Photocrosslinking of human telomeric G-quadruplex loops by anti cyclobutane thymine dimer formation
Open accessAbstract
The unusual structural forms of telomere DNA, which protect the ends of chromosomes during replication, may render it vulnerable to unprecedented photodamage, possibly involving nonadjacent bases that are made proximate by folding. The G-quadruplex for the human telomere sequence consisting of a repeating d(TTAGGG) is one unusual form. Tel22, d[AGGG(TTAGGG) 3 ], forms a basket structure in the presence of Na + and may form multiple equilibrating structures in the presence of K + with hybrid-type structures predominating. UVB irradiation of d[AGGG(TTAGGG) 3 ] in the presence of Na + results in a cis,syn thymine dimer between two adjacent Ts in a TTA loop and a mixture of nonadjacent anti thymine dimers between various loops. Irradiation in the presence of K + , however, produces, in addition to these same products, a large amount of specific anti thymine dimers formed between either T in loop 1 and the central T in loop 3. These latter species were not observed in the presence of Na + . Interloop-specific anti thymine dimers are incompatible with hybrid-type structures, but could arise from a chair or basket-type structure or from triplex intermediates involved in interconverting these structures. If these unique nonadjacent anti thymine dimer photoproducts also form in vivo, they would constitute a previously unrecognized type of DNA photodamage that may interfere with telomere replication and present a unique challenge to DNA repair. Furthermore, these unusual anti photoproducts may be used to establish the presence of G-quadruplex or quadruplex-like structures in vivo.

Photoreactions are enhanced in telomeres, with possible interstrand lesion formation in the quadruplex region.
“Evidence has also been provided for the enhanced efficiency of photoreactions in telomeres (70) with the possible formation of interstrand lesions in the quadruplex region (71).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
