CRISPR-Cas9 is an RNA-guided nuclease that has been widely adapted for genome engineering. A key determinant in Cas9 target selection is DNA duplex unwinding to form an R-loop, in which the single-stranded RNA guide hybridizes with one of the DNA strands. To advance understanding on DNA unwinding by Cas9, we combined two types of spectroscopic label, 2-aminopurine and nitroxide spin-label, to investigate unwinding at a specific DNA base pair induced by Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9. Data obtained with RNA guide lengths varying from 13 to 20 nucleotide revealed that the DNA segment distal to the protospacer adjacent motif can adopt a “”partial unwinding”” state, in which a mixture of DNA-paired and DNA-unwound populations exist in equilibrium Significant unwinding can occur at positions not supported by RNA/DNA pairing, and the degree of unwinding depends on RNA guide length and modulates DNA cleavage activity. The results shed light on Cas9 target selection and may inform developments of genome-engineering strategies.

Remington, Jacob M.; McCullagh, Martin; Kohler, Bern published the artcile< Molecular Dynamics Simulations of 2-Aminopurine-Labeled Dinucleoside Monophosphates Reveal Multiscale Stacking Kinetics>, Quality Control of 452-06-2, the main research area is mol dynamics simulation aminopurine dinucleoside monophosphate stacking kinetics.

Mol. dynamics (MD) simulations of 2-aminopurine (2Ap)-labeled DNA dinucleoside monophosphates (DNMPs) were performed to investigate the hypothesis that base stacking dynamics occur on timescales sufficiently rapid to influence the emission signals measured in time-resolved fluorescence experiments Anal. of multiple microsecond-length trajectories shows that the DNMPs sample all four coplanar stacking motifs. In addition, three metastable unstacked conformations are detected. A hidden Markov-state model (HMSM) was applied to the simulations to estimate transition rates between the stacked and unstacked states. Transitions between different stacked states generally occur at higher rates when the number of nucleobase faces requiring desolvation is minimized. Time constants for structural relaxation range between 1.6 and 25 ns, suggesting that emission from photoexcited 2Ap, which has an excited-state lifetime of 10 ns, is sensitive to base stacking kinetics. A master equation model for the excited-state population of 2Ap predicts multiexponential emission decays that reproduce the sub-10 ns emission decay lifetimes and amplitudes seen in experiments Combining MD simulations with HMSM anal. is a powerful way to understand the dynamics that influence 2Ap excited-state relaxation and represents an important step toward using observed emission signals to validate MD simulations.

Hu, Ming-Hao; Lin, Jia-Hong; Huang, Qiong published the artcile< Discovery of a fluorescent, long chain-bridged bispurine that selectively targets the c-MYC G-quadruplex>, SDS of cas: 452-06-2, the main research area is c MYC VEGF HRAS BCL2; Bispurine; Fluorescent; G-quadruplex; Selective; c-MYC.

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are special nucleic acid structures which are involved in the regulation of some key biol. events like transcription and translation, which are now treated as promising therapeutic targets for cancers. Stabilizing the promoter G4 by small-mol. ligands can suppress the c-MYC oncogene transcription, thus inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. So far, targeting the very structure, a number of ligands have been reported. However, most of them showed unsatisfactory specificity to the c-MYC G4 over other G4s, resulting in uncertain side effects. In this contribution, we discovered a new class of bispurines bridged with flexible hydrocarbon chains, which presented somewhat selectivity to the c-MYC G4 possibly by adaptive binding, which then showed clear inhibition on the c-MYC expression rather than other G4-driven oncogenes. Moreover, these novel mols. had the potential to fluorescently label G4s. We believed that this study may shed light on the discovery of new functional small mols. targeting a specific G4 structure.

Nonsense mutations cause about 10% of genetic disease cases, and no treatments are available. Nonsense mutations can be corrected by mols. with nonsense mutation readthrough activity. An extract of the mushroom Lepista inversa has recently shown high-efficiency correction of UGA and UAA nonsense mutations. One active constituent of this extract is 2,6-diaminopurine (DAP). In Calu-6 cancer cells, in which TP53 gene has a UGA nonsense mutation, DAP treatment increases p53 level. It also decreases the growth of tumors arising from Calu-6 cells injected into immunodeficient nude mice. DAP acts by interfering with the activity of a tRNA-specific 2′-O-methyltransferase (FTSJ1) responsible for cytosine 34 modification in tRNATrp. Low-toxicity and high-efficiency UGA nonsense mutation correction make DAP a good candidate for the development of treatments for genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.

Liu, Xuerui; Dong, Lina; Wang, Lianxiao; Xu, Hui; Gao, Shanmin; Zhong, Linlin; Zhang, Shengxiao; Jiang, Tingting published the artcile< 2-Aminopurine modified DNA probe for rapid and sensitive detection of L-cysteine>, Computed Properties of 452-06-2, the main research area is cysteine biosensor ssDNA mercury aminopurine fluorescence water milk serum; 2-Aminopurine; Exonuclease I; Fluorescence method; L-cysteine; Thymine-thymine mismatches.

A rapid, cost-effective and quencher-free fluorescence-based anal. method for sensitive detection of L-cysteine (Cys) based on 2-aminopurine (2-AP) labeled DNA probe and exonuclease I (Exo I) activity was developed. 2-AP labeled DNA probe includes two thymine (T)-T mismatches, which can bind with Hg2+ to form T-Hg2+-T pairing bases, resulting in stable hairpin with five base pairs in its stem. The target Cys can remove Hg2+ from the stem of the hairpin probe based on the high affinity of Cys with Hg2+, leading to the unfolding of the hairpin probe. At last, by adding Exo I, the resulted single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) will be digested to release free 2-AP with strong fluorescence. Under the optimal conditions, the sensing system exhibited a good and wider linear range from 0.4 to 400 nM (R2 = 0.997) and a detection limit as low as 0.16 nM for Cys. Furthermore, other amino acids without reductive sulfur group did not generate obvious change in fluorescence signals. Finally, the sensor can be used in diluted real samples with a good recovery rate, showing promising application in food, environmental and medical anal.

The reliable and quant. detection of virus DNA is highly desirable for the early diagnosis and clin. treatment of diseases. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) DNA walker based on a non-enzyme-mediated nucleic acid cascade amplification reaction was constructed for the ratiometric detection of H5N1 DNA. When the DNA walker was developed by the surface modification of aminated silica microsphere (SiO2-NH2) with H1 hairpin structures were activated in the presence of target DNA, the fluorescence of the H1-conjugated Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorophore (495 nm) was turned on, while the fluorescence of 2-aminopurine (2-AP) (363 nm) conjugated to the H2 hairpin remained unchanged. This strategy combines DNA walker powered by catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction with proportional fluorescence signal output methods, which can effectively reduce the risk of generating false-pos. signals. The developed DNA walker demonstrated excellent anal. sensitivity and specificity, with a detection limit of 60 pM. The DNA walker was also capable of selectively detecting H5N1 DNA in clin. blood serum samples, which demonstrated its potential for use in various clin. applications.

Dong, Tingting; Sha, Yueqi; Liu, Hairong; Sun, Liwei published the artcile< Altitudinal Variation of Metabolites, Mineral Elements and Antioxidant Activities of Rhodiola crenulata (Hook.f. and Thomson) H.Ohba>, Recommanded Product: 7H-Purin-2-amine, the main research area is Rhodiola crenulata metabolite mineral element antioxidant activity; change; element; high altitude; metabolite; rhodiola.

Rhodiolacrenulata (Hook.f. & Thomson) H.Ohba is an alpine medicinal plant that can survive in extreme high altitude environments. However, its changes to extreme high altitude are not yet clear. In this study, the response of Rhodiola crenulata to differences in altitude gradients was investigated through chem., ICP-MS and metabolomic methods. A targeted study of Rhodiola crenulata growing at three vertical altitudes revealed that the contents of seven elements Ca, Sr, B, Mn, Ni, Cu, and Cd, the phenolic components, the ascorbic acid, the ascorbic acid/dehydroascorbate ratio, and the antioxidant capacity were pos. correlated with altitude, while the opposite was true for total ascorbic acid content. Furthermore, 1165 metabolites were identified: flavonoids (200), gallic acids (30), phenylpropanoids (237), amino acids (100), free fatty acids and glycerides (56), nucleotides (60), as well as other metabolites (482). The differential metabolite and biomarker analyses suggested that, with an increasing altitude: (1) the shikimic acid-phenylalanine-phenylpropanoids-flavonoids pathway was enhanced, with phenylpropanoids upregulating biomarkers much more than flavonoids; phenylpropanes and phenylmethanes upregulated, and phenylethanes downregulated; the upregulation of quercetin was especially significant in flavonoids; upregulation of condensed tannins and downregulation of hydrolyzed tannins; upregulation of shikimic acids and amino acids including phenylalanine. (2) significant upregulation of free fatty acids and downregulation of glycerides; and (3) upregulation of adenosine phosphates. Our findings provide new insights on the responses of Rhodiola crenulata to extreme high altitude adversity.

Viral infection causes changes in the internal environment of host cells, and a series of stress responses are generated to respond to these changes and help the cell survive. Stress granule (SG) formation is a type of cellular stress response that inhibits viral replication. However, the relationship between red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection and SGs, and the roles of the SG marker protein RAS GTPase-activating protein (SH3 domain)-binding protein 1 (G3BP1) in viral infection remain unclear. In this study, RGNNV infection induced grouper spleen (GS) cells to produce SGs. The SGs particles co-located with the classic SG marker protein eIF3η, and some SGs depolymerized under treatment with the translation inhibitor, cycloheximide (CHX). In addition, when the four kinases of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α)-dependent pathway were inhibited, knockdown of HRI and GCN2 with small interfering RNAs and inhibition of PKR with 2-aminopurine had little effect on the formation of SGs, but the PERK inhibitor significantly inhibited the formation of SGs and decreased the phosphorylation of eIF2α. G3BP1 of Epinephelus coioides (named as EcG3BP1) encodes 495 amino acids with a predicted mol. weight of 54.12 kDa and 65.9% homol. with humans. Overexpression of EcG3BP1 inhibited the replication of RGNNV in vitro by up-regulating the interferon and inflammatory response, whereas knockdown of EcG3BP1 promoted the replication of RGNNV. These results provide a better understanding of the relationship between SGs and viral infection in fish.

Zhao, Han; Chen, Mingjian; Ma, Changbei published the artcile< Fluorescent method for the detection of biothiols using an Ag+-mediated conformational switch>, COA of Formula: C5H5N5, the main research area is silver glutathione cysteine biothiol fluorescence conformational switch; 2-aminopurine; cysteine; fluorescence; glutathione.

In this work, a novel, simple, and time-saving fluorescence approach for the detection of biothiols (glutathione and cysteine) was developed by employing a DNA probe labeled with 2-aminopurine. As an adenine analog, 2-aminopurine exhibits high fluorescence intensity that can be rapidly quenched in the presence of DNA. In the presence of Ag+, the fluorescence increased significantly, which was a result of the formation of cytosine-Ag+-cytosine base pairs and the release of 2-aminopurine. Upon addition of either glutathione or cysteine, the structure of cytosine-Ag+-cytosine was disrupted, a product of the stronger affinity between biothiols and Ag+. As a result, the 2-aminopurine-labeled DNA probe returned to its former structure, and the fluorescence signal was quenched accordingly. The detection limit for glutathione and cysteine was 3 nM and 5 nM, resp. Furthermore, the determination of biothiols in human blood serum provided a potential application for the probe as a diagnostic tool in clin. practice.

The chronic neuropathic pain-associated psychiatric disorders have seriously disturbed the quality of patients’ life, such as depression and anxiety. Neuroinflammation in the hippocampus plays an important role in the neuropathic pain-associated depressive and anxiety disorders, but the underlying mechanism has not been thoroughly elucidated to date. The (NLRP)-1 inflammasome, which controls the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, was broadly involved in the neuroinflammation-related diseases. In the present study, we show that the NLRP1 inflammasome is significantly activated in the hippocampus of rats subjected to the (CCI)-induced neuropathic pain. Inhibiting the product of NLRP1 inflammasome not only attenuated the depression-like behaviors but also suppressed the production of mature IL-1β in the hippocampus of CCI rats. The double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase has been recently shown to be a pivotal regulator for the activation of inflammasome. Functional inhibition of PKR suppressed the NLRP1 inflammasome activation and effectively attenuated the CCI-induced depression-like behaviors. These results indicate that the hippocampal PKR/NLRP1 inflammasome pathway play an important role in the development of the depressive behaviors after chronic neuropathic pain. Thus, interrupting this pathway might provide a novel therapeutic strategy for neuropathic pain-associated depressive disorders.
