Modular Assembly of Cell-targeting Devices Based on an Uncommon G-quadruplex Aptamer
Aptamers are valuable tools that provide great potential to develop cost-effective diagnostics and therapies in the biomedical field. Here, we report a novel DNA aptamer that folds into an unconventional G-quadruplex structure able to recognize and enter specifically into human Burkitt's lymphoma cells. We further optimized this aptamer to a highly versatile and stable minimized version. The mi...
متن کاملG-quadruplex aptamer targeting Protein A and its capability to detect Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated by ELONA
Aptamers for whole cell detection are selected mostly by the Cell-SELEX procedure. Alternatively, the use of specific cell surface epitopes as target during aptamer selections allows the development of aptamers with ability to bind whole cells. In this study, we integrated a formerly selected Protein A-binding aptamer PA#2/8 in an assay format called ELONA (Enzyme-Linked OligoNucleotide Assay) ...
متن کاملTri-G-quadruplex: controlled assembly of a G-quadruplex structure from three G-rich strands.
In my (DNA) dreams: A tri-G-quadruplex was constructed from three strands (T1-T3) of DNA using duplex formation to guide the G-rich tracts into close proximity with the addition of Li(+) ions (see scheme). The defined G-quadruplex structure was formed upon addition of Na(+) ions and characterized by gel electrophoresis and spectroscopy.
متن کاملThe G-quadruplex-forming aptamer AS1411 potently inhibits HIV-1 attachment to the host cell
AS1411 is a G-rich aptamer that forms a stable G-quadruplex structure and displays antineoplastic properties both in vitro and in vivo. This oligonucleotide has undergone phase 2 clinical trials. The major molecular target of AS1411 is nucleolin (NCL), a multifunctional nucleolar protein also present in the cell membrane where it selectively mediates the binding and uptake of AS1411. Cell-surfa...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Efficient G‐Quadruplex‐Stabilised Thrombin‐Binding Aptamer Containing a Three‐Carbon Spacer Molecule
The thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA), which shows anticoagulant properties, is one of the most studied G-quadruplex-forming aptamers. In this study, we investigated the impact of different chemical modifications such as a three-carbon spacer (spacer-C3 ), unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) and 3'-amino-modified UNA (amino-UNA) on the structural dynamics and stability of TBA. All three modifications were...
