Evolution of a highly functional circular DNA aptamer in serum.

Abstract:

:Circular DNA aptamers are powerful candidates for therapeutic applications given their dramatically enhanced biostability. Herein we report the first effort to evolve circular DNA aptamers that bind a human protein directly in serum, a complex biofluid. Targeting human thrombin, this strategy has led to the discovery of a circular aptamer, named CTBA4T-B1, that exhibits very high binding affinity (with a dissociation constant of 19 pM), excellent anticoagulation activity (with the half maximal inhibitory concentration of 90 pM) and high stability (with a half-life of 8 h) in human serum, highlighting the advantage of performing aptamer selection directly in the environment where the application is intended. CTBA4T-B1 is predicted to adopt a unique structural fold with a central two-tiered guanine quadruplex capped by two long stem-loops. This structural arrangement differs from all known thrombin binding linear DNA aptamers, demonstrating the added advantage of evolving aptamers from circular DNA libraries. The method described here permits the derivation of circular DNA aptamers directly in biological fluids and could potentially be adapted to generate other types of aptamers for therapeutic applications.

  • Replication protein A prevents accumulation of single-stranded telomeric DNA in cells that use alternative lengthening of telomeres.

    abstract::The activation of a telomere maintenance mechanism is required for cancer development in humans. While most tumors achieve this by expressing the enzyme telomerase, a fraction (5-15%) employs a recombination-based mechanism termed alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Here we show that loss of the single-strande...
