[PMID: 38715128 PMCID: PMC11077815 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-024-01205-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Modification of marketed drugs is an important way to develop drugs because its safety and clinical applicability. Oxygen-nitrogen heterocycles are a class of important active substances discovered in the process of new drug development. Dolutegravir, an HIV drug with a nitrogen-oxygen heterocycle structure, has the potential ability to inhibit cell survival. In order to find and explore novel anti-tumor drugs, new dolutegravir derivatives bearing different 1,2,3-triazole moieties were prepared via click reactions. In vitro biological experiments performed in several lung cancer cell lines suggested that these novel compounds displayed potent anti-tumor ability. Especially, the compound 9e with a substituent of 2-methyl-3-nitrophenyl and the compound 9p with a substituent of 3-trifluoromethylphenyl were effective against PC-9 cell line with IC50 values of 3.83 and 3.17 µM, respectively. Moreover, compounds 9e and 9p were effective against H460 and A549 cells. Further studies suggested that compounds 9e and 9p could induce cancer cell apoptosis in PC-9 and H460, inhibit cancer cell proliferation, change the cell cycle, and increase the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which further induce tumor cell apoptosis. In addition, compounds 9e and 9p increased LC3 protein expression which was the key regulator in autophagy signaling pathway in PC-9 cells. Compound 9e also showed low toxicity against normal cells, and could be regarded as an interesting lead compound for further structure optimization.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Effectiveness of anti-HIV in the prevention of perinatal transmission has been established. Assessing the tolerance of drug exposure during pregnancy is of the utmost importance given the number of children exposed. HIV integrase and the recombinase-activating gene enzyme involved in the establishment of the T-lymphocyte repertoire show structural similarity. The inhibition of recombinase-activating (RAG) gene by anti-integrases is observed in vitro, in a variable way according to the molecules. Here, we show that in utero exposure to raltegravir did not alter the T-lymphocyte repertoire of 12 newborns. These reassuring data merit verification for other anti-integrases.

Nonamer dependent RAG cleavage at CpGs can explain mechanism of chromosomal translocations associated to lymphoid cancers. PLoS Genet 2022; 18:e1010421. [PMID: 36228010 PMCID: PMC9595545 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Chromosomal translocations are considered as one of the major causes of lymphoid cancers. RAG complex, which is responsible for V(D)J recombination, can also cleave non-B DNA structures and cryptic RSSs in the genome leading to chromosomal translocations. The mechanism and factors regulating the illegitimate function of RAGs resulting in oncogenesis are largely unknown. Upon in silico analysis of 3760 chromosomal translocations from lymphoid cancer patients, we find that 93% of the translocation breakpoints possess adjacent cryptic nonamers (RAG binding sequences), of which 77% had CpGs in proximity. As a proof of principle, we show that RAGs can efficiently bind to cryptic nonamers present at multiple fragile regions and cleave at adjacent mismatches generated to mimic the deamination of CpGs. ChIP studies reveal that RAGs can indeed recognize these fragile sites on a chromatin context inside the cell. Finally, we show that AID, the cytidine deaminase, plays a significant role during the generation of mismatches at CpGs and reconstitute the process of RAG-dependent generation of DNA breaks both in vitro and inside the cells. Thus, we propose a novel mechanism for generation of chromosomal translocation, where RAGs bind to the cryptic nonamer sequences and direct cleavage at adjacent mismatch generated due to deamination of meCpGs or cytosines.

Abstract
The retroviral protein Integrase (IN) catalyzes concerted integration of viral DNA into host chromatin to establish a permanent infection in the target cell. We learned a great deal about the mechanism of catalytic integration through structure/function studies over the previous four decades of IN research. As one of three essential retroviral enzymes, IN has also been targeted by antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV-infected individuals. Inhibitors blocking the catalytic integration reaction are now state-of-the-art drugs within the antiretroviral therapy toolkit. HIV-1 IN also performs intriguing non-catalytic functions that are relevant to the late stages of the viral replication cycle, yet this aspect remains poorly understood. There are also novel allosteric inhibitors targeting non-enzymatic functions of IN that induce a block in the late stages of the viral replication cycle. In this chapter, we will discuss the function, structure, and inhibition of retroviral IN proteins, highlighting remaining challenges and outstanding questions.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that human genome can fold into non-B DNA structures, when appropriate sequence and favourable conditions are present. Among these, G-quadruplexes (G4-DNA) are associated with gene regulation, chromosome fragility and telomere maintenance. Although several techniques are used in detecting such structures in vitro, understanding their intracellular existence has been challenging. Recently, an antibody, BG4, was described to study G4 structures within cells. Here, we characterize BG4 for its affinity towards G4-DNA, using several biochemical and biophysical tools. BG4 bound to G-rich DNA derived from multiple genes that form G-quadruplexes, unlike complementary C-rich or random sequences. BLI studies revealed robust binding affinity (Kd = 17.4 nM). Gel shift assays show BG4 binds to inter- and intramolecular G4-DNA, when it is in parallel orientation. Mere presence of G4-motif in duplex DNA is insufficient for antibody recognition. Importantly, BG4 can bind to G4-DNA within telomere sequence in a supercoiled plasmid. Finally, we show that BG4 binds to form efficient foci in four cell lines, irrespective of their lineage, demonstrating presence of G4-DNA in genome. Importantly, number of BG4 foci within the cells can be modulated, upon knockdown of G4-resolvase, WRN. Thus, we establish specificity of BG4 towards G4-DNA and discuss its potential applications.

Znc2 module of RAG1 contributes towards structure-specific nuclease activity of RAGs. Biochem J 2020; 477:3567-3582. [PMID: 32886094 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20200361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Revised: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Recombination activating genes (RAGs), consisting of RAG1 and RAG2 have ability to perform spatially and temporally regulated DNA recombination in a sequence specific manner. Besides, RAGs also cleave at non-B DNA structures and are thought to contribute towards genomic rearrangements and cancer. The nonamer binding domain of RAG1 binds to the nonamer sequence of the signal sequence during V(D)J recombination. However, deletion of NBD did not affect RAG cleavage on non-B DNA structures. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of other RAG domains when RAGs act as a structure-specific nuclease. Studies using purified central domain (CD) and C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RAG1 showed that CD of RAG1 exhibited high affinity and specific binding to heteroduplex DNA, which was irrespective of the sequence of single-stranded DNA, unlike CTD which showed minimal binding. Furthermore, we show that ZnC2 of RAG1 is crucial for its binding to DNA structures as deletion and point mutations abrogated the binding of CD to heteroduplex DNA. Our results also provide evidence that unlike RAG cleavage on RSS, central domain of RAG1 is sufficient to cleave heteroduplex DNA harbouring pyrimidines, but not purines. Finally, we show that a point mutation in the DDE catalytic motif is sufficient to block the cleavage of CD on heteroduplex DNA. Therefore, in the present study we demonstrate that the while ZnC2 module in central domain of RAG1 is required for binding to non-B DNA structures, active site amino acids are important for RAGs to function as a structure-specific nuclease.
