The DNA G-quadruplex is a DNA structure with various topologies that forms transiently in live cells. This study demonstrates the enantiospecific binding of a ruthenium complex to G-quadruplex and highlights the importance of stabilizing a specific topology for therapeutic applications.
The DNA G-quadruplex is known for forming arange of topologies and for the observed lability of the assembly,consistent with its transient formation in live cells. The stabilizationof a particular topology by a small molecule is of great importancefor therapeutic applications. Here, we show that the rutheniumcomplex Lambda-[Ru(phen)2(qdppz)]2+displays enantiospecificG-quadruplex binding. It crystallized in 1:1 stoichiometry with amodified human telomeric G-quadruplex sequence,GGGTTAGGGTTAGGGTTTGGG (htel21T18), in an antiparallelchair topology, thefirst structurally characterized example of ligandbinding to this topology. The lambda complex is bound in anintercalation cavity created by a terminal G-quartet and the centralnarrow lateral loop formed by T10-T11-A12. The two remainingwide lateral loops are linked through a third K+ion at the other end of the G-quartet stack, which also coordinates three thymineresidues. In a comparative ligand-binding study, we showed, using a Klenow fragment assay, that this complex is the strongestobserved inhibitor of replication, both using the native human telomeric sequence and the modified sequence used in this work.
