Cellular localization and allele-selective inhibition of mutant huntingtin protein by peptide nucleic acid oligomers containing the fluorescent nucleobase [bis-o-(aminoethoxy)phenyl]pyrrolocytosine
چکیده انگلیسی

Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a successful DNA/RNA mimic. A major challenge for research is to invent chemically modified PNAs that retain the favorable properties of the parent compound while improving biological recognition. Here, we test modified PNAs containing [bis-o-(aminoethoxy)phenyl]pyrrolocytosine bases designed to engage guanine with an additional hydrogen bond. We observe elevated melting temperatures, localization to cellular compartments, and allele-selective inhibition of mutant huntingtin protein expression.

Modified PNAs enter cells and inhibit expression of huntingtin.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
