Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4) are considered new drug targets for human diseases such as cancer. More than 10,000 G4s have been discovered in human chromatin, posing challenges for assessing the selectivity of a G4-interactive ligand. 3,6-bis(1-Methyl-4-vinylpyridinium) carbazole diiodide (BMVC) is the first fluorescent small molecule for G4 detection in vivo. Our previous structural study shows that BMVC binds to the MYC promoter G4 (MycG4) with high specificity. Here, we utilize high-throughput, large-scale custom DNA G4 microarrays to analyze the G4-binding selectivity of BMVC. BMVC preferentially binds to the parallel MycG4 and selectively recognizes flanking sequences of parallel G4s, especially the 3′-flanking thymine. Importantly, the microarray results are confirmed by orthogonal NMR and fluorescence binding analyses. Our study demonstrates the potential of custom G4 microarrays as a platform to broadly and unbiasedly assess the binding selectivity of G4-interactive ligands, and to help understand the properties that govern molecular recognition.

Project description:A method of stripping custom microarrays
| PRJNA108525 | ENA
Project description:Our genome wide analyses of microRNA expression profiles involve the hybridization of fluorescently labeled RNA samples to custom made, DNA microarrays based on the GAPSII coated slides. We describe a simple and effective method to regenerate such custom microarrays. Our protocol entails the use of a very low concentration of sodium hydroxide in a low salt buffer to strip RNA molecules from the arrays. The solution is also capable of removing DNA molecules hybridized to the slides, while preserving the slide coating and printed DNA probes. Slides can be stripped and reused at least twice without significantly sacrificing data quality. Keywords: expression study, new vs. stripped array comparison

Project description: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.

Project description:The G-quadruplex is an alternative DNA structural motif that is considered to be functionally important in the mammalian genome. Herein, we address the hypothesis that G-quadruplex structures can exist within double-stranded genomic DNA using a G-quadruplex-specific probe. An engineered antibody is employed to enrich for DNA containing G-quadruplex structures, followed by deep sequencing to detect and map G-quadruplexes at high resolution in genomic DNA from human breast adenocarcinoma cells. Our high sensitivity structure-based pull-down strategy enables the isolation of genomic DNA fragments bearing a single as well as multiple G-quadruplex structures. Stable G-quadruplex structures are found in sub-telomeres, gene bodies and gene regulatory regions. For a sample of identified target genes, we show that G-quadruplex stabilizing ligands can modulate transcription. These results confirm the existence of G-quadruplex structures and their persistence in human genomic DNA. Four independent libraries have been enriched in DNA G-quadruplex structures using a G-quadruplex-specific probe. One genomic input library was sequenced as control. Deep-sequencing of these libraries allowed the mapping of G-quadruplexes on the genome.

For 1mM NaOH treatment, new, once-, twice-, and triple-stripped arrays are studies. For 2mM NaOH treatment, new and once-stripped arrays are measured.
