Custom DNA microarrays reveal diverse binding preferences of proteins and small molecules to thousands of G-quadruplexes [design 1]

ABSTRACT: Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) containing guanine repeats can form G-quadruplex (G4) structures. While cellular proteins and small molecules can bind G4s, it has been difficult to broadly assess their sequence specificity. Here, we use custom DNA microarrays to examine the binding specificities of proteins, small molecules, and antibodies across ~15,000 G4 structures. Molecules used include fluorescently labeled pyridostatin (Cy5-PDS, a small molecule), BG4 (Cy5-BG4, a G4-specific antibody), and eight proteins (GST-tagged nucleolin, IGF2, CNBP, FANCJ, PIF1, BLM, DHX36, and WRN). Cy5-PDS and Cy5-BG4 selectively bind sequences known to form G4s, confirming their formation on the microarrays. Cy5-PDS binding decreased when G4 formation was inhibited using lithium or when ssDNA features on the microarray were made double-stranded. Similar conditions inhibited the binding of all other molecules except for CNBP and PIF1. We report that proteins have different G4 binding preferences suggesting unique cellular functions. Finally, competition experiments are used to assess the binding of an unlabeled small molecule, revealing the structural features in the G4 required to achieve selectivity. These data demonstrate that the microarray platform can be used to assess the binding preferences of molecules to G4s on a broad scale, helping to understand the properties that govern molecular recognition.

DNA G-Quadruplex Recognition In Vitro and in Live Cells by a Structure-Specific Nanobody

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4s) are alternative DNA secondary structures of the human genome with key roles in transcription, replication and genome stability. Structure-specific small molecules and antibodies, such as BG4, have facilitated the detection of G4s in cells and chromatin. The availability of an alternative probe to BG4 would help to address some of its potential limitations in mapping G4 structures and would independently confirm and/or extend our earlier findings. Herein, we describe the development of SG4, a camelid single-chain only derived nanobody raised against the human MycG4 promoter structure. SG4 is small, easily expressed and demonstrates low nanomolar affinity for folded G4 structures in vitro. Clues to SG4 binding were obtained experimentally by mutating single amino acids. Moreover, AlphaFold2 protein predictions combined with molecular dynamics/docking simulations generated a de novo binding model of SG4-G4 interactions that identifies key amino acids with significant contributions to G4 binding. Using SG4 in G4 ChIP-seq, we also demonstrate the detection of G4 structures in two cancer cell lines. SG4 thus provides an alternative tool for G4 genome mapping and independently verifies our earlier findings.

Control of cellular translation by endogenous RNA G-quadruplex structures

Project description:Four-stranded G-quadruplex (G4) structures form guanine-rich tracts, but their role in RNA biology remains poorly defined. Herein, we first delineate the presence of endogenous RNA G4s in the human cellular transcriptome by proxy of their binding to interacting proteins, DHX36, GRSF1 and DDX3X. We then demonstrate that a sub-population of these RNA G4s are reliably detected as folded structures in cross-linked cellular lysates using the G4 structure-specific antibody BG4. The 5' UTRs of protein-coding mRNAs show significant enrichment in such folded RNA G4s, particularly within mRNA for ribosomal proteins. As G4s in ribosomal mRNA are evolutionarily conserved in higher vertebrates this points to a common mode for translational co-regulation mediated by RNA G4 structures. Supporting this we find that G4-stabilising small molecules inhibit the translation of ribosomal protein mRNA and significantly down-regulate cellular translation.

Characterization of G-quadruplexes in the rice genome

Project description:DNA G-quadruplex (G4) is a non-canonical four-stranded nucleic acid structure functioning in various biological processes in mammals. G4 ChIP-seq assay, In this study, we developed a robust BG4-DNA ChIP-seq for global identification of DNA G4 in rice..We found that G4s harbored some functional motifs for binding of certain trans-factors, were co-localized with R-loops and DHSs in the rice genome. Importantly, G4s exhibited differential effects on DNA methylation between TE and non-TE genes in rice. Especially, G4 intensity-dependent enrichment occurred between DNA 5mC and 6mA.These DNA-related features suggest potential regulatory roles of G4 in rice. Thus, our study will pave the way for prompting intensive characterization towards identifying novel functions of G4 in plants, especially for agronomic important crops.

DNA G-quadruplex structure participates in regulation of lipid metabolism through Acyl-CoA binding protein

Project description:G-quadruplex structure (G4) is a type of DNA secondary structure that widely exists in the genomes of many organisms. G4s are believed to participate in multiple biological processes. Acyl- CoA binding protein (ACBP), a ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved protein in eukaryotic cells, plays important roles in lipid metabolism by transporting and protecting acyl-CoA esters. Here, we report the functional identification of a G4 in the promoter of the ACBP gene in silkworm and human cancer cells. We found that G4 exists as a conserved element in the promoters of ACBP genes in invertebrates and vertebrates. The BmACBP G4 bound with G4-binding protein LARK regulated BmACBP transcription, which was blocked by the G4 stabilizer pyridostatin (PDS) and G4 antisense oligonucleotides. PDS treatment with 5 th instar silkworm larvae decreased the BmACBP expression and triacylglycerides (TAG) level, resulting in reductions in fat body mass, body size and weight and growth and metamorphic rates. PDS treatment and knocking out of the HsACBP G4 in human hepatic adenocarcinoma HepG2 cells inhibited the expression of HsACBP and decreased the TAG level and cell proliferation. Altogether, our findings suggest that G4 of the ACBP genes is involved in regulation of lipid metabolism processes in invertebrates and vertebrates.

Chemo- versus immuno-precipitation of G-quadruplex-DNA (G4- DNA): a direct comparison of the efficiency of the antibody BG4 versus the small-molecule ligands TASQs for G4 affinity capture

Project description:The reliability of the BG4-IP-seq protocol, along with the straightforward access to rice genomic DNA, makes this system ideal for comparing the pull-down efficiency of the antibody BG4 versus the small-molecular baits BioTASQ and BioCyTASQ. These two TASQs (for template-assembled synthetic G-quartets) are biotinylated biomimetic ligands that were successfully employed for fishing G4-RNAs out from human cell lysates, in a protocol referred to as G4RP-seq, which belong to the toolbox of seq-based techniques used to interrogate G4-RNA prevalence, comprising rG4-seq, DMS-seq, Keth-seq and SHALiPE-seq. We reasoned that the ability of TASQs to isolate G4-DNA deserves both to be investigated and to be compared to that of BG4. We thus report here on these investigations. which provides the very first comparison of the efficiency of the immuno- versus chemo- precipitation of G4s, under strictly identical experimental conditions.

YY1 is involved in homologous recombination inhibition at guanine quadruplex sites in human cells

Project description:Homologous recombination (HR) is a key process for repairing DNA double strand breaks and for promoting genetic diversity, and it occurs unevenly throughout the genome. G-quadruplexes (G4s) are stable secondary structures widely present across the genome, which function in regulating gene transcription and maintaining genome stability. However, elevated G4 levels by BLM (RecQ like helicase unwinding G4) depletion can significantly drive HR at these G4 sites, which may threaten genome stability. Here, we investigated the role of Yin Yang-1 (YY1) in modulating HR at G4 sites. To elucidate G4 sites on the genome, cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) of BG4, a G4 specific antibody, was conducted.

The essential Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pfh1 DNA helicase promotes fork movement past G-quadruplex motifs to prevent DNA damage

Project description:Background G-quadruplexes (G4s) are stable non-canonical DNA secondary structures consisting of stacked arrays of four guanines, each held together by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds. Sequences with the ability to form these structures in vitro, G4 motifs, are found throughout bacterial and eukaryotic genomes. The budding yeast Pif1 DNA helicase, as well as several bacterial Pif1 family helicases, unwind G4 structures robustly in vitro and suppress G4-induced DNA damage in S. cerevisiae in vivo. Results We determined the genomic distribution and evolutionary conservation of G4 motifs in four fission yeast species and investigated the relationship between G4 motifs and Pfh1, the sole S. pombe Pif1 family helicase. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with deep sequencing, we found that many G4 motifs in the S. pombe genome were associated with Pfh1. Cells depleted of Pfh1 had increased fork pausing and DNA damage near G4 motifs, as indicated by high DNA polymerase occupancy and phosphorylated histone H2A, respectively. In general, G4 motifs were underrepresented in genes. However, Pfh1-associated G4 motifs were located on the transcribed strand of highly transcribed genes significantly more often than expected, suggesting that Pfh1 has a function in replication or transcription at these sites. Conclusions In the absence of functional Pfh1, unresolved G4 structures cause fork pausing and DNA damage of the sort associated with human tumors.
