Solution structure of DNA quadruplex GCGGTGGAT
Overview
The structure formed by the DNA sequence d(GCGGTGGAT) in a 100 mM Na(+), solution has been determined using molecular dynamics calculations, constrained by distance and dihedral restraints derived from NMR, experiments performed at isotopic natural abundance. The sequence folds, into a dimer of dimers. Each symmetry-related half contains two parallel, stranded G:G:G:G tetrads flanked by an A:A mismatch and by four-stranded, G:C:G:C tetrads. Each of the two juxtaposed G:C:G:C tetrads is composed of, alternating antiparallel strands from the two halves of the dimer. For, each single strand, a thymine intersperses a double chain reversal, connecting the juxtaposed G:G:G:G tetrads. This architecture has potential, implications in genetic recombination. It suggests a pathway for, oligomerization involving association of quadruplex entities through GpC, steps.
