Abstract

Different studies indicated that the prion protein induces hybridization of complementary DNA strands. Cell culture studies showed that the scrapie isoform of prion protein remained bound with the chromosome. In present work, we used an oxazole dye, YOYO, as a reporter to quantitative characterization of the DNA condensation by prion protein. We observe that the prion protein induces greater fluorescence quenching of YOYO intercalated in DNA containing only GC bases compared to the DNA containing four bases whereas the effect of dye bound to DNA containing only AT bases is marginal. DNA-condensing biological polyamines are less effective than prion protein in quenching of DNA-bound YOYO fluorescence. The prion protein induces marginal quenching of fluorescence of the dye bound to oligonucleotides, which are resistant to condensation. The ultrastructural studies with electron microscope also validate the biophysical data. The GC bases of the target DNA are probably responsible for increased condensation in the presence of prion protein. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a human cellular protein inducing a sequence-dependent DNA condensation. The increased condensation of GC-rich DNA by prion protein may suggest a biological function of the prion protein and a role in its pathogenesis.

朊病毒蛋白诱导的序列依赖性DNA凝聚。
不同的研究表明,朊病毒蛋白诱导互补DNA链的杂交。细胞培养研究表明,痒病朊蛋白的同型体仍然与染色体结合。在本工作中,我们使用一种恶唑染料YOYO作为朊病毒蛋白凝结DNA的定量表征。我们观察到,与含有4个碱基的DNA相比,朊病毒蛋白在只含有GC碱基的DNA中嵌入YOYO时,诱导了更大的荧光猝灭,而染料与只含有AT碱基的DNA结合的影响很小。dna凝聚型生物多胺对dna结合YOYO荧光的猝灭效果不如朊病毒蛋白。朊病毒蛋白诱导与寡核苷酸结合的染料的荧光边缘猝灭,从而抵抗缩合。电镜超微结构研究也验证了生物物理数据。目标DNA的GC碱基可能是在朊病毒蛋白存在下增加凝聚的原因。据我们所知,这是人类细胞蛋白诱导序列依赖性DNA凝聚的第一个报告。富含gc的DNA被朊病毒蛋白凝聚的增加可能提示了朊病毒蛋白的生物学功能及其发病机制中的作用。
