DNA Triple Helix Formation: A Potential Tool for Genetic Repair
Triplex forming oligonucleotide DNA triple helices offer new perspectives towards oligonucleotide-directed gene regulation. Triple helix forming oligonucleotides, which bind to double-stranded DNA, are of special interest since they are targeted to the gene itself rather than to its mRNA product (as in the antisense strategy). However, the poor stability of some of these structures might limit ...
متن کاملNucleosome core particles inhibit DNA triple helix formation.
We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the formation of DNA triple helices at target sites on DNA fragments that have been reconstituted with nucleosome core particles. We show that a 12 bp homopurine target site, located 45 bp from the end of the 160 bp tyrT(46A) fragment, cannot be targeted with either parallel (CT-containing) or antiparallel (GT-containing) triplex-forming oligonucleot...
متن کاملDNA triple helix stabilization by aminoglycoside antibiotics.
The stabilization of the poly(dA) x 2poly(dT) triple helix by neomycin is reported. Preliminary results indicate that neomycin stabilizes DNA triple helices and the double helical structures composed of poly(dA) x poly(dT) are virtually unaffected. This is the first report of the interaction of aminoglycoside antibiotics with DNA triple helices.
متن کاملTriple-helix formation of DNA oligomers with methylthiourea-linked nucleosides (DNmt): a kinetic and thermodynamic analysis.
Complementary short-strand DNA homooligomers and methylthiourea-linked homonucleosides associate and form triplexes in solution. The melting temperatures, Tm, the association and dissociation kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, and activation energies were determined by UV thermal analysis for the triplexes of short-strand DNA homooligomers [d(pA)10-d(pA)23] and poly(dA) with the methylthiour...
متن کاملDNA sequence specificity of a naphthylquinoline triple helix-binding ligand.
We have examined the effect of a naphthylquinoline triplex-binding ligand on the formation of intermolecular triplexes on DNA fragments containing the target sites A6G6xC6T6 and G6A6xT6C6. The ligand enhances the binding of T6C2, but not T2C6, to A6G6xC6T6 suggesting that it has a greater effect on TxAT than C+xGC triplets. The complex with T6C2 is only stable below pH 6.0, confirming the requi...
