Macrocyclic hexaoxazole dimer of L2H2-6OTD-dimer (3) was newly synthesized as a telomeric G-quadruplex (G4) ligand, and interaction with long telomeric DNAs telo48, 72, and 96 was evaluated by means of electrophoresis mobility shift assay, CD spectra analysis, and CD melting experiments. The L2H2-6OTD-dimer (3) interacted with the long telomeric DNAs by inducing anti-parallel type G4 structure ...
The jumping translocation (JT) is a rare chromosomal abnormality in which a specific chromosomal segment translocates onto the ends of various chromosomes (jumps). In most cases, the region distal to 1q21 jumps onto numerous different telomeres. Here we report a molecular study of the JT involving 1q21 found in a patient with acute myelomonocytic leukemia that had transformed from myelodysplast...
For cells on the path to carcinogenesis, the key to unlimited growth potential lies in overcoming the steady loss of telomeric sequence commonly referred to as the 'end-replication problem' that occurs with each cell division. Most human tumors have reactivated telomerase, a specialized reverse transcriptase that directs RNA-templated addition of telomeric repeats on to chromosomal termini. How...
It has been puzzling that mammalian telomeric proteins, including TRF1, TRF2, tankyrase, and TIN2 have no recognized orthologs in budding yeast. Here, we describe a human protein, hRap1, that is an ortholog of the yeast telomeric protein, scRap1p. hRap1 has three conserved sequence motifs in common with scRap1, is located at telomeres, and affects telomere length. However, while scRap1 binds te...
The design and synthesis of metal complexes that can specifically target DNA secondary structure has attracted considerable attention. Chiral metallosupramolecular complexes (e.g. helicates) in particular display unique DNA-binding behavior, however until recently few examples which are both water-compatible and enantiomerically pure have been reported. Herein we report that one metallohelix en...
IZNP-1 Multiple G-quadruplex units in the 3΄-terminal overhang of human telomeric DNA can associate and form multimeric structures. The specific targeting of such distinctive higher-order G-quadruplexes might be a promising strategy for developing selective anticancer agents with fewer side effects. However, thus far, only a few molecules were found to selectively bind to telomeric multimeric G...
Chromosomal instability involving telomeric DNA sequences was studied in mouse Balb/3T3 fibroblasts transfected with a mutated human c-Ha-ras-1 gene (B61 cells) and spontaneously immortalized normal parental cells (A31 cells), using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH analysis with a telomeric probe revealed high frequencies of chromosome alterations involving telomeric regions, mai...
Drosophila telomeres are maintained as a result of transpositions of specialized telomeric retrotransposons. The abundance of telomeric retroelement transcripts, as well as the frequency of their transpositions onto the chromosome ends, is controlled by a PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway. In our recent report, we demonstrate strong evidence of piRNA-mediated transcriptional silencing of tel...
The fast evolving human KIR gene family encodes variable lymphocyte receptors specific for polymorphic HLA class I determinants. Nucleotide sequences for 24 representative human KIR haplotypes were determined. With three previously defined haplotypes, this gave a set of 12 group A and 15 group B haplotypes for assessment of KIR variation. The seven gene-content haplotypes are all combinations o...
Telomeres are protein-DNA complexes that cap chromosome ends and protect them from being recognized and processed as DNA breaks. Loss of capping function results in genetic instability and loss of cellular viability. The emerging view is that maintenance of an appropriate telomere structure is essential for function. Structural information on telomeric proteins that bind to double and single-st...
