Na+/K+ switch of enantioselectivity in G-quadruplex DNA-based catalysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we found that the enantioselectivity of G-quadruplex DNA-based Diels-Alder reaction can be switched by just changing Na(+) to K(+), which is ascribed to the structural transformation of the G-quadruplex from antiparallel to hybrid-type. By tuning the ratio of Na(+)/K(+), the enantioselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction could be switchable and shows much more sensitive to K(+) than to Na(+).

The influence of G-quadruplex structure on DNA-based asymmetric catalysis using the G-quadruplex-bound cationic porphyrin TMPyP4·Cu.
The DNA G-quadruplex-binding porphyrin TMPyP4·Cu was found to form efficient hybrid catalysts for DNA-based asymmetric catalysis when bound to DNA G-quadruplexes. Nucleobase substitution experiments using human telomere-derived G-quadruplex sequences suggest binding of the porphyrin on the 3'-face.
متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of G-quadruplex formation and conformational switch in a G-quadruplex of PS2.M induced by Pb2+
DNA sequences with guanine repeats can form G-quartets that adopt G-quadruplex structures in the presence of specific metal ions. Using circular dichroism (CD) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, we determined the spectral characteristics and the overall conformation of a G-quadruplex of PS2.M with an oligonucleotide sequence, d(GTG(3)TAG(3)CG(3)TTG(2)). UV-melting curves demonstrate...
متن کاملDirect NMR detection of alkali metal ions bound to G-quadruplex DNA.
We describe a general multinuclear (1H, 23Na, 87Rb) NMR approach for direct detection of alkali metal ions bound to G-quadruplex DNA. This study is motivated by our recent discovery that alkali metal ions (Na+, K+, Rb+) tightly bound to G-quadruplex DNA are actually "NMR visible" in solution (Wong, A.; Ida, R.; Wu, G. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2005, 337, 363). Here solution and solid-state...
متن کاملInteraction of [Ru(bpy)2(dppz)]2+ with human telomeric DNA: preferential binding to G-quadruplexes over i-motif.
Inspired by the enormous importance attributed to the structure and function of human telomeric DNA, we focus our attention on the interaction of [Ru(bpy)(2)(dppz)](2+) with the guanine-rich single-strand oligomer 5'-AGGGTTAGGGTTAGGGTTAGGG-3' (22AG) and the complementary cytosine-rich strand (22CT). In Na(+) buffer, 22AG may adopt an antiparallel basket quadruplex, whereas, it favours a mixed p...
متن کاملHuman telomeric sequence forms a hybrid-type intramolecular G-quadruplex structure with mixed parallel/antiparallel strands in potassium solution
Human telomeric DNA consists of tandem repeats of the sequence d(TTAGGG). The formation and stabilization of DNA G-quadruplexes in the human telomeric sequence have been shown to inhibit the activity of telomerase, thus the telomeric DNA G-quadruplex has been considered as an attractive target for cancer therapeutic intervention. However, knowledge of the intact human telomeric G-quadruplex str...
