Protection of DNA sequences by triplex-bridge formation.

Abstract:

:We have demonstrated that the DNA sequence between two triplex-forming polypurine.polypyrimidine (Pu.Py) tracts was protected from DNA modifying enzymes upon formation of triplex DNA structures with an oligodeoxyribonucleotide in which two triplex-forming Pu or Py tracts were placed at the termini (triplex-bridge formation). In model experiments, when two triplex structures were formed between double-stranded DNA with the sequence (AG)17-(N)18-(T)34, and an oligodeoxyribonucleotide, (T)34-(N)18-(GA)17, not only the Pu.Py tracts but also the 18 bp non-Pu.Py sequence in the duplex DNA between the tracts was protected from restriction enzymes, HpaII methylase and DNase I. This protection occurred only when both of the Pu.Py tracts were involved as triplexes. The length of the tracts could be as short as 21 bp, while the difference in length between the non-Pu.Py sequences on the duplex and the oligodeoxyribonucleotide should be within 10 nucleotides. The efficiency of protection was enhanced in the presence of a cationic detergent, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, during triplex formation. Protection was also observed with another type of the triplex bridge formed between (G)34 and (T)34 tracts with an oligodeoxyribonucleotide, (T)34-(N)20-(G)34. These findings suggest that the protection of specific DNA sequences from enzymes by triplex-bridge formation can be applied to any DNA sequence by placing it between two triplex-forming sequences.
