Telomeres and Telomerase02:41

Telomeres and Telomerase

28.5K
In eukaryotic DNA replication, a single-stranded DNA fragment remains at the end of a chromosome after the removal of the final primer. This section of DNA cannot be replicated in the same manner as the rest of the strand because there is no 3’ end to which the newly synthesized DNA can attach. This non-replicated fragment results in gradual loss of the chromosomal DNA during each cell duplication. Additionally, it can induce a DNA damage response by enzymes that recognize single-stranded...

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins

17.2K
For successful DNA replication, the unwinding of double-stranded DNA must be accompanied by stabilization and protection of the separated single strands of the DNA. This crucial task is performed by single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins. They bind to the DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which means that the nitrogenous bases of the DNA need not be present in a specific order for binding of SSB proteins to it. The binding of SSB proteins straightens single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and makes...

The DNA Replication Fork01:02

The DNA Replication Fork

43.0K
An organism’s genome needs to be duplicated in an efficient and error-free manner for its growth and survival. The replication fork is a Y-shaped active region where two strands of DNA are separated and replicated continuously. The coupling of DNA unzipping and complementary strand synthesis is a characteristic feature of a replication fork.   Organisms with small circular DNA, such as E. coli, often have a single origin of replication; therefore, they have only two replication...

Homologous Recombination02:31

Homologous Recombination

65.3K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

DNA Helicases00:55

DNA Helicases

24.9K
DNA unwinding helicase enzymes are a type of motor protein. Motor proteins can translocate along filaments or polymers using energy generated from ATP hydrolysis. Helicases are involved in all the important cellular processes where DNA unwinding is required, such as DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. They are present in all living organisms, but vary in their structure, function, and mechanism of action. For example, in prokaryotes, DnaB helicase binds and translocates...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología estructural
  • La bioquímica
  • Biología molecular

Sus antecedentes:

  • Los telómeros, las tapas protectoras de los cromosomas eucariotas, son ricos en secuencias ricas en guanina (G) que pueden formar estructuras cuadruplexas G.
  • Los cuádruplexos G y el ADN dúplex coexisten en los extremos del telómero 3', formando uniones complejas.
  • Dirigirse a estas estructuras teloméricas con moléculas pequeñas es una estrategia para la terapia del cáncer, pero la selectividad sigue siendo un desafío.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para aclarar la base estructural de la interfaz 3' entre los cuadruplexos G paralelos y el ADN telomérico dúplex humano.
  • Identificar posibles sitios de unión para moléculas pequeñas en las uniones teloméricas G-cuadruplex-duplex.
  • Explorar estrategias para desarrollar agentes terapéuticos selectivos dirigidos al mantenimiento de los telómeros.

Principales métodos:

  • Se empleó la cristalografía de rayos X para determinar estructuras de alta resolución de las uniones de ADN G-cuadruplex-duplex.
  • Se utilizaron modelos moleculares y acoplamiento in silico para investigar las interacciones de los ligandos.
  • Las construcciones de ADN se ensamblaron utilizando andamios formadores de G-cuadruplex vinculados a secuencias de duplex teloméricos.

Principales resultados:

  • Se obtuvieron estructuras detalladas de las uniones teloméricas 3 'cuadruplex-duplex, que muestran apilamiento coaxial de G-cuadruplex paralelo y ADN duplex de forma B.
  • Se identificó una plataforma de tríada TAT conservada, que media el apilamiento de bases entre las regiones G-cuadruplex y duplex.
  • En ausencia de ligandos, la tríada TAT ocluye la unión en la interfaz; sin embargo, una reorganización de un solo nucleótido crea una bolsa de unión estable.

Conclusiones:

  • La plataforma triada TAT es una característica estructural clave en la interfaz telomérica G-cuadruplex-duplex.
  • Esta interfaz presenta un objetivo único para el desarrollo de moléculas pequeñas selectivas destinadas a interferir con la función de los telómeros.
  • Las modificaciones estructurales pueden crear bolsas específicas para el diseño de fármacos específicos, mejorando potencialmente la selectividad de los agentes de unión G-cuadruplex.
