Article Abstract
NCp7 protein binds the duplex/quadruplex hybrid structure, which decreases the thermal stability of DNA and unfolds the G-quadruplex structure. Interestingly, the duplex in the stem-loop region is the more favorable binding site of NCp7. The NCp7 binding twists the top G-tetrad, weakens hydrogen bonding and causes K+ ejection, hence disrupting the G4 structure.

Algorithms have been widely used to predict G-quadruplexes (G4s)-prone sequences. However, an experimental validation of these predictions is generally required. We previously reported a high-throughput technique to evidence G4 formation in vitro called FRET-MC.

Ligand-Induced duplex-quadruplex transition within the c-MYC promoter region is one of the most studied and advanced ideas for c-MYC regulation. Despite its importance, there is a lack of methods for monitoring such process in cells, hindering a better understanding of the essence of c-MYC G-quadruplex as a drug target. Here we developed a new fluorescent probe ISCH-MYC for specific c-MYC G-quadruplex recognition based on GTFH (G-quadruplex-Triggered Fluorogenic Hybridization) strategy.

In this study we have used two fluorescent probes, tetrakis(diisopropylguanidino)-zinc-phthalocyanine (Zn-DIGP) and N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM), to monitor the reassembly of "split" G-quadruplex probes on hybridization with an arbitrary "target" DNA. According to this approach, each split probe is designed to contain half of a G-quadruplex-forming sequence fused to a variable sequence that is complementary to the target DNA. Upon mixing the individual components, both base-pairing interactions and G-quadruplex fragment reassembly result in a duplex-quadruplex three-way junction that can bind to fluorescent dyes in a G-quadruplex-specific way.

There is currently great interest in the design of nanodevices that are capable of performing movements. Protein molecular machines are abundant in biology but it has recently been proposed that nucleic acids could also act as nanomolecular machines in model systems. Several types of movements have been described with DNA machines: rotation, extension-contraction and "scissor-like" opening and closing.
