Structural dynamics of double-stranded DNA with epigenome modification.

Abstract:

:Modification of cytosine plays an important role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Cytosine is converted to 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by DNA methyltransferase; in turn, 5mC may be oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) by ten-eleven translocation enzyme. The structural flexibility of DNA is known to affect the binding of proteins to methylated DNA. Here, we have carried out a semi-quantitative analysis of the dynamics of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) containing various epigenetic modifications by combining data from imino 1H exchange and imino 1H R1ρ relaxation dispersion NMR experiments in a complementary way. Using this approach, we characterized the base-opening (kopen) and base-closing (kclose) rates, facilitating a comparison of the base-opening and -closing process of dsDNA containing cytosine in different states of epigenetic modification. A particularly striking result is the increase in the kopen rate of hemi-methylated dsDNA 5mC/C relative to unmodified or fully methylated dsDNA, indicating that the Watson-Crick base pairs undergo selective destabilization in 5mC/C. Collectively, our findings imply that the epigenetic modulation of cytosine dynamics in dsDNA mediates destabilization of the GC Watson-Crick base pair to allow base-flipping in living cells.

  • Deletion analysis of a unique 3' splice site indicates that alternating guanine and thymine residues represent an efficient splicing signal.

    abstract::The 3' splice site of the second intron (I2) of the human apolipoprotein-AII gene, (GT)16GGGCAG, is unique in that, although fully functional, a stretch of alternating guanine and thymine residues replaces the polypyrimidine tract usually associated with 3' splice junctions.
