Quantifying telomeric lncRNAs using PNA-labelled RNA-Flow FISH (RNA-Flow)

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
Telomeric-associated long non-coding RNAs TERRA and TERC can be quantified in culture cell lines and human PBMCs using peptide nucleic acid probes with flow cytometry (RNA-Flow).

Studies on the relation between heme and nucleic acid syntheses in erythroid cell. II. Nucleic acid synthesis in erythroblast of anemic rat treated with aminopterin and bromouracil [PDF]

open access: yes, 1968
With the bone marrow of anemic rats, which had received the repeated injections of phenylhydrazine once a day for three to four days, the effects of aminopterin and bromouracil on the nucleic acid metabolism of erythroblasts were observed in vivo ...

Potential applications of peptide nucleic acid in biomedical domain

open access: yesEngineering Reports, 2020
Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) are DNA/RNA synthetic analogs with 2‐([2‐aminoethyl] amino) acetic acid backbone. They partake unique antisense and antigene properties, just due to its inhibitory effect on transcription and translation; they also undergo ...

Chiral Peptide Nucleic Acids with a Substituent in the N-(2-Aminoethy)glycine Backbone

open access: yesMolecules, 2012
A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic nucleic acid mimic in which the sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by a peptide backbone. PNAs hybridize to complementary DNA and RNA with higher affinity and superior sequence selectivity compared to DNA ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Synthesis and Biological Properties of Caffeic Acid-PNA Dimers Containing Guanine

open access: yesMolecules, 2013
Caffeic acid (CA; 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is endowed with high antioxidant activity. CA derivatives (such as amides) have gained a lot of attention due to their antioxidative, antitumor and antimicrobial properties as well as stable characteristics ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

An Introduction to Peptide Nucleic Acid

open access: yes, 1999
Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a powerful new biomolecular tool with a wide range of important applications. PNA mimics the behaviour of DNA and binds complementary nucleic acid strands.

Differences and Similarities in Protein and Nucleic Acid Structures and Their Biological Interactions

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
Protein and nucleic acid play central roles in biology and pharmaceuticals. Both share a similar architecture made of a backbone and side chains. Protein has a peptide backbone and various side chains, whereas nucleic acid has a phosphate backbone and ...
