DEAF1 Binds Unmethylated and Variably Spaced CpG Dinucleotide Motifs
DEAF1 is a transcriptional regulator associated with autoimmune and neurological disorders and is known to bind TTCG motifs. To further ascertain preferred DEAF1 DNA ligands, we screened a random oligonucleotide library containing an "anchored" CpG motif. We identified a binding consensus that generally conformed to a repeated TTCGGG motif, with the two invariant CpG dinucleotides separated by ...
متن کامل[A CxxC domain that binds to unmethylated CpG is required for KDM2A to control rDNA transcription].
Dysfunction of ribosome biogenesis is commonly found in cancers. Because the transcription of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) is a rate-limiting step in ribosome biogenesis and is elevated in many cancer cells, ribosomal RNA transcription can be a target for cancer therapy. In eukaryotes, ribosomal RNA is transcribed specifically in nucleoli by RNA polymerase I but not by RNA polymerase II. Theref...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 9-dependent immune activation by unmethylated CpG motifs in Aspergillus fumigatus DNA.
Phagocytic defenses are critical for effective host defenses against the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Previous studies found that following challenge with A. fumigatus, Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) knockout mice survived longer than wild-type mice. However, the mechanism responsible was not defined. Here we demonstrate that A. fumigatus contains unmethylated CpG sequences...
متن کاملGlucose conjugation of anti-HIV-1 oligonucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs reduces their immunostimulatory activity.
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are short synthetic DNA polymers complementary to a target RNA sequence. They are commonly designed to halt a biological event, such as translation or splicing. ODNs are potentially useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of different human diseases. Carbohydrate-ODN conjugates have been reported to improve the cell-specific delivery of ODNs through re...
متن کاملThermoelectric Properties of Superlattice Materials with Variably Spaced Layers
D.G. Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, USA Abstract Variably spaced semiconductor superlattice (VSSL) have exhibited superior electron mobility and rectification because of electronic level alignment. We have investigated the thermoelectric properties of VSSL structures using a self-consistent non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) ...
