ABSTRACT: Guanine (G)-quadruplexes (G4s) can be formed by G-rich sequences when stabilized with the binding of cations (typically K+ or Na+), and play an essential role in replication, recombination, transcription and telomere maintenance. Understanding of G4 folding process is crucial to determine their cellular functions. However, G4-K+ interactions and folding pathways are still not well understood. By using human telomeric G4 (hTG4) as an example, two binding states corresponding to two K+ binding to hTG4 were distinguished clearly and fitted precisely. The basic binding parameters during G4-K+ interactions were measured and calculated taking the advantage of MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) which monitors the changes of charge and size at the same time. G-hairpin and G-triplex have been suggested as intermediates during G4 folding/unfolding. We further analyzed the equilibrium dissociation constants of ten possible folding intermediates using MST, thus the energetically favorable folding/unfolding pathways were proposed. The results might not only shed new light on G4-K+ interactions and G4 folding pathways, but also give an example to experimentally study DNA-ion interactions.

G4s are four-stranded non-B form secondary nucleic acid structures held together by Hoogsteen-bonded planar G-quartets, and stabilized by cations such as K+ and Na+

1, 2.

Recently, G4s have attracted more attention of researchers due to their importance in replication,

recombination, transcription and telomere maintenance 3, as well as their applications as smart biosensors and molecular devices 4. Human telomeric G4 (hTG4) DNA is one of most studied G4 structure, since its significance in telomere regulation and potential ability in anticancer drug design 5. It is thought that K+ induced G4 structures are more relevant in physiological conditions due to high concentration of K+ among intracellular cations 6. Different methods such as structural 6-8, single-molecule 9-11, computational 12, 13 and kinetic methods 14, 15 have been used to study hTG4 properties 16, resulting in many structural and kinetic details of hTG4 in K+ solution. Regardless of the topological structures, the folding process of hTG4 DNA contains two main steps, which comprises subsequent binding of two K+ to hTG4 sequence (Figure 1A, inset)

12, 14, 17.

However, because the K+ binding and structural changes are difficult to

capture at the same time, the basic binding parameters of K+ with hTG4 in each step, such as equilibrium dissociation constants (KD), standard enthalpy change (CH ), standard entropy change ( S ) and standard Gibbs free energy change (

), which are essential for revealing the

kinetic folding of hTG4, are still not comparatively measured or calculated in one system 17, 18. Understanding of G4 folding intermediates will be helpful in deciphering G4 cellular functions as well as designing of anticancer drugs. Therefore, many theoretical

12, 19, 20

and experimental

14, 21-30

studies have been carried out, which suggests the involvement of G-

hairpin and G-triplex in G4 folding/unfolding pathways. In particular, G-hairpin and G-triplex structures induced by salt and ligand are confirmed directly at single-molecule level using DNA origami and atomic force microscopy (AFM) 22, 23, and also detected by NMR 21, 30. Further, G-hairpin and G-triplex related folding dynamics of intra-strand hTG4 has been studied by us using single-molecule D resonance energy transfer method 9. However, there is possibility of six G-hairpins and four G-triplexes, regardless of the topological structures, which prompts us to speculate 24 kinds of folding/unfolding pathways (Figure 3B). Out of these, are there the energetically favorable folding/unfolding pathways? Table 1. The sequence of hTG4 and the KD values of K+ binding to hTG4 at different temperatures. Substrat e

MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) is one kind of molecular interaction quantifying methods, based on the motion differences of molecules in microscopic temperature gradients 31. It is sensitive to molecular properties such as size, charge and hydration shell, and has been widely used to study DNA-DNA, DNA-protein, protein-protein and protein-small molecule interactions

31-34.

In the current study,

taking advantage of MST’s ability to simultaneously detect ion binding (charge change) and structural change, we accurately characterized 3

the binding kinetics of hTG4 with K+. We not only measured the KD values, but also calculated CH , S and

for each K+ binding.

Furthermore, the most stable intermediates and the energetically favorable folding pathways were dissected out by analyzing the binding constants of ten kinds of possible G-hairpin and G-triplex intermediates. MATERIAL AND METHODS MST preparations. All DNA oligonucleotides labeled with 5’-FAM were purchased from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China). The sequences of these oligonucleotides were given in Table 1 and 2. The MST reaction buffer contained 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), and different concentrations of KCl (0.03-1000 mM). The substrate concentration (oligonucleotides) annealed in each MST reaction was 1 K , The annealing reaction was performed by incubating at 95 C for 5 min, there after slow cooling to room temperature in about 3 hours. MST data acquisition. The MST assays were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol using NanoTemper monolith NT.115 (NanoTemper Technologies, Germany). Briefly, different kinds of DNA substrates (20 nM) were incubated with varying concentrations of KCl in MST reaction buffer for 30 min at 22 C. Afterward, the experiments were carried out using 60% LED power and 40% MST, Laser-On time 30 s and Laser-Off time 5 s at specific temperatures (Figure S1). Original fluorescence data was collected from thermophoresis signal via NTAnalysis from three independent experiments. MST data analysis. The KD values were calculated via the mass action equation using Nanotemper Analysis. The CH and CS were fitted using Equation 1 (Note S1 for computation details):

Where c is normal concentration (1 mol·L-1), R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J·mol-1·K-1), and T is absolute temperature. RESULTS Two subsequent K+ binding progresses can be detected during hTG4 folding using MST. In order to determine the thermodynamic interactions of hTG4 with K+, the D

# ! labeled hTG4 (20 nM) substrate was mixed with increasing concentrations of potassium

chloride (0.03 to 1000 mM). Using MST technology, firstly fluorescence traces were measured at 22 C (Figure S1), thereafter thermophoretic changes were calculated and plotted (Figure 1A). Surprisingly, a biphasic binding pattern was observed. The first and second progresses could correspond to the first and second K+ binding to hTG4 sequence respectively (Figure 1A, inset), because only these two steps of binding can maximally change the charge and structure of hTG4. This finding is also consistent with subsequent binding of two K+ with the increase of KCl concentration 17. Based on the principle of MST, the normalized fluorescence change can be detected due to the thermophoretic movement of the fluorescence labeled molecules out of the heated sample volume 32. Due to the binding of non-fluorescent ligands, the thermophoretic movement of fluorescence-labeled molecules may be faster leading to decreased fluorescence or be lower resulting in increased fluorescence. The change in the migration speed is complex which depends on the combined impact of alterations in size, charge and hydration shell. Here, the first K+ binding could decrease the speed of thermophoretic movement, on the contrary, the second 4

energetically favorable intermediate. Thus, KD values were used to infer the stability of different intermediates. The fact that 5’ G-hairpin (G1-2) and 5’ G-triplex (G1-2-3) were more stable than 3’ G-hairpin (G3-4) and 5’ G-triplex (G2-3-4) agreed with our single-molecule experiments 9. Moreover, based on the experimental KD values, it can be revealed that G1-2 and G1-4 type G-hairpins as well as G1-2-4 type G-triplex were most stable in the same kind. Therefore, the energetically favorable G4 folding/unfolding pathways were proposed (Figure 3B): The binding of first K+ to hTG4 sequence induces it to fold into G1-2 or G1-4 type G-hairpin, which then folded into G1-2-4 type Gtriplex. The subsequent binding of another K+ leads to the formation of fully folded hTG4 structure. It is noteworthy that the most stable Ghairpin G1-2 and G1-4 further folded into the same G-triplex G1-2-4, which reflects the accuracy of MST technique. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first prediction of energetically favorable G4 folding/unfolding pathways from the comparative stability study of all possible intermediates, and G1-2-4 type G-triplex was not considered before in both theoretical 12, 20 and experimental 14, 21-30 studies.

DISCUSSION In this study, we used simple and sensitive MST technique 32, 34, attempting to dissect out the basic binding parameters including KD ,CH , C S and CG (Figure 1,2 and Table S1) during G4 folding. Further two energetically favorable folding pathways were revealed from 24 possible pathways using mutated hTG4 (Figure 3 and Table 2). Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been utilized to determine the number of K+ binding with hTG4 with increasing K+ concentrations 17. The major limitation of ESI-MS experiments is the inability to simulate real binding equilibrium in solution and reflect structural changes. Moreover, CH , CS

and CG were also not considered in this study. Recently, the binding parameters of hTG4 with

K+ were calculated based on thermo and structural changes with K+ binding which were measured respectively via differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy 18. The fitting of folding states using global analysis demonstrated there was

G-triplex is thought to be the core intermediate. While we found that the most stable G-triplex is G1-2-4, which should be given more consideration in further fundamental and medical studies.
