摘要: 本工作利用圆二色光谱研究了Ag+与Hg2+对4种代表性G-四链体DNA结构的破坏作用。结果表明Ag+可能通过与碱基G螯合从而破坏G-四链体结构;Hg2 能通过形成T-Hg2+-T碱基对,及其他方式破坏G-四链体结构。含巯基(-SH)的半胱氨酸与Ag+与Hg2+可以发生较强的配位作用,从而使被Ag+与Hg2+破坏后的G-四链体DNA结构得以回复。基于此,一个新颖的Ag+/Hg2+-半胱氨酸-DNA逻辑门得以构筑。

Abstract: The G-quadruplex-disrupting abilities of Ag+ and Hg2+ ions were investigated by utilizing the metal ions-mediated circular dichroism (CD) spectrum changes of four representative G-quadruplexes. The results show that Ag+ ion can disrupt G-quadruplexes by chelating to Gbases and thus can be used as a general G-quadruplex-disrupting agent. The results also suggest that Hg2+ ion may disrupt G-quadruplexes by formation of T-Hg2+-Tbase pairs as well as other species. The G-quadruplexes disrupted by Ag+ and Hg2+ can be recovered by cysteine (Cys), a thiol-containing amino acid, due to the tight binding interactions between Cys and the metal ions. Thus, the system by using Ag+ (or Hg2+) and Cys as two inputs and CDsignal as output can behave as a DNA IMPLICATIONlogic gate.
