Quadruplex DNA: sequence, topology and structure
G-quadruplexes are higher-order DNA and RNA structures formed from G-rich sequences that are built around tetrads of hydrogen-bonded guanine bases. Potential quadruplex sequences have been identified in G-rich eukaryotic telomeres, and more recently in non-telomeric genomic DNA, e.g. in nuclease-hypersensitive promoter regions. The natural role and biological validation of these structures is s...

متن کاملG-quadruplex structure of an anti-proliferative DNA sequence
AGRO100 (also known as AS1411) is a G-rich oligonucleotide that has long been established as a potent anti-cancer aptamer. However, the structure of AGRO100 remained unresolved, due to the co-existence of multiple different G-quadruplex conformations. We identified a DNA sequence named AT11, derived from AGRO100, which formed a single major G-quadruplex conformation and exhibited a similar anti...
متن کاملIFI16 Preferentially Binds to DNA with Quadruplex Structure and Enhances DNA Quadruplex Formation
Interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) is a member of the HIN-200 protein family, containing two HIN domains and one PYRIN domain. IFI16 acts as a sensor of viral and bacterial DNA and is important for innate immune responses. IFI16 binds DNA and binding has been described to be DNA length-dependent, but a preference for supercoiled DNA has also been demonstrated. Here we report a specific pre...
متن کاملDeterminants of DNA quadruplex structural type: sequence and potassium binding.
There are DNA sequences which adopt the same quadruplex structural type in the presence of sodium as in the presence of sodium and potassium. There are also sequences that appear to have a requirement for the presence of potassium for the adoption of a particular quadruplex structural type. Information about the basis for these potassium effects has been obtained by examining the structures of ...
