Short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are common tools in molecular biology, however the development of RNAi-based therapeutics is limited by immunostimulatory and non-specific effects mediated by off-target RNA-binding proteins. PKR and ADAR1 are two proteins implicated in RNAi off-target effects, and share a common means of interaction with siRNAs through double-stranded RNA binding motifs (dsRBMs). Here we report the site-specific introduction of N2- propargyl 2-aminopurine into siRNAs and subsequent conversion to two bulky products via copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with either Nazidoacetyl-mannosamine azide or N-ethylpiperidine azide. We observed position-specific effects on RNAi activity for modifications made to both the passenger and guide strands. These findings are rationalized in light of recent structural studies of components of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and RISC-loading complex (RLC). The most active siRNAs were assayed for binding affinity to the RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) and adenosine deaminase that acts on RNA 1 (ADAR1). PKR binding was significantly reduced by multiple modifications, regardless of size, and ADAR1 binding was reduced in a position and size-sensitive manner. Our findings present a strategy for designing siRNAs that reduce off-target dsRBM-protein binding while retaining native RNAi activity.
