This study investigates the interaction between synthesized chiral benzyladenine derivatives and cytokinin receptors in Arabidopsis thaliana. The results show that the chirality of the compounds plays a significant role in their affinity to specific cytokinin receptors. Several synthetic compounds exhibit specific cytokinin activity, while others demonstrate receptor-specific, chirality-dependent anticytokinin properties.
Cytokinins, classical phytohormones, affect all stages of plant ontogenesis, but their application in agriculture is limited because of the lack of appropriate ligands, including those specific for individual cytokinin receptors. In this work, a series of chiral N-6-benzyladenine derivatives were studied as potential cytokinins or anticytokinins. All compounds contained a methyl group at the alpha-carbon atom of the benzyl moiety, making them R- or S-enantiomers. Four pairs of chiral nucleobases and corresponding ribonucleosides containing various substituents at the C2 position of adenine heterocycle were synthesized. A nucleophilic substitution reaction by secondary optically active amines was used. A strong influence of the chirality of studied compounds on their interaction with individual cytokinin receptors of Arabidopsis thaliana was uncovered in in vivo and in vitro assays. The AHK2 and CRE1/AHK4 receptors were shown to have low affinity for the studied S-nucleobases while the AHK3 receptor exhibited significant affinity for most of them. Thereby, three synthetic AHK3-specific cytokinins were discovered: N-6-((S)-alpha-methylbenzyl)adenine (S-MBA), 2-fluoro,N-6-((S)-alpha-methylbenzyl)adenine (S-FMBA) and 2-chloro,N-6-((S)-alpha-methylbenzyl)adenine (S-CMBA). Interaction patterns between individual receptors and specific enantiomers were rationalized by structure analysis and molecular docking. Two other S-enantiomers (N-6-((S)-alpha-methylbenzyl)adenosine, 2-amino,N-6-((S)-alpha-methylbenzyl)adenosine) were found to exhibit receptor-specific and chirality-dependent anticytokinin properties.
