Description:
FLUOROGENIC NUCLEOSIDES RELATED APPLICATIONS [001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application, U.S.S.N.63/346,507, filed May 27, 2022, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT [002] This invention was made with government support under DE-FG02-02ER63445 awarded by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The government has certain rights in this invention. BACKGROUND [003] A common drawback to labeling molecular targets such as small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids with fluorescent probes is the general inability to observe real‐time labeling due to high background fluorescence. In many instances, washing steps are required for labeling protocols. DNA and RNA oligonucleotides are commonly labeled with fluorescent tags and are used in a wide array of applications, such as sequencing (e.g., next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescent in-situ sequencing), biosensing/biomarker sensing (e.g., aptamers), drug delivery/localization (e.g., oligonucleotide therapeutics, mRNA therapeutics/vaccines), and microscopy/imaging (e.g., super-resolution microscopy, in situ imaging). However, due to drawbacks such as high background fluorescence, DNA and RNA oligonucleotides labeled with fluorescent tags are often poor imaging agents and often fail to provide the desired results. SUMMARY [004] Fluorogenic probes are a class of chemical sensors that undergo a change (e.g., increase) in their fluorescence emission intensity and/or fluorescence lifetime upon the occurrence of a particular physical or chemical event (i.e., they are “conditionally fluorescent”). Examples of such events are target binding or local solvent dipole or viscosity change. In one aspect, provided herein are fluorogenic nucleosides, including fluorogenic nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) (e.g., fluorogenic reversible terminator nucleoside triphosphates), which can be used in the synthesis of fluorogenic oligonucleotides (e.g., fluorogenic DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, such as fluorogenic RNA aptamers). The fluorogenic oligonucleotides (e.g., fluorogenic DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, e.g., fluorogenic RNA aptamers) can be used as fluorogenic probes to detect targets (e.g., antigens, biomarkers). [005] The following are examples of fluorogenic reversible terminator NTPs provided herein: , , and salts and tautomers thereof, wherein TP is a triphosphate group. DEFINITIONS General Definitions [006] The following definitions are general terms used throughout the present application. [007] The term “fluorogenic” refers to a molecular entity (e.g., small molecule or oligonucleotide) that is conditionally fluorescent, i.e., that exhibits a change (e.g., increase) in its fluorescence emission intensity and/or fluorescence lifetime upon the occurrence of a particular physical or chemical event. Examples of such events are protein binding or local solvent dipole or viscosity change. A target-binding molecule (e.g., a fluorogenic RNA or DNA aptamer) comprising a fluorogenic small molecule can be used to detect binding of the target-binding molecule to the target (e.g., to detect the presence of said target). The target- binding molecule may specifically bind the target. Upon binding of the target-binding molecule to the target, the fluorescence of the fluorogenic small molecule may increase or decrease, thereby “sensing” the target. In addition or alternatively, the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorogenic small molecule may detectably change. In other words, a change (e.g., in fluorescence or change in fluorescence lifetime of the target-binding molecule (e.g., a fluorogenic RNA aptamer) is indicative of binding of the target-binding molecule to the target, and therefore indicative of the presence of the target. [008] The term “fluorogenic small molecule” refers to a small molecule that is fluorogenic, i.e., conditionally fluorescent. [009] “Fluorescence” is the visible or invisible emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It can be measured, e.g., by fluorescence microscopy. In certain embodiments, fluorescence is visible and can be detected by the naked eye. In certain embodiments, the detection is colorimetric. [010] Fluorogenic NTPs and oligonucleotides provided herein have distinct fluorescence lifetime signatures, which can be detected, e.g., by a fluorescence lifetime microscopy. “Fluorescence lifetime” (FLT) is the time a fluorophore spends in the excited state before emitting a photon and returning to the ground state. Similar to fluorescence intensity, fluorogenic NTPs and oligonucleotides provided herein can also significantly change their fluorescence lifetimes based on the microenvironment they are in. For example, when a fluorogenic NTP or oligonucleotide is free in solution and unconstrained, it may be “darker” and typically will have a shorter fluorescence lifetime. On the other hand, when the fluorogenic NTP or oligonucleotide is physically restricted (e.g., in higher viscosity environments and/or upon binding to a target), it may become brighter and/or show a signature, longer fluorescence lifetime. [011] The term “target” or “target molecule” are used interchangeably, and as used herein refer any molecule or molecular structure (e.g., protein, nucleic acid, small molecule) which is capable of being bound by an oligonucleotide (e.g., an aptamer, e.g., an RNA aptamer). [012] The term “small molecule” refers to molecules, whether naturally occurring or artificially created (e.g., via chemical synthesis) that have a relatively low molecular weight. Typically, a small molecule is an organic compound (e.g., it contains carbon). The small molecule may contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds, stereocenters, and other functional groups (e.g., amines, hydroxyl, carbonyls, and heterocyclic rings, etc.). In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is not more than about 1,000 g/mol, not more than about 900 g/mol, not more than about 800 g/mol, not more than about 700 g/mol, not more than about 600 g/mol, not more than about 500 g/mol, not more than about 400 g/mol, not more than about 300 g/mol, not more than about 200 g/mol, or not more than about 100 g/mol. In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is at least about 100 g/mol, at least about 200 g/mol, at least about 300 g/mol, at least about 400 g/mol, at least about 500 g/mol, at least about 600 g/mol, at least about 700 g/mol, at least about 800 g/mol, or at least about 900 g/mol, or at least about 1,000 g/mol. Combinations of the above ranges (e.g., at least about 200 g/mol and not more than about 500 g/mol) are also possible. [013] As used herein, the term “conjugated” when used with respect to two or more molecules, means that the molecules are physically associated or connected with one another, either directly (i.e., via a covalent bond) or via one or more additional moieties that serves as a linking agent (i.e., “linker”), to form a structure that is sufficiently stable so that the moieties remain physically associated under the conditions in which the structure is used, e.g., physiological conditions. [014] As used herein, the term “polymerase” generally refers to an enzyme that is capable of synthesizing RNA or DNA oligonucleotides.

For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E.L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw–Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, S.H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The disclosure additionally encompasses peptides as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers. [022] The term “tautomers” or “tautomeric” refers to two or more interconvertible compounds resulting from at least one migration of a hydrogen atom or electron lone pair, and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol, amide-to-imide, lactam-to-lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations. Compounds described herein are provided in any and all tautomeric forms. Example of tautomers resulting from the delocalization of electrons (e.g., resonance structures) are shown below: . [023] In a formula, the bond is a single bond, the dashed line is a single bond or absent, and the bond or is a single or double bond. Additionally, the bond or is a double or triple bond. [024] Unless otherwise provided, formulae and structures depicted herein include peptides that do not include isotopically enriched atoms, and also include peptides that include isotopically enriched atoms (“isotopically labeled derivatives”). For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, replacement of 19 F with 18 F, or the replacement of a carbon by a 13 C- or 14 C-enriched carbon are within the scope of the disclosure. Such peptides are useful, for example, as analytical tools or probes in biological assays. The term “isotopes” refers to variants of a particular chemical element such that, while all isotopes of a given element share the same number of protons in each atom of the element, those isotopes differ in the number of neutrons.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [051] The accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this specification, illustrate several embodiments of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. [052] FIG.1 shows an exemplary generic structure of fluorogenic reversible terminator nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs). [053] FIGs.2A-2C show the use of template-independent, enzymatic oligonucleotide synthesis to prepare a “light up” oligonucleotide that is modified with a fluorogenic small molecule. FIG.2A shows an overview of enzymatic oligonucleotide synthesis (EOS). One cycle consists of an extension (the addition of a reversible terminator NTP) followed by a mild deblocking step. FIG.2B shows examples of building blocks used in EOS to prepare “light-up” aptamers. Upon the introduction of the target, the oligonucleotide rigidifies resulting in an enhancment of fluorescence (FIG.2C). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS [054] Provided herein are fluorogenic nucleosides, including fluorogenic nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) (e.g., fluorogenic reversible terminator NTPs), which can be used in the synthesis of fluorogenically-labeled DNA and RNA oligonucleotides (e.g., fluorogenic RNA aptamers). The fluorogenic NTPs and fluorogenic oligonucleotides comprising them provided herein can change (e.g., increase) fluorescence emission intensity and/or fluorescence lifetime upon the occurrence of a particular physical or chemical event (i.e., they are “conditionally fluorescent”). Examples of such events are target binding or local solvent dipole or viscosity change. Therefore, the fluorogenic NTPs and fluorogenic oligonucleotides provided herein can be used in a variety of applications, such as sequencing (e.g., next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescent in-situ sequencing), biosensing/biomarker sensing (e.g., aptamers), drug delivery/localization (e.g., oligonucleotide therapeutics, mRNA therapeutics/vaccines), and microscopy/imaging (e.g., super-resolution microscopy, in situ imaging). Fluorogenic Nucleoside Triphosphates (NTPs) [055] Provided herein are fluorogenic nucleosides comprising a fluorogenic small molecule. In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic nucleoside comprises a nucleoside monophosphate. In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic nucleoside comprises a nucleoside diphosphate.

[056] Provided herein are nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) comprising a fluorogenic small molecule (i.e., “fluorogenic NTPs”). In certain embodiments, the NTP comprises a ribose nucleoside (i.e., the sugar moiety of the NTP is ribose or a modified ribose, i.e., a “ribonucleotide triphosphate”). As described herein, the fluorogenic NTPs provided are conditionally fluorescent. [057] The fluorogenic small molecule may be conjugated to the base, sugar, phosphate (e.g., mono-, di-, or triphosphate), or other moiety of the nucleoside.

[108] In certain embodiments, a fluorogenic NTP provided herein is selected from: and salts and tautomers thereof, wherein TP is a triphosphate group. In certain embodiments, TP can be hydrogen, or a mono-, di-, or triphosphate group. Fluorogenic Oligonucleotide Synthesis [109] The fluorogenic NTPs provided herein can be used in the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of oligonucleotides (e.g., DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, DNA or RNA aptamers). [110] In one aspect, provided herein are methods for the synthesis of oligonucleotides (e.g., RNA or DNA oligonucleotides, e.g., RNA aptamers) wherein a polymerase (e.g., poly(N) polymerase, such as a poly(U) polymerase) incorporates one or more fluorogenic NTPs onto an initiator oligonucleotide via a terminal transferase. In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for the template-independent synthesis of an RNA oligonucleotide (e.g., an RNA aptamer), the method comprising: (a) providing an initiator oligonucleotide, wherein the initiator oligonucleotide is single-stranded RNA; (b) providing a polymerase; and (c) combining the initiator oligonucleotide, the polymerase, and a fluorogenic NTP described herein (e.g., a fluorogenic 2′- and/or 3′-reversible terminator NTP) under conditions sufficient for the addition of the NTP to the 3′ end of the initiator oligonucleotide. [111] In certain embodiments, when the fluorogenic NTP is a fluorogenic 2′- and/or 3′- reversible terminator NTP, the method further comprises a step of: (d) deprotecting the 2′- and/or 3′-reversible terminator group at the 3′ end of the oligonucleotide formed in step (c). [112] In certain embodiments, the method further comprises a step of: (e) incorporating one or more nucleoside triphosphates to the 3′ end of the RNA oligonucleotide formed in step (d). [113] Use of fluorogenic reversible terminator NTPs (e.g., 2′-O- or 3′-O-protected reversible terminator NTPs) allow (n+1) incorporation of the fluorogenic NTP. Incorporation of a reversible terminator NTP (e.g., a 2′-O- or 3′-O-protected reversible terminator NTPs) reversibly alters the binding affinity of the polymerase (e.g., a poly(N) polymerase, such as poly(U) polymerase) to the extended initiator oligonucleotide. This change in binding affinity results in the termination of further nucleotide addition, producing an (n+1) oligonucleotide product that can be further extended after the modified group is restored to its natural state (e.g., a 2′- or 3′-OH group) via mild deprotection chemistry. An “(n+1) oligonucleotide” is a product wherein a single nucleotide has been added to the initiator sequence. These methods are exemplified in the generic schemes shown in FIGs.2A-2C. [114] In certain embodiments, the polymerase used in the methods described herein is a poly(N) polymerase. Examples of polymerases are provided herein, including but not limited to the following.

Therefore, in certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide is covalently linked to a solid support through a cleavable linker. [139] The initiator oligonucleotides can comprise other modification such as fluorophores. In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a 5′-fluorophore. In certain embodiments, the fluorophore is Cy5 or FAM. The initiator oligonucleotide may also comprise one or more additional functional groups or handles for bioconjugation. In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide is functionalized with biotin. [140] In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a 5′-phosphate (e.g., 5′- mono-, di-, or triphosphate). In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a 5′-monophosphate. In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a 5′- diphosphate. In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a 5′- triphosphate. [141] In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a 5′-capping group (i.e., 5′ cap). [142] In certain embodiments, the 5′ cap can be a mono-nucleotide (1-nt), di-nucleotide (2- nt), tri-nucleotide (3-nt), or N-nucleotide (i.e., of any oligonucleotide length that would be useful). The 5′ cap may also comprise a combination of one or more natural and/or non- natural (e.g., modified) nucleoside bases, including those described herein. [143] In certain embodiments, the 5′ cap is a guanine cap. In certain embodiments, the 5′ cap is a 7-methylguanylate cap (m 7 G). A In certain embodiments, the guanine or m 7 G cap includes a guanine nucleotide connected to the oligonucleotide via a 5′ to 5′ triphosphate linkage. In certain embodiments, the 5′ cap includes methylation of the 2′ hydroxy-groups of the first and/or second 2 ribose sugars of the 5′ end of the oligonucleotide. [144] In certain embodiments, the 5′-cap is a 5′-trimethylguanosine cap or a 5′- monomethylphosphate cap. In other embodiments, the 5′ cap is a NAD + , NADH, or 3′- dephospho-coenzyme A cap. [145] In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a primer site for reverse transcription of the synthesized RNA oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, the initiator oligonucleotide comprises a primer site for PCR amplification. Fluorogenic Oligonucleotides and Methods [146] Provided herein are oligonucleotides comprising one or more fluorogenic NTPs described herein (i.e., “fluorogenic oligonucleotides”). In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic oligonucleotide is prepared by a method of the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic oligonucleotide comprises one (1) fluorogenic NTP described herein. In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic oligonucleotide comprises more than one (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, or more) fluorogenic NTP described herein. [147] In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic oligonucleotide is an RNA oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic oligonucleotide is a DNA oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic oligonucleotide is an RNA aptamer (i.e., “fluorogenic RNA aptamer”). [148] As used herein, “aptamer” refers to a single-stranded oligonucleotide capable of folding into a defined architecture and binding to a target (e.g., protein). In certain embodiments, the fluorogenic RNA aptamers are “light-up” aptamers which, upon contacting a target, the RNA aptamer rigidifies, resulting in a change (e.g., increase) in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime. [149] Provided herein are methods of detecting a target comprising: (i) contacting a target with a fluorogenic oligonucleotide (e.g., a fluorogenic RNA aptamer) described herein; and (ii) measuring or observing the fluorescence of the fluorogenic oligonucleotide (e.g., a fluorogenic RNA aptamer) and/or measuring or observing a change in the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorogenic oligonucleotide (e.g., a fluorogenic RNA aptamer). [150] Examples of targets detectable by the methods provided herein include, but are not limited to, proteins, biomarkers, pathogens, drugs, drug conjugates, nucleic acids, small molecules, and metabolites. [151] In certain embodiments of the methods provided herein, a change in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime (e.g., an increase in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime) is observed instantaneously after the contacting step. In certain embodiments, the change in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime (e.g., increase in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime) is observed within less than 1 second after the contacting step. In certain embodiments, the change in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime (e.g., increase in fluorescence and/or fluorescence lifetime) is observed within less than 2500, 2000, 1500, 1000, 750, 500, or 250 milliseconds (ms) after the contacting step. In certain embodiments, the change is an increase in fluorescence and/or fluorescent lifetime. In certain embodiments, an increase in fluorescence of at least 1-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, 25-fold, 30-fold, 35-fold, 40-fold, 45-fold, 50-fold, 100-fold, 150-fold, 200-fold, 300-fold, 400-fold, or 500- fold is observed. [152] In some embodiments, the methods of detecting provided herein can be used to observe the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and/or excretion (ADME) of therapeutic agents (e.g., drugs) in vivo. The methods of detecting provided herein can also be used for in vitro applications including, but not limited to, lateral flow assays. In a lateral flow assay, in certain embodiments, a fluorogenic RNA aptamer provided herein is immobilized on a solid support (e.g., a plate) and liquid containing the target substance is flowed over the solid support (e.g., plate). [153] Also provided herein are kits comprising one or more fluorogenic NTPs and/or one or more fluorogenic oligonucleotides (e.g., fluorogenic RNA aptamers) provided herein. The kits are useful in any one of the methods described herein (e.g., methods of preparing RNA oligonucleotides, methods of detecting a target). EXAMPLES [154] Fluorogenic NTPs described herein can be incorporated into oligonucleotides using materials and methods described in, e.g., International PCT Application Publication No. WO 2020/077227, published April 16, 2020, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. [155] As shown in FIGs.2A-2C, the fluorogenic NTPs template-independent, enzymatic oligonucleotide synthesis to prepare a “light up” oligonucleotide that is modified with a fluorogenic small molecule. FIG.2A shows an overview of enzymatic oligonucleotide synthesis (EOS). One cycle consists of an extension (the addition of a reversible terminator NTP) followed by a mild deblocking. FIG.2B shows examples of building blocks used in EOS to prepare “light-up” aptamers. Upon the introduction of the target, the oligonucleotide rigidifies resulting in an enhancment of fluorescence (FIG.2C). See, e.g., Ryckelynck et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci.2018, 19(1), 44.
