Paper

  • Fibers and Double‐Layered Tubes Formed From a Single Self‐Complementary DNA Oligonucleotide
    So Shirai; Tetsunao Makino; Takashi Kajitani; Makiko Tanaka
    Last, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Wiley, e6741643, 23 Jun. 2026, Peer-reviwed, ABSTRACT

    This study reports the first observation that a short self‐complementary DNA oligonucleotide can self‐assemble into two distinct liquid‐crystalline architectures—long fibers and double‐layered molecular tubes—upon thermal annealing. These two morphologies are determined by depletion forces tuned by the concentration of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in solution. At lower PEG concentrations (25–30 w/v %), the depletion forces between duplexes are relatively weak. Under these conditions, nucleation occurs only at lower temperatures after sufficient duplex DNA has formed, leading to predominantly longitudinal growth and the formation of elongated DNA fibers. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) revealed a single columnar hexagonal packing structure within these fibers. At higher PEG concentrations (35–40 w/v %), the depletion forces become stronger. Under these conditions, nucleation occurs even at elevated temperatures, where the amount of duplex is still limited, leading to the formation of tubular assemblies. SAXS measurements conducted on the tubular DNA assemblies revealed two separate hexagonal lattice constants, suggesting differences in packing density between the inner core and the outer framework. This work establishes a new direction in DNA‐based materials design, demonstrating that hierarchical liquid‐crystalline architectures can emerge from a single short DNA oligonucleotide simply by tuning molecular crowding conditions.

  • Hierarchical assembly of short double-stranded DNA in a molecularly crowded environment

    Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) formed a liquid crystalline phase under molecularly crowded conditions. A single type of short dsDNA having 2-base overhangs spontaneously self-assembled into microsized hexagonal platelets in a solution containing poly(ethylene glycol) and salt. Remarkably, combining 2 dsDNAs of different lengths resulted in stepwise assembly formation, with the overhangs modulating the overall morphology by altering the growth direction.

  • Controlling the Hierarchical Assembly of DNA-Based Hexagonal Microstructures.
    Tetsunao Makino; Takashi Kajitani; Makiko Tanaka
    Last, Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), e2410243, 23 Dec. 2024, Peer-reviwed, True, This paper discusses the controlled morphology of hierarchical liquid crystalline DNA assemblies. Through a process of heating and slow cooling, double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs) having 23 complementary bases and two base overhangs (a pair of 25mer oligonucleotides) spontaneously assemble into micro-sized hexagonal platelets in a solution containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and salt. Remarkably, the addition of a shorter dsDNA with AA/TT overhangs (a pair of 18mer oligonucleotides) to a PEG-salt solution of 25mer DNA with AA/TT overhangs results in the formation of molecular tubes, each with a central blockage. In contrast, the addition of 18mer DNA with GG/CC overhangs leads to the formation of hexagonal frames from hexagonal platelets. In the assemblies, 18mer DNA is more predominant at the edges, while the central nuclei are composed of 25mer DNA. X-ray scattering measurements reveal that both molecular tubes and hexagonal frames form hexagonal columnar liquid crystalline assemblies. These self-assemblies are thought to result from depletion attraction due to PEG and end-to-end stacking between dsDNA overhangs. Differences in the melting temperatures between longer and shorter dsDNAs enable the stepwise formation of hierarchical assemblies, while variations in overhang sequences modulate the overall morphology by altering the growth direction of the assemblies.

  • 光を用いたDNAメゾスコピック凝縮反応場の機能分析
    田仲真紀子(庄司真紀子)
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 基盤研究(C), 電気通信大学, 基盤研究(C), Principal investigator, 本研究では、種々の分子夾雑・混雑環境でのDNA凝縮体の形成条件を検討し、メゾスコピックスケールの可逆的な微小凝縮場の形成がDNAに与える機能の解明を目指した。具体的には相分離凝縮場でのDNAの電子移動と核酸塩基損傷特性に着目し、光を用いて化学的アプローチにより解析を行うことで生体分子の微小反応場としての凝縮体の性質を調べた。DNA凝縮場でグアニン塩基、またその連続配列が電子移動により酸化損傷を受ける効率およびその特性については、まだほとんどが未解明である。そこで当該年度の研究ではまずホール捕捉により開環反応を起こすグアニン類縁体を含むDNA鎖を固相合成により合成し、光増感剤を含むDNA鎖とアニーリングにより相補鎖とした。この修飾DNAについてポリエチレングリコールを用いて人工的に作製した分子混雑環境下で液晶とした。修飾DNAを含む液晶について、光照射による電子移動をスタートさせグアニン酸化損傷を誘発する手法により、電子移動特性を評価した。高速液体クロマトグラフィーによる損傷塩基の定量を行い、それぞれの凝縮場での電子移動効率の評価を行った。その結果、凝縮場における電子移動効率の大幅な増大が観測された。解析の結果、液晶中でスタッキングした異なるDNA鎖間での電子移動が起こったことが示唆された。
    当初は購入を予定していた備品の凍結乾燥機については消耗品代その他の研究費用がかさみ、購入できなかったため、デモ機の使用とあわせ、時間とサンプルおよび消耗品であるカラム代のロスがあるが、遠心濃縮とカラムを用いてDNAの精製をおこなった。その他、実験に使用する小型機器、試薬、合成DNA、HPLCカラム、チップやチューブ等を購入した。, 21K05108

  • Creation of new genome science using chemical tools to precisely detect modification and damage of human genome

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), National Institute for Materials Science, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), Coinvestigator not use grants, We already developed super artificial restriction enzyme. In this research, we added affinity separating ability to this tool, and constructed the second- generation super artificial restriction enzyme. By modifying biotin to PNA which is a constituent of super restriction enzyme, we successfully extracted desired DNA fragments of several thousand base pairs in high purity and high yield from the human genome with 3 billion base pairs. Furthermore, by combining this biotin-modified PNA with S1 nuclease, we also succeeded in extracting desired DNA fragments from the human genome in one pot., 15H02189

  • Design of Environmentally Sensitive Fluorescent Nucleosides and Their Application to Innovative Fluorescence Probe for Gene Analysis
    SAITO Isao; SAITO Yoshio
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Nihon University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Coinvestigator, We have designed a novel type of base-discriminating fluorescent (BDF) nucleosides which are used for SNP genotyping and gene detection. We also succeeded to design environmentally sensitive fluorescent (ESF) nucleosides that emit strong fluorescence at different wavelengths depending upon a difference of local environment near the ESF base. The newly designed ESF nucleosides may discriminate structural changes such as single strands, matches, mismatches and deletions when incorporated in DNA by a significant change of emission wavelengths as well as their intensities. Quencher and end free molecular beacons (MB) were discovered for the first time by using newly designed ESF nucleosides. These low cost MB were used for the gene detection in a cell. ESF nucleosides that are sensitive to pH were also designed. Such pH sensor ESF nucleoside that emits strong fluorescence only at bellow pH 5.5 was used for the detection of cancer cell., 23350082
