G-quadruplexes (G4s) are nucleic acid structures found enriched within gene regulatory sequences. G4s control fundamental cellular processes, including replication, transcription, and translation. Proto-oncogenes are enriched with G4 sequences, while tumor-suppressor genes are depleted, suggesting roles for G4s in cell survival and proliferation. Specialized helicases participate in G4-mediated gene regulation via enzymatic unwinding activity. One such enzyme, DHX36/G4R1, is the major G4-helicase and is a master regulator of G4-DNAs and mRNAs. G4-resolution promotes the expression of proproliferative genes; as such, DHX36/G4R1 promotes cell proliferation. Little is known about how DHX36/G4R1 itself is regulated in nondividing cells. We hypothesized that DHX36/G4R1 protein binding partners are altered when a cell transitions from a dividing to a quiescent state. We found that DHX36/G4R1 co-purifies with a distinct set of proteins under quiescent conditions, which may represent a novel complex that regulates DHX36/G4R1 during cell cycle transitions and have implications for development and cancer.
