Making sense of G‐quadruplex and i‐motif functions in oncogene promoters

Open access
Brooks, Tracy A., Kendrick, Samantha, Hurley, Laurence·2010·The FEBS Journal

Abstract

The presence and biological importance of DNA secondary structures in eukaryotic promoters are becoming increasingly recognized among chemists and biologists as bioinformatics in vitro and in vivo evidence for these structures in the c‐Myc, c‐Kit, KRAS, PDGF‐A, hTERT, Rb, RET and Hif‐1α promoters accumulates. Nevertheless, the evidence remains largely circumstantial. This minireview differs from previous ones in that here we examine the diversity of G‐quadruplex and i‐motif structures in promoter elements and attempt to categorize the different types of arrangements in which they are found. For the c‐Myc G‐quadruplex and Bcl‐2 i‐motif, we summarize recent biological and structural studies.

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.
