Probe development for detection of TERRA 1 intramolecular G-quadruplex formation using a fluorescent adenosine derivative

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

We developed a probing system to detect the intramolecular G-quadruplex of telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA 1). We used a fluorescent adenosine derivative rApy as a fluorophore and incorporated it into the dangling position of the parallel-type G-quadruplex sequence of TERRA 1. The rApy-modified G-quadruplex structure exhibited a strong fluorescence emission signal, while the emission signals of the single-strand and duplex structures were much lower.
