肽核酸(peptide nucleic acid,PNA)是一种人工合成的具有类多肽骨架的DNA类似物,具有与核酸结合特异性强、组织和细胞内生物稳定性好、半衰期长等优点。通过靶向结合DNA/RNA而抑制其复制、转录和翻译过程,进行基因调控。在PNA骨架结构中γ位点引入带手性的官能团,能形成右手螺旋结构,显著提高其与靶DNA/RNA的杂交特性,这种PNA衍生物称之为γPNA。γPNA的溶解性、热稳定性和特异性等化学与生物学特性明显改善,在基因编辑和作为探针检测等方面具有良好的应用前景。通过对γPNA结构、性质及其研究进展进行总结,以期为γPNA反义应用提供理论依据和参考。  相似文献

The human pituitary tumor transforming gene (hPTTG) serves as a marker for malignancy grading in several cancers, hPTTG is involved in multiple cellular pathways including cell transformation, apoptosis, DNA repair, genomic instability, mitotic control and angiogenesis induction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hPTTG regulation have not been fully explored. In this study, we found that overexpression of histone acetyltransferase (HAT) p300 upregulated hPTTG at the levels of promoter activity, mRNA and protein expression. Moreover, the HAT activity of p300 was critical for its regulatory function. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) analysis revealed that overexpression of p300 elevated the level of histone H3 acetylation on the hPTTG promoter. Additionally, the NF-Y sites at the hPTTG promoter exhibited a synergistic effect on upregulation of hPTTG through interacting with p300. We also found that treatment of 293T cells with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Tfichostatin A (TSA) increased hPTTG promoter activity. Meanwhile, we provided evidence that HDAC3 decreased hPTTG promoter activity. These data implicate an important role of the histone acetylafion modification in the regulation of hPTTG.  相似文献

The possibilities of pseudo-peptide-DNA mimics like PNA (peptide nucleic acid) having a role for the prebiotic origin of life prior to an RNA world is discussed on the basis of literature data showing that this type of molecules might have formed on the primitive earth (or other places in the universe), as well as data indicating the possibilities of template-directed PNA chemical replication and ligation. In particular, the merits of an achiral prebiotic genetic material is discussed.  相似文献

A synthetic route to novel chiral PNA monomer-cyclen conjugates was described for the first time, the targeted products were obtained in high yields under mild reaction conditions. The preliminary results demonstrated that the uracil-PNA monomer-cyclen conjugates can rapidly bind Zn2+ in aqueous solution, and the structure of the Zn(II) complex was confirmed facilely by HRMS spectra, 1H NMR spectra and elemental analysis.  相似文献

The 2‐(o‐nitrophenyl)‐propyl (NPP) group is used as caging group to mask the nucleobases adenine and cytosine in N‐(2‐aminoethyl)glycine peptide nucleic acids (aeg‐PNA). The adeninyl and cytosinyl nucleo amino acid building blocks Fmoc‐aNPP‐aeg‐OH and Fmoc‐cNPP‐aeg‐OH were synthesized and incorporated into PNA sequences by Fmoc solid phase synthesis relying on high stability of the NPP nucleobase protecting group toward Fmoc‐cleavage, coupling, capping, and resin cleavage conditions. Removal of the nucleobase caging group was achieved by UV‐LED irradiation at 365 nm. The nucleobase caging groups provided sterical crowding effecting the Watson–Crick base pairing, and thereby, the PNA double strand stabilities. Duplex formation can completely be suppressed for complementary PNA containing caging groups in both strands. PNA/PNA recognition can be completely restored by UV light‐triggered release of the photolabile protecting group. Copyright © 2013 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

The HERV‐W family of human endogenous retroviruses represents a group of numerous sequences that show close similarity in genetic composition. It has been documented that some members of HERV‐W–derived expression products are supposed to play significant role in humans' pathology, such as multiple sclerosis or schizophrenia. Other members of the family are necessary to orchestrate physiological processes (eg, ERVWE1 coding syncytin‐1 that is engaged in syncytiotrophoblast formation). Therefore, an assay that would allow the recognition of particular form of HERV‐W members is highly desirable. A peptide nucleic acid (PNA)–mediated technique for the discrimination between multiple sclerosis‐associated retrovirus and ERVWE1 sequence has been developed. The assay uses a PNA probe that, being fully complementary to the ERVWE1 but not to multiple sclerosis‐associated retrovirus (MSRV) template, shows high selective potential. Single‐stranded DNA binding protein facilitates the PNA‐mediated, sequence‐specific formation of strand invasion complex and, consequently, local DNA unwinding. The target DNA may be then excluded from further analysis in any downstream process such as single‐stranded DNA‐specific exonuclease action. Finally, the reaction conditions have been optimized, and several PNA probes that are targeted toward distinct loci along whole HERV‐W env sequences have been evaluated. We believe that PNA/single‐stranded DNA binding protein–based application has the potential to selectively discriminate particular HERV‐W molecules as they are at least suspected to play pathogenic role in a broad range of medical conditions, from psycho‐neurologic disorders (multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia) and cancers (breast cancer) to that of an auto‐immunologic background (psoriasis and lupus erythematosus).  相似文献

Light-directed synthesis of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) chips   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
We report herein the light-directed synthesis of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) microarray using PNA monomers protected by photolabile protecting groups and a maskless technique that uses a digital micromirror array system to form virtual masks. An ultraviolet image from the virtual mask was cast onto the active surface of a glass substrate, which was mounted in a flow cell reaction chamber connected to a peptide synthesizer. Light exposure was followed by automatic chemical coupling cycles and these steps were repeated with different virtual masks to grow the desired PNA probes in a selected pattern. In a preliminary experiment, an array of PNA probes with dimensions of 4.11 mm × 4.11 mm was generated on each slide. Each synthesis region in the final array measured 210 μm × 210 μm for a total of 256 sites. The center-to-center space was 260 μm. It was observed from the hybridization pattern of the fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide targets that the fluorescence intensities of the matched, and mismatched sequences showed substantial difference, demonstrating specificity in the identification of complementary sequences. This opens the way to exploit processes from the microelectronics industry for the fabrication of PNA microarrays with high densities.  相似文献

A new simple solid-phase method has been developed for synthesizing Boc-protected peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomers. An immobilized backbone 3 was built on Expansin® resin using an ester disulphide handle: 2-hydroxypropyl-dithio-2′-isobutyric acid (HPDI). The base acetic acids of thymine 5 , Z-cytosine 9 , Z-adenine 12 , and 6-O-benzyl guanine 17 were prepared and coupled to the immoblized backbone. The HPDI handle was cleaved under mild conditions by cyanolysis or assisted hydrolysis with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) to give undamaged PNA monomers. These monomers were coupled to form oligomers by solid-phase method with another disulphide linkage: aminoethyldithio-2-isobutyric acid (AEDI) grafted on an amino-functionalized TentaGel® resin, using in situ neutralization and TBTU as activating reagent. Final cleavage of the AEDI linker gave PNA bearing a cysteamide residue that could be useful for optimizing PNA properties. Oligomers of up to 16 residues long were assembled. © 1998 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
