Characterization of G4 DNA formation in mitochondrial DNA and their potential role in mitochondrial genome instability

Sumedha Dahal et al.

Summary: Mitochondria have their own genome that can be replicated independently, and are vulnerable to oxidative damage due to the production of reactive oxygen species. Studies have found an association between mitochondrial deletions and aging or disorders, many of which are near non-B DNA structures. The presence of various noncanonical structures, such as G-quadruplex motifs, inverted repeats, and mirror repeats in the mitochondrial DNA, contribute to instability and potential deletions in the mitochondrial genome.

Visualising G-quadruplex DNA dynamics in live cells by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Peter A. Summers et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates a method for identifying G-quadruplexes (G4s) within nuclei of live and fixed cells using a fluorescent probe combined with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. This method allows for the study of interactions between G4s and non-fluorescent small molecules, as well as the exploration of G4 stability mechanisms in live cells.

A Minimalistic Coumarin Turn-On Probe for Selective Recognition of Parallel G-Quadruplex DNA Structures

Marco Deiana et al.

Summary: A small water-soluble fluorescent probe has been developed that selectively targets parallel G4 structures over antiparallel and non-G4 structures, showing potential for anticancer therapy. Experimental evidence demonstrates that this probe can disrupt DNA replication in cancer cells, leading to decreased cell viability, and enable detection of nucleolar G4 structures in living cells. Insights gained from the structure-activity relationships of the probe suggest new avenues for the design of biocompatible G4-specific small molecules for theranostic applications driven by G4 structures.

Recent advances on G-quadruplex for biosensing, bioimaging and cancer therapy

Jiaqi Xu et al.

Summary: G-quadruplex is a three-dimensional secondary structure of nucleic acids formed by Hoogsteen hydrogen pairing of four guanines, with various topologies applicable in biosensing and bioimaging. By incorporating fluorescence dyes or forming HRP-mimicking DNAzyme, G-quadruplex-based biosensors enable sensitive and selective detection of a wide range of molecules, thereby contributing to cancer therapy.

Cationic helicenes as selective G4 DNA binders and optical probes for cellular imaging

Peter A. Summers et al.

Summary: The study investigates the interaction between a new type of helicene and DNA, finding that its non-planar structure results in higher affinity for G4 DNA over dsDNA. Additionally, the enantiomers of the helicene show different recognition towards G4 and dsDNA, and exhibit a fluorescence switch-on effect upon DNA binding.
