Tuning fork, consisting of two fork arms and a fork handle, has a stable and rigid structure. Inspired by this structure, a tuning fork-shaped DNA (TF-DNA) fluorescence aptasensor was constructed to detect ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). A TF-DNA double-stranded structure capable of attaching both OTA aptamer labeled with the FAM fluorescent group (FAM-Apt) and AFB1 aptamer labeled with the ROX fluorescent group (ROX-Apt) was designed and linked to magnetic beads. This TF-DNA double-stranded structure can provide a stable platform for dual-target detection. In the presence of OTA and AFB1, FAM-Apt and ROX-Apt preferentially bound to them and detached from the TF-DNA double-stranded structure. Dual-signal fluorescent probes were collected from the supernatant by magnetic separation, and achieved fluorescence enhancement at 520 nm and 607 nm, respectively. The linear ranges are 0.05 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL for OTA and 0.1 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL for AFB1, and the detection limits are 0.015 ng/mL and 0.045 ng/mL, respectively. The developed sensor has the advantages of simple and fast preparation, good specificity and reproducibility, which is promising for the simultaneous determination of multiple hazardous substances in food.

Motivation: High-throughput chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing-based assays capture genomic regions associated with the profiled transcription factor (TF). ChIP-exo is a modified protocol, which uses lambda exonuclease to digest DNA close to the TF-DNA complex, in order to improve on the positional resolution of the TF-DNA contact. Because the digestion occurs in the 5'-3' orientation, the protocol produces directional footprints close to the complex, on both sides of the double stranded DNA.

Transcription factor (TF) recognition is dictated by the underlying DNA motif sequence specific for each TF. Here, we reveal that DNA sequence repeat symmetry plays a central role in defining TF-DNA-binding preferences. In particular, we find that different TFs bind similar symmetry patterns in the context of different developmental layers.

Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is a method that allows isolating specific nucleotide sequences that interact with a DNA binding protein of choice. By using a transcription factor (TF) and a randomized pool of double-stranded DNA, this technique can be used to characterize TF DNA binding specificities and affinities. The method is based on protein-DNA complex immunoprecipitation with protein-specific antibodies and subsequent DNA selection and amplification.

The development of drugs able to inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory genes is of great interest in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). Chronic pulmonary inflammation in the lungs of patients affected by CF is characterized by massive intra-bronchial infiltrates of neutrophils. This process is initiated upon interaction of pathogens (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa) with surface bronchial cells.
