The potential use of {alpha}-ß-anomeric duplex oligonucleotides to inhibit transcription factor activity by the decoy approach is investigated in this report. Indeed, several {alpha} ß-anomeric heteroduplexes display a sequence-specific interaction with the p50 subunit of the transcription factor NFxB. Used in a decoy approach, these duplexes interact strongly enough with this transcription factor to modulate the expression of a reporter gene, under the control of NFxB. However, all the a-jS-anomeric heteroduplexes do not interact with the p50 subunit; the sequence of the chirally natural ß-anomeric strand may explain the different recognition properties of the protein. The analysis of the appropriate ß-anomeric sequences is consistent with a preferential interaction of the p50 subunit with one strand of double-stranded DNA.
