We identified 29 G-quadruplex binding proteins by affinity purification and quantitative LC-MS/MS. We demonstrated that the DEAD-box RNA helicases Dbp2, Ded1 and Mss116 preferentially bind to G-quadruplex nucleic acids in vitro and destabilize RNA quadruplexes, suggesting new potential roles for these helicases in disruption of quadruplex structures in RNA.
我们通过亲和纯化和定量 LC-MS/MS 鉴定了 29 种 G-四链体结合蛋白。我们证明 DEAD 盒 RNA 解旋酶 Dbp2、Ded1 和 Mss116 优先在体外与 G-四链体核酸结合,并使 RNA 四链体不稳定,这表明这些解旋酶在破坏 RNA 中四链体结构方面具有新的潜在作用。
