The MYC gene is critical during tumor initiation and malignant progression, in which G4 acts as an important modulation motif. Herein, we reported the MYC promoter G4 recognized by a platinum(II) compound Pt-phen. Two Pt-phen-MYC G4 complex structures in 5 mM K+ were determined by NMR. The Pt-phen first strongly binds the 3'-end of MYC G4 to form a 1:1 3'-end binding complex and then binds 5'-end to form a 2:1 complex with more Pt-phen. In the complexes, the Pt-phen molecules are well-defined and stack over four bases at the G-tetrad for a highly extensive pi-pi interaction, with the Pt atom aligning with the center of the G-tetrad. The flanking residues were observed to rearrange and cover on top of Pt-phen to stabilize the whole complex. We further demonstrated that Pt-phen targets G4 DNA in living cells and represses MYC gene expression in cancer cells. Our work elucidated the structural basis of ligand binding to MYC promoter G4. The platinum compound bound G4 includes multiple complexes formation, providing insights into the design of metal ligands targeting oncogene G4 DNA.
