EMSA results for candidate lncRNA•gDNA triple helices. (A) R•D-D schematics show sequences and modification sites (red) of the 22-nt segments from the three lncRNAs examined: AC068025.2 (TAOK1), AL157886.1, and LINC00940. The putative Watson–Crick and Hoogsteen interactions are represented by a solid line (|) and a dot (•), respectively. The asterisk (*) denotes the location of the 5'-[32P]-radiolabel. (B) Representative gel images of dsDNA (D-D) and unmodified 22-nt segments from the three lncRNAs examined. Only the AL157886.1 segment (center) shows a shift from dsDNA (D-D) to triple helix (R•D-D) as increasing amounts of RNA are added. No binding to dsDNA was observed for the AC068025.2 (TAOK1) and LINC00940 segments (left and right, respectively). The KD, EMSA value measured for AL157886.1•dsDNA is the average of four independent replicates and the associated standard deviation.
