A G-quadruplex is a nucleic acid secondary structure that is adopted by guanine-rich sequences, and is considered to be relevant in various pharmacological and biological contexts. G-Quadruplexes have also attracted great attention in the field of DNA nanotechnology because of their extremely high thermal stability and the availability of many defined structures. To date, a large repertory of DNA/RNA G-quadruplex-interactive ligands has been developed by numerous laboratories. Several relevant reviews have also been published that have helped researchers to grasp the full scope of G-quadruplex research from its outset to the present. This review focuses on the G-quadruplex ligands that allow targeting of specific G-quadruplexes. Moreover, unique ligands, successful methodologies, and future perspectives in relation to specific G-quadruplex recognition are also addressed. 相似文献

The design of DNA-based logic circuits has become an active research field in DNA nanotechnology and holds great potential in intelligent bioanalysis. To date, although many DNA-based logic systems have been realized, the implementation of advanced logic functions is still challenging, especially with simple and homogeneous compositions. Herein, by integrating two DNA tetraplex structures (G-quadruplex and i-motif), a completely label-free logic platform with high scalability was established, with which a series of advanced functions were realized, including arithmetic (adders and subtractors) and nonarithmetic ones (majority and dual-transfer gates). Furthermore, the platform was also applied as an intelligent biosensor to coanalyze two cancer-related micro-RNAs with high sensitivities and specificities. Considering the excellent versatility, expandability, and biocompatibility, the platform may promote the development of DNA computing and hold great potential in multiparameter sensing and medical diagnosis. 相似文献

DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are key structures for the development of targeted anticancer therapies. In this context, ligands selectively interacting with G4s can represent valuable anticancer drugs. Aiming at speeding up the identification of G4-targeting synthetic or natural compounds, we developed an affinity chromatography-based assay, named G-quadruplex on Oligo Affinity Support (G4-OAS), by synthesizing G4-forming sequences on commercially available polystyrene OAS. Then, due to unspecific binding of several hydrophobic ligands on nude OAS, we moved to Controlled Pore Glass (CPG). We thus conceived an ad hoc functionalized, universal support on which both the on-support elongation and deprotection of the G4-forming oligonucleotides can be performed, along with the successive affinity chromatography-based assay, renamed as G-quadruplex on Controlled Pore Glass (G4-CPG) assay. Here we describe these assays and their applications to the screening of several libraries of chemically different putative G4 ligands. Finally, ongoing studies and outlook of our G4-CPG assay are reported. 相似文献

The topological diversity of DNA G‐quadruplexes may play a crucial role in its biological function. Reversible control over a specific folding topology was achieved by the synthesis of a chiral, glycol‐based pyridine ligand and its fourfold incorporation into human telomeric DNA by solid‐phase synthesis. Square‐planar coordination to a CuII ion led to the formation of a highly stabilizing intramolecular metal–base tetrad, substituting one G‐tetrad in the parent unimolecular G‐quadruplex. For the Tetrahymena telomeric repeat, CuII‐triggered switching from a hybrid‐dominated conformer mixture to an antiparallel topology was observed. CuII‐dependent control over a protein–G‐quadruplex interaction was shown for the thrombin–tba pair (tba=thrombin‐binding aptamer). 相似文献

A label-free and enzyme-free sensitive fluorescent detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based on isothermal hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was developed. A G-quadruplex sequence which was incorporated into one of the two hairpin probes was inactive in the absence of target DNA. However, at the presence of target DNA numerous G-quadruplexes along DNA nanowires were self-assembled through HCR. Using N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) as the fluorophore, a “turn-on” fluorescent response would be achieved and detected as low as 0.5 nmol L−1 of HIV DNA. This proposed method was applied to detect HIV DNA in biologic samples with satisfactory results. 相似文献

Numerous studies have shown compelling evidence that incorporation of an inversion of polarity site (IPS) in G-rich sequences can affect the topological and structural characteristics of G-quadruplexes (G4s). Herein, the influence of IPS on the formation of a previously studied intramolecular parallel G4 of d(G3TG3TG3TG3) (TTT) and its stacked higher-order structures is explored. Insertion of 3′–3′ or 5′–5′ IPS did not change the parallel folding pattern of TTT. However, both the species and position of the IPS in TTT have a significant impact on the G4 stability and end-stacking through the alteration of G4–G4 interfaces properties. The data demonstrate that one base flip in each terminal G-tetrad can stabilize parallel G4s and facilitate intermolecular packing of monomeric G4s. Such modifications can also enhance the fluorescence and enzymatic performances by promoting interactions between parallel G4s with N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) and hemin, respectively. 相似文献

DNA G‐quadruplexes were systematically modified by single riboguanosine (rG) substitutions at anti‐dG positions. Circular dichroism and NMR experiments confirmed the conservation of the native quadruplex topology for most of the DNA–RNA hybrid structures. Changes in the C8 NMR chemical shift of guanosines following rG substitution at their 3′‐side within the quadruplex core strongly suggest the presence of C8?H???O hydrogen‐bonding interactions with the O2′ position of the C2′‐endo ribonucleotide. A geometric analysis of reported high‐resolution structures indicates that such interactions are a more general feature in RNA quadruplexes and may contribute to the observed preference for parallel topologies. 相似文献

The ability of three different bifunctional azobenzene linkers to enable the photoreversible formation of a defined intermolecular two‐tetrad G‐quadruplex upon UV/Vis irradiation was investigated. Circular dichroism and NMR spectroscopic data showed the formation of G‐quadruplexes with K+ ions at room temperature in all three cases with the corresponding azobenzene linker in an E conformation. However, only the para–para‐substituted azobenzene derivative enables photoswitching between a nonpolymorphic, stacked, tetramolecular G‐quadruplex and an unstructured state after E–Z isomerization. 相似文献

Specific sensing and functional tuning of nucleic acid secondary structures remain less explored to date. Herein, we report a thiazole polyamide TPW that binds specifically to c-KIT1 G-quadruplex (G4) with sub-micromolar affinity and ∼1 : 1 stoichiometry and represses c-KIT proto-oncogene expression. TPW shows up to 10-fold increase in fluorescence upon binding with c-KIT1 G4, but shows weak or no quantifiable binding to other G4s and ds26 DNA. TPW can increase the number of G4-specific antibody (BG4) foci and mark G4 structures in cancer cells. Cell-based assays reveal that TPW can efficiently repress c-KIT expression in leukemia cells via a G4-dependent process. Thus, the polyamide can serve as a promising probe for G-quadruplex recognition with the ability to specifically alter c-KIT oncogene expression. 相似文献

DNA targeting by various metal complexes is a key strategy toward the restriction of cancer cell proliferation. Toward this end, we designed and synthesized novel salen‐based NiII and PdII metal complexes with positively charged flanking side chains comprising N‐methylpyrrole carboxamides of varying lengths. The compounds showed high specificity toward G‐quadruplex DNA over duplex DNA. Sufficient inhibition of the telomerase activity was observed, which was ascertained by the prominent restriction of cancer cell proliferation in the long‐term cell viability and telomerase inhibition assays. The compounds exhibited selective cancer cell death following an apoptotic pathway. Analysis of the binding mode showed partial stacking of the salen moiety over the G‐tetrads and association of the pendant oligopyrrole carboxamide units with the grooves. The conjugation of the tetrad‐binding metal salen core with groove‐oriented flexible oligopyrrole moieties resulted in the high selectivity and stabilization of the human G‐quadruplex DNA structures. 相似文献
