent complexes. Studies of the cleavage, religation, and approach-to-equilibrium reactions catalyzed by the H265A active site mutant revealed a stereoselective, 11-fold decrease in the Rp-thio effect on cleavage and religation as compared to the wild-type enzyme. This result suggests that His-265 interacts with the nonbridging pro-Rp oxygen in the transition state for cleavage and religation, consistent with the arrangement of this conserved residue in the crystal structure of the human topoisomerase-DNA complex. In general, the greatest effect of thio substitution and the H265A mutation is to destabilize the transition state, with smaller effects on substrate binding. The interaction of His-265 with the pro-Rp nonbridging oxygen is inconsistent with the proposal that this conserved residue acts as a general acid in the strand cleavage reaction.

Abstract
A series of conjugates containing residues of lipophilic alcohols covalently bound to 5' end of oligodeoxyribonucleotides targeted against human plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) mRNA was synthesized via the oxathiaphospholane approach. The highest anti-PAI-1 activity in EA.hy 926 endothelial cell cultures was found for conjugates containing menthyl or heptadecanyl groups linked with an oligonucleotide complementary to a segment of human PAI-1 mRNA. The phosphodiester antisense oligonucleotides, which otherwise exhibit only limited anti-PAI-1 activity, were found to be more active than phosphorothioate oligonucleotides when conjugated to lipophilic alcohol residues. For menthyl conjugates an evidence of antisense mechanism of inhibition was found.

Abstract
To clarify the role of the multiple lineage leukemia gene-leukemia translocation gene of chromosome 19 (MLL-LTG19) protein in leukemogenesis, we synthesized antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) against the fused region of the MLL-LTG19 chimeric transcript and treated KOCL33 cells carrying the t(11;19) translocation with antisense ODN. The antisense ODN inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in KOCL33 cells but not in Daudi cells, which have no t(11;19). The levels of MLL-LTG19 mRNA and MLL-LTG19 protein in KOCL33 cells treated with antisense ODN were shown to decrease with time by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot analysis. These results suggest that the MLL-LTG19 fusion protein contributes to cell proliferation and malignant transformation in infantile acute leukemia cells carrying the t(11;19) translocation.

Abstract
Phosphorothioate analogues of oligonucleotides (PS-oligos) of predetermined chirality at the phosphorus atom at each internucleotide linkage have been used as primers for terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase (TdT, EC 2.7.7.31). The enzyme catalyzes efficient elongation of PS primers in which all phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages are uniformly of the [R(P)] configuration, while the presence of the linkage(s) of the [S(P)] configuration significantly decreases or completely inhibits the primer extension. Our results indicate that for the elongation of phosphorothioate oligomers the most important is the internucleotide bond located between the second and the third nucleoside from the 3'-end. The presence of [S(P)] linkage at this position strongly reduces the enzyme activity while the [R(P)] bond allows for effective elongation of the primer. The activity of the enzyme is also influenced by base composition and sequence of phosphorothioate primer as well as the dNTP used for elongation process.

Abstract
Thymidine-5'-fluorothiophosphate, dTMP(S)-F, was synthesized by the oxathiaphospholane, and thymidine 5'-dithiophosphate, dTMPS2, by the dithiaphospholane, method. To estimate the role of 5'-phosphate group ionization in binding of pyrimidine nucleotides by thymidylate synthase, dTMP(S)-F was studied as an inhibitor of mouse tumour (L1210) enzyme, and its inhibitory properties were compared with those of dTMPS2, a close dTMP analogue. While dTMPS2 proved to be an inhibitor, competitive vs dUMP, with K(i)app = 94 microM, the 5'-fluorothiophosphate congener displayed no activity, indicating that the enzyme requires for binding the presence of a dianionic 5'-phosphate group in a nucleotide.

Abstract
Diastereomeric dithymidine methanephosphonamidates (TnpmT) were synthesized by reaction of 3'-amino-3'-deoxythymidine with 3'- O -acetylthymidin-5-yl-methanephosphonochloridate. Separated dinucleotide TnpmT(fast) and TnpmT(slow) diastereomers were used as building blocks to prepare chimeric dodecathy-midylates, possessing one to four modified linkages, by means of phosphoramidite automated solid phase synthesis. As expected, the methanephosphonamidate internucleotide linkage is resistant to nuclease P1, snake venom PDE and 3'-exonuclease from human plasma. Degradation of dodecathymidylates possessing modified internucleotide linkages in alternate positions proved the 'hopping' properties of 3'-exonuclease. Oligo(deoxyribonucleotide methanephosphonamidates) were tested for their binding affinity to complementary oligomers in thermal denaturation experiments. All the oligomers showed lower binding affinity to DNA and RNA targets, however, oligomers originating from the TnpmT(fast) dimeric unit exhibited better hybridization properties than their diastereomeric TnpmT(slow) counterparts. A lowering of T m of approximately 2.4 degrees C (1.0-1.8 degrees C) was observed for each introduced TnpmT(fast) modification and 6.0 degrees C (4.2-5.0 degrees C) for each TnpmT(slow) modification in duplexes of modified dodecathymidylates with dA12(A12) oligomers. The oligo(deoxyribonucleoside methanephosphonamidate) designated F4, possessing four modified methanephosphonate linkages originating from the TnpmT(fast) diastereomeric unit, exhibits a tendency for triplex formation, as was demonstrated in thermal denaturation experiments with the d(A21C4T21) hairpin oligomer.

Abstract
77Se high resolution solid state NMR spectroscopy was employed to study structural properties of bis(diisopropoxyphosphorothioyl) diselenide 1 and bis(dineopentoxyphosphorothioyl) diselenide 2. The principal elements Tii of 77Se effective dipolar/chemical shift tensor were calculated from spinning sideband intensities employing the WIN-MAS program. The values of anisotropy and asymmetry parameters reflect the distortion of the selenium environment. It was found that the T33 component mostly contributes to changes in the isotropic chemical shifts. 77Se CP/MAS experiments were used to decide the assignment of space group by counting the number of crystallographically unique selenium centers in the unit cell. Crystals of diselenide 1 are triclinic, space group P1 with a = 8.485(3) A, b = 8.508(1) A, c = 8.511(2) A, alpha = 98.835(15) degrees, beta = 111.653(24) degrees, gamma = 93.524(21) degrees, V = 559.5(3) A3, Dc = 1.544(2) g/cm3 and Z = 1. Refinement using 2222 reflections for 157 variables gives R = 0.037. Crystals of diselenide 2 are triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.1418(8) A, b = 9.1465(8) A, c = 9.9200(9) A, alpha = 74.751(8) degrees, beta = 74.629(7) degrees, gamma = 82.216(7) degrees, V = 769.7(1) A3, Dc = 1.365(2) g/cm3 and Z = 1. Refinement using 3316 reflections for 297 variables gives R = 0.0272.

Abstract
The effect of systemic inhibition of PAI-1 expression in rats by PS-16R, a phosphorothioate analogue of hexadecadeoxyribonucleotide complementary to a signal peptide coding sequence of rat PAI-1 mRNA, on PAI-1 activity in blood plasma and thrombus formation was studied in rat models for experimental thrombosis. In previous in vitro studies, oligonucleotides of PS-16R family have been shown to inhibit efficiently PAI-1 synthesis in endothelial cells by antisense mechanism. When PS-16R was administered intravenously as a single bolus injection (1 to 5 mg per rat), it produced a significant reduction in PAI-1 activity of blood plasma. This effect was both time- and concentration-dependent. Under the same conditions, three groups of rats were treated with control oligodeoxynucleotides such as PS-16R with double mismatches, with scrambled sequence, and an oligodeoxynucleotide with sense sequence (complementary to PS-16R), respectively. Based on these preliminary experiments, a low dose of 1.5 mg per rat was selected to produce approximately 20-30% reduction of PAI-1 activity in blood plasma and the effect of such a decrease in PAI-1 expression was tested on thrombus formation in two rat models for experimentally induced thrombosis. Such a limited decrease in PAI-1 activity produced a significant antithrombotic effect in the arterial thrombosis model. There was a profound delay in the occlusion time in rats treated with PS-16R when compared to control animals (80 +/- 3 and 55 +/- 3 h, respectively), although blood plasma activity of PAI-1 in the same groups of rats differed only by 20%. There was also a tendency to reduce both an incidence of venous thrombosis (58.33 and 68.11%, respectively) and thrombus weight (2.1 +/- 0.4 and 2.9 +/- 0.9 mg, respectively) in the animals treated with PS-16R. However, this effect was not significant. Thus, low dose of PS-16R through inhibition of PAI-1 synthesis in targeted cells in rats reduced PAI-1 activity in blood plasma and protected against arterial thrombus formation in the rat.

Abstract
Hexadecadeoxyribonucleotides complementary to a fragment of human PAI-1 mRNA located upstream of the start codon and their phosphorothioate analogs were studied in cultured HUVECs as sequence-dependent inhibitors of PAI-1 expression. The activity of the random mixture of diastereomers of phosphorothioate hexadecanucleotide PS-16H has been compared with that of isosequential, stereoregular [All-Sp] and [All-Rp] isomers. The highest inhibitory effect on PAI-1 synthesis was observed with the [All-Sp] diastereomer. Stereorandom phosphorothioate oligonucleotide PS-16R complementary to the same region of rat PAI-1 mRNA, when injected into tail vein of rats, substantially decreased the level of PAI-1 in blood plasma.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides with a nucleotide sequence complementary to various regions of human plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) mRNA have been studied as antisense inhibitors of expression of PAI-1 protein in cultured cells [human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), human aortic smooth muscle cells, human hybrid endothelial cells]. Hexadeca(deoxyribonucleoside phosphorothioate) 13 complementary to a fragment of a signal peptide PAI-1 mRNA was found to be most active, giving ca. 70% inhibition of PAI-1 release in a time- and dose-dependent way. The stereo-regular All-S(P) and All-R(P) diastereomers of 13 were studied and found to inhibit PAI-1 synthesis in HUVEC in a stereo-dependent manner, with the All-S(P) diastereomer considerably more active than the stereo-random construct and All-R(P) isomer. The observed stereo-dependent activity of oligonucleotide phosphorothioate constructs is presumably governed by their resistance to nucleases. The corresponding phosphodiester analogue of 13 was not active unless covalently bound at its 5'-end to a lipophilic alcohol residue (menthol, heptadecanol). The observed antisense activity of phosphodiester oligonucleotide bioconjugates in cultured human hybrid endothelial cells was paralleled by their increased stability in human plasma with respect to unconjugated oligonucleotide. The oligo(deoxyribonucleoside phosphorothioate) complementary to the same signal peptide region of rat PAI-1 mRNA was found to reduce the PAI-1 level in blood plasma of rats after intravenous administration into the tail vein. The effect was both time- and dose-dependent. The same oligonucleotide was found to protect against arterial thrombus formation in the rat (lower incidence of venous thrombosis, lower thrombus weight, and increased occlusion time in experimentally induced thrombosis). An anti-PAI-1 inhibitory activity has been independently reported for a 20-mer oligo(2'-O-methyl-ribonucleoside phosphorothioate) complementary to a 3'-untranslated region of human PAI-1 mRNA in cultured HUVEC and human aortic smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
A new method of stereoselective preparation of di(2'-deoxy or 2'-OMe)ribonucleoside (3',5')-methanephosphonate 5 is presented. The DBU/LiCl-assisted reaction of 5'-O-DMT-(2'-deoxy or 2'-OMe)ribonucleoside 3'-O-(S-alkyl methanephosphonothioate) 9 with 5'-OH nucleosides proceeds with full stereospecificity, giving 5 in moderate to good yield. The conversion of 5'-O-DMT-(2'-deoxy or 2'-OMe) ribonucleoside 3'-methanephosphonoanilidothioates 8 and 3'-O-methanephosphonoanilidates 10 by means of NaH/CX2 (X = O,S) followed by S-alkylation leads to monomers 9, with the possibility of use of both separated diastereomers of 8 for the preparation of one selected diastereomer of 5. The relative configuration at the P atom in 2'-OMe and deoxynucleoside derivatives of compounds 9 was established by means of stereoselective degradation of nucleoside 3'-O-methanephosphonothioates 11 (precursors of 9) with nuclease P1.

Abstract
The stability of stereoregular oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioate)s (PS-oligos) in human plasma has been studied. 3'-Exonuclease present in human plasma appeared to be RP specific, that is, it cleaves internucleotide phosphorothioate linkages of [RP]-configuration and not those of [SP]-configuration. Therefore, PS-oligos containing all phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages of [RP]-configuration [RP-PS-oligos]) are more effectively degraded by the enzyme than PS-oligos prepared via nonstereo-controlled methods (so-called random mixture of diastereomers [Mix-PS-oligos]), whereas oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioate)s of [S(P)]-configuration remain intact. The enzyme activity depends on the sequence of nucleobases. The presence of deoxycytidine units (three or more residues) at the 3'-end of PS-oligo substrate significantly inhibits the enzyme activity.

Abstract
The contact between EcoRI endonuclease and the "primary clamp" phosphate of its recognition site pGAATTC is absolutely required for recognition of the canonical and all variant DNA sites. We have probed this contact using oligonucleotides containing single stereospecific (Rp)- or (Sp)- phosphorothioates (Ps). At the GAApTTC position, where the endonuclease interacts with only one phosphoryl oxygen at the central DNA kink, Rp-Ps inhibits and Sp-Ps stimulates binding and cleavage [Lesser et al. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 24810-24818]: in contrast, at the pGAATTC position both diastereomers inhibit binding. For single-strand substitution, the penalty in binding free energy (delta delta G0bind) is slightly greater for Sp-Ps (+ 0.9 kcal/mol) than for Rp-Ps (+ 0.7 kcal/mol). Binding penalties are approximately additive for double-strand substitution (Rp,Rp-Ps or Sp,Sp-Ps). Neither Ps diastereomer in one DNA strand affects the first-order rate constants for cleavage in the unmodified DNA strand, and only Sp-Ps inhibits the cleavage rate constant (3-fold) in the modified DNA strand. Thus, the second-order cleavage rate (including binding and catalysis) is inhibited 14-fold by Sp-Ps and 45-fold by Sp,Sp-Ps. In the canonical complex, the phosphate at pGAATTC is completely surrounded by protein and each nonbridging phosphoryl oxygen receives two hydrogen bonds from the endonuclease, such that in either orientation the increased bond length of P-S- inhibits binding. However, the pro-Sp oxygen interacts with residues that are connected (by proximity or inter-side-chain hydrogen bonding) to side chains with essential roles in catalysis, so cleavage is preferentially inhibited when these side chains are slightly displaced by the Sp-Ps diastereomer.

Abstract
Anti-sense and sense oligodeoxynucleoside phosphorothioates, based on analysis of the secondary structure of Plasmodium falciparumdihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase mRNA, were synthesized. Their effects on P. falciparum growth in vitro were examined by microscopy and [3H] hypoxanthine incorporation. Both anti-sense and sense oligodeoxynucleoside phosphorothioates inhibit invasion of red blood cells by merozoites and this is interpreted as being caused by their polyanionic nature. Specific anti-sense effects of the oligonucleoside phosphorothioates could not however be demonstrated.

Abstract
P stereoregular phosphorothioate analogs of pentadecamer 5'-d(AGATGTTTGAGCTCT)-3' were synthesized by the oxathiaphospholane method. Their diastereomeric purity was assigned by means of enzymatic degradation with nuclease P1 and, independently, with snake venom phosphodiesterase. DNA-RNA hybrids formed by phosphorothioate oligonucleotides (PS-oligos) with the corresponding complementary pentadecaribonucleotide were treated with bacterial RNase H. The DNA-RNA complex containing the PS-oligo of [all-RP] configuration was found to be more susceptible to RNase H-dependent degradation of the pentadecaribonucleotide compared with hybrids containing either the [all-SP] counterpart or the so called 'random mixture of diastereomers' of the pentadeca(nucleoside phosphorothioate). This stereodependence of RNase H action was also observed for a polyribonucleotide (475 nt) hybridized with these phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. The results of melting studies of PS-oligo-RNA hybrids allowed a rationalization of the observed stereodifferentiation in terms of the higher stability of heterodimers formed between oligoribonucleotides and [all-RP]-oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioates), compared with the less stable heterodimers formed with [all-SP]-oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioates) or the random mixture of diastereomers.

Abstract
Short oligo(deoxynucleoside phosphorothioate)s were analyzed as a pool of individual diastereomeric species. The composition of such mixtures, determined by means of HPLC, indicates that consecutive couplings in commonly used phosphoramidite chemistry lead to increasing contents of the Rp isomer. Methods of analysis and mathematical basis for diastereomeric composition are discussed. Data presented include all 16 possible combinations of nucleosides in dinucleotide phosphorothioates, as well as examples of trimers and tetramers.

Abstract
Antisense phosphodiester and phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (23-residue or 24-residue oligodeoxynucleotides) were constructed for sequences of type-1 plasminogen-activator-inhibitor mRNA to assess their capability to modulate type-1 plasminogen-activator-inhibitor-mediated fibrinolysis. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were targeted at the mRNA sequence coding a signal peptide, at a part of the reactive center Ile342-Pro349, and at an internally translated segment Asn265-Leu272. The effect of antisense oligonucleotides on the concentration of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor in conditioned media and human endothelial cells was determined by the activity test with fibrin as a substrate, and by immunoprecipitation after metabolic labelling of cells with [35S]methionine. Three phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides were specifically inhibitory while phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides with the same sequence did not show any activity. Phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides 2, 4 and 6 inhibited the synthesis of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor in endothelial cells in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner. These data suggest that antisense oligodeoxynucleotides may be useful in the design of antithrombolytic therapeutics.

Abstract
To examine whether the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain Pro47-Asp87 is involved in the interaction of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) with platelets, we have expressed this domain in E. coli. The peptide fragment was produced from a plasmid expression vector as a fusion protein with beta-galactosidase Met1-Val444 at high yield in eight clones of E. coli. The fusion protein was purified and subjected to mild acid hydrolysis with formic acid, then the peptide Pro47-Asp87, identified by immunoblotting using specific antibodies to t-PA, was isolated by HPLC. After incubation with blood platelets spin labelled with 16-doxylstearic acid or 5-doxylstearic acid, the Pro47-Asp87 peptide fragment reduced fluidity of the membrane lipid bilayer to the same extent as did intact t-PA as indicated by ESR measurements. Our data suggest that the EGF-like domain of t-PA can directly interact with blood platelets and thus it seems to contain those sites of the t-PA molecule that bind the platelet membrane components.

Abstract
We have probed the contacts between EcoRI endonuclease and the central phosphate of its recognition site GAApTTC, using synthetic oligonucleotides containing single stereospecific Rp- or Sp-phosphorothioates (Ps). These substitutions produce subtle stereospecific effects on EcoRI endonuclease binding and cleavage. An Sp-Ps substitution in one strand of the DNA duplex improves binding free energy by -1.5 kcal/mol, whereas the Rp-Ps substitution has an unfavorable effect (+0.3 kcal/mol) on binding free energy. These effects derive principally from changes in the first order rate constants for dissociation of the enzyme-DNA complexes. The first order rate constants for strand scission are also affected, in that a strand containing Sp-Ps substitution is cleaved 2 to 3 times more rapidly than a strand containing a normal prochiral phosphate, whereas a strand containing Rp-Ps substitution is cleaved about 3 times slower than normal. As a result, single-strand substitutions produce pronounced asymmetry in the rates of cleavage of the two DNA strands, and this effect is exaggerated in an Rp,Sp-heteroduplex. Ethylation-interference footprinting indicates that none of the Ps substitutions cause any major change in contacts between endonuclease and DNA phosphates. When an Sp-Ps localizes P = O in the DNA major groove, a hydrogen-bonding interaction with the backbone amide-NH of Gly116 of the endonuclease is improved relative to that with a prochiral phosphate having intermediate P-O bond order and delocalized charge.
