The G-quadruplex nucleic acid structural motif is a target for designing molecules with potential anticancer properties. To achieve therapeutic selectivity by targeting the G-quadruplex, the molecules must be able to differentiate between the DNA of different G-quadruplexes. We recently reported that the Arg-Gly-Gly repeat (RGG) of the C-terminus in Ewing's sarcoma protein (EWS), which is a group of dominant oncogenes that arise due to chromosomal translocations, is capable of binding to G-quadruplex telomere DNA and RNA via arginine residues and stabilize the G-quadruplex DNA form in vitro. Here, we show that the RGG of EWS binds preferentially to G-quadruplexes with longer loops, which is not related to the topology of the G-quadruplex structure. Moreover, the G-quadruplex DNA binding of the RGG in EWS depends on the phosphate backbone of the loops in the G-quadruplex DNA. We also investigated the G-quadruplex DNA binding activity of the N- and C-terminally truncated RGG to assess the role of the regions in the RGG in G-quadruplex DNA binding. Our findings indicate that the RGG and the other arginine-rich motif of residues 617-656 of the RGG in EWS are important for the specific binding to G-quadruplex DNA. These findings will contribute to the development of molecules that selectively target different G-quadruplex DNA. 相似文献

The TLS/FUS gene is involved in a recurrent chromosomal translocation in human myxoid liposarcomas. We previously reported that TLS is a potential splicing regulator able to modulate the 5'-splice site selection in an E1A pre-mRNA. Using an in vitro selection procedure, we investigated whether TLS exhibits a specificity with regard to RNA recognition. The RNAs selected by TLS share a common GGUG motif. Mutation of a G or U residue within this motif abolishes the interaction of TLS with the selected RNAs. We showed that TLS can bind GGUG-containing RNAs with a 250 nm affinity. By UV cross-linking/competition and immunoprecipitation experiments, we demonstrated that TLS recognizes a GGUG-containing RNA in nuclear extracts. Each one of the RNA binding domains (the three RGG boxes and the RNA recognition motif) contributes to the specificity of the TLS.RNA interaction, whereas only RRM and RGG2-3 participate to the E1A alternative splicing in vivo. The specificity of the TLS.RNA interaction was also observed using as natural pre-mRNA, the G-rich IVSB7 intron of the beta-tropomyosin pre-mRNA. Moreover, we determined that RNA binding specificities of TLS and high nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 were different. Hence, our results help define the role of the specific interaction of TLS with RNA during the splicing process of a pre-mRNA. 相似文献
