Nucleolin stabilizes G-quadruplex structures folded by the LTR promoter and silences HIV-1 viral transcription
Folding of the LTR promoter into dynamic G-quadruplex conformations has been shown to suppress its transcriptional activity in HIV-1. Here we sought to identify the proteins that control the folding of this region of proviral genome by inducing/stabilizing G-quadruplex structures. The implementation of electrophorethic mobility shift assay and pull-down experiments coupled with mass spectrometr...
متن کاملStability and kinetics of G-quadruplex structures
In this review, we give an overview of recent literature on the structure and stability of unimolecular G-rich quadruplex structures that are relevant to drug design and for in vivo function. The unifying theme in this review is energetics. The thermodynamic stability of quadruplexes has not been studied in the same detail as DNA and RNA duplexes, and there are important differences in the bala...
متن کاملRelevance of G-quadruplex structures to pharmacogenetics
G-quadruplexes are non-canonical secondary structures formed within nucleic acids that are involved in modulating cellular processes such as replication, gene regulation, recombination and epigenetics. Within genes, there is mounting evidence of G-quadruplex involvement in transcriptional and post transcriptional regulation. We report the presence of potential G-quadruplex motifs within relevan...
متن کاملOverview of the RNA G-quadruplex structures.
G-quadruplexes are non-canonical secondary structures which may be formed by guanine rich sequences, both in vitro and in living cells. The number of biological functions assigned to these structural motifs has grown rapidly since the discovery of their involvement in the telomere maintenance. Knowledge of the G-quadruplexes' three-dimensional structures plays an important role in understanding...
متن کاملMonomolecular G-quadruplex structures with inversion of polarity sites: new topologies and potentiality
In this paper, we report investigations, based on circular dichroism, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrophoresis methods, on three oligonucleotide sequences, each containing one 3'-3' and two 5'-5' inversion of polarity sites, and four G-runs with a variable number of residues, namely two, three and four (mTG2T, mTG3T and mTG4T with sequence 3'-TGnT-5'-5'-TGnT-3'-3'-TGnT-5'-5'-...
