<p>Though advances in nanotechnology have enabled the construction of synthetic nucleic acid based nanoarchitectures with ever-increasing complexity for various applications, high-resolution structures are lacking due to the difficulty of obtaining good diffracting crystals. Here we report the design of RNA nanostructures based on homooligomerizable tiles from an RNA single-strand for X-ray determination. Three structures are solved to near-atomic resolution: a 2D parallelogram, an unexpectedly formed 3D nanobracelet, and a 3D nanocage. Structural details of their constituent motifs—such as kissing loops, branched kissing-loops and T-junctions—that resemble natural RNA motifs and resisted X-ray determination are revealed. This work unveils the largely unexplored potential of crystallography in gaining high-resolution feedback for nanostructure design and suggests a novel route to investigate RNA motif structures by configuring them into nanoarchitectures.</p>

Stimulation Of

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post translational modification, predominantly catalyzed by Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in response to DNA damage, mediating the DNA repair process to maintain genomic integrity. Single strand (SSB) and double strand (DSB) DNA breaks are bonafide stimulators of PARP1 activity. We identified that, in addition, single strand (ss) DNA also binds and stimulates the PARP1 activity. Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is chemically similar to ssDNA. However, PAR mediated PARP1 regulation remains unexplored. Here, we report ZnF3, BRCT and WGR, hitherto uncharacterized, as PAR-specific reader domains of PARP1. Surprisingly, these domains recognize PARylated protein with a higher affinity compared to PAR, but do not bind to DNA. Conversely, N-terminal domains, ZnF1 and ZnF2, of PARP1 recognize DNA but not PAR. Further competition binding studies suggest that PAR binding, allosterically releases DNA from PARP1. Unexpectedly, PAR showed catalytic stimulation of PARP1 but hampers the DNA dependent stimulation. Altogether, our work discovers dedicated PAR and DNA reader domains of the PARP1, and uncovers a novel mechanism of allosteric stimulation of the catalytic activity of PARP1 but retardation of DNA-dependent activities of PARP1 by its catalytic product PAR.

Recent data suggest that the DNA damage response (DDR) is altered in the eutopic endometrium (EE) of women with endometriosis and this probably ensues in response to higher DNA damage encountered by the EE in endometriosis. DDR operates in a tissue-specific manner and involves different pathways depending on the type of DNA lesions. Among these pathways, the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway plays a critical role in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. The present study was undertaken to explore whether NHEJ is affected in the EE of women with endometriosis. Towards this, we focused on the X-Ray Repair Cross-Complementing 4 (XRCC4) protein, one of the core components of the NHEJ pathway. Endometrial XRCC4 protein levels in the mid-proliferative phase were found significantly (p<0.05) downregulated in women with endometriosis, compared to control women. Investigation of a microarray-based largest dataset in the GEO database (GSE51981) revealed a similar trend at the transcript level in the EE of women with endometriosis, compared to control women. Further in-vitro studies were undertaken to explore the effects of H2O2-induced oxidative stress on DNA damage, as assessed by γ-H2AFX and 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) immunolocalization, and XRCC4 protein levels in endometrial stromal (ThESCs) and epithelial (Ishikawa) cells. A significant decrease in XRCC4 protein levels and significantly higher localization of γ-H2AFX and 8-OHdG were evident in ThESCs and Ishikawa cells experiencing oxidative stress. Overall, the study demonstrates that the endometrial XRCC4 expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis and this could be due to higher oxidative stress in endometriosis.
