We report that the cationic porphyrin TmPyP4, which is known mainly as a DNA G-quadruplex stabilizer, unfolds an unusually stable all purine RNA G-quadruplex (M3Q) that is located in the 5'-UTR of MT3-MMP mRNA. When the interaction between TmPyP4 and M3Q was monitored by UV spectroscopy a 22-nm bathochromic shift and 75% hypochromicity of the porphin major Soret band was observed indicating direct binding of the two molecules. TmPyP4 disrupts folded M3Q in a concentration-dependent fashion as was observed by circular dichroism (CD), 1D (1)H NMR and native gel electrophoresis. Additionally, when TmPyP4 is present during the folding process it inhibits the M3Q RNA from adopting a G-quadruplex structure. Using a dual reporter gene construct that contained the M3Q sequence alone or the entire 5'-UTR of MT3-MMP mRNA, we report here that TmPyP4 can relieve the inhibitory effect of the M3Q G-quadruplex. However, the same concentrations of TmPyP4 failed to affect translation of a mutated construct. Thus, TmPyP4 has the ability to unfold an RNA G-quadruplex of extreme stability and modulate activity of a reporter gene presumably via the disruption of the G-quadruplex. 相似文献

We studied the parameters of binding of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(N-methyl-3-pyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP3) to the anti-parallel human telomeric G-quadruplex d(TTAGGG)4, the oligonucleotide dTTAGGGTTAGAG(TTAGGG)2 that does not form a quadruplex structure, as well as to the double stranded d(AC)8 x d(GT) and single stranded d(AC)8 and d(GT)8 DNAs. The analysis of absorption revealed that the binding constants and the number of DNA binding sites for TMPyP3 were d(AC)8 < d(GT)8 < d(AC)8 x d(GT)8 = d(TTAGGG)4 < dTTAGGGTTAGAG(TTAGGG)2. We demonstrated for the first time that the binding constant of TMPyP3 with the non-quadruplex chain dTTAGGGTTAGAG(TTAGGG)2 (1.3 x 10(7) M(-1)) is approximately 3 times bigger than the binding constant with the quadruplex d(TTAGGG)4 (4.6 x 10(6) M(-1)). Binding of two TMPyP3 molecules to d(TTAGGG)4 led to a decrease of thermostability of the G-quadruplex (deltaT(m) = -8 degrees C). Circular dichroism spectra of TMPyP3:d(TTAGGG)4 complexes revealed a shift of DNA structure from the G-quadruplex to an irregular chain. We hypothesize that partial destabilization of the telomeric G-quadruplex by TMPyP3 might be a reason for relatively low potency of this ligand as a telomerase inhibitor, as well as its marginal cytotoxicity for cultured tumor cells. 相似文献

5,10,15,20-Tetra-(N-methyl-3-pyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP3) is a DNA-binding derivative of porphyrins. A comparative study of
the binding of this ligand to biologically significant DNA structures was performed. For this purpose, the interactions of
TMPyP3 with the antiparallel telomeric G-quadruplex d(TTAGGG)4, oligonucleotide dTTAGGGTTAGAG(TTAGGG)2 (not forming a quadruplex structure), double-stranded d(AC)8 · d(GT)8, and single-stranded d(AC)8 and d(GT)8 DNA molecules have been studied. Analysis of absorption isotherms has demonstrated that the binding constants and the number
of binding sites for the complexes TMPyP3: DNA increase in the following order: d(AC)8 < d(GT)8 < d(AC)8 · d(GT)8 = d(TTAGGG)4 < dTTAGGGTTAGAG(TTAGGG)2. It has been for the first time demonstrated that the constant for TMPyP3 binding to unfolded dTTAGGGTTAGAG(TTAGGG)2 strand (1.3 × 107 M−1) is approximately threefold higher than for the G-quadruplex d(TTAGGG)4 (4.7 × 106 M−1). Binding of two TMPyP3 molecules to d(TTAGGG)4 decreases the thermostability of G-quadruplex (ΔTm = −8°C). Circular dichroism spectra of the TMPyP3 complexes with d(TTAGGG)4 suggest that the ligand partially unfolds the G-quadruplex structure. Structural destabilization of the telomeric G-quadruplex
by TMPyP3 can explain the relatively low activity of this ligand as a telomerase inhibitor and a low cytotoxicity for cultured
tumor cells. 相似文献

The G-quadruplex DNA structure has been suggested to be a potential target for anticancer therapies. Therefore, there is increasing interest in the development of drugs that could modulate the stability of G-quadruplex structures. In the current work, the interaction between the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA, 5′-GGT TGG TGT GGT TGG-3′), which can form an intramolecular G-quadruplex structure, and the porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21,23H-porphyrin tetratosylate (TmPyP4) was studied. The application of a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) detector-based method to study this kind of interaction was tested. Molecular absorption data recorded along the chromatographic runs were analyzed by means of multivariate data analysis methods. Moreover, biospecific interaction analysis (BIA) by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and melting and mole ratio experiments monitored by UV-visible molecular absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopies, were applied to confirm and expand the chromatographic studies. The results showed the formation of an interaction complex with a stoichiometry 1:1 (TmPyP4/TBA) and logarithm of the equilibrium constant equal to 5.7 ± 0.2. Melting and circular dichroism data reflected that the initial G-quadruplex structure of TBA is stabilized in the interaction complex, being slightly distorted by the presence of the ligand. 相似文献

Human telomeric DNA composed of (TTAGGG/CCCTAA)n repeats may form a classical Watson-Crick double helix. Each individual strand is also prone to quadruplex formation: the G-rich strand may adopt a G-quadruplex conformation involving G-quartets whereas the C-rich strand may fold into an i-motif based on intercalated C*C+ base pairs. Using an equimolar mixture of the telomeric oligonucleotides d[AGGG(TTAGGG)3] and d[(CCCTAA)3CCCT], we defined which structures existed and which would be the predominant species under a variety of experimental conditions. Under near-physiological conditions of pH, temperature and salt concentration, telomeric DNA was predominantly in a double-helix form. However, at lower pH values or higher temperatures, the G-quadruplex and/or the i-motif efficiently competed with the duplex. We also present kinetic and thermodynamic data for duplex association and for G-quadruplex/i-motif unfolding. 相似文献

BackgroundTelomere elongation by telomerase gets inhibited by G-quadruplex DNA found in its guanine rich region. Stabilization of G-quadruplex DNA upon ligand binding has evolved as a promising strategy to target cancer cells in which telomerase is over expressed.MethodsInteraction of anti-leukemic alkaloid, coralyne, to tetrameric parallel [d(TTGGGGT)]4 (Ttel7), [d(TTAGGGT)]4 (Htel7) and monomeric anti-parallel [dGGGG(TTGGGG)3] (Ttel22) G-quadruplex DNA has been studied using Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Titrations of coralyne with Ttel7 and Htel7 were monitored by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Solution structure of coralyne-Ttel7 complex was obtained by restrained Molecular Dynamics (rMD) simulations using distance restraints from 2D NOESY spectra. Thermal stabilization of DNA was determined by absorption, CD and 1H NMR.Results and conclusionsBinding of coralyne to Ttel7/Htel7 induces negative CD band at 315/300 nm. A significant upfield shift in all GNH, downfield shift in T2/T7 base protons and upfield shift (1.8 ppm) in coralyne protons indicates stacking interactions. 31P chemical shifts and NOE contacts of G3, G6, T2, T7 protons with methoxy protons reveal proximity of coralyne to T2pG3 and G6pT7 sites. Solution structure reveals stacking of coralyne at G6pT7 and T2pG3 steps with two methoxy groups of coralyne located in the grooves along with formation of a hydrogen bond. Binding stabilizes Ttel7/Htel7 by ~ 25–35 °C in 2:1 coralyne-Ttel7/Htel7 complex.General significanceThe present study is the first report on solution structure of coralyne-Ttel7 complex showing stacking of coralyne with terminal guanine tetrads leading to significant thermal stabilization, which may be responsible for telomerase inhibition. 相似文献

Structure-specific ligands are convenient tools for the recognition, targeting or probing of non-canonical DNA structures. Porphyrin derivatives exhibit a preference for interaction with G-quadruplex (G4) structures over canonical duplex DNA and are able to cause photoinducible damage to nucleic acids. Here, we show that Zn(II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-carboxymethyl-4-pyridinium)porphyrin (ZnP1) interacts with different conformations of the telomeric sequence d(TAGGG(TTAGGG)3) at submicromolar concentrations without any detectible disturbance of the particular fold. Among different folds, potassium (3+1) hybrid G4-structure. reveal the highest affinity to ZnP1. The pattern of guanine oxidation is specific for each telomeric DNA conformation and may serve as an additional tool for probing the G4 topology. The potassium (3+1) and parallel G4 conformations are more susceptible to light-induced oxidation than the sodium G4 conformation or double helix of the telomeric DNA. The major products of the guanine modifications are spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). ZnP1-induced oxidation of guanines results in the structural rearrangement of parallel and (3+1) G4 conformations yielding an antiparallel-like G4 conformation. The mechanism of the observed light-induced conformational changes is discussed. 相似文献

Human telomeres are comprised of d(TTAGGG) repeats that are capable of forming G-quadruplex DNA structures. Ligands that bind to and stabilize these G-quadruplex DNA structures are potential inhibitors of the cancer cell-associated enzyme telomerase. Other potential biological uses of G-quadruplex targeting ligands have been proposed. One particularly challenging aspect of the contemplated uses of G-quadruplex targeting ligands is their selectivity for G-quadruplex DNA versus double-stranded DNA structures. We have previously reported the observation that two structurally related 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide-based G-quadruplex DNA ligands, PIPER [N,N'-bis(2-(1-piperidino)ethyl)-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide] and Tel01 [N,N'-bis(3-(4-morpholino)propyl)-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide], have different levels of G-quadruplex DNA binding selectivity at pH 7 as determined by absorbance changes in the presence of different DNA structures [Kerwin, S. M., Chen, G., Kern, J. T., and Thomas, P. W. (2002) Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 12, 447-450]. Here we report that the less G-quadruplex DNA selective ligand PIPER can unwind double-stranded, closed circular plasmid DNA, as determined by a topoisomerase I assay. A model for the interaction of Tel01 with the G-quadruplex DNA structure formed by d(TAGGGTTA) was determined from NMR experiments. This model is similar to the previously published model for PIPER bound to the same G-quadruplex DNA and failed to provide a structural basis for the observed increased selectivity of Tel01 interaction with G-quadruplex DNA. In contrast, investigation into the aggregation state of Tel01 and PIPER as well as other 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide analogues bearing basic side chains demonstrates that ligand aggregation is correlated with G-quadruplex DNA binding selectivity. For all six analogues examined, those ligands that were aggregated at pH 7 in 70 mM potassium phosphate, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA buffer also demonstrated G-quadruplex DNA binding selectivity under these buffer conditions. Ligands that were not aggregated under these conditions display much lower levels of G-quadruplex DNA selectivity. The aggregation state of these ligands is extremely sensitive to the buffer pH. Tel01, which is aggregated at pH 7, is not aggregated at pH 6.4, where it demonstrates only modest G-quadruplex DNA binding selectivity, and PIPER in pH 8.5 buffer is both aggregated and highly G-quadruplex DNA-selective. To our knowledge, these studies demonstrate the first DNA structure selectivity as achieved through pH-mediated ligand aggregation. The potential impact of these findings on the selectivity of other classes of G-quadruplex DNA ligands is discussed. 相似文献

Linear heteroareneanthracenediones have been shown to interfere with DNA functions, thereby causing death of human tumor cells and their drug resistant counterparts. Here we report the interaction of our novel antiproliferative agent 4,11-bis[(2-{[acetimido]amino}ethyl)amino]anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione with telomeric DNA structures studied by isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism and UV absorption spectroscopy. New compound demonstrated a high affinity (Kass∼106 M−1) for human telomeric antiparallel quadruplex d(TTAGGG)4 and duplex d(TTAGGG)4∶d(CCCTAA)4. Importantly, a ∼100-fold higher affinity was determined for the ligand binding to an unordered oligonucleotide d(TTAGGG TTAGAG TTAGGG TTAGGG unable to form quadruplex structures. Moreover, in the presence of Na+ the compound caused dramatic conformational perturbation of the telomeric G-quadruplex, namely, almost complete disordering of G-quartets. Disorganization of a portion of G-quartets in the presence of K+ was also detected. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to illustrate how the binding of one molecule of the ligand might disrupt the G-quartet adjacent to the diagonal loop of telomeric G-quadruplex. Our results provide evidence for a non-trivial mode of alteration of G-quadruplex structure by tentative antiproliferative drugs. 相似文献

Telomeres consisting of tandem guanine-rich repeats can form secondary DNA structures called G-quadruplexes that represent potential targets for DNA repair enzymes. While G-quadruplexes interfere with DNA synthesis in vitro, the impact of G-quadruplex formation on telomeric repeat replication in human cells is not clear. We investigated the mutagenicity of telomeric repeats as a function of G-quadruplex folding opportunity and thermal stability using a shuttle vector mutagenesis assay. Since single-stranded DNA during lagging strand replication increases the opportunity for G-quadruplex folding, we tested vectors with G-rich sequences on the lagging versus the leading strand. Contrary to our prediction, vectors containing human [TTAGGG]10 repeats with a G-rich lagging strand were significantly less mutagenic than vectors with a G-rich leading strand, after replication in normal human cells. We show by UV melting experiments that G-quadruplexes from ciliates [TTGGGG]4 and [TTTTGGGG]4 are thermally more stable compared to human [TTAGGG]4. Consistent with this, replication of vectors with ciliate [TTGGGG]10 repeats yielded a 3-fold higher mutant rate compared to the human [TTAGGG]10 vectors. Furthermore, we observed significantly more mutagenic events in the ciliate repeats compared to the human repeats. Our data demonstrate that increased G-quadruplex opportunity (repeat orientation) in human telomeric repeats decreased mutagenicity, while increased thermal stability of telomeric G-quadruplexes was associated with increased mutagenicity. 相似文献

AbstractHerein we report the quantification of purine lesions arising from gamma-radiation sourced hydroxyl radicals (HO?) on tertiary dsDNA helical forms of supercoiled (SC), open circular (OC), and linear (L) conformation, along with single-stranded folded and non-folded sequences of guanine-rich DNA in selected G-quadruplex structures. We identify that DNA helical topology and folding plays major, and unexpected, roles in the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-oxo-dA), along with tandem-type purine lesions 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxyguanosine (5′,8-cdG) and 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxyadenosine (5′,8-cdA). SC, OC, and L dsDNA conformers together with folded and non-folded G-quadruplexes d[TGGGGT]4 (TG4T), d[AGGG(TTAGGG)3] (Tel22), and the mutated tel24 d[TTGGG(TTAGGG)3A] (mutTel24) were exposed to HO? radicals and purine lesions were then quantified via stable isotope dilution LC-MS/MS analysis. Purine oxidation in dsDNA follows L?>?OC???SC indicating greater damage towards the extended B-DNA topology. Conversely, G-quadruplex sequences were significantly more resistant toward purine oxidation in their unfolded states as compared with G-tetrad folded topologies; this effect is confirmed upon comparative analysis of Tel22 (~50% solution folded) and mutTel24 (~90% solution folded). In an effort to identify the accessibly of hydroxyl radicals to quadruplex purine nucleobases, G-quadruplex solvent cavities were then modeled at 1.33?Å with evidence suggesting that folded G-tetrads may act as potential oxidant traps to protect against chromosomal DNA damage. 相似文献

Sequence specificity of inter- and intramolecular G-quadruplex formation by human telomeric DNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Human telomeric DNA consists of tandem repeats of the sequence 5'-d(TTAGGG)-3'. Guanine-rich DNA, such as that seen at telomeres, forms G-quadruplex secondary structures. Alternative forms of G-quadruplex structures can have differential effects on activities involved in telomere maintenance. With this in mind, we analyzed the effect of sequence and length of human telomeric DNA on G-quadruplex structures by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and circular dichroism. Telomeric oligonucleotides shorter than four, 5'-d(TTAGGG)-3' repeats formed intermolecular G-quadruplexes. However, longer telomeric repeats formed intramolecular structures. Altering the 5'-d(TTAGGG)-3' to 5'-d(TTAGAG)-3' in any one of the repeats of 5'-d(TTAGGG)(4)-3' converted an intramolecular structure to intermolecular G-quadruplexes with varying degrees of parallel or anti-parallel-stranded character, depending on the length of incubation time and DNA sequence. These structures were most abundant in K(+)-containing buffers. Higher-order structures that exhibited ladders on polyacrylamide gels were observed only for oligonucleotides with the first telomeric repeat altered. Altering the sequence of 5'-d(TTAGGG)(8)-3' did not result in the substantial formation of intermolecular structures even when the oligonucleotide lacked four consecutive telomeric repeats. However, many of these intramolecular structures shared common features with intermolecular structures formed by the shorter oligonucleotides. The wide variability in structure formed by human telomeric sequence suggests that telomeric DNA structure can be easily modulated by proteins, oxidative damage, or point mutations resulting in conversion from one form of G-quadruplex to another. 相似文献

A series of trisubstituted naphthalimides have been synthesized and evaluated as telomeric G-quadruplex ligands by biophysical methods. Affinity for telomeric G-quadruplex AGGG(TTAGGG)(3) binding was first screened by fluorescence titrations. Subsequently, the interaction of the telomeric G-quadruplex with compounds showing the best affinity has been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry and UV-melting experiments. The two best compounds of the series tightly bind the telomeric quadruplex with a 2:1 drug/DNA stoichiometry. These derivatives have been further evaluated for their ability to inhibit telomerase by a TRAP assay and their pharmacological properties by treating melanoma (M14) and human lung cancer (A549) cell lines with increasing drug concentrations. A dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation was observed for all cellular lines during short-term treatment. 相似文献

When meso-tetrakis(3-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (m-TMPyP) formed a complex with poly[d(A-T)(2)], an intense bisignate excitonic CD in the Soret absorption region was observed. The excitonic CD of the m-TMPyP-poly[d(A-T)(2)] complex is unique in that no other combination of the related porphyrin, namely, meso-tetrakis(n-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (where n = 2, 4), and polynucleotide including calf thymus DNA, poly[d(G-C)(2)], poly[d(I-C)(2)], and poly(dA).poly(dT), exhibits a comparable CD spectrum. From the [drug]/[DNA] ratio-dependence of the intensity and the shape of the CD spectrum, this porphyrin species is assigned to an extensively aggregated form. The extensively aggregated porphyrin disperses in 1 h after mixing to form moderately stacked porphyrin at a low mixing ratio. The magnitude of linear dichroism of the extensively aggregated porphyrin was small and the sign was negative in the Soret band, which indicated that the molecular plane of porphyrin in the complex is strongly tilted. On the other hand, the molecular plane of porphyrin is almost parallel to the DNA base plane (perpendicular to the DNA helix axis) in the moderately stacked form. 相似文献

The human telomeric sequence d[AGGG(TTAGGG)(3)] has been found to form different types of G-quadruplex structures. NMR revealed that in Na(+) solution this 22 nucleotide (nt) sequence exhibits an antiparallel structure, whereas crystallographic studies in the presence of K(+) showed a dramatically different parallel structure. The structure of this 22 nt sequence in the presence of K(+) has drawn intense interest as the intracellular K(+) concentration is greater than that of Na(+). However, the question of the type of structure for the 22 nt telomeric sequence in K(+) solution remains open. In this study, we substituted the Gs in the sequence with 8-bromoguanine and examined the resultant structures and thermal stabilities by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The results suggest that the 22 nt in K(+) solution exists as a mixture of mixed-parallel/antiparallel and chair-type G-quadruplex. To date, the exact structure of human telomeric G-quadruplex in K(+) solution is extremely controversial. The present study provides valuable information for understanding the discrepancies between the crystal and solution studies. We discuss the possible implications of the structure in understanding higher-order telomeric DNA structure and T-loop formation. 相似文献

The discovery of uncommon DNA structures and speculation about their potential functions in genes has brought attention to specific DNA structure recognition. G-quadruplexes are four-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by G-rich DNA (or RNA) sequences. G-rich sequences with a high potential to form G-quadruplexes have been found in many important genomic regions. Porphyrin derivatives with cationic side arm substituents are important G-quadruplex-binding ligands. For example, 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (TMPyP4), interacts strongly with G-quadruplexes, but has poor selectivity for G-quadruplex versus duplex DNA. To increase the G-quadruplex recognition specificity, a new cationic porphyrin derivative, 5,10,15,20-tetra-{4-[2-(1-methyl-1-piperidinyl)ethoxy]phenyl} porphyrin (TMPipEOPP), with large side arm substituents was synthesized, and the interactions between TMPipEOPP and different DNA structures were compared. The results show that G-quadruplexes cause large changes in the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of TMPipEOPP, but duplex and single-stranded DNAs do not, indicating that TMPipEOPP can be developed as a highly specific optical probe for discriminating G-quadruplex from duplex and single-stranded DNA. Visual discrimination is also possible. Job plot and Scatchard analysis suggest that a complicated binding interaction occurs between TMPipEOPP and G-quadruplexes. At a low [G-quadruplex]/[TMPipEOPP] ratio, one G-quadruplex binds two TMPipEOPP molecules by end-stacking and outside binding modes. At a high [G-quadruplex]/[TMPipEOPP] ratio, two G-quadruplexes bind to one TMPipEOPP molecule in a sandwich-like end-stacking mode. 相似文献

cis-Platinum induced distortions in DNA. Conformational analysis of d(GpCpG) and cis-pt(NH3)2[d(GpCpG)], studied by 500-MHz NMR 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Proton NMR studies at 500 MHz in aqueous solution were carried out on the G-G chelated deoxytrinucleosidediphosphate platinum complex cis-Pt(NH3)2[d(GpCpG], on the uncoordinated trinucleotide d(GpCpG) and on the constituent monomers cis-Pt(NH3)2[d(Gp)]2, cis-Pt(NH3)2[d(pG)]2, d(Gp), d(pCp) and d(pG). Complete NMR spectral assignments are given and chemical shifts and coupling constants are analysed to obtain an impression of the detailed structure of d(GpCpG) and the distortion of the structure due to chelation with [cis-Pt(NH3)2]2+. Platination of the guanosine monophosphates affects the sugar conformational equilibrium to favour the N conformation of the deoxyribose ring. This feature is also apparent in ribose mononucleotides and is possibly caused by an increased anomeric effect. In cis-Pt(NH3)2[d(pG)]2 the phase angle of pseudorotation of the S-type sugar ring is 20 degrees higher than in 'free' d(pG) which might be an indication for an ionic interaction between the positive platinum and the negatively charged phosphate. It appears that d(GpCpG) reverts from a predominantly random coil to a normal right-handed B-DNA-like single-helical structure at lower temperatures, whereas the conformational features of cis-Pt(NH3)2[d(GpCpG)] are largely temperature-independent. In the latter compound much conformational freedom along the backbone angles is seen. The cytosine protons and deoxyribose protons exhibit almost no shielding effect as should normally be exerted by the guanine bases in stacking positions. This is interpreted in terms of a 'turning away' of the cytosine residue from both chelating guanines. Conformational features of cis-Pt(NH3)2[d(GpCpG)[ are compared with the 'bulge-out' of the ribose-trinucleotide m6(2)ApUpm6(2)A. 相似文献

We herein report on the formation and high-resolution NMR solution-state structure determination of a G-quadruplex adopted by d[G(3)ATG(3)ACACAG(4)ACG(3)] comprised of four G-tracts with the third one consisting of four guanines that are intervened with non-G streches of different lengths. A single intramolecular antiparallel (3+1) G-quadruplex exhibits three stacked G-quartets connected with propeller, diagonal and edgewise loops of different lengths. The propeller and edgewise loops are well structured, whereas the longer diagonal loop is more flexible. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first high-resolution G-quadruplex structure where all of the three main loop types are present. 相似文献

G-rich telomeric DNA sequences can form G-quadruplex structures. The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1)
and a shortened derivative (UP1) are active in telomere length regulation, and it has been reported that UP1 can unwind G-quadruplex
structures. Here, we investigate the interaction of hnRNP A1 with G-quadruplex DNA structures containing the human telomere
repeat (TTAGGG) by gel retardation assays, ensemble fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy, and single molecule
FRET microscopy. Our biochemical experiments show that hnRNP A1 binds well to the G-quadruplex telomeric DNA. Ensemble and
single molecule FRET measurements provide further insight into molecular conformation: the telomeric DNA overhang is found
to be in a folded state in the absence of hnRNP A1 and to remain predominantly in a compact state when complexed with hnRNP
A1. This finding is in contrast to the previously reported crystal structures of UP1-telomere DNA complexes where the DNA
oligo within the protein-DNA complex is in a fully open conformation. 相似文献
