Abstract excerpt
RET protein functions as a receptor-type tyrosine kinase and has been found to be aberrantly expressed in a wide range of human diseases. A highly GC-rich region upstream of the promoter plays an important role in the transcriptional regulation of RET. Here, we report the NMR solution structure of the major intramolecular G-quadruplex formed on the G-rich strand of this region in K(+) solution. The overall...
