中文简介:
肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)和额颞痴呆(FTD)最常见的遗传原因是位于C9orf72基因非编码区内的GGCC重复序列数量大量增加。扩展的GGCC重复序列(包括G-四链体)采用的非规范结构被认为在发病机制中起关键作用。富含G的寡核苷酸可以在K+或Na+离子存在下形成称为G-四链体的非规范四链结构,由G-四链体的堆叠层组成,G-四链体由四个鸟嘌呤残基通过Hoogsteen氢键连接而成。已知G-四链体结构多样,其折叠对寡核苷酸序列和实验条件敏感。此外,在溶液中,多个G-四链体结构经常共存,这对高分辨率结构测定提出了巨大挑战。寡核苷酸d[(G4C2)3G4]被选为具有分子内折叠能力的最短模型,形成两个主要和几个次要的G-四联体结构。dG-8Br-dG取代降低了结构多态性,并导致d[(G4C2)3GGBrGG]中两个结构的稳定。有趣的是,当在K+离子存在下从热变性状态折叠时,G-四联体结构的相对种群对pH和冷却速率敏感。建立了两种不同的折叠条件,它们选择性地有利于其中一种结构的形成,从而有助于利用NMR对其进行单独的结构表征。两个G-四链体结构在拓扑上非常相似,但它们表现出独特的结构和独特的动力学特性。
课程简介: The most frequent genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a large increase in the number of GGGGCC repeats located within the non-coding region of C9orf72 gene. Non-canonical structures adopted by expanded GGGGCC repeats, including G-quadruplexes, have been proposed to be crucial in pathogenesis. G-rich oligonucleotides can form in the presence of K+ or Na+ ions non-canonical four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes, composed of stacked layers of G-quartets that are formed by four guanine residues connected by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds. G-quadruplexes are known to be structurally diverse and their folding sensitive to oligonucleotide sequence and experimental conditions. In addition, several G-quadruplex structures often coexist in solution, representing a great challenge for high-resolution structure determination. Oligonucleotide d[(G4C2)3G4], chosen as the shortest model with the ability to fold intra-molecularly, formed two major and several minor G-quadruplex structures. Structural polymorphism was reduced by dG to 8Br-dG substitution and led to stabilization of two structures in d[(G4C2)3GGBrGG]. Interestingly, relative populations of G-quadruplex structures were sensitive to pH and rate of cooling when folding from thermally denatured state in the presence of K+ ions. Two different folding conditions were established that selectively favor formation of mostly one of the structures, thus facilitating their individual structural characterization with NMR. Two G-quadruplex structures are topologically very similar, however, they exhibit unique structures and distinct dynamic properties.
