Common Name2',3'-Cyclic nucleotide
Description2',3'-Cyclic nucleotide is a class of cyclic nucleotide that plays a significant role in various biochemical pathways. Chemically, it consists of a ribose sugar with a cyclic phosphate group formed between the 2' and 3' hydroxyl groups, which distinguishes it from linear nucleotides. This structure allows for unique interactions in cellular signaling and metabolism. In biological contexts, 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides are involved in processes such as RNA polymerization; studies have shown that they can polymerize efficiently under conditions mimicking prebiotic environments, specifically through wet-dry cycling, without the need for external activators (PMID:41019123 ). Additionally, they are implicated in the expression of specific genes, as evidenced by the distinct patterns exhibited by oligodendrocyte-specific promoters, including the 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) promoter, which suggests broader therapeutic applicability in neurological contexts (PMID:41036104 ). This highlights the potential of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides in both fundamental biological processes and therapeutic developments.
