Direct Evidence that EXP/muscleblind Interacts with CCUG Tetranucleotide Repeats
Myotonic Dystrophy (DM), the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, comprises at least 2 sub-types, DM1 and DM2. DM1 is caused by the expansion of a CTG repeat located in the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of the DM protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Recently, the expansion of a CCTG tetranucleotide repeat located in the intron of the ZNF9 gene was identified as the mutation responsible f...
متن کاملDM2 intronic expansions: evidence for CCUG accumulation without flanking sequence or effects on ZNF9 mRNA processing or protein expression.
Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is caused by a CCTG expansion mutation in intron 1 of the zinc finger protein 9 (ZNF9) gene. The mean expansion size in patients is larger than for DM1 or any previously reported disorder (mean=5000 CCTGs; range=75-11 000), and similar to DM1, repeats containing ribonuclear inclusions accumulate in affected DM2 tissue. Although an RNA gain-of-function mechanism i...
متن کاملTautomeric and Microscopic Protonation Equilibria of Anthranilic Acid and Its Derivatives
The acid-base chemistry of three zwitterionic compounds, namely anthranilic (2-aminobenzoic acid), N-methylanthranilic and N-phenylanthranilic acid has been characterized in terms of the macroconstants Ka1, Ka2, the isoelectric point pHI, the tautomerization constant Kz and microconstants k11, k12, k21, k22. The potentiometric titration method was used to determine the macrodissociation constan...
متن کاملSolvent Effects on Tautomeric and Microscopic Protonation Constants of Glycine in Different Aqueous Solutions of 1,4-Dioxane
The acid-base equilibria of glycine have been studied in different aqueous solutions of 1,4-dioxane(0-50 % by v/v) using potentiometric method. In this study, the macro and micro protonationconstants of the amino acid and its tautomeric constant have been determined at 25 °C and constantionic strength 0.1 mol dm-3 (NaCl). The protonation and the tautomeric constants of glycine indifferent binar...
متن کاملTautomeric equilibrium and hydrogen shifts in tetrazole and triazoles: focal-point analysis and ab initio limit.
High-level ab initio electronic structure calculations, including extrapolations to the complete basis set (CBS) limit, were performed, and highly precise relative energies of five-member N-heterocycles were determined. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles studied included tautomers of tetrazole (CH(2)N(4)) and triazoles (C(2)H(3)N(3)). Valence focal-point analysis of 1H-tetrazole, 2H-tetrazole, 5H...
