The thermal stabilities of the duplexes formed between 4'-thio-modified oligodeoxynucleotides and their DNA and RNA complementary strands were determined and compared with those of the corresponding unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides. A 16mer oligodeoxynucleotide containing 10 contiguous 4'-thiothymidylate modifications formed a less stable duplex with the DNA target (deltaTm/modification -1.0 degrees C) than the corresponding unmodified oligodeoxynucleotide. However, when the same oligodeoxynucleotide was bound to the corresponding RNA target, a small increase in Tm was observed (deltaTm/modification +0.16 degrees C) when compared with the unmodified duplex. A study to identify the specificity of an oligodeoxynucleotide containing a 4'-thiothymidylate modification when forming a duplex with DNA or RNA containing a single mismatch opposite the modification found the resulting Tms to be almost identical to the wild-type duplexes, demonstrating that the 4'-thio-modification in oligodeoxynucleotides has no deleterious effect on specificity. The nuclease stability of 4'-thio-modified oligodeoxynucleotides was examined using snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVPD) and nuclease S1. No significant resistance to degradation by the exonuclease SVPD was observed when compared with the corresponding unmodified oligodeoxynucleotide. However, 4'-thio-modified oligodeoxynucleotides were found to be highly resistant to degradation by the endonuclease S1. It was also demonstrated that 4'-thio-modified oligodeoxynucleotides elicit Escherichia coli RNase H hydrolysis of the RNA target only at high enzyme concentration.
