“…The family of C-nucleosides (4)(5)(6)(7)(8) forms in the solid and in the gas phase an extremely regular arrangement of proton-bound heterodimers stabilized by the presence of three hydrogen bonds between the two nucleobases. The bond parameters are similar to those of the Watson-Crick structure of the neutral C-G dimer.…”

“…A strong impulse to the research in this field was presented by the discovery that atypical DNA conformations play a role in expansions of repeated trinucleotide motifs which cause a multiplicity of severe human diseases [7,8]. These pathological expansions include the (CCG) n ⅐(CGG) n repeats, related to the fragile-X syndrome, the (CAG) n ⅐(CTG) n repeats related to Kennedy's and Huntington's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia and myotonic dystrophy, and the (GAA) n ⅐(TTC) n repeats associated with Friedrich's ataxia [9 -12].…”

“…Sequence analysis has shown the disease state to be associated with expansion of repetitive sequences of three nucleotides, most commonly (CAG) n ͞(CTG) n , and (CCG) n ͞ (CGG) n repeats, copied beyond a critical threshold value. Consequently, these diseases collectively are referred to as triplet expansion diseases (1)(2)(3)(4). Even in healthy subjects, three nucleotide repeat domains in chromosomes are highly variable in length but generally do not exceed the threshold value of Ϸ30 repeats.…”

“…Assim, a função de ATR não é somente relacionada a resposta a danos no DNA causados por luz UV, mas também para responder a qualquer complicação durante a replicação. Regiões do genoma -mesmo sem danos externos -podem ser obstáculos à progressão da forquilha, como regiões altamente repetitivas que podem formar grampos e bloquear a replicação (Wells, 1996) ou colisões entre transcrição e replicação, principalmente em genes longos (Helmrich et al, 2011). De fato, ATR é responsável por evitar quebras através da regulação de sítios frágeis (Casper et al, 2002), em que são encontradas repetições CGG e AT, além de estruturas não-canônicas de DNA diferentes de DNA-B (Aguilera e Gómez-González, 2008).…”
