ILs are known to provide a conducive environment for many biological enzymatic reactions, but their interaction with biomacromolecules are poorly understood. In the present study, we investigate the effect of various ionic liquids on DNA small molecule interaction using calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) ethidium bromide (EB) as a model system. The effect of various ionic liquids on these interactions is studied by an array of techniques such as circular dichroism (CD), UV melting, fluorescence exclusion and isothermal titration calorimetry. Interestingly, we observed that presence of IL increased the stability of ctDNA without altering its structure. The binding affinities Kbs for EB binding to ctDNA in the presence of 300 mM ILs are about half order of magnitude smaller than the Kbs in absence of ILs and correspond to a less favorable free energy. We noted that, when adjusted to corresponding buffer condition, the unfavorable shift in AG of ctDNA-EB interaction is attributed to decreased entropy in the case of ILs, whereas the same effect by NaCI was due to increased enthalpy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.187</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Arpita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandey, Satya Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joshi, Dheeraj Chandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rana, Priya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ansari, Asgar Hussain</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sundar, Jennifer Seematti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Praveen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Yasmeen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ekka, Mary Krishna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chakraborty, Debojyoti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maiti, Souvik</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Identification of G-quadruplex structures in MALAT1 lncRNA that interact with nucleolin and nucleophosmin</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Research</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2023</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9415-9431</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	Nuclear-retained long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) including MALAT1 have emerged as critical regulators of many molecular processes including transcription, alternative splicing and chromatin organization. Here, we report the presence of three conserved and thermodynamically stable RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s) located in the 3 &amp;amp; PRIME; region of MALAT1. Using rG4 domain-specific RNA pull-down followed by mass spectrometry and RNA immunoprecipitation, we demonstrated that the MALAT1 rG4 structures are specifically bound by two nucleolar proteins, Nucleolin (NCL) and Nucleophosmin (NPM). Using imaging, we found that the MALAT1 rG4s facilitate the localization of both NCL and NPM to nuclear speckles, and specific G-to-A mutations that disrupt the rG4 structures compromised the localization of both NCL and NPM in speckles. In vitro biophysical studies established that a truncated version of NCL (&amp;amp; UDelta;NCL) binds tightly to all three rG4s. Overall, our study revealed new rG4s within MALAT1, established that they are specifically recognized by NCL and NPM, and showed that disrupting the rG4s abolished localization of these proteins to nuclear speckles&lt;/p&gt;
