Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators02:13

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

7.1K
Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome.  Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form...

Transducer Mechanism: G Protein–Coupled Receptors01:30

Transducer Mechanism: G Protein–Coupled Receptors

3.9K
G Protein–Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are membrane-bound receptors that transiently associate with heterotrimeric G proteins and induce an appropriate response to various stimuli. GPCRs regulate critical physiological pathways and are excellent drug targets for treating diseases such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, depression, or Alzheimer's. Nearly 35% of approved drugs implement their therapeutic effects by selectively interacting with specific GPCRs.
GPCRs are also called heptahelical,...

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels01:09

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

6.4K
In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Ligand Binding and Linkage00:49

Ligand Binding and Linkage

5.4K
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked.  In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

6.4K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • RNA triple helices are understudied structures with potential therapeutic applications.
  • The MALAT1 triple helix is a key target for small molecule interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate eight triplex-binding molecules (TBMs) for their effects on the MALAT1 triple helix.
  • To understand how TBMs interact with different structural features of the MALAT1 triple helix.

Main Methods:

  • UV thermal denaturation experiments to assess helix stabilization.
  • Surface plasmon resonance to analyze binding kinetics.
  • Cell-based assays to determine the effect on MALAT1 levels in cancer cells.

Main Results:

  • Several TBMs, including berberine and sanguinarine, selectively stabilize the MALAT1 triple helix.
  • TBMs showed varying sensitivities to nucleotide composition and helix length.
  • Neomycin was the only TBM that could outcompete MALAT1-binding proteins.
  • TBM treatment reduced MALAT1 levels in colorectal carcinoma cells by 20-60%.

Conclusions:

  • TBMs broadly recognize the MALAT1 triple helix.
  • TBMs can be designed for selective binding based on specific structural features.
  • This study provides insights for developing novel therapeutics targeting RNA structures.
