Molecular insight into the selective binding between human telomere G-quadruplex and a negatively charged stabilizer.
The single-strand human telomere overhang forms intramolecular high-order structures named G-quadruplex (G4) under physiological conditions. Telomere G4 stabilization prevents telomere lengthening by telomerase in cancer cells representing a promising strategy in cancer therapy. Using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, specific binding of the anionic phthalocyanine 3,4',4'',4'''-tetrasulfonic acid (APC) to the human hybrid (3 + 1) G4s was investigated at the atomic level. We found that APC preferred the end-stacking binding with the telomere hybrid type II (hybrid-II) G4 as compared to the groove binding with the hybrid type I (hybrid-I) G4 remarkable stabilizing effect and more favourable binding free energies. Analysis of non-covalent interaction and decomposition of the binding free energy revealed that van der Waals interaction played a leading role in the binding of APC and telomere hybrid G4s. These findings provide evidence for the first time to shed light on the designs of selective telomere G4 stabilizers.
