Oxidized phospholipids regulate amino acid metabolism through MTHFD2 to facilitate nucleotide release in endothelial cells

Nature Communications, 2018
During atherosclerosis, endothelial cells release purines in response to oxidized phospholipids. Here, Hitzel et al. show that oxidized phospholipids activate an MTHFD2-regulated gene network in endothelial cells which reprograms amino acid metabolism ...

Modification of Purine and Pyrimidine Nucleosides by Direct C-H Bond Activation

Molecules, 2015
Transition metal-catalyzed modifications of the activated heterocyclic bases of nucleosides as well as DNA or RNA fragments employing traditional cross-coupling methods have been well-established in nucleic acid chemistry.

Synthesis of Adenine Nucleosides with a Reactive (β-Iodovinyl)sulfone or (β-Keto)sulfone Group at the C2 Position and Their Polymerase-Catalyzed Incorporation into DNA

Molecules
Iodosulfonylation of an ethynyl group at the C2 position of 2′-deoxyadenosine or adenosine with TsI provides (E)-2-(β-iodovinyl)sulfones. The latter undergo nucleophilic substitution with amines via an addition–elimination to give β-sulfonylvinylamines ...
