ABSTRACT
Parallel-stranded G-quadruplex structures are found to be common in the human promoter sequences. We tested highly fluorescent 9-methoxyluminarine ligand (9-MeLM) binding interactions with different parallel G-quadruplexes DNA by spectroscopic methods such as fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) titration as well as UV melting profiles. The results showed that the studied 9-MeLM ligand interacted with the intramolecular parallel G-quadruplexes (G4s) with similar affinity. The binding constants of 9-methoxyluminarine with different parallel G4s were determined. The studies upon oligonucleotides with different flanking sequences on c-MYC G-quadruplex suggest that 9-methoxyluminarine may preferentially interact with 3'end of the c-MYC promoter. The high decrease in 9-MeLM ligand fluorescence upon binding to all tested G4s indicates that 9-methoxyluminarine molecule can be used as a selective fluorescence turn-off probe for parallel G-quadruplexes.
