Substituted Naphthalenediimide Compounds Bind Selectively to Two Human Quadruplex Structures with Parallel Topology.

ABSTRACT: Interactions are reported of three representative naphthalenediimide derivatives with three quadruplex targets, from the promoter region of the telomerase (hTERT) gene, a human telomeric DNA quadruplex, and a telomeric RNA quadruplex (TERRA). Thermal melting studies showed that these compounds strongly stabilize the quadruplexes, with weak stabilization of a duplex DNA. Binding studies by surface plasmon resonance and fluorescence spectroscopy found that the compounds bind to the quadruplexes with nanomolar equilibrium dissociation constants. Plausible topologies for the quadruplex complexes were deduced from CD spectra, which together with the surface plasmon resonance data indicate that the quadruplexes with parallel quadruplex folds are preferred by two compounds, which was confirmed by qualitative molecular modeling.

G-quadruplex structures and G-quadruplex-interactive compounds.

Project description:G-quadruplexes are noncanonical secondary structures formed in DNA sequences containing consecutive runs of guanines. DNA G-quadruplexes have recently emerged as attractive cancer therapeutic targets. It has been shown that the 3' G-rich single-stranded overhangs of human telomeres can form G-quadruplex structures. G-quadruplex-interactive compounds have been shown to inhibit telomerase access as well as telomere capping. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been shown to be a powerful method in determining the G-quadruplex structures under physiologically relevant conditions. We present the NMR methodology used in our research group for structure determination of G-quadruplexes in solution and their interactions with small molecule compounds. An example of a G-quadruplex structure formed in the human telomere sequence recently solved in our laboratory is used as an example.

Topology-based classification of tetrads and quadruplex structures.

Project description:MotivationQuadruplexes attract the attention of researchers from many fields of bio-science. Due to a specific structure, these tertiary motifs are involved in various biological processes. They are also promising therapeutic targets in many strategies of drug development, including anticancer and neurological disease treatment. The uniqueness and diversity of their forms cause that quadruplexes show great potential in novel biological applications. The existing approaches for quadruplex analysis are based on sequence or 3D structure features and address canonical motifs only.ResultsIn our study, we analyzed tetrads and quadruplexes contained in nucleic acid molecules deposited in Protein Data Bank. Focusing on their secondary structure topology, we adjusted its graphical diagram and proposed new dot-bracket and arc representations. We defined the novel classification of these motifs. It can handle both canonical and non-canonical cases. Based on this new taxonomy, we implemented a method that automatically recognizes the types of tetrads and quadruplexes occurring as unimolecular structures. Finally, we conducted a statistical analysis of these motifs found in experimentally determined nucleic acid structures in relation to the new classification.Availability and implementationhttps://github.com/tzok/eltetrado/.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

NMR Studies of G-Quadruplex Structures and G-Quadruplex-Interactive Compounds.

Project description:G-quadruplexes are noncanonical, four-stranded nucleic acid secondary structures formed in sequences containing consecutive runs of guanines. These G-quadruplex structures have been found to form in nucleic acid regions of biological significance, including human telomeres, gene promoters, and untranslated regions of mRNA. Thus, they are considered attractive therapeutic targets. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful method for understanding the structures of G-quadruplexes and their interactions with small molecules under physiologically relevant conditions. Here, we present the NMR methodology used in our research group for the study of DNA G-quadruplex structures in physiologically relevant solution and their ligand interactions.

The beginning and the end: flanking nucleotides induce a parallel G-quadruplex topology.

Project description:Genomic sequences susceptible to form G-quadruplexes (G4s) are always flanked by other nucleotides, but G4 formation in vitro is generally studied with short synthetic DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, for which bases adjacent to the G4 core are often omitted. Herein, we systematically studied the effects of flanking nucleotides on structural polymorphism of 371 different oligodeoxynucleotides that adopt intramolecular G4 structures. We found out that the addition of nucleotides favors the formation of a parallel fold, defined as the 'flanking effect' in this work. This 'flanking effect' was more pronounced when nucleotides were added at the 5'-end, and depended on loop arrangement. NMR experiments and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that flanking sequences at the 5'-end abolish a strong syn-specific hydrogen bond commonly found in non-parallel conformations, thus favoring a parallel topology. These analyses pave a new way for more accurate prediction of DNA G4 folding in a physiological context.

8-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine incorporation into parallel DNA quadruplex structures.

Project description:This paper concerns the Circular Dichroism (CD) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) structural studies of the quadruple helix arrangements adopted by three tailored oligodeoxyribonucleotide analogues, namely d(TG(Me)GGT), d(TGG(Me)GT) and d(TGGG(Me)T), where dG(Me) represents a 8-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine residue. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that the effects of the incorporation of dG(Me) instead of a dG residue are strongly dependant upon the positioning of a single base replacement along the sequence. As such, d(TG(Me)GGT), d(TGG(Me)GT) have been found to form 4-fold symmetric quadruplexes with all strands parallel and equivalent to each other, each more stable than their natural counterpart. NMR experiments clearly indicate that [d(TG(Me)GGT)]4 possesses a G(Me)-tetrad with all dG(Me) residues in a syn-glycosidic conformation while an anti-arrangement is apparent for the four dG(Me) of [d(TGG(Me)GT)]4. As the two complexes show a quite different CD behaviour, a possible relationship between the presence of residues adopting syn-glycosidic conformations and CD profiles is briefly discussed. As far as d(TGGG(Me)T) is concerned, NMR data indicate that at 25 degrees C it exists primarily as a single-strand conformation in equilibrium with minor amounts of a quadruplex structure.

Predictive modelling of topology and loop variations in dimeric DNA quadruplex structures.

Project description:We have used a combination of simulated annealing (SA), molecular dynamics (MD) and locally enhanced sampling (LES) methods in order to predict the favourable topologies and loop conformations of dimeric DNA quadruplexes with T2 or T3 loops. This follows on from our previous MD simulation studies on the influence of loop lengths on the topology of intramolecular quadruplex structures [P. Hazel et al. (2004) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 126, 16 405-16 415], which provided results consistent with biophysical data. The recent crystal structures of d(G4T3G4)2 and d(G4BrUT2G4) (P. Hazel et al. (2006) J. Am. Chem. Soc., in press) and the NMR-determined topology of d(TG4T2G4T)2 [A.T. Phan et al. (2004) J. Mol. Biol., 338, 93-102] have been used in the present study for comparison with simulation results. These together with MM-PBSA free-energy calculations indicate that lateral T3 loops are favoured over diagonal loops, in accordance with the experimental structures; however, distinct loop conformations have been predicted to be favoured compared to those found experimentally. Several lateral and diagonal loop conformations have been found to be similar in energy. The simulations suggest an explanation for the distinct patterns of observed dimer topology for sequences with T3 and T2 loops, which depend on the loop lengths, rather than only on G-quartet stability.

Linear consecutive hexaoxazoles as G4 ligands inducing chair-type anti-parallel topology of a telomeric G-quadruplex.

Project description:G-quadruplex structures (G4s) in guanine-rich regions of DNA play critical roles in various biological phenomena, including replication, translation, and gene expression. There are three types of G4 topology, i.e., parallel, anti-parallel, and hybrid, and ligands that selectively interact with or stabilize a specific topology have been extensively explored to enable studies of topology-related functions. Here, we describe the synthesis of a new series of G4 ligands based on 6LCOs (6-linear consecutive oxazoles), i.e., L2H2-2M2EA-6LCO (2), L2A2-2M2EAc-6LCO (3), and L2G2-2M2EG-6LCO (4), which bear four aminoalkyl, acetamidealkyl, and guanidinylalkyl side chains, respectively. Among them, ligand 2 stabilized telomeric G4 and induced anti-parallel topology independently of the presence of cations. The anti-parallel topology induced by 2 was identified as chair-type by means of 19F NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence experiments with 2-aminopurine-labeled DNA.

Crystal structures of two substituted thia-zolidine derivatives.

Project description:In the first of the compounds reported herein, namely 6'-ferrocenyl-6a'-nitro-6',6a',6b',7',9',11a'-hexa-hydro-2H-spiro-[ace-naphthyl-ene-1,11'-chromeno[3',4':3,4]pyrrolo-[1,2-c]thia-zol]-2-one, [Fe(C5H5)(C29H21N2O4S)], (I), the thia-zolidine ring adopts a twist conformation on the methine N-C atoms. In the second compound, viz. 6'-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)-6a'-nitro-6',6a',6b',7',9',11a'-hexa-hydro-2H-spiro-[ace-naphthyl-ene-1,11'-chromeno[3',4':3,4]pyrrolo-[1,2-c]thia-zol]-2-one, [Fe(C5H5)(C26H19N2O5S)], (II), the thia-zolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with a methine C atom as the flap. In both compounds, the pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation on the thia-zolidine and tetra-hydro-pyran C atoms. The mean planes of the thia-zolidine and pyrrolidine rings subtend angles of 67.30 (1) and 62.95 (7)° in (I) and (II), respectively, while the mean plane of the pyrrolidine ring makes dihedral angles of 76.53 (1) and 87.74 (7)° with the ace-naphthyl-ene ring system in (I) and (II), respectively. In both compounds, an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(7) ring motif. In the crystal of (I), mol-ecules are linked via two different C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001] and [100]. In (II), they are linked through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with an R 2 (2)(10) ring motif while C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules in a head-to-tail fashion, forming chains along the a-axis direction.

Naphthalenediimide-Linked Bisbenzimidazole Derivatives as Telomeric G-Quadruplex-Stabilizing Ligands with Improved Anticancer Activity.

Project description:Human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA stabilization has emerged as an exciting novel approach for anticancer drug development. In the present study, we have designed and synthesized three C2-symmetric bisubstituted bisbenzimidazole naphthalenediimide (NDI) ligands, ALI-C3 , BBZ-ARO, and BBZ-AROCH2 , which stabilize human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA with high affinity. Herein, we have studied the binding affinities and thermodynamic contributions of each of these molecules with G-quadruplex DNA and compared the same to those of the parent NDI analogue, BMSG-SH-3. Results of fluorescence resonance energy transfer and surface plasmon resonance demonstrate that these ligands have a higher affinity for G4-DNA over duplex DNA and induce the formation of a G-quadruplex. The binding equilibrium constants obtained from the microcalorimetry studies of BBZ-ARO, ALI-C3 , and BBZ-AROCH2 were 8.47, 6.35, and 3.41 μM, respectively, with h-telo 22-mer quadruplex. These showed 10 and 100 times lower binding affinity with h-telo 12-mer and duplex DNA quadruplexes, respectively. Analysis of the thermodynamic parameters obtained from the microcalorimetry study suggests that interactions were most favorable for BBZ-ARO among all of the synthesized compounds. The ΔGfree obtained from molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area calculations of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies suggest that BBZ-ARO interacted strongly with G4-DNA. MD simulation results showed the highest hydrogen bond occupancy and van der Waals interactions were between the side chains of BBZ-ARO and the DNA grooves. A significant inhibition of telomerase activity (IC50 = 4.56 μM) and induced apoptosis in cancer cell lines by BBZ-ARO suggest that this molecule has the potential to be developed as an anticancer agent.
