In the present study, we employed a F NMR approach to study the association of telomere RNA and DNA in vitro and in living human cells. We successfully characterized the DNA-RNA hybrid G-quadruplex (HQ) structure formed by telomeric DNA and RNA. We further demonstrated for the first time that an HQ conformation can exist in the environmental conditions of HeLa cells.
在本研究中,我们采用了一种F核磁共振方法来研究端粒RNA与DNA在体外及活的人类细胞中的关联。我们成功地表征了由端粒DNA和RNA形成的DNA-RNA杂交G-四链体(HQ)结构。我们还首次进一步证明了HQ构象能够存在于HeLa细胞的环境条件中。
