Abstract

The nuclease-hypersensitivity element III1 in the c-myc promoter is a good anticancer target since it largely controls transcriptional activation of the important c-myc oncogene. Recently, the guanine-rich strand of this element has been shown to form an equilibrium between G-quadruplex structures built from two different sets of G-stretches; two models of intramolecular fold-back antiparallel-stranded G-quadruplexes, called "basket" and "chair" forms, were proposed. Here, we show by NMR that two sequences containing these two sets of G-stretches form intramolecular propeller-type parallel-stranded G-quadruplexes in K(+)-containing solution. The two structures involve a core of three stacked G-tetrads formed by four parallel G-stretches with all anti guanines and three double-chain-reversal loops bridging three G-tetrad layers. The central loop contains two or six residues, while the two other loops contain only one residue.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
