Cleavage patterns of AAG17 (upper black lines) and AAG17_cl (lower gray lines) obtained for different probes (Pb, 0.5 mM; T1 ribonuclease, 0.1 U/µl; S1 nuclease, 1.25 U/µl; T2 ribonuclease, 1.25 U/ml; V1 ribonuclease, 0.5 U/ml). The normal variation in the repeat number in these transcripts is usually between 5 and 30, and pathogenic mutations begin in most cases from about 40 repeats (26). According to structure prediction, this situation occurs in the (CGG)n and (CCG)n repeats present in the FMR‐1 and FMR‐2 transcripts, respectively, as well as in (CAG)n repeats located in the SCA6, SCA12 and AR transcripts (5). and Timchenko,L.T. On the other hand, shorter CUG repeats, which do not form hairpins, were shown to bind different proteins‐CUG‐BP. However, it forms an ordered single‐stranded structure maintained most likely by the extensive stacking interactions. 2C), as well as in the patterns generated by nucleases T2 and V1 (not shown). (C) Cleavage patterns obtained for 5′‐end labeled transcripts described above using T1 ribonuclease (upper panel) and S1 nuclease (lower panel). The secondary structures of terminal loops are shown next to the PhosphorImages of cleavages. Here we describe a new model system to investigate repeat instability in the Escherichia coli chromosome. The dynamic nature of these mutations explained intriguing features of clinical symptoms observed in families inheriting these diseases. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). 7A and B, respectively) look similar to those of the (CNG)n repeat transcripts. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. Cleavage patterns in the CAG16_cl, CUG16_cl and CGG16_cl are very similar—only the G8 is cleaved by the T1 ribonuclease, the N8 and G8 are cut by nuclease S1, and five consecutive phosphodiester bonds between C8 and N9 are digested by ribonuclease T2. Questions? This work was supported by the State Committee for Scientific Research, Grant No. The FAD is an adenine dinucleotide, which acts as a coenzyme and plays a key role in many enzymatic reactions. The cleavage sites and intensities are also shown in the proposed stem structures. 6C). Struct. (, Fardaei,M., Rogers,M.T., Thorpe,H.M., Larkin,K., Hamshere,M.G., Harper,P.S. Each oligomer contained the sequence complementary to the in vitro transcript and to T7 RNA polymerase promoter at its 3′‐end (Table 1). It is evident that several central repeats in the CNG17 show enhanced reactivity with all the enzymatic probes used in this experiment, although the level of this enhancement is not the same for all transcripts. It is also apparent that bands corresponding to the CNG17 transcripts appear rather diffused in gel which may suggest the micro‐heterogeneity of their structure (two or more very similar stable conformers co‐existing in conditions of analysis). Another analyzed transcript, GCC17_cl, differs from the CCG17_cl discussed above only by the frame in which the repeat was inserted between the same flanking sequences. and Hamshere,M.G. Similarly, the oval around GGC indicates that the A form is induced by alcohol. In DNA (double helix) there are two antiparallel strands of polynucleotides that are linked together by hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases. (, Suzuki,H., Jin,Y., Otani,H., Yasuda,K.

Context dependence of trinucleotide repeat structures. ... hairpin loops in DNA triplet repeat slippage and expansion with DNA polymerase. J. Biol. Chem. It appears that in each analyzed stem structure, the same type of repeated motif is present: two consecutive base pairs 5′‐G‐C and C‐G followed by the N/N mismatch. A similar picture emerges from the inspection of the S1 nuclease digestion patterns. Till recently, mutations in genes were described in textbooks as deletions or point mutations. These mutations can be inherited from a parent or they are de novo alterations. However, if the loop out structure is . This means that the respective 5′ and 3′ carbons are exposed at either end of the polynucleotide, which are therefore called the 5′-P end and the 3′-OH end. The normal function of triplet repeats in transcripts is barely known and the role of expanded RNA repeats in the pathogenesis of Triplet Repeat Expansion Diseases needs to be more fully elucidated. Intensities of cleavages generated by lead ions, and nucleases S1, T1 and T2 are shown in the same scale. In this work we employed a combination of fluorescence, chemical probing, optical melting, and gel shift assays to . Author Summary Over 30 diseases are caused by the expansion of a trinucleotide repeat (TNR) in a specific gene, including the most common adult-onset form of muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy (DM1). In others such an effect is unlikely to occur and hairpins are predicted to be composed of the repeated sequence only. In the transcripts of some genes involved in TREDs the (CNG)n hairpins may be extended and stabilized by double‐stranded RNA regions formed by specific sequences that flank the repeats (5). The different types of structures shown in this model are supported by our published (29) and unpublished experimental data and the results of RNA structure prediction. These novel junction structures demonstrate that the nucleotide sequence within the central core generates a position specific relationship between molecular interactions at the junction crossover and overall structural geometry. CTG trinucleotide repeat tracts are associated with several human inherited diseases, including Huntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy, and spinocerebellar ataxias. They form regular base pairs and fix the repeats in a single alignment. and Thornton,C.A. The reduction in the structure heterogeneity is also observed in intact transcripts CCUG17_cl and CCUG14_cl electrophoresed in non‐ denaturing polyacrylamide gel (Fig. 3. Polyglutamine diseases are a collection of nine CAG trinucleotide expansion disorders, presenting with a spectrum of neurological and clinical phenotypes. Proofreading and Secondary Structure Processing Determine the Orientation Dependence of CAG CTG Trinucleotide Repeat Instability in Escherichia coli Rabaab Zahra,* John K. Blackwood,* Jill Sales† and David R. F. Leach*,1 *Institute of Cell Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, United Kingdom and Here we have described the structures formed by transcripts composed of AAG, CAG, CCG, CGG and CUG repeats, which were determined by chemical and enzymatic structure probing. A single sharp peak characterizes its electrophoretic signal, as opposed to the two or more peaks of the CUG17_cl2 and at least three peaks of CUG17. Structure of the tetrameric restriction endonuclease NgoMIV in complex with cleaved DNA. Nucleotides at least contain one phosphate group. Required for miRNA-dependent repression of translation and for siRNA-dependent endonucleolytic cleavage of complementary mRNAs by argonaute family proteins. Electrophoresis performed at 15 W was followed by autoradiography and PhosphorImager analysis. The exception is SCA12 with the repeats located in the 5′‐UTR. Such interactions may result in the formation of the repeat hairpins having terminal loop sizes different to those predicted solely on the basis of the odd or even number of the repeats in the transcript. This new variant is characterized by a T1 ribonuclease cut at the G9 and S1 nuclease cuts at the U9 and G10 (Fig. Trinucleotide repeat expansion underlies at least 17 neurological diseases. 6C) are, respectively, –17.1 and –14.8 kcal/mol. The RCSB PDB also provides a variety of tools and resources. This program is designed to determine optimal and suboptimal secondary structures of RNA calculated for 1 M NaCl solution at 37°C, and to count free energy contributions for various secondary structure motifs. It is apparent that these structures differ significantly in the number of reactive phosphodiester bonds. In these hairpin variants, different combinations of the neighboring central repeats are involved in the formation of a terminal loop giving the impression that it is of an apparently large size. Oligodeoxynucleotides used and synthesized transcripts, Jasinska,A., Michlewski,G., de Mezer,M., Sobczak,K., Kozlowski,P., Napierala,M. (, Lu,X., Timchenko,N.A. 2B), the CUG17_cl is structurally homogeneous. This indicates the existence of an ordered single‐stranded structure in the AAG17. In the case of CGG17 an additional lane Cl–limited Cl3 ribonuclease digest under semi‐denaturing conditions and the positions of chosen C‐residues are shown. Found inside – Page 1114Expansion of trinucleotide repeat sequences is the mutational mechanism in at least 16 neurological disorders, ... to explain the dynamic nature of expanded trinucleotide repeats: slipped strand structure during DNA replication, ... The larger terminal loop of the CCUG17 hairpin also contributes to its lower stability. These results shed more light on the normal roles played by the repeated sequences in transcripts, and give a better understanding of the mechanisms of RNA pathogenesis in human neurological diseases in which the repeats are involved. To find the strength of the GC‐clamp which will be sufficient to overcome the tendency of the repeated sequence to form alternatively aligned hairpins, either two, four or six G‐C and C‐G base pairs were formed at the base of the CUG17 hairpin stem (Fig. Phosphate: Phosphate is attached to the sugar of nucleoside by an ester bond with the 5thC hydroxyl group. Formation of non-B conformations such as hairpins by these repeat sequences during DNA replication and/or repair has been proposed as a contributing factor to expansion. (, Charlet,B.N., Savkur,R.S., Singh,G., Philips,A.V., Grice,E.A. (, Peel,L., Rao,R.V., Cottrell,B.A., Hayden,M.R., Ellerby,L.M. The probe concentrations and lane indications are the same as described in the legend to Figure 1. The latter were expected to form a large loop structure composed of about 50 repeat nucleotides and the GC‐clamp. Analysis of the J . Purine pairs with pyrimidine base, A pairs with T and G pairs with C by two and three hydrogen bonds respectively. Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules carry the coding sequences for protein synthesis and are called transcripts; ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules form the core of a cell's ribosomes (the structures in which protein synthesis takes place); and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry amino acids to the ribosomes during protein Five different types of trinucleotide repeats are present in the transcripts of 16 genes known to be associated with TREDs. Divergent evolutions of trinucleotide polymerization revealed by an archaeal CCA-adding enzyme structure Mayuko Okabe Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry … They include the (CUG)n, (CAG)n, (CGG)n, (CCG)n and (AAG)n repeats that occur either in translated or non‐translated sequences (reviewed in 24–28).

The uniformly aligned repeated sequences in structurally homogeneous hairpins made it possible to reveal details of their stem architecture. When there is a need for the energy they get converted to ADP or AMP. Structure and folding dynamics of a DNA hairpin with a stabilising d(GNA) trinucleotide loop: influence of base pair mis-matches and point mutations on conformational equilibria† Graham D. Balkwill , a Huw E. L. Williams a and Mark S. Searle * a Expansion of trinucleotide repeats (TNR) has been implicated in the emergence of neurodegenerative diseases. Prior to gel electrophoresis, the 32P‐labeled transcripts were subjected to a denaturation and renaturation procedure in a solution containing 10 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.2), 40 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, by heating the sample at 80°C for 1 min and slowly cooling it to 37°C, and mixed with an equal volume of 7% sucrose with dyes. Figure 3. It turned out that all analyzed CNG16_cl transcripts behave similarly and form the 4‐nt terminal loop. Its cleavage patterns revealed the presence of the 4‐nt loop similar to that which occurs in the CNG16_cl hairpins. Transcribed image text: In the mid-1960s, George Streisinger proposed that strand slippage during DNA replication (shown in the figure) altered the number of DNA repeats found in trinucleotide repeat disorders.

They contain genetic information, Nucleotides act as coenzymes, which are required to catalyse many biochemical reactions by enzymes, Energy is stored in our body as ATP. Structure analysis of (CUG)n repeat transcripts having the GC‐clamp. and Timchenko,L.T. 7C). Human genetic trinucleotide repeat expansion diseases (TREDs) are characterized by triplet repeat expansions, most frequently found as CNG-tracts in genome. and Turner,D.H. They easily undergo slipped‐strand mispairing during DNA replication which appears to be the primary mechanism leading to the natural polymorphism of the repeats number (3). Similar to the expanded (CUG)n repeat containing transcript in DM1, the expanded (CCUG)n repeat containing RNA in DM2 forms nuclear foci and is not transported to the cytoplasm (22). A codon is a trinucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid. (, Feng,Y., Zhang,F., Lokey,L.K., Chastain,J.L., Lakkis,L., Eberhart,D. The results of muscleblind protein binding experiments (30) mean that the hairpin structure composed of the 20 repeats is not destabilized by other proteins present in the cellular extract. Plays a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by both micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The stem structure remains, however, unchanged. (2016). and Cooper,T.A. The CCUG17 hairpin has a lower predicted thermodynamic stability (–17.3 kcal/mol) as compared to that of CUG17 (–22.0 kcal/mol). Prior to structure probing reactions, the 32P‐labeled RNAs were subjected to a denaturation and renaturation procedure in a solution containing 20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.2), 80 mM NaCl, 20 mM MgCl2, by heating the sample at 80°C for 1 min and then slowly cooling to 37°C. When comparing the present structure of the CAG repeats and the previously described CUG repeats one can observe both similarities and differences (Table 2 and … Trinucleotide repeats are the most abundant type of simple sequence repeats in the coding sequences of all known eukaryotic genomes (1). (CAG refers to the Cytosine-Adenine-Guanine trinucleotide structure.) Twelve transcripts contained several additional G‐ and/or C‐residues located at one or both ends of the repeated sequence as specified in Table 1. In the case of the CUG17_cl2, which has a weak clamp capable of forming two base pairs only, the new hairpin variant containing a 7‐nt loop makes a ∼15% contribution to the CUG17 variants described above. The rate of contractions by this demonstrate that secondary structure inhibits FEN-1 ac- assay in the rad27D strain was nearly identical for CTG tivity at trinucleotide repeats, and this mechanism can and CAG (4.2 6 1.2 3 1023 per cell generation and 5.0 6 lead to expansion. Figure 1. It is important to note that all the CAG17, CUG17 and CCG17 hairpin variants have 4‐nt terminal loops which are thermodynamically more stable than the 7‐nt loops. This suggests the co‐existence of two conformers I and II. and Thornton,C.A. Although there is no direct evidence for the existence of CNG repeat hairpins in vivo, the CUG hairpin structure is strongly supported by the co‐localization of the expanded transcript and the muscleblind proteins in cells (45–47). The strongest ribonuclease T1 cuts occur at the G8 and G9 in the CAG17_cl, and in other CNG17_cl transcripts. If the loop out structure is formed from the sequence on the daughter strand this will result in an increase in the number of repeats. As a scaffolding protein, associates with argonaute proteins bound to partially complementary mRNAs, and can simultaneously . We have determined the molecular architectures of these co‐existing hairpin structures by using transcripts with GC‐clamps which imposed single alignments of hairpins. Tetranucleotide (CCUG)n repeats involved in myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) occur in an intron. It is unique chemistry with strong IP potential, customizable to your specific needs: size, cherry-picking, lead-likeness profiling, format options and delivery . 1383-1394. Our studies include the stability of oligoribonucleotides composed of two to seven of CAG, CCG, CGG, and CUG repeats. The CGG17 also forms a hairpin structure which shows, however, different features to those discussed above. Similar differences in reactivity of the internucleotide bonds can be observed in the case of ribonuclease T2. About 2% of mRNAs contain various types of trinucleotides repeated tandemly at least six times as revealed by our survey of the human transcriptome (5). It is evident that the strongest lead cleavages occur at the CpN phosphodiester bonds in all types of the repeats and at NpG phosphodiester bonds in the (CUG)n and (CCG)n repeats.

Trinucleotide repeat DNA structures : dynamic mutations from ... The (CCUG)n repeat hairpin structure predicted earlier (15) has been shown experimentally for the first time in this study. In contrast, the terminal loops in clamped transcripts containing 17 repeats are different. The genetic code describes the relationship between the sequence of DNA bases (A, C, G, and T) in a gene and the corresponding protein sequence that it encodes. Severity of symptoms and age of onset are related directly to the number of the repeats. Definition of TRINUCLEOTIDE REPEAT EXPANSION in the Definitions.net dictionary. Interestingly, the V1 ribonuclease cleaves efficiently the AAG17 but very poorly the clamped AAG17_cl. The features of the transcript structures proposed above were then verified by a more detailed structure characterization. Thus, the rigid RNA structure of the (AAG)n repeats may be required for their RNA functions including their proposed role as splicing activators mediated by interactions with Tra2 protein in humans (54). In the hairpin stems formed by the (CAG)n, (CGG)n and (CCG)n repeats, the V1 cuts at the NpG are at least three times more efficient than those at other phosphodiester bonds. This effect was not observed in the non‐clamped transcript. The S1 and V1 generated RNA fragments terminate with 3′‐hydroxyls and migrate more slowly than the corresponding formamide and T1 fragments. These results confirm the conclusions drawn from the analysis of intact transcripts in non‐denaturing gel (Fig. autosomal recessive (only AR trinucleotide repeat disorder) Myotonic dystrophy type 1 gene. Neither the specificities of the stem cleavages nor those of the terminal loop cuts give support to the existence of other arrangements of nucleotides in the (CNG)n hairpin stems. Trinucleotide definition, three linked nucleotides; triplet. One of the possible ways to achieve that was to add several G and C residues to the transcript ends. Besides the repeats all transcripts contained two G‐residues introduced at their 5′‐end to ensure the specificity and efficiency of in vitro transcription. In this condition, the CGG trinucleotide repeat in the FMR1 gene is repeated about 55 to 200 times, which is referred to as a premutation. In this light, we postulate that not only will CUG repeats interact with their specific single‐stranded and double‐stranded RNA‐binding proteins, but similar interactions may also occur between the CAG, CCG and CGG repeats and their putative binding proteins, as shown in the hypothetical model (Fig. (, Michalowski,S., Miller,J.W., Urbinati,C.R., Paliouras,M., Swanson,M.S. Cleavage patterns obtained for the (AAG)17 transcripts. Users can perform simple and advanced searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and function.

(, Fardaei,M., Larkin,K., Brook,J.D. These molecules are visualized, downloaded, and analyzed by users who range from students to specialized scientists. The high mutation rate of trinucleotide repeats makes them a rich source of quantitative genetic variation (3). (E) Proposed stem structure of the (CCUG)n repeat hairpin including sites and intensities of cleavages generated by nucleases (symbols explained in Fig. In people with Huntington's disease, however, it may be repeated from 36 to more than 120 times. Expanded tracts of repeated … The sharper peaks of clamped CNG17_cl transcripts suggest the homogeneity of their hairpin structures. This study sheds more light on this group of transcripts by showing which repeat lengths are sufficient to form stable hairpins. The 4‐nt loops are present in all (CNG)n hairpins with an even number of repeats, the 7‐nt loop occurs in the (CAG)n and (CCG)n hairpins with an odd number of repeats and the 3‐nt loops are present in the (CUG)n and (CGG)n hairpins with an odd number of repeats. Lead ions show no cleavage preference within these repeats, the strongest S1 nuclease cuts occur after the G‐residue of each AAG repeat, and the strong preference of ribonuclease T2 for digestions after each A‐residue is also shown. They could be co‐regulated in cells taking advantage of this property. The 5′‐end labeled transcripts described above and CUG17 were subjected to the standard denaturation/renaturation procedure in a solution containing 10 mM MgCl2 and 40 mM NaCl at pH 7.2, and were electrophoresed in non‐denaturing gel. Trinucleotide repeat expansion underlies at least 17 neurological diseases.
