摘要: Mutations in the RecQ DNA helicase gene BLM give rise to Bloom's syndrome, which is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by genetic instability and cancer predisposition. highly active binding unwinding G-quadruplexes (G4s), are physiological targets for BLM, as revealed genome-wide characterizations of expression cells from BS patients. With smFRET assays, we studied molecular mechanism BLM-catalyzed G4 unfolding showed that ATP required unfolding. Surprisingly, depending on environments G4, unfolds through different mechanisms: harboring 3′-ssDNA tail three discrete steps with unidirectional translocation, connected dsDNA ssDNA repetitive manner remains anchored at ss/dsDNA junction, was unfolded reeling ssDNA. This indicates one molecule may unfold G4s mechanisms.
