Publication Abstract from PubMed

The crystal structure of the tetragonal form of d(gcGAAAgc) has been revised and reasonably refined including the disordered residues. The two DNA strands form a base-intercalated duplex, and the four duplexes are assembled according to the crystallographic 222 symmetry to form an octaplex. In the central region, the eight strands are associated by I-motif of double A-quartets. Furthermore, eight hydrated-magnesium cations link the four duplexes to support the octaplex formation. Based on these structural features, a proposal that folding of d(GAAA)n, found in the non-coding region of genomes, into an octaplex can induce slippage during replication to facilitate length polymorphism is presented.
