DNA is an ideal molecule for the construction of 3D crystals with tunable properties owing to its high programmability based on canonical Watson–Crick base pairing, with crystal assembly in all three dimensions facilitated by immobile Holliday junctions and sticky end cohesion. Despite the promise of these systems, only a handful of unique crystal scaffolds have been reported. Herein, we describe a new crystal system with a repeating sequence that mediates the assembly of a 3D scaffold via a series of Holliday junctions linked together with complementary sticky ends. By using an optimized junction sequence, we could determine a high-resolution (2.7 Å) structure containing R3 crystal symmetry, with a slight subsequent improvement (2.6 Å) using a modified sticky-end sequence. The immobile Holliday junction sequence allowed us to produce crystals that provided unprecedented atomic detail. In addition, we expanded the crystal cavities by 50 % by adding an additional helical turn between junctions, and we solved the structure to 4.5 Å resolution by molecular replacement. 相似文献

The double crossover junction (DX) is a fundamental building block for generating complex and varied structures from DNA. However, its implementation in functional devices is limited to the inherent properties of DNA itself. Here, we developed design strategies to generate the first metal–DX DNA tiles (DXM) by site‐specifically functionalizing the tile crossovers with tetrahedral binding pockets that coordinate CuI. These DX junctions bind two CuI ions independently at distinct sites, display greater thermal stability than native DX tiles upon metalation, and melt in a cooperative fashion. In addition, the right‐handed helical chirality of DNA is transferred to the metal centers. Our tiles display high metal ion selectivity, such that CuII is spontaneously reduced to CuI in situ. By modifying our design over three generations of tiles, we elucidated the thermodynamic and geometric requirements for the successful assembly of DXM tiles, which have direct applicability in developing robust, stable DNA‐based materials with electroactive, photoactive, and catalytic properties. 相似文献

DNA self-assembly allows the construction of nanometre-scale structures and devices. Structures with thousands of unique components are routinely assembled in good yield. Experimental progress has been rapid, based largely on empirical design rules. Herein, we demonstrate a DNA origami technique designed as a model system with which to explore the mechanism of assembly. The origami fold is controlled through single-stranded loops embedded in a double-stranded DNA template and is programmed by a set of double-stranded linkers that specify pairwise interactions between loop sequences. Assembly is via T-junctions formed by hybridization of single-stranded overhangs on the linkers with the loops. The sequence of loops on the template and the set of interaction rules embodied in the linkers can be reconfigured with ease. We show that a set of just two interaction rules can be used to assemble simple T-junction origami motifs and that assembly can be performed at room temperature. 相似文献

DNA nanostructure‐based mechanical systems that control the distance between elements of interest have demonstrated great potential for various applications, including nanoplasmonic systems, molecular reactors, and other nanotechnology platforms. However, previously reported systems could not collectively manipulate a 2D or 3D nanoscale network of elements to various forms in multiple stages. A reconfigurable DNA accordion rack structure is introduced that is a DNA beam lattice that changes its conformation with a small amount of short‐length DNA locks as the controlling input. The lattice shape of the 2D DNA accordion rack and the diameter and the height of the 3D DNA nanotubular structure made of the DNA accordion rack could be controlled. Furthermore, by sequentially repeating the detachment and the attachment of the different DNA locks using strand displacement, the shape reconfiguration was repeatedly carried out. 相似文献

The use of DNA‐based nanomaterials in biomedical applications is continuing to grow, yet more emphasis is being put on the need for guaranteed structural stability of DNA nanostructures in physiological conditions. Various methods have been developed to stabilize DNA origami against low concentrations of divalent cations and the presence of nucleases. However, existing strategies typically require the complete encapsulation of nanostructures, which makes accessing the encased DNA strands difficult, or chemical modification, such as covalent crosslinking of DNA strands. We present a stabilization method involving the synthesis of DNA brick nanostructures with dendritic oligonucleotides attached to the outer surface. We find that nanostructures assembled from DNA brick motifs remain stable against denaturation without any chemical modifications. Furthermore, densely coating the outer surface of DNA brick nanostructures with dendritic oligonucleotides prevents nuclease digestion. 相似文献

Fluorescent, DNA‐stabilized silver nanoclusters (DNA‐AgNCs) are applied in a range of applications within nanoscience and nanotechnology. However, their diverse optical properties, mechanism of formation, and aspects of their composition remain unexplored, making the rational design of nanocluster probes challenging. Herein, a synthetic procedure is described for obtaining a high yield of emissive DNA‐AgNCs with a C‐loop hairpin DNA sequence, with subsequent purification by size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC). Through a combination of optical spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS), and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) in conjunction with the systematic study of various DNA sequences, the low‐resolution structure and mechanism of the formation of AgNCs were investigated. Data indicate that fluorescent DNA‐AgNCs self‐assemble by a head‐to‐head binding of two DNA hairpins, bridged by a silver nanocluster, resulting in the modelling of a dimeric structure harboring an Ag12 cluster. 相似文献

pH‐responsiveness has been widely pursued in dynamic DNA nanotechnology, owing to its potential in biosensing, controlled release, and nanomachinery. pH‐triggering systems mostly depend on specific designs of DNA sequences. However, sequence‐independent regulation could provide a more general tool to achieve pH‐responsive DNA assembly, which has yet to be developed. Herein, we propose a mechanism for dynamic DNA assembly by utilizing ethylenediamine (EN) as a reversibly chargeable (via protonation) molecule to overcome electrostatic repulsions. This strategy provides a universal pH‐responsivity for DNA assembly since the regulation originates from externally co‐existing EN rather than specific DNA sequences. Furthermore, it endows structural DNA nanotechnology with the benefits of a metal‐ion‐free environment including nuclease resistance. The concept could in principle be expanded to other organic molecules which may bring unique controls to dynamic DNA assembly. 相似文献

The design of controllable dynamic systems is vital for the construction of organelle-like architectures in living cells, but has proven difficult due to the lack of control over defined topological transformation of self-assembled structures. Herein, we report a DNA based dynamic assembly system that achieves lysosomal acidic microenvironment specifically inducing topological transformation from nanoparticles to organelle-like hydrogel architecture in living cells. Designer DNA nanoparticles are constructed from double-stranded DNA with cytosine-rich stick ends (C-monomer) and are internalized into cells through lysosomal pathway. The lysosomal acidic microenvironment can activate the assembly of DNA monomers, inducing transformation from nanoparticles to micro-sized organelle-like hydrogel which could further escape into cytoplasm. We show how the hydrogel regulates cellular behaviors: cytoskeleton is deformed, cell tentacles are significantly shortened, and cell migration is promoted. 相似文献

Customizable nanostructures built through the DNA‐origami technique hold tremendous promise in nanomaterial fabrication and biotechnology. Despite the cutting‐edge tools for DNA‐origami design and preparation, it remains challenging to separate structural components of an architecture built from—thus held together by—a continuous scaffold strand, which in turn limits the modularity and function of the DNA‐origami devices. To address this challenge, here we present an enzymatic method to clean up and reconfigure DNA‐origami structures. We target single‐stranded (ss) regions of DNA‐origami structures and remove them with CRISPR‐Cas12a, a hyper‐active ssDNA endonuclease without sequence specificity. We demonstrate the utility of this facile, selective post‐processing method on DNA structures with various geometrical and mechanical properties, realizing intricate structures and structural transformations that were previously difficult to engineer. Given the biocompatibility of Cas12a‐like enzymes, this versatile tool may be programmed in the future to operate functional nanodevices in cells. 相似文献

Modular DNA tile‐based self‐assembly is a versatile way to engineer basic tessellation patterns on the nanometer scale, but it remains challenging to achieve high levels of structural complexity. We introduce a set of general design principles to create intricate DNA tessellations by employing multi‐arm DNA motifs with low symmetry. We achieved two novel Archimedean tiling patterns, (4.8.8) and (3.6.3.6), and one pattern with higher‐order structures beyond the complexity observed in Archimedean tiling. Our success in assembling complicated DNA tessellations demonstrates the broad design space of DNA structural motifs, enriching the toolbox of DNA tile‐based self‐assembly and expanding the complexity boundaries of DNA tile‐based tessellation. 相似文献

A major goal of nanotechnology and bioengineering is to build artificial nanomachines capable of generating specific membrane curvatures on demand. Inspired by natural membrane‐deforming proteins, we designed DNA‐origami curls that polymerize into nanosprings and show their efficacy in vesicle deformation. DNA‐coated membrane tubules emerge from spherical vesicles when DNA‐origami polymerization or high membrane‐surface coverage occurs. Unlike many previous methods, the DNA self‐assembly‐mediated membrane tubulation eliminates the need for detergents or top‐down manipulation. The DNA‐origami design and deformation conditions have substantial influence on the tubulation efficiency and tube morphology, underscoring the intricate interplay between lipid bilayers and vesicle‐deforming DNA structures. 相似文献

The incorporation of synthetic molecules as corner units in DNA structures has been of interest over the last two decades. In this work, we present a facile method for generating branched small molecule‐DNA hybrids with controllable valency, different sequences, and directionalities (5′–3′) using a “printing” process from a simple 3‐way junction structure. We also show that the DNA‐imprinted small molecule can be extended asymmetrically using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and can be replicated chemically. This strategy provides opportunities to achieve new structural motifs in DNA nanotechnology and introduce new functionalities to DNA nanostructures. 相似文献

DNA hydrogels are of great interest for a variety of biomedical applications owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability but the advantages of DNA hydrogels have not been exploited yet because of their limited availability. Thus far, DNA hydrogels have been prepared from synthetically derived building blocks, and their production on large scale would be far too expensive. As an alternative, here the generation of DNA hydrogels from plasmid DNA is reported. Plasmid DNA can be prepared on large scale at reasonable costs by a fermentation process. The desired linear DNA building blocks are then obtained from the plasmid DNA by enzymatic digestion. Gel formation is carried out by covalent bond formation between individual building blocks via enzymatic ligation. The generation of pristine DNA hydrogels from plasmid DNA is thus presented for the first time. The viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels were studied by rheology, which confirmed that the gels have storage moduli G′ of >100 Pa. 相似文献

A reconfigurable DNA nano‐tweezer is reported that can be switched between a closed and open state with a brief pulse of UV light. In its initial state, the tweezer is held shut using a hairpin with a single‐stranded poly‐A loop. Also incorporated in the structure is a poly‐T trigger strand bearing seven photocaged residues. Upon illumination with 365 nm light, the cages are removed and the trigger strand hybridizes to the loop, opening the tweezer and increasing the distance between its arms from 4 to 18 nm. This intramolecular process is roughly 60 times faster than adding an external trigger strand, and provides a mechanism for the rapid interconversion of DNA nanostructures with light. 相似文献
