Strand invasion of DNA quadruplexes by PNA: comparison of homologous and complementary hybridization.
Molecular recognition of DNA quadruplex structures is envisioned to be a strategy for regulating gene expression at the transcriptional level and for in situ analysis of telomere structure and function. The recognition of DNA quadruplexes by peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers is presented here, with a focus on comparing complementary, heteroduplex-forming and homologous, heteroquadruplex-form...
متن کاملExpanding the repertoire of pyrrolidyl PNA analogues for DNA/RNA hybridization selectivity: aminoethylpyrrolidinone PNA (aepone-PNA).
New PNA analogues derived from aminoethylpyrrolidin-5-one backbone show stabilization of aepone-PNA:DNA hybrids and destabilization of the corresponding RNA hybrids compared to unmodified PNA.
متن کاملPyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) Do Not Bind to DNA G-Quadruplexes
The pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4] benzodiazepines (PBDs) are a family of sequence-selective, minor-groove binding DNA-interactive agents that covalently attach to guanine residues. A recent publication in this journal (Raju et al, PloS One, 2012, 7, 4, e35920) reported that two PBD molecules were observed to bind with high affinity to the telomeric quadruplex of Tetrahymena glaucoma based on Electrospray...
متن کاملHybridization of DNA and PNA molecular beacons to single-stranded and double-stranded DNA targets.
Molecular beacons are sensitive fluorescent probes hybridizing selectively to designated DNA and RNA targets. They have recently become practical tools for quantitative real-time monitoring of single-stranded nucleic acids. Here, we comparatively study the performance of a variety of such probes, stemless and stem-containing DNA and PNA (peptide nucleic acid) beacons, in Tris-buffer solutions c...
متن کاملEnhanced stability of G-quadruplexes from conformationally constrained aep-PNA backbone.
Nucleic (DNA) acids having contiguous stretch of G sequence form quadruplex structure, which is very critical to control cell division. Recently the existence of G-quadruplex in RNA is also reported in presence of monovalent metal ion. PNA is a promising DNA analogue which binds strongly to DNA to form PNA:DNA duplex or PNA(2):DNA triplex. PNA also forms quadruplexes such G-quadruplex and i-mot...
