The G-quadruplex is an alternative DNA structural motif that is considered to be functionally important in the mammalian genome. Herein, we address the hypothesis that G-quadruplex structures can exist within double-stranded genomic DNA using a G-quadruplex-specific probe. An engineered antibody is ...

The human Werner and Bloom syndromes (WS and BS) are caused by deficiencies in the WRN and BLM RecQ helicases, respectively. WRN, BLM and their S. cerevisiae homologue Sgs1, are particularly active in vitro in unwinding G-quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA), a family of non-canonical nucleic acid structures fo...

The effect of prolonged G-quadruplex stabilization on the functions of human cells
A375 and HT1080 cells are treated with G-quadruplex ligands PDS or PhenDC3 following genome-wide shRNA knockdown. This enables the identification of genes that when silenced, specifically compromises cell growth in the presence of the ligand. First, a pilot screen was performed to determine a ligand...

G-quadruplex structures in the 5’ UTR of mRNAs are widely considered to suppress translation without affecting transcription. The current study describes the comprehensive analysis of proteins binding to four different G-quadruplex motifs located in mRNAs of the cancer-related genes Bcl-2, NRAS, MMP...

RNA-binding proteins are important regulators of RNA biogenesis and function, and recent work shows that chromatin- and RNA-binding proteins can have regulatory roles in transcription. Several approaches have been developed to predict RNA-binding proteins and to identify them experimentally at large...

Genomic G-Quadruplex folding and unfolding following global DNA demethylation
G-quadruplex (or G4) structures are non-canonical DNA structures that form in guanine-rich sequences and threaten genome stability when not properly resolved. G4 unwinding occurs during S phase via an unknown mechanism. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we define a three-step G4 unwinding mechanism that a...
