Stability of telomeric G-quadruplexes
In most eukaryotes, telomeric DNA consists of repeats of a short motif that includes consecutive guanines and may hence fold into G-quadruplexes. Budding yeasts have telomeres composed of longer repeats and show variation in the degree of repeat homogeneity. Although telomeric sequences from several organisms have been shown to fold into G-quadruplexes in vitro, surprisingly, no study has been ...
متن کاملClustered abasic lesions profoundly change the structure and stability of human telomeric G-quadruplexes
Ionizing radiation produces clustered damage to DNA which is difficult to repair and thus more harmful than single lesions. Clustered lesions have only been investigated in dsDNA models. Introducing the term 'clustered damage to G-quadruplexes' we report here on the structural effects of multiple tetrahydrofuranyl abasic sites replacing loop adenines (A/AP) and tetrad guanines (G/AP) in quadrup...
متن کاملEvaluation of Human Telomeric G-Quadruplexes: The Influence of Overhanging Sequences on Quadruplex Stability and Folding
To date, various G-quadruplex structures have been reported in human telomeric sequences. Human telomeric repeats can form many topological structures depending on conditions and on base modification; parallel, antiparallel, and hybrid forms. The effect of salts and some specific ligands on conformational switches between different conformers is known, but the influence of protruding sequences ...
متن کاملThermodynamic fingerprints of ligand binding to human telomeric G-quadruplexes
Thermodynamic studies of ligand binding to human telomere (ht) DNA quadruplexes, as a rule, neglect the involvement of various ht-DNA conformations in the binding process. Therefore, the thermodynamic driving forces and the mechanisms of ht-DNA G-quadruplex-ligand recognition remain poorly understood. In this work we characterize thermodynamically and structurally binding of netropsin (Net), di...
