CHEMISTRY LETTERS 37 ( 8 ) 864 - 865 2008.8
Publisher:CHEMICAL SOC JAPAN
By using a DNA duplex. (5'-GTTACTATATGA-3'/5'-TCATATAGTAAC-3') under molecular crowding, conditions, it was revealed that hydration plays a significant role in the stability of the duplex, in contrast to viscosity and dielectric constant which have little effect.

Publisher:PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD
The molecular design of useful cosolutes for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is one of the most important techniques in molecular biology, plays a significant role in amplification of highly stable genome sequences because during PCR, strand dissociation sometimes fails due to high melting temperature. Here, we designed and synthesized eight new zwitterionic cosolutes derived from glycine betaine, a destabilizing reagent for GC-rich DNA duplexes, and systematically compared their ability to destabilize DNA duplexes and to amplify genome DNA by PCR. We found that introduction of n-butyl groups rather than methyl groups into the ammonium group reduced the melting temperature of DNA duplexes 11-fold more than what was observed for the scaffold cosolute, glycine betaine, and furthermore, the cosolute can amplify the stable genome sequence by PCR.

We designed and synthesized artificial compatible solutes which can not only decrease the melting temperature of DNA duplexes dependent of their chemical structures but also improve the amplification of highly stable genome DNA sequence.

Telomerase, which is highly activated in neoplastic cells, can be a target for antisense therapy, and for that purpose, antisense oligonucleotides (AS ODNs) have to be effectively delivered into cellular nucleus where the target telomerase is present. The present work shows a new strategy to deliver AS ODNs to nucleus by use of a novel complex made from a natural polysaccharide schizophyllan (SPG) and AS ODNs. Nuclear transport is strictly regulated by the nuclear pore size and the related proteins. If the molecular weight of SPG is decreased, the SPG/AS ODN complex should be easily transported, although the stability of the complex decreases with a decrease in the molecular weight. We optimized the molecular weight of SPG to be 25 K. Furthermore, we attached importin-beta (a nuclear transport protein) to the side chain of SPG by use of a streptavidin-biotin interaction. When this complex was added to Jurkat cells, the telomerase activity was more suppressed than the naked dose, indicating that the importin-P in the complex induced the nuclear transport of the complexed AS ODN and the AS ODN inhibited the telomerase. The present work shows a new methodology for nuclear anti-sense therapy that should be important in future anti-cancer therapies.

Artificial G-wire switch with 2,2 '-bipyridine units responsive to divalent metal ions International journal

Development of a guanine nanowire (G-wire) that is controllable and can be switched by external signals is important for the creation of molecular electronic technologies. Here, we constructed a G-wire in which the thymines of the main chain of d(G(4)T(4)G(4)) were replaced with 2,2'-bipyridine units, which have two aromatic rings that rotate arbitrarily upon coordination with metal ions. Circular dichroism of the DNA oligonucleotides with or without the 2,2'-bipyridine unit showed that divalent metal ions induce the bipyridine-containing oligonucleotide to switch from an antiparallel to a parallel G-quadruplex. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the parallel-stranded G-quadruplex DNA had a high-order structure. Circular dichroism and native gel electrophoresis analyses suggested that adding Na(2)EDTA causes a reverse structural transition from a parallel-stranded high-order structure to an antiparallel G-quadruplex. Moreover, atomic force microscopy showed a long nanowire (similar to 200 nm) in the presence of Ni2+ but no significant image in the absence of Ni2+ or in the presence of both Ni2+ and Na(2)EDTA. These observations revealed that the parallel-stranded high-order structure is a G-wire containing numerous DNA oligonucleotide strands bound together via divalent metal ion-2,2'-bipyridine complexes. Finally, we found that alternating addition of Ni2+ and Na(2)EDTA can cycle the G-wire between the high-order and disorganized structures, with an average cycling efficiency of 0.95 (i.e., 5% loss per cycle). These results demonstrate that a DNA oligonucleotide incorporating the 2,2'-bipyridine unit acts as a G-wire switch that can be controlled by chemical input signals, namely, divalent metal ions.
