Abstract
The course of hydrolysis of 3′-deoxy-3′-thioinosylyl-(3′ → 5′)-uridine (IspU) has been followed by HPLC over a wide pH-range. Two reactions of the internucleosidic thiophosphate linkage compete: (i) cleavage yielding thioinosine monophosphates and uridine, and (ii) isomerization to the 2′,5′-isomer of IspU. Under very acidic conditions, even acid-catalyzed depurination of the inosine moiety is observed. The stability of the thiophosphate linkage and the mechanisms of its rupture are discussed.Keywords
