Mammalian uracil-DNA glycosylases (UNG) excise deleterious uracil residues from their genomic DNA.

    Abstract Misincorporation of uracil or spontaneous cytidine deamination is a common mutagenic insult to DNA. Herpesviruses encode a viral uracil-DNA glycosylase (vUNG) and a viral dUTPase (vDUT), each with enzymatic and nonenzymatic functions. However, the coordinated roles of these enzymatic activities in gammaherpesvirus pathogenesis and viral genomic stability have not been defined. In addition, potential compensation by the host UNG has not been examined

    Abstract Prevalence of influenza A virus (IAV) infections in northern-breeding waterfowl has previously been reported to reach an annual peak during late summer or autumn; however, little is known about IAV infection dynamics in waterfowl populations persisting at high-latitude regions such as Alaska, during winter. We captured mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) throughout the non-breeding season (August-April) of 2012-2015 in Fairbanks and Anchorage, the two largest cities in Alaska, to assess patterns of IAV infection and antibody production using molecular methods and a standard serologic assay. In addition, we used virus isolation, genetic sequencing, and a virus microneutralization assay to characterize viral subtypes and to evaluate the immune response of mallards captured on multiple occasions through time. We captured 923 mallards during three successive sampling years: Fairbanks in 2012/13 and 2013/14, and Anchorage in 2014/15. Prevalence varied by age, season, and year/site with high and relatively stable estimates throughout the non-breeding season. Infected birds were detected in all locations/seasons except early-winter in Fairbanks during 2013/14. IAVs with 17 combinations of hemagglutinin (H1-5, H7-9, H11, H12) and neuraminidase (N1-6, N8, N9) subtypes were isolated. Antibodies to IAVs were detected throughout autumn and winter for all sampling locations and years, however, seroprevalence was higher among adults and varied among years. Mallards exhibited individual heterogeneity with regard to immune response, providing instances of both seroconversion and seroreversion to detected viral subtypes. The probability that an individual transitioned from one serostatus to another varied by age, with juvenile mallards having higher rates of seroconversion and seroreversion than adults. Our study provides evidence that a diversity of IAVs circulate in populations of mallards wintering at urban locations in Alaska, and we suggest waterfowl wintering at high-latitudes may play an important role in maintenance of viruses across breeding seasons.

    Abstract A chemoselective reaction between oxyamines and unprotected, unactivated reducing sugars was used to construct for the first time a panel of linkage-diversified neoglycosides. This panel of digitoxin analogs included potent and selective tumor cytotoxins; cytotoxicity was dependent on the structure of the glycosidic linkage. These results validate linkage diversification through neoglycosylation as a unique and simple strategy to powerfully complement existing methods for the optimization of glycoconjugates.

    Abstract Cardenolides such as digitoxin have been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth, to reduce cancer metastasis, and to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Among the most potent digitoxin-based cytotoxins identified to date are MeON-neoglycosides generated via oxyamine neoglycosylation. Here, we report our studies of oxyamine neoglycosylation aimed at facilitating the elucidation of linkage-diversified digitoxin neoglycoside structure-activity relationships. We identified conditions suitable for the convenient synthesis of digitoxin neoglycosides and found that sugar structure, rather than RON-glycosidic linkage, exerts the strongest influence on neoglycoside yield and stereochemistry. We synthesized a library of digitoxin neoglycosides and assessed their cytotoxicity against eight human cancer cell lines. Consistent with previous findings, our data show that the structure of RON-neoglycosidic linkages influences both the potency and selectivity of digitoxin neoglycosides.
