In cells, the formation of RNA/DNA hybrid duplexes regulates gene expression and modification. The environment inside cellular organelles is heterogeneously crowded with high concentrations of biomolecules that affect the structure and stability of RNA/DNA hybrid duplexes. However, the detailed environmental effects remain unclear. Therefore, the mechanistic details of the effect of such molecular crowding were investigated at the molecular level by using thermodynamic and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses, revealing structure-dependent destabilization of the duplexes under crowded conditions. The transition from B- to A-like hybrid duplexes due to a change in conformation of the DNA strand guided by purine-pyrimidine asymmetry significantly increased the hydration number, which resulted in greater destabilization by the addition of cosolutes. By quantifying the individual contributions of environmental factors and the bulk structure of the duplex, we developed a set of parameters that predict the stability of hybrid duplexes with conformational dissimilarities under diverse crowding conditions. A comparison of the effects of environmental conditions in living cells and in vitro crowded solutions on hybrid duplex formation using the Förster resonance energy transfer technique established the applicability of our parameters to living cells. Moreover, our derived parameters can be used to estimate the efficiency of transcriptional inhibition, genome editing, and silencing techniques in cells. This supports the usefulness of our parameters for the visualization of cellular mechanisms of gene expression and the development of nucleic acid-based therapeutics targeting different cells.

Ligands that recognise specific i-motif DNAs are helpful in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, as i-motif formation can cause cancer. Although the loop regions of i-motifs are promising targets for ligands, the interaction between a ligand and the loop regions based on sequence information remains unexplored. Herein, we investigated the loop regions of various i-motif DNAs to determine whether these regions specifically interact with fluorescent ligands. Crystal violet (CV), a triphenylmethane dye, exhibited strong fluorescence with the i-motif derived from the promoter region of the human BCL2 gene in a sequence- and structure-specific manner. Our systematic sequence analysis indicated that CV was bound to the site formed by the first and third loops through inter-loop interactions between the guanine bases present in these loops. As the structural stability of the BCL2 i-motif was unaffected by CV, the local stabilisation of the loops by CV could inhibit the interaction of transcription factors with these loops, repressing the BCL2 expression of MCF-7 cells. Our finding suggests that the loops of the i-motif can act as a novel platform for the specific binding of small molecules; thus, they could be utilised for the theranostics of diseases associated with i-motif DNAs.

RNA performs various spatiotemporal functions in living cells. As the solution environments significantly affect the stability of RNA duplexes, a stability prediction of the RNA duplexes in diverse crowded conditions is required to understand and modulate gene expression in heterogeneously crowded intracellular conditions. Herein, we determined the nearest-neighbor (NN) parameters for RNA duplex formation when subjected to crowding conditions with an ionic concentration relevant to that found in cells. Determination of the individual contributions of excluded volume effect and water activity to each of the NN parameters in crowded environments enabled prediction of the thermodynamic parameters and their melting temperatures for plenty of tested RNA duplex formation in vitro and in cell with significant accuracy. The parameters reported herein will help predicting RNA duplex stability in different crowded environments, which will lead to an improved understanding of the stability-function relationship for RNAs in various cellular organelles with different molecular environments.

Endogenous G-quadruplex-forming RNAs inhibit the activity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA polymerase. Reviewed International journal

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England) 59 ( 7 ) 872 - 875 2023.1
Replication of RNA viruses is catalysed by virus-specific polymerases, which can be targets of therapeutic strategies. In this study, we used a selection strategy to identify endogenous RNAs from a transcriptome library derived from lung cells that interact with the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2. Some of the selected RNAs weakened the activity of RdRp by forming G-quadruplexes. These results suggest that certain endogenous RNAs, which potentially form G-quadruplexes, can reduce the replication of viral RNAs.

Sugimoto Naoki
In this study, physicochemical analyses of non-canonical nucleic acid structures were performed in consideration of the effect of chemical environment in cells. The functions of the non-canonical nucleic acid structures, which are assumed as Dimensional Code of central dogma in this research, have been clarified at the molecular level. This study also tried artificial regulation of the Dimensional Code by rationally designing molecules that induce and stabilize the non-canonical nucleic acid structures. Throughout the study, various physicochemical parameters in different chemical environments were obtained. Based on the obtained findings, we designed and synthesized artificial small molecules and nucleic acids that specifically interact with the target non-canonical nucleic acid structure. Furthermore, the molecules were applied for controlling fundamental reactions in central dogma, such as replication, transcription, and translation, both inside and outside cells.
