G x A mismatched base pairs are frequently found in nucleic acids. Human centromere DNA sequences contain unusual repeating motifs, e.g. , (GAATG)n x (CATTC)n found in the human chromosome. The purine-rich strand of this repeating pentamer sequence forms duplex and hairpin structures with unusual stability. The high stability of these structures is contributed by the "sheared" G x A base pairs which present a novel recognition surface for ligands and proteins. We have solved the crystal structure, by the multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) method of d(CCGAATGAGG) in which the centromere core sequence motif GAATG is embedded. Three crystal forms were refined to near-atomic resolution. The structures reveal the detailed conformation of tandem G x A base pairs whose unique hydrogen-bonding surface has interesting interactions with bases, hydrated magnesium ions, cobalt(III)hexaammine, spermine, and water molecules. The results are relevant in understanding the structure associated with human centromere sequence in particular and G x A base pairs in nucleic acids (including RNA, like ribozyme) in general.
