Folding‐upon‐repair DNA nanoswitches for monitoring DNA repair enzymes activity
PublikacjaWe demonstrate here a new class of DNA‐based nanoswitches that, upon enzymatic repair, could undergo a conformational change mechanism leading to a change in fluorescent signal. Such folding‐upon‐repair DNA nanoswitches are synthetic DNA sequences containing O6‐methyl‐guanine (O6‐MeG) nucleobases and labelled with a fluorophore/quencher optical pair. The nanoswitches are rationally designed so that only upon enzymatic demethylation...

Therapeutic intervention by the simultaneous inhibition of DNA repair and type I or type II DNA topoisomerases: one strategy, many outcomes
PublikacjaMany anticancer drugs reduce the integrity of DNA, forming strand breaks. This can cause mutations and cancer or cell death if the lesions are not repaired. Interestingly, DNA repair-deficient cancer cells (e.g., those with BRCA1/2 mutations) have been shown to exhibit increased sensitivity to chemotherapy. Based on this observation, a new therapeutic approach termed 'synthetic lethality' has been developed, in which radiation...

Electroanalytical and spectroscopic procedures for examination of interactions between double stranded DNA and intercalating drugs
PublikacjaPrzedstawiono metodę elektrochemicznego opisu oddziaływań dsDNA ze związkiem biologicznie czynnym w warunkach, w których zarówno badany związek jak i cząsteczka DNA są w roztworze elektrolitu. Opracowano warunki pomiaru, gdzie ani związek, ani DNA nie adsorbuje na elektrodzie. Wykazano, podobnie jak podczas badania innymi metodami, że oddziaływania są dwojakiego rodzaju: elektrostatyczne i poporzez interkalację.

Detoxification of the tricyclic antidepressant opipramol and its analog – IS-noh by UGT enzymes before and after activation by phase I enzymes in rat liver microsomes
PublikacjaThe present studies were carried out to evaluate the simultaneous one-pot metabolism of opipramol (IS-opi) and analog (IS-noh) by phase I and phase II enzymes present in rat liver microsomes (RLM) as an alternative to separate testing with recombinant enzymes. This approach allows for more time-saving and cost-effective screening of the metabolism of newly discovered drugs. We also considered that the lack of results for phase...

Two highly thermostable paralogous single-stranded DNA-binding proteins from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis
PublikacjaThe thermophilic bacterium Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis has two single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) proteins, designated TteSSB2 and TteSSB3. In a SSB complementation assay in Escherichia coli, only TteSSB3 took over the in vivo function of EcoSSB. We have cloned the ssb genes obtained by PCR and have developed E. coli overexpression systems. The TteSSB2 and TteSSB3 consist of 153 and 150 amino acids with a calculated molecular...

Interaction of antitumor triazoloacridone C-1305 and its analogs with telomeric DNA
PublikacjaBadaliśmy oddziaływanie pochodnej triazoloakrydonu C-1305 i jego bliskich analogów strukturalnych z oligonukleotydami zawierającycmi sekwencje telomerowe TTAGGG oraz oligonukleotydami sfałdowanymi w strukturę G-kwadrupleksu. Wykazaliśmy, że spośród badanych związków pochodna C-1305 wykazała największą specyficzność w stosunku do telomerowego DNA. Związek ten stabilizował także strukturę G-kwadrupleksu, podczas gdy jego analogi...

Cellular senescence induced by DNA damage and its role in carcinogenesis and chemotherapy
PublikacjaUszkodzenia DNA indukują w komórce różne procesy, w tym starzenie komórkowe, co może uruchamiać proces karcinogenezy jak i być związane z odpowiedzią na leki przecinowotworowe. Biologiczna rola starzenia komórkowego nie jest jednak jasna. Zasugerowano, że proces starzenia komórkowego może hamować proces karcinogenezy poprzez indukcję nieodwracalnego zahamowania wzrostu przez czynniki genotoksyczne. Indukcja starzenia komórkowego...

Epigenetic Basis of Regeneration: Analysis of Genomic DNA Methylation Profiles in the MRL/MpJ Mouse
PublikacjaEpigenetic regulation plays essential role in cell differentiation and dedifferentiation, which are the intrinsic processes involved in regeneration. To investigate the epigenetic basis of regeneration capacity, we choose DNA methylation as one of the most important epigenetic mechanisms and the MRL/MpJ mouse as a model of mammalian regeneration known to exhibit enhanced regeneration response in different organs. We report the...

Novel thermostable single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) from Deinococcus geothermalis
PublikacjaW celu zbadania właściwości biochemicznych białka wiążącego się do jednoniciowego DNA (SSB) pochodzącego z Deinococcus geothermalis (DgeSSB), sklonowano gen ssb otrzymany w reakcji PCR, a następnie uzyskano wydajną biosyntezę białka DgeSSB. Gen składa się z 900 par zasad, kodujących białko złożone z 300 reszt aminokwasowych, o wyliczonej masie molekularnej równej 32.45 kDa. Sekwencja aminokwasowa wykazuje 43, 44% i 75% identyczności...

GRA1 protein vaccine confers better immune response compared to codon-optimized GRA1 DNA vaccine
PublikacjaW publikacji oszacowano immunogenność i właściwości protekcyjne szczepionki anty-Toxoplasma gondii opartej na białku rekombinantowym GRA1 oraz dwóch rodzajach szczepionek DNA (plazmidu zawierającego gen kodujący białko GRA1 dzikiego typu oraz modyfikowanego genu kodującego białko GRA1). Uzyskane wyniki sugerują lepsze właściowści immunoprotekcyjne rekombinantowego białka antygenowego niż szczepionek DNA.

Mechanical properties of mosquito nets in the context of hernia repair
PublikacjaThe paper deals with issue of applying mosquito nets as implants in hernia repair, which have already been used in resource-poor developing countries. Uniaxial tensile tests have been conducted on polyester mosquito meshes in two orthogonal directions. Non-linear elastic constitutive laws parameters have been identified to be applied in dense net material models. Mechanical performance of tested mosquito nets has been compared...

Generation and Characterization of a DNA-GCN4 Oligonucleotide-Peptide Conjugate: The Impact DNA/Protein Interactions on the Sensitization of DNA
PublikacjaRadiotherapy, the most common therapy for the treatment of solid tumors, exerts its effects by inducing DNA damage. To fully understand the extent and nature of this damage, DNA models that mimic the in vivo situation should be utilized. In a cellular context, genomic DNA constantly interacts with proteins and these interactions could influence both the primary radical processes (triggered by ionizing radiation) and secondary reactions,...
